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.

Miss. Halley Peters esquire is by far the most dedicated, intelligent and honest lawyer I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She has represented me both personally and my company in numerous legal matters over the years. I have always been exceptionally satisfied with the outcomes she has procured for me time and time again. Her clients and what is in their best interest always comes first. She truly is the highest standard of a lawyer out there. Miss Peters is the only lawyer I will use or recommend. So if you’re in need of any legal services do yourself a favor and contact her.

I recently retained Boyd Law in San Diego for my custody for my son . I was appointed Joshua as my attorney and he has been nothing but amazing !

I wouldn't wish a divorce upon anyone. If you have to get a divorce, you'll want a layer who will have your best interests at heart, will work with you through your case and support you through the process. Gerry Maggio and his team were outstanding. I couldn't have gotten through it without them.

I hired Gerald Maggio to represent me in a spousal support dispute in January of 2022. The process was a pointlessly lengthy one due to many obstructions caused by opposing counsel and my ex, but Mr. Maggio was a godsend throughout the entire process. As things dragged on for more than two years - a ridiculous amount of time for what this should have entailed - his encouragement and support throughout were invaluable.
I would have given up many times over were it not for Mr. Maggio and his wonderful team. His representation of me was excellent from start to finish. The many problems and setbacks we were forced to overcome across this arduous process were handled exceptionally well and when all was finally said and done, we arrived at a very favorable resolution. This would not have been possible without Gerald Maggio and his team's tireless efforts and genuine support. I would like to say a deep, personal thank you to Mr. Maggio and everyone who works with and for him. If you need representation in anything divorce related, I would recommend him to anyone - he is knowledgeable, confident, responsive, and professional. I had nothing but positive interactions with him and I could not be more grateful for the fact that Gerald Maggio was the attorney who represented me these past two years.
Thank you!

I cannot say enough positive things about Madison Law! I highly recommend them for all of your legal needs. Legal matters are always a nightmare/dreadful but when you have an attorney like Jenos Heidari—the legal process becomes so much more pleasant. She gave me updates throughout the process and was very understanding /empathetic to the situation. She maintained professionalism while being thorough and maintaining effective communication. Her attention to detail is key! Paige Sirey also helped me with my case, and I had the same experience with her! If I ever need another legal team, I will definitely call Jenos Heidari and Paige Sirey. Thank you to both of you!

I was dealing with a case that I was getting overwhelmed and stressed from constantly going back and forth in court. My mom found Madison Law, Laura Hassan on a flyer at a church she attends. She saw good reviews of this law firm and a plus to us was that she speaks Spanish! When I walked into their office the receptionist was kind and helpful. When I met Laura Hassan she heard my story and noted down all the information. She was very honest and confident. At first, her colleague took the case but towards the end of the case Laura took over and was able to help me and end the case. Not only did she see what was in the best interest but she went above and beyond. She made me feel safe and stress free. I wish I would've met her before when I had this case in 2013. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a family attorney.

Jordon is personable and bright; his integrity is impeccable. Jordon is reassuring throughout the process and truly cares about his clients' wellbeing during the process. He is, however, busy with large cases that often result in less than timely responses to opposing counsel. Despite being assured that my case was no more or less important than any other, the actions spoke otherwise.
Before signing a retainer with Jordon, ask about how your case will be handled when he is tied up in court with another case (which occurs quite often). Be prepared to take a back seat to a more demanding and lucrative case than yours.

Jordan came into an existing case that had been throw with a world wind of lies, he ethically conveyed the truth upon the judge. Jordan is very sharp and knowledgeable with family law matters and made a complete storm clear the courtroom. Jordan was always very prompt in responding back to me about any concerns I had. Would highly recommend him!

Every time I have a legal question or need help, Jordon is the one I call. Finding someone that gets it and is passionate about your case- is rare! I can 100% say he does take your case personally. When I die, Jordon is actually the one I told my daughter to call to help her if she needs it and I can trust he will.

Getting a divorce after 30 years is the most devastating experience to any family. After 15 months of being represented by Dishon & Block I am convinced I made the best choice. Aaron Dishon listened attentively to my situation and organized the best team for my case. He helped me evaluate first all of my critical decisions. He demonstrated the highest ethics when he would remind me that a divorce is difficult on both sides. His extensive experience gives him quickly a clear picture of a plan when we had an obstacle. Marc Garelick is a perfectionist and has an unbelievable patience whenever he would explain to me his wealth of information. Marc understood it's difficult for me to believe in any words of hope. But, he continually repeated kind words of hope and support. Leea Summervelle is very professional and detailed oriented. The whole staff was always available to talk with me and eager to help. My questions were answered Via Emails within 15 minutes. They have given me the strength to survive the biggest loss anyone can ever face “his Family”. I am grateful for their sincere concerns and hard work. I am confident Aaron and his team got me the best settlement.

We had the war of the roses. When I showed up on Quinn's door, I had lost everything (children, home and companies) from previous counsel. Quinn "listened" to my goal and implemented a plan to achieve it. He maintained my expectations below that which he consistently achieved and vigorously fought for me and my child until balance was restored. We are forever grateful for the firm, its people and Quinn!

