Going through a divorce was probably one of my life's most liberating moment. It was a difficult transition, but to be able to have the courage to finally do something you know you should have done for a long time. I knew the minute I met Andrew and Elizabeth that it was a match. Andrew was so stern, persuasive, and quick on his feet and Elizabeth is so precise, relatable and attention to detail. They both were very matter of fact, problem solvers, and total geniuses with numbers.
After our first initial consultation, I told them what was going on with my husband at the time's on going affairs and abuse. Without judgement, they sat and listened and gave me comfort in examples of what kind of cases they have scene and how mine was not the worse. I didn't have any children, I was still at a pretty young age, and they asked me: "Do you want to leave him?" and I said yes! Just that first decision was a shift in stepping into my own and choosing happiness over obligation. They were able to file for a divorce and served him the subpoena the day he got back from his "business trip"
They were always on top of everything and when we first started off I was making rookie mistakes like forwarding every threatening email my ex would write me which they could have easily billed me for but they made sure to get me on the phone to advise me how to consolidate and print the emails so I can save some money.
The whole team here are so helpful. If I had a question, I would get a response almost right away, or if they were in court at least a couple hours after. If emails were too long to write out, I would get a phone call so that everything is clear and we know exactly what the action plan is as to next steps. I always felt I was taken care of and that they were on my side and behind me, fighting for what I deserve.
During the last step of mediation, and we sat across from my ex and his lawyer. I could not have been more confident and ready. Every attempt my ex brought up to try to take from me such as my luxury handbags, jewelry, 401k, engagement ring, down payment of our houses, somehow Andrew would find something to rebuttal, and reason him out of it.
Through the whole process, they were thorough, strategic and got me out with more than I could ask for. I am finally a new woman, without a cheating husband and have my own house, car and bank account full of savings I can fall back on singing "You don't own me, I'm not just one of your many toys...". I am now officially divorced, the final paperwork was filed with the court and the minute that happened and I got the email from Andrew and Elizabeth I literally felt 100% exonerated.
I know I wouldn't have been able to do it on my own. All that paperwork, my ex and his many masks, scheming, harassing, manipulating... paying the lawyers to do all the work and not having to deal with being in contact with my ex was worth every penny. It's been 8 months since I filed for divorce, I have seen couples that are still trying to get their spouse to sign 2 years after filing for divorce. I am so relieved it only took us 8 months. Now that it's all over, I can move on to the next chapter of my life.
Thank you Andrew, Elizabeth, Robin and the entire team for being so efficient and supportive during this process. I highly recommend anyone looking for representation to hire Andrew and Elizabeth. You will not regret it!

When it comes to family law attorneys there are many choices out there. I wouldn't trust anyone to handle my personal affairs other than Elizabeth Johnson. She helped me with a family matter and it couldn't have resulted in a better outcome. I am very thankful to her and her partner, Andrew Klausner, for that.
Her professionalism and knowledge are second to none (unfortunately I've worked with several family law attorneys). Not to mention, she is an attorney you can place your trust in as she is just a great person overall. That comes across from the moment that you meet her. I would have no reservations having Elizabeth represent me again or referring her to someone that needs her services. She truly puts her client's best interests first.

Being a mother in a dangerous relationship/living situation was my worst nightmare -- it became my reality as a 21 year old. I was terrified to take legal action against my daughters father, and after speaking with Ms. Johnson (And Mr. Klausner -- @Klausner Johnson LLP) I felt a sense of relief. Elizabeth is direct, compassionate and determined. Her personality was comforting in this horrible time of my life. She took detailed notes whenever I spoke, prepared my papers carefully and made sure I was up to date with each step of the process. I walked away with a Domestic Violence Restraining Order, full legal and physical custody of my daughter and most importantly, I had peace of mind knowing my daughter and I were safe.

