Ben Moore did an excellent job helping my dad after his auto accident. All of the phone calls from the insurance companies, the medical bills that starting coming in. The doctors and PT apointments. He was just trying to get better and it all became overwhelming for him. Ben took over the whole thing and dad didn't have to worry about it again. The case finally settled last week. My Dad wasn't looking to make money - he just wanted everything to be covered. He walked away with extra! So thankful for Ben. We knew we could trust him to handle everything and he went above and beyond and put my dad's mind at ease through the entire process. He is professional and trustworthy. We highly recommend his services.

Ms. Plata is an exceptionally fine attorney who represented our son in a juvenile matter which had serious consequences. Ms. Plata's dedication to our son's case we consider above and beyond our expectations with an outcome much better than anticipated. If you wish to have an attorney that has compassion for their client and truly cares I would highly recommend her firm for any of your legal matters.

Working with Ms. Plata was THE best experience I have had. This was my first time needing an attorney so I was a bit nervous but she made the experience easy and quick. She started working on my case the next day and communicated with me every step of the way so I wasn't confused on anything. I would definitely use Ms. Plata again and recommend her to everyone! If I could give more stars I would, 5 is just not enough!

I don't even know where to start! Ms. Eilert was amazing from start to finish! Timely and efficient communication, very knowledgeable and informative regarding my entire case. She was not afraid to tell me when I was being unrealistic. She is so organized and told me what to expect before each step of the case process. I am both happy and sad this is over! I could not have asked to work with anyone better. If you need someone passionate about their work and their clients, she is the one for you!

I used Ms. Lasky's firm for my divorce and it was the smoothest experience I could've asked for. The lawyer that handled my case as well as all the paralegals and staff members were extremely professional and helpful. I was getting answers to my questions literally within a couple of minutes.
Their rates are extremely competitive and they will not charge you a penny more than they quoted you.
Overall, an amazing experience and I would highly recommend them.

This law firm made me feel like a part of their family! Everyone was always professional, with their own added love. I never had to wait long for any response to any question that I had for them. Cindy was very knowledgeable on military ways, and she was very honest and straight forward with everything. She never pulled any punches with me. The ladies at the front desk, along with Stephanie, were always there when I needed anything. With their smiles and kind words they made me feel at ease. Desire, what can I say except for she is "THE BEST". She really helped me through a rough time in my life, so THANK YOU, with all your kind words. So if you want a team that will work for you and make you feel like you are a part of a family, and make you feel like you are the only client, this is the law firm for you. Professional, Loving and Great at their job!!!!!

In a normal world when a person needs an attorney it is usually for writing a will, settling an estate or buying property. In the abnormal world of bitter divorces and family ravaging child custody cases a person needs more than an attorney; that person needs a counselor who knows children, is more than familiar with divorce settlements, shares empathy for the war-torn victims of one-sided bullying, gets involved both professionally and emotionally with her clients and exhibits a mastery of case law practicing it on the high side of ethics and morality. In Jacksonville, that attorney is Cindy Lasky of the Lasky Law Firm.
During a recent case involving our family Cindy Lasky needed all of the afore mentioned traits to lead us to victory in a courtroom dominated by difficult and harassing opposing attorneys and their determined client. She practiced the type of law and defense that rose above all the baseless trumped up charges, innuendo, and limitless petitions / motions brought by the opposition designed to influence a judge who wouldn’t have it.
Cindy Lasky exposed all the falsehoods and mistakes of the opposition by using carefully worded case law precedents, and keeping exact records of statements made, issues visited, and claims asserted. All this was not without trepidation. Every step of the way to final victory, Cindy was all-in on both the work she needed to do, much of it after normal office hours, and the emotions that a mother feels for her own children and their welfare.
Cindy Lasky was the whole package for us in our time of need and I can tell she does the same for all her clients. She surely made my day as the final judgement came down; and she made the many sleepless nights worrying beforehand disappear from my emotional memory. In addition, her staff is super-efficient, cordial, and comforting; and both the staff and Cindy made themselves amicably available for our many impromptu queries. Thank you.