Stephane Quinn with the law firm of Quinn Dworakowski Family Law Attorneys LLP stepped in at the last minute of my 20+ year divorce case. My long-term attorney who was a wonderful person fell ill and had to resign then the second attorney I hired also fell ill and resigned. I was in violation of a court order and the judge refused my request to continue the trial to a later date. With only a week to prepare for trial Stephane Quinn and the entire law firm worked diligently to prepare for trial. In a matter of days they were well prepared and acquainted with the facts of the case unlike my prior attorneys. Stephane Quinn and Danielle Struwe his second chair went to court prepared and ready to handle such a long complicated and contentious divorce case. They presented an organized and well laid out plan of action. This ultimately led to a mutually fair resolution. This entire law firm is unbelievably dedicated to their clients and I highly recommend them especially for complicated divorce matters. Quinn and Danielle will forever have my deepest gratitude in settling this decades long matter. My only regret was not retaining them in the first place.

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

Rios and Rios is by far the most ethical and compassionate Family / Divorce law firms I could find. Ron Rios did an excellent job representing me in one of the most stressful times of my life. He was strategic yet conservative. He did not take advantage of the situation by over-billing and dragging my case on as most attorneys do. Ron consistently tried to work toward a quick resolution. Also, Sarah (the secretary) was patient and calm while directing me in gathering proper documents throughout the process. I would recommend anyone needing a Divorce / Family law attorney to consult with Ron as he is a Top Notch attorney in his field.

Ms. McKinley was an excellent asset in helping me navigate thru the family law court system. She is knowledgeable and was always very helpful in answering any question that I had. She is very flexible with her time, and is very accessible thru any means of communication, for example, phone calls, email, and texting. I would highly recommend Ms. McKinley as a family law attorney, and will definitely being using her in the future.

I contacted Erin McKinley in July 2016 to help me fight a difficult battle with my ex on joint child custody and with reunification counseling that the court ordered for 6months. My daughters voice wasn't being heard. So Erin helped me release my anxiety and stress on her and she won my court case for me! What an excited day it was.
Thank you Attorney Erin McKinley for all you do....

The gentleman who recommended Mr. Brian Mullen to me shared how Mr. Mullen successfully resolved his case expeditiously. According to his feedback, Mr. Mullen found simplified and effective ways to reach a good resolution for his matter, which meant minimal legal fees to this individual. This feedback spoke volumes to me. Like many, I was concerned about the cost of representation and finding a trustworthy lawyer. I am so happy that Mr. Mullen lived up to the expectations I had, which was a good lawyer with honest fees.
From the initial meeting, Mr. Mullen was an unmitigated professional. He listened to the details of my matter and offered his expertise on how we could resolve my issue. My case was atypical and we faced complications during the process that were beyond our control. Yet, Mr. Mullen kept finding solutions to every challenge we faced and we finally prevailed as a result of his expertise and steadfast persistence.
Getting the outcome I specifically hoped for by itself was a great victory. This victory was heightened when I found a competent and skillful representative with honest fees in Mr. Brian Mullen. I am smiling from ear-to-ear. Thank you also to Cheryl and Nuha, who were part of the winning team.

I rarely write reviews because they are normally not warranted. In this case, I feel I need to share my experience of over 6 years working with Wilkinson and Finkbeiner law firm, specifically with attorney Brian Mullen and his para legals and secretaries on many family law matters. He has diligently guided me through several family law issues ranging from questions on the my original divorce settlement, child custody issues to child support issues etc. Brian's calm demeanor and excellent knowledge of the law has saved me time and money, however best of all positive results. His abilities have enabled me to stay in my daughter's life and fulfill my responsibilities of being a dad which I cherish and enjoy. He understands the emotional issues that come along with family law matters and fought hard for me using his legal knowledge and his staff. I always felt comfortable that they were on top of every issue. He always took time to listen to my goals and planned accordingly with great legal advice at a reasonable price to get to my goals. I am more that pleased , I am grateful for all this firm and especially Brian has done for myself and family. I highly recommend this firm and especially Brian Mullen.

I must say I’m definitely glad to have found Andrew and Brian from this firm to help me. They are awesome guys! They took the time to truly understand the inner kinks in my case and analyzed my case from every angle, not just telling me what I wanted to hear. They took the time to explain to me my options instead of pressuring me into taking a position that I would end up regretting.
I must say this office is a well-oiled machine! They do things quickly and efficiently without sacrificing detail. The staff was also pretty awesome! Especially Cheryl! She was very helpful and was able to hone me in on the details that were very important in my case.
They never went a few days without updating me as to new occurrences and kept me in the loop at all times which I loved! I can’t say I have any complaints about my experience with them. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who needs family law help. There should be more attorneys like them out there. 🙂

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.

- Filing legal documents: Drafting and filing petitions, motions, and agreements with the court, such as divorce papers, custody agreements, or support orders.

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.

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.