We had a fantastic experience working with Beatrice Phan Law for updating our family living trust. We had created, revised, and updated our trust over the past several years with three other estate attorneys previously, and I can say with certainty that Beatrice Phan Law provided the BEST and most thorough service and planning of them all. We especially enjoyed working with her client services director, Helen Pak, who is AMAZING-- exceptional listener, very attentive and thorough, warm and friendly, professional and kind...all at the same time. Beatrice has a clear process that she follows for her clients, which I appreciate. It's something that doesn't happen overnight, nor should it: creating or updating your trust is an important step in taking care of your family and loved ones, so it does require a lot of thought and time, especially if you need to have those deeper conversations with your spouse about things. Beatrice and Helen were great in working with our busy schedules as well as keeping us accountable and reminded of the upcoming follow-up appointments we had together. We greatly appreciate all that Beatrice and Helen have done in bringing us peace of mind and taking care of us.

Beatrice Phan and her legal assistant, Helen Pak, prepared my estate documents (trust, will, POA, etc). The whole process was "painless". I will use them in the future as needed and I recommend them to anyone needing estate legal planning services.

If I could give Adam 10 stars, I absolutely would! From the start, he made what is often a daunting process feel approachable and manageable. Adam not only explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, but he also went above and beyond by meeting with me personally several times to review documents and provide updates. His professionalism is unmatched, but what truly sets him apart is how personable and down-to-earth he is. You never feel like just another client—he genuinely cares. My case began in 2019, and thanks to Adam’s dedication and expertise, I finally received my expungement in 2024. I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate by my side!

When my husband got into some unfortunate legal trouble, we were quick to jump online to find a lawyer. I have to say, we were incredibly lucky to find Adam. He was SO quick to call us back (on a Saturday!) and provided us so much support and reassurance. We had never needed a lawyer in our lives so this was a brand new experience. Adam took the time to explain the laws, all the potential outcomes and how to go forward with our situation. In the end, he dealt with the situation for us and everything turned out great! I’m thankful we found him, and (I mean this with all the love in the world) I hope to never need him again!
Adam is a pro and I obviously highly recommend him to anyone who has found themselves in a tough legal predicament.

I highly recommend Laura Hassan and the entire team at Madison Law. Laura represented me in my Divorce and oI was absolutely pleased with the outcome of my settlement. The entire team worked so hard for me, we were running against the clock at times and they burned the midnight oil to ensure my documents and statements represented my best interests. Throughout the process, I felt safe, comfortable and most importantly respected. My divorce was complex and involved forensic accountants. The team took my case head on after I parted ways with an attorney who had been negligent. My case was settled within six months of my retaining Madison Law. I would use this Law firm again without hesitation.

Laura Hassan
Navigating a challenging custody, property, and support dispute, I had the privilege of being represented by Laura, an exceptional family law attorney. From our initial consultation, she demonstrated a profound understanding of the legal landscape, and a genuine commitment to my case. Her strategic expertise and unwavering support were instrumental in securing a favorable outcome, particularly in the custody matters that held paramount importance to me.
Laura’s professionalism is matched by her compassionate approach. She took the time to listen, understand my concerns, and tailor her representation to my unique needs. Her guidance provided clarity during a tumultuous time, and her dedication ensured that my family’s best interests were always at the forefront.
Although I had to discontinue her services due to financial constraints, I remain deeply grateful for her contributions. I wholeheartedly recommend Laura to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, empathetic, and tenacious advocate in family law.

Christian is the BEST attorney! He provided me a clear explanation of my case which made it less stressful in the beginning. He is understanding and supportive. There was no problem reaching him at any time of the day. He was transparent since the day I met him and that’s an important factor when choosing the right attorney. He will make sure you have everything you need even before the judge will ask for it. He made me feel ready at every hearing. He has plenty of experience at what he does. He will fight for you every step of the way. I definitely recommend him! You will not regret it one bit. He deserves more than a 5 stars with the effort he has put into my case. Thank you for your time and service, Christian. It was a pleasure working with you.