Attorney Stephen Kelly displays knowledge and confidence that warrants respect just in his voice. He ask questions to insure he understands the full situation, investigates the facts and responds to the client with dignity. His strong ethics allow you to trust that he will represent you/your loved one according to the plan that has been discussed. His fees were reasonable. He was very professional and responsive giving the personal attention needed. He gave me the peace of mind I needed since I was out of town. I would recommend him to anyone.

I hired Mr.Kelly at a time that was very much needed I was facing ten years and I was also dealing with a lawyer who was telling me and my family fictional stories about my case. Mr. Kelly came in with a right mitigation package got me down to a two and a half years of house arrest/probation I am so thankful for the work that he did. And I look up to him he is a very upstanding person and inspirational man.

I have used this firm twice now and the first case completely won me over. Every one knows me on a first name basis. Constantly communicating with their clients thru the process. I have used other firms and despite their empty promises they didn’t compare to the professionalism and honesty that I have received with this firm.
A particular shout out to Jordan Beard who will go the extra mile at any cost for his clients. Reassuring me that I’ve chosen the right group of attorneys to reapers sent me to their very best capabilities!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND RONALD SCHOOLS LAW FIRM TO ANY ONE TRYING TO MAKE THE DIFFICULT DECISION OF WHO TO HAVE REPRESENT YOU!

Attorneys Ron Sholes and Blair Butler at Ron Sholes P.A. fought to get a terrific auto accident recovery for me of $125,000. I am thrilled. I believe other firms may have settled for less, but I witnessed how Ron and Blair fight tooth and nail every step of the way for their clients in Jacksonville to get the maximum recovery for auto accidents. Ron and Blair stayed on top of my auto accident case and communicated with me every step of the way. Both Ron and Blair even gave me their cell phone numbers right up front--Wow! Everyone worked to provide an excellent experience and a great recovery. I will definitely recommend Ron Sholes P.A. to my family, friends, and coworkers for auto accidents and any other legal areas that the firm practices. I would give them 10 Gold Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ if I could. I guess I just did.

My company was downsizing and as a senior employee at retirement age, I lost my job. Knowing that I could not continue paying the high-cost permanent alimony that the court ordered years ago, I needed help. Remembering that a friend highly recommended Attorney Bill Dorsey, I scheduled a consultation. There was a fee, but it was worth it because “you get what you pay for”.
I hired Bill and I am extremely fortunate that I did. He led throughout the entire process, and was assisted by team members Sue and Erica. When you hire The Dorsey Law Firm, they are genuinely interested in your case and are extremely helpful. Requests were promptly managed, and the team ALWAYS kept me informed on the status of current proceedings or actions. Impressive!
At Mediation, a remarkably successful resolution was reached. I could not be happier!
Bill Dorsey is Outstanding! YOU NEED his subject knowledge and strategic recommendations. If you want the best outcome for any court issue, call Bill Dorsey.

Mr Dorsey and his team helped dig me out of the messy trench my last 2 lawyers had left me in. I can’t begin to explain how bad my first few lawyers had screwed up my case and made me look bad against an abusive drug addict narcissist who could charm the pant suit off Hilary Clinton. Mr Dorsey took on my case and for the first time I actually felt like I could trust my lawyer. Unlike my last attorney who charged me an insane amount of money to screw me over, Mr Dorsey gave me a free consultation and always charged me honestly and fairly. He gave me his personal cell number for emergencies and him and his team were always very responsive to my calls and emails. He fought tooth and nail against one of the most dishonest and corrupt opposing councils I have ever seen! He is well known and honored around Jacksonville and St Augustine by many other esteemed lawyers and judges.
If you are in need of a good, honest attorney who will fight for you as if you were his own family, you need to hire Bill Dorsey and his team. He is tough and does not give up. Believe me, I probably had the largest case file he had ever taken on in a civil case and he took the time to go over all of it so he didn’t miss a thing. He is stern but honest so listen to his advice because he knows what he is talking about. I can only say that about 1 other lawyer and I have met way more than I ever wanted to.
If you are like me and can’t trust your lawyer and have been paying someone and trusting them with your life but all they seem to do is ignore you and take your money: HIRE BILL DORSEY and he will help you get your life (your child/children) back!

No one really wants to go through any family/custody battles. So when I was faced with this issues I had no choice but to retain an attorney. After numerous hours/days of research I found the Dorsey Law Firm.
I came to Mr. Dorsey with a lot of uncertainty with my impending custody case. During my consultation Mr. Dorsey was fully tuned in and very attentive. He answered every question I had very confidently. After I retained Mr. Dorsey, his team and himself started working on the case promptly. They filed an emergency motion and was able to get a hearing for temporary custody within a few weeks. I was granted temporary custody until the outcome of the final hearing.
In Preparation for the final hearing Mr. Dorsey and the team were with me every step of the way. They reassured me of the potential outcome, instilled confidence in myself and the direction of the case. During the final hearing Mr. Dorsey was very thorough, firm, and fully prepared. His cross examination skills, rebuttals, presentation, and delivery was superb.
As a result, I was grant 75% percent of time sharing. I have never felt better and once again I was stress free.
Mr. Dorsey is Very professional and has many years of experience with a great rapport with the judges, prosecutors and other attorneys. He’s very firm, straightforward, and passionate about his work and clients. He is well known and well respected amongst his peers. His resume speaks for itself.
A big shout out to The Dorsey team. Susan and Heather. They are very hard working, detail oriented, & very professional. They truly care about people.
Stop shopping for attorneys based on price. Mr. Dorsey is the Best Bang for The Buck. He is my guy!!!!!!

Joseph and his team are incredible. I was dealing with a long distance divorce/custody case, with homeschooled children. I'd had a couple of attorneys, only one of whom actually helped, but then things seemed to fall apart. I needed to make some changes because my children were not doing well.
Our plan hadn't been finalized yet, so time was of the essence.
A few other mommas, in a similar situation, recommended Joe. I consulted with a few attorneys, but none of them were willing to really listen. All of them left me feeling hopeless and very triggered. After years of psychological and emotional abuse, I wasn't in a place to be able to handle those types of attorneys.
Joe was different. He was careful, calm, kind, and compassionate, but still straightforward with no b.s. I felt safe. I think that's what all of us want, really. Joe stayed in communication with me. He didn't leave me hanging. He kept me informed, answered every question, and was patient through all of it. He didn't yell at me (yeah, that has happened before). He helped me see things that needed to be seen and understand from better perspectives.
It was a bonus that we saw eye to eye on some things and I didn't feel like I had to defend myself to him.
We were able to come up with a new plan that kept the children's best interests as the top priority and avoid going to trial.
I'm truly grateful and blessed. God put him in my path right when I needed it most.
I have given his information to several mommas who are in need of help, and will continue to do so.

Thanks to Joe and his team they helped me reach an agreement without going to court. They led and held my hand the whole way in a very scary and emotional situation. He has great communication and I felt like he really saw and heard me. I know they are very busy but he was always very up to date on my case like it was the only one. I would recommend this team for my friends and family’s and anyones’s family law needs.

Mr. Alvarez and his team did a fantastic job with my custody modification case and thanks to him I was able to reach an agreement that was better than our best day in court. He made the emotional and stressful process easy to grasp thanks to his kind and compassionate demeanor. I know he’s busy but I always felt like I was his only client! He was always up to date with my case and always a step ahead. I also felt like he had my family’s best interests at heart-High recommend him for all your family law needs!

I was referred to Mr. Mason by a friend that had used his services in the past. Mr. Mason represented me in a professional, friendly, honest manner in which he made sure that I understood the risks, potential outcomes etc. in the case. I was pleased to have been able to settle something so quickly that was unnecessary in the first place to have to do. Although I hope that I do not need additional legal counsel, I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Mason again.