Christian is the best fit for you if you are looking for a criminal defense attorney. The prosecutor bullied me 12!!! courts simply because I had a public defender. I was facing a lot of trouble, but an acquaintance recommended him. Christian's strategic recommendation turned the tide in my case. He studied the case and said that my case was 100% winnable. I trusted him, and this is the result. Today, I was cleared of all charges. Thank you so much, Christian. I will recommend you to anyone who is in trouble.

I am incredibly grateful to the Law Office of Cameron M. Fernandez and, specifically, to Robert Sulivan for their exceptional support during one of the most challenging times of my life. Rob’s dedication, attention to detail, and understanding of my case were remarkable. He ensured the best outcome for my son and me.
What stood out most was the genuine care and compassion Rob and the team showed throughout the process. One of the meetings, where Robert Sullivan and Cameron Fernandez supported me further by going through a PowerPoint presentation I made detailing the context and concerns of the case, was invaluable. It helped me understand the process better and gave me the confidence to perform effectively in court. Their guidance and expertise were instrumental in achieving success. Robert Sullivan reiterated the questions multiple times to ensure I had enough chances to articulate my concerns in court. Robert Sullivan performed very strongly on my last trial day, which led to the success of my case, addressing the relocation of my minor child.
This team not only provided legal expertise but also offered emotional support during an incredibly stressful time. I wholeheartedly recommend the Law Office of Cameron M. Fernandez to anyone needing dedicated and professional family law representation. Thank you for everything!

Hiring RMD law was the best decision I could have made. From the moment I reached out, they provided instant relief from all the stress I was carrying and gave me the peace of mind I desperately needed. Knowing that an expert with my best interests in mind was handling everything made all the difference!
Their professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail are unmatched. I can't recommend them highly enough! I'll be sharing their contact info with all my friends and family, just in case they ever need help. If I ever find myself in need of assistance again, they will be the very first call I make.
Thank you for turning such a stressful situation into something manageable—I’m truly grateful!

RMD Law is the Best Personal Injury Law Firm around! I was injured in a head-on collision caused by a drunk driver. RMD Law got me the highest possible offer from my insurance limits. I signed with RMD Law after speaking with every major law firm in San Diego. I decided to go with RMD Law because John Rajee was so helpful and patient in helping me navigate this challenging process. John was always responsive and there for me every step of the way. It is very important that I enjoy talking to the person I am working with, and I found that to be the case with John. I felt he had my best interests at heart, was genuine, and wanted to help me (tough to find in personal injury law). Chelsie was also extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Many other law firms in my city I spoke to could not be bothered with many questions, but that was not the case with RMD Law, and that's why I chose to go with them. They are extremely professional, and I will highly recommend them to anyone.

There is no question how difficult and heavily emotional the divorce already is for the person. Having an honest, direct, accessible lawyer who is actually very good and knowledgeable at what he does while being caring is VERY important. Also he is very quick, which trust me is really important in the process. I definitely recommend Pouya to anyone going through this difficult phase of their lives, so they don’t have an extra worry on top of all other heavy changes happening in their lives.

Going through any legal litigation process is daunting and scary. Divorce especially is hard due to the many emotions that are associated with leaving a life behind. The impact it can have on you and your family members can last forever. That’s why it is imperative to find someone who can represent you that you can trust, has your best interest in mind, and will walk you through this painful process. I hired Pouya to help me through my divorce process. He was upfront, honest, and told me exactly what to expect and what I needed to do. Something that stood out to me was how communicative he was and how he was always there to answer any question I had. This is unheard of as most lawyers are impossible to get a hold of. Pouya was instrumental in getting me what I wanted through my divorce and helped me every step of the way. From someone who has gone through this process, I can say without hesitation, Pouya is one of the best out there. I highly recommend him and would not have been able to get through this process without him.