I posted a question regarding divorce proceedings that I am currently involved with and Ms. Drake was kind enough to answer me accordingly. I ended up messaging her and we began to communicate so I took the liberty of regurgitating my situation in detail regarding how I was mistreated by the Petition's Counsel.
She gave me solid advice and explained some differences in procedures from her jurisdiction versus mine. She didn't seem to mind that I just dumped a years worth of legal situations in her ear as she kindly and politely replied to me without judgement. I have had quite a few interactions with male attorneys and not too many interactions with female attorneys. I'm not attempting to make this a male/female battle but I am finding that there is something much better with regard to female attorneys. Male attorneys don's seem to take the time to actually read or listen to what one writes or speaks and Ms. Drake definitely read and listened to me because she answered my questions directly and to the point with clear and concise responses. She practices in Jacksonville Florida and does not venture out very far from her county's jurisdiction. If she did, I would very much consider retaining her as my counsel due to her attentiveness itself. Besides her photo displays a very warm and kind smile.

Thanks to Elizabeth we could not be happier about the outcome of our case. She guided us through the confusion and emotional distress of a child custody hearing.

I couldn't be happier with the representation we got from ms. Ondriezek's office. My family was in need of good legal advice and action, and we got it. They were very responsive and got us the result we needed... which might well not have happened had we gone it alone. When we needed to wait, we waited. When people had to be contacted, they contacted them. Should we need a family law representative ever again, we will be back.

Elizabeth R. Ondriezek, P.A. came highly recommend by a fellow attorney. I sat with Elizabeth on my initial consultation and she was honest and straight forward on my divorce options and possible outcome. Jennifer was assigned to my case, and she was professional, worked with my ex-husband’s attorney and negotiated a fair settlement. Out of the five things I wanted out of the divorce Jennifer successfully negotiated them with a positive outcome. I would highly recommend Elizabeth R. Ondriezek, P.A. to those who may find themselves in the same situation.

Carolyn Wagner represented me during an unusually difficult divorce. My ex cycled through four separate attorneys between the divorce, child custody and financial disputes. She was essentially responsible for bring each of these new players up to speed with what had already transpired. I am certain that it was frustrating for her. Yet she never wavered. She was a picture of professionalism, kept me continually informed, never hesitated to answer my questions, and always returned my calls promptly. I was made to feel that my problems were her problems as well. She showed empathy and a personal interest in my case. I am not an easy person to impress. She impressed me. I will continue to use her for any future legal needs and have happily recommended her to my closest friends and family.

I recently had the privilege of working with Mr. Teddy Rivera and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the exceptional legal services provided. From the outset, Teddy Rivera demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that surpassed my expectations.
What impressed me most was Teddy Rivera 's attention to detail and commitment to ensuring that every aspect of my case was thoroughly examined and addressed. The clear and concise communication throughout the process helped alleviate any concerns I had, providing me with the confidence that I was in capable hands.
Mr. Teddy Rivera not only possesses an extensive knowledge of the law but also has a remarkable ability to convey complex legal concepts in a way that is easily understandable. This made the entire experience much more manageable and allowed me to make informed decisions about my case.
Beyond the technical aspects of the legal work, Mr. Teddy Rivera demonstrated genuine care and empathy. The personal touch and consideration for my specific needs and concerns set him apart from other professionals I have worked with in the past.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Teddy Rivera to anyone seeking legal assistance. He is not just a lawyer; he is a true advocate for his clients, dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes. Thank you, Mr. Teddy Rivera , for your outstanding service and for making a challenging process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Mrs. Johnson was the second lawyer I contacted regarding my divorce. She had me won over within the first 10 mins of our meeting. Her combination of legal excellence, compassion and positive energy was EXACTLY what I needed in a very dark time. If needed she will absolute run circles around all other attorney's. However, she also understands the financial constraints during a divorce and at no point did I ever feel she was out to make money. She truly cares about her clients and it is reflected in her rock solid work. Her legal assistant Yomary is awesome as well and promptly answered all my questions.
I can't recommend them enough. Hire without delay to give you peace of mind that you have the best team on your side.

I can honestly not say enough good things about Katherine and her assistant. To say it lightly, I had one heck of a divorce; my first attorney dropped the ball multiple times, so I stepped up to the big leagues and started working with Mrs Johnson. From the start, the level of professionalism and talent was off the charts. Throughout my entire ordeal, Mrs Johnson and her assistant kept me well informed and fought incredibly hard to get me to the finish line. They were ready and prepared for every bump and twist in my journey and really took care of everything. I could not be more pleased with the level of service that they provided.
If you are looking for an experienced, professional, attorney who will fight for you, look no further.

There is a New Generation of Family Law Experts in NE Florida and Christie Guerrero is leading the Pack. I don’t want to draw comparisons, so I will say Christie is establishing the Best Practice and format for the law, TODAY. So much has changed in this area, leaving gaps for both interpretation and leverage. I benefited greatly in a Contested case because of my Counsel’s Outstanding research ability and aggressive approach. We knew what the opportunities were in advance and succeeded with Christie’s rock-solid direction. Her automations for appointment scheduling and communications help reduce unnecessary touches- just a Bonus on top.

I told David I needed something in place in the event of my death regarding my personal household, business and child. He knew exactly what I needed - nothing more, nothing less which was a Last Will, Living Will and Preneed Guardianship. His level of sincerity, honesty and professionalism was beyond what I expected from an attorney as I have never worked with one before. His level of exertise is superior and I highly recommend him!!!

I interviewed a few attorneys to assist with my divorce. I’m very happy with my selection of Mr. Bulger. He handled my case efficiently and kept my best interests in the forefront. He kept me informed if any changes and pushed for a quick resolution. Also, very professional at all times. I would highly recommend him to others.

I was going through a hard divorce and custody battle felt defeated at times but luckily I found Dustin scheduled a consultation. After speaking with him I knew I picked the right attorney. He really cares about his clients and actually listen to your needs. I have went through other attorneys and felt like just another case. My case was tough but he fought through it. Went up and beyond to help me get custody of my daughter an I'm so grateful. Recieved more than I expected in my case and I'm so happy! His fees are fair but he will still work within your budget. Thank you for everything Dustin!

Very professional but compassionate. Efficient, prompt, dedicated, not just him but his entire team. After an experience with a previous attorney, Mr. Treece changed my perspective and it was a fabulous experience. And even though the time I was going through was not the best, Mr. Treece and his team made everything easier. They sincerely made me feel that for them, I was not just another case, but they took care of me in every detail, not only providing me with information but even beyond that, they gave me all the support.
Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Treece and your entire team, for all your support, integrity and professionalism (But the way, a judge was the one who recommended you to me, that says it all).
Muy profesional pero compasivo. Eficaz, rápido, dedicado, no sólo él sino todo su equipo. Después de una experiencia con un abogado anterior, el Sr. Treece cambió mi perspectiva y fue una experiencia fabulosa. Y aunque el momento por el que estaba pasando no era el mejor, el Sr. Treece y su equipo hicieron que todo fuera más fácil. Sinceramente me hicieron sentir que para ellos, yo no era un caso más, sino que me cuidaron en cada detalle, no sólo proporcionándome información sino incluso más allá, me dieron todo el apoyo.
Gracias Sr. y Sra. Treece y a todo su equipo, por todo su apoyo, integridad y profesionalidad (Por cierto, un juez fue quien me los recomendó, eso lo dice todo).

We were referred to this lawyer by a previous Duval county (Florida) judge after the separation of the unwed parents of a child with the indication that the mother might leave the state with the child and will not return. Florida law does not grant legal rights to an unwed father until paternity, time-sharing and shared responsibilities are established in court.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the result of this temporary hearing, giving credit to Debra and Thomas Treece. We are still waiting for the final hearing and hope that the Treece law team will continue to represent us fairly and honestly.
The Treece law team does not shoot for bashing the opposite party. From the beginning on, it was clear that they want a fair and honest outcome with no lies and only honesty. The reason to seek help was to fairly establish legal rights for the father and do all we can to benefit the child. The Treece law team maintained to fairly reach an agreement and asked for the continuation of the child's primary parent, which is tough to establish if it is the father who performed most parental responsibilities.
One "thing" I would like to mention is that I wish that the Treece law team would be more readily available when the father has an IMMEDIATE legal question, due to the mother using unfair tactics, lies and accusations that are unwarranted. I would love to at times receive a quick, brief legal advise right then and there, though acknowledge that we are not their only clients.
If you are looking for an aggressive lawyer to bash your opponent, keep looking. If you are looking for an aggressive FAIR lawyer, "fighting" for what is the honest truth and the best for the child, you found a calm legal team working for you.