Mr. Kapesh Patel is an outstanding attorney, I was very excited and confident to have a childhood friend since 1988 to represent me. He helped settle a complicated dissolution of marriage when things were not looking good for me. I started my case with a different attorney who clearly could not handle my case properly, I was heading into my 3rd year of back and forth with negotiations. I knew it was time to bring in a professional, I reached out to Mr. Patel and subbed him in as my new attorney, after a few short months Mr. Patel reviewed my case, and was able to settle with the opposing counsel for a fair settlement. I was very happy with the outcome and the support that Mr. Patel offered me during this difficult time. He was always available and ready to answer my questions. I will always be grateful.
I would highly recommend Mr. Kapesh Patel for your family law legal matters; he will work for you.

When it comes to family law, having a competent, understanding, and well-respected attorney is a must. After much research, we decided to trust Jon Mason with our move-away case. After explaining our situation during a phone consultation, he was honest with us about the challenges we might face and gave us a good idea of what we could expect. Throughout the whole process, he made himself available for phone calls, responded promptly to our emails, and was diligent in writing and filing paperwork for our case. After submitting declarations and enduring a 730 child evaluation (ruling in our favor), we were able to reach a settlement allowing us to move out of state with our son. We can’t put into words how grateful we are for Mr. Mason and all the hard work he put in to winning our case. Move-away cases can be difficult to win, but with the guidance and expertise that Jon brings to the table, you’ll set yourself up for the best chance at winning.

I don't write many reviews but felt compelled to given Jonathan Mason's excellent work on our complicated out of state child custody case. After researching many reviews/websites he was a godsend to our family. We wanted someone we could feel comfortable with as well as someone who had enough experience to guide us through this dreadful process. He was responsive, patient, compassionate, honest and gave us piece of mind the entire time. He handled our case with the highest degree of professionalism. Jonathan helped bring the truth and facts to light in our court case. I want to thank Jonathan for representing us during one of the most difficult, frustrating and emotional times for our family. He always made us feel like our case was priority. Because of him we were able to gain primary custody of our five year old!!! I can't express how highly I recommend his services to anyone who feels like they are the underdog. If you are reading this you MUST hire him and if you don't, I wish you luck because you will need it. Jonathan - I wish you and your team much success! You will forever be our go to attorney and we will send friends and family your way.

I was referred by a friend to Bruce and his law firm. Bruce and his staff helped me with resolve a family law case matter related to an old judgement where my ex husband was in contempt of the court order.
Working with Bruce made the process so seamless. My first consultation was free, and Bruce was so diligent in taking the time to thoroughly and carefully listening to the details of my case he narrowed down a strategic plan. He explained the details of the plan and explained the step by step process of my my case. Bruce was extremely attentive throughout the process and was able to resolve the case quickly which resulted in us not needing to go to court and settle the case and thus saving me money and time that otherwise would be spent.
Bruce is a great professional, ethical and extremely knowledgeable and knows what he is doing. He is prompt and quick at getting things done and I really appreciate all his help with my manner. I highly recommend him and will definitely come back for any legal needs in the future.

Andy and his team has been with me since day 1. He helped me to win full custody of my child. He then helped me to obtain move away orders years later. Now I’ve come back a 3rd time and he’s won for me yet again! He has never let me down and has always been honest and straight forward. Andrew and his team are supportive and clear when explaining and they set honest expectations. I feel so confident every time I’ve had to enter the courtroom because I have Andrew and his team on my side. I would recommend Andrew and his team to my loved ones and anyone who wants to have the best on their team.

Andrew Klausner is an awesome attorney! After 13 months of my case dragging on, and my previous attorney was just billing me dry. I decided to hire Andrew Klausner to handle my case. He took the bull by the horns, cut through all the crap that was being thrown around by opposing attorney. He argued the law like a pro that he is. Shut the other side down and won the case. Highly recommend Klausner and Johnson.

Hiring RMD law was the best decision I could have made. From the moment I reached out, they provided instant relief from all the stress I was carrying and gave me the peace of mind I desperately needed. Knowing that an expert with my best interests in mind was handling everything made all the difference!
Their professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail are unmatched. I can't recommend them highly enough! I'll be sharing their contact info with all my friends and family, just in case they ever need help. If I ever find myself in need of assistance again, they will be the very first call I make.
Thank you for turning such a stressful situation into something manageable—I’m truly grateful!

RMD Law is the Best Personal Injury Law Firm around! I was injured in a head-on collision caused by a drunk driver. RMD Law got me the highest possible offer from my insurance limits. I signed with RMD Law after speaking with every major law firm in San Diego. I decided to go with RMD Law because John Rajee was so helpful and patient in helping me navigate this challenging process. John was always responsive and there for me every step of the way. It is very important that I enjoy talking to the person I am working with, and I found that to be the case with John. I felt he had my best interests at heart, was genuine, and wanted to help me (tough to find in personal injury law). Chelsie was also extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Many other law firms in my city I spoke to could not be bothered with many questions, but that was not the case with RMD Law, and that's why I chose to go with them. They are extremely professional, and I will highly recommend them to anyone.

Fraud! Was awarded a 22K settlement and received fraudulent paperwork claiming Epstein credits of 21K to my ex. The law firm stole 21K. For this you will be disbarred and indicted. Contacted the ex and she said she sent a check to the attorney for 22K. I do not endorse this law firm for anyone seeking legal services. Contacting the California Bar first thing Monday. Right up there with Michael Avenatti

Matt Cadwell is AWESOME!!!
Matt Cadwell, and the entire staff at Boyd law, gave me reasons to believe that lawyers are not money suckers. In my experience, Matt has proven that the team at Boyd Law actually cares and thinks about their clients first.
Divorce is one of the most stressful things a person can go through. Matt was right there with me every step of the way. His commitment to my case give me the courage to fight for what is rightfully mine and not be taken advantage of. He is the most kindest, supportive, easy to talk to attorney I've ever met.
He attended court with me on several occasions throughout my long complicated divorce and won some unthinkable hearings.
I am very grateful for all the help and support Matt provided me and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a top-notch attorney.

It has been an amazing experience in what could be the most stressful time in someone's life. I'm extremely lucky to have worked with such an amazing group of professionals who were supportive, caring and treated me with the utmost respect. Matt Cadwell (Managing Attorney), Maggie, Susana, Ashley, Richard and Kimberly were amazing (there are probably a few others that have helped - it felt like I had the entire firm on my side)! They were relentless (in a good way) and kept me aware of what was going on with my case at my pace. They were extremely responsive to any questions I had.
Matt was an amazing individual - he truly tried to keep my options open and gave me different routes we could take - balancing financial and time concerns. He never quit and always had a plan in place if certain avenues didn't pan out - this was a very intricate dissolution.
I'm fortunate that we were able to get a resolution and it was worth the time and investment.
Overall I’m very thankful for all of everyone's efforts - especially Matt's. I would definitely recommend them to anyone that needs legal support!

I never imagined having to fight for my kids. We always said it would never happen. Well my ex banked on the fact that I would not be able to fight. I almost couldn't until I found Matt Cadwell. As an attorney Matt went above and beyond to help me and my children. As a human being he understood my position and took all necessary stes to make sure my case was heard and my needs were met. Listening to all my concerns, wants and needs, Matt developed a strategy that proved to be successful. While preparing for trial, Matt gave me the opportunity to read and review all questions and gave me an opportunity to insert questions of my own while constantly reminding me that this was all up to me and he would do whatever I wanted. He showed concern for my well being each and every step of the grueling court process. Matt is not only smart and professional, he has a heart and understands his clients needs. This was not easy, but Matt prevailed and the judge had no choice but to make a decision in my favor. Each time I was nervous or scared, Matt was able to calm me down by reminding me that being nervous was good because I cared. He cared too. Whether I needed help with emails or understanding procedures, Matt made sure I understood. He fought hard and spent countless hours preparing himself and me for trial. I would recommend Matt Cadwell to anyone that should find themselves in need of services through such a difficult time in life. Trust me. I had to interview several attprneys after firing the first one I had. Matt is honest, dependable and will work extremely hard for each of his clients. If you found yourself on this page because you need someone to fight for you, Matt is the fuy you want and need to stand with you and fight for you.

We had a fantastic experience working with Beatrice Phan Law for updating our family living trust. We had created, revised, and updated our trust over the past several years with three other estate attorneys previously, and I can say with certainty that Beatrice Phan Law provided the BEST and most thorough service and planning of them all. We especially enjoyed working with her client services director, Helen Pak, who is AMAZING-- exceptional listener, very attentive and thorough, warm and friendly, professional and kind...all at the same time. Beatrice has a clear process that she follows for her clients, which I appreciate. It's something that doesn't happen overnight, nor should it: creating or updating your trust is an important step in taking care of your family and loved ones, so it does require a lot of thought and time, especially if you need to have those deeper conversations with your spouse about things. Beatrice and Helen were great in working with our busy schedules as well as keeping us accountable and reminded of the upcoming follow-up appointments we had together. We greatly appreciate all that Beatrice and Helen have done in bringing us peace of mind and taking care of us.

Beatrice Phan and her legal assistant, Helen Pak, prepared my estate documents (trust, will, POA, etc). The whole process was "painless". I will use them in the future as needed and I recommend them to anyone needing estate legal planning services.

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You
A family law lawyer provides legal services related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. Family lawyers help clients navigate emotionally charged legal issues, providing guidance and representation in disputes that affect spouses, children, and parents. Whether you're going through a divorce, seeking custody of your children, or drafting a prenuptial agreement, a family law lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your interests are represented.
Family law attorneys often handle sensitive matters and offer objective legal advice, helping clients reach fair outcomes either through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?
Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
- Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.
- Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.
- Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: A lawyer can help draft or review agreements that protect your assets in case of divorce.
- Adoption: Family law lawyers guide you through the legal process of adoption, ensuring that all requirements are met.
- Domestic violence or restraining orders: If you're a victim of domestic violence or being falsely accused, a lawyer can help you obtain or challenge protective orders.
- Paternity cases: If there are questions about the paternity of a child, a lawyer can help establish or dispute legal fatherhood.
Hiring a lawyer early can prevent issues from escalating, and they can offer you the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome in emotionally charged situations.
What Does a Family Law Lawyer Do?
A family law lawyer provides a wide range of services depending on your specific legal needs. Their responsibilities may include:
- Advising on legal rights and options: Helping you understand your legal rights regarding divorce, child custody, support, and other family law issues.
- Filing legal documents: Drafting and filing petitions, motions, and agreements with the court, such as divorce papers, custody agreements, or support orders.
- Representing clients in court: Arguing your case in front of a judge if a settlement can’t be reached through negotiation or mediation.
- Mediation and negotiation: Assisting with alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, to reach agreements on issues like custody, property division, and support without going to trial.
- Enforcing court orders: Helping you enforce court orders related to child support, alimony, or custody if the other party fails to comply.
- Drafting prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: Creating agreements that protect your assets in the event of a divorce.
- Handling adoption proceedings: Ensuring that the legal process of adoption is followed, from filing paperwork to finalizing the adoption in court.
How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?
Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
- Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
- Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.
The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.
How Much Does a Family Law Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a family law lawyer varies based on factors such as the lawyer's experience, the location, and the complexity of your case. Here are some general cost guidelines:
- Hourly rates: Family law lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
- Flat fees: For simpler cases, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
- Retainers: For more complex matters, such as contested divorces or custody battles, lawyers may charge a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 or more. The lawyer will bill against the retainer for the work they do on your case.
- Additional costs: You may also be responsible for additional costs, such as filing fees, mediation fees, or expert witness fees.
Always ask for a clear breakdown of the lawyer’s fees and any additional expenses during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -
Who will be handling my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
- Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
- Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
- Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.
Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