Once my daughter received an order from the court, my daughter interviewed with many other attorneys. They would only allow her to talk with them. Upon meeting Mrs. Treece, I felt an immediate connection to her and Mr. Treece. In my opinion, they are like family to us. They are very approachable as well as professional. My daughter who is a new attorney herself knew this case needed experienced attorneys that would give her their best efforts. According to my daughter at trial, they did just that. Their entire staff has been amazing. I am very thankful for everything they have done and continue to do for my daughter and granddaughter!!!

Keanna handled my divorce and was beyond helpful throughout the process. She fought back against miscalculations made by my ex and her attorney, and saved me nearly $4,000 in back child support that wasn't owed! If I would definitely recommend Keanna for any family law issue you might have.

Christopher helped me with my paternity case. This case was riddled with uncertainty that required a lot of patience with my case. Christopher also ensured I understood the next step in this process and really took his time to answer all of my questions. He is very knowledgeable and calculated. He took care of all of the headaches and went above in beyond. I would recommend retaining Chris 100x.

Searching for a divorce attorney is an overwhelming task. It is very hard to trust your family with just anyone especially when divorce and child custody are at hand. On top of that, I was in a same-sex marriage. Finding an attorney who knew the specifics of the updated laws proved itself stressful. I interviewed several attorneys before deciding who would represent me. Words cannot describe how grateful I am to have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Jenna Houser. During the free consultation, I immediately connected with Jenna. Having the opportunity to talk face-to-face with her during the consultation gave me the opportunity to realize her level of competency and how she intended to handle my case. Jenna is thorough, detail oriented, and very compassionate. She was honest, always telling me the truth about my case, good and bad. She is very personable and always displayed the utmost professionalism and diligence. Jenna took the time to educate me on the divorce process and next steps when needed. She prepared me for every aspect of my case. She responded to my emails and phone calls right away and updated me every step of the way. She always addressed my concerns clearly and compassionately. Jenna made it easier to relax and allow her to work hard for me because she was always prepared and equipped with the latest knowledge on all aspects surrounding my case. During the course of the case I moved 900 miles away from the court. Jenna didn’t stress or miss a beat. She was creative and always had means for me to communicate with the court so I did not have to travel back and forth.

Jenna took the time and listened to what I wanted in my divorce settlement, as mine was an unusual one. She followed through and was there for me every step of the way. I would personally recommend Jenna’s firm to anyone that is going through a divorce, whether it is simple or very difficult, she can handle the task at hand.

I want to thank God that we found Cindi ! When things look grim and hopeless for my daughter and children I believe we were guided to Cindi. The previous lawyer my daughter had was useless and kept telling her she had to keep going back into a home that was dangerous for her and our grandchildren because of domestic violence.
Within days of hiring Cindi things started to change for the better. She proved to the court that our daughter and grandchildren needed protection from the domestic violence. We could finally breathe knowing that they were safe for now. Cindi is not only a amazing attorney but a caring and compassionate person. She makes you feel like family and someone you knew all your life. She gives her all to her clients and is worth every penny she makes. If you want the best divorce attorney out there look no further. We're still in the process and can rest easy knowing she's fighting for us!!

Cindi is a true advocate for her clients. She was contacted during a time of despair and even though she was skeptical at first of our concerns….she listened to us and sat down to go over our case. We had previously had a well known attorney out of Jacksonville. Unfortunately, he did not take the time to listen to us nor fight for what we knew could not be afforded. Cindi ended up locating the egregious mathematical errors that had resulted in the judge awarding the other party an outrageous monthly alimony payment (an alimony payment that was unable to be made due to other bills and obligations). She fought for what could be afforded…..which was no alimony….and she delivered! It’s been an extended, prolonged battle but in the end the outcome is much better than we could have ever anticipated!! Cindi is incredibly knowledgeable about the law and sets realistic expectations for what the judge is likely to award. She does not make empty promises. Her prices are also incredibly reasonable and if I’m being honest, she should raise her fees. Cindi’s rates are fair and she remains conscientious of her client’s budget (unlike many other attorneys out there who will bill you for every little thing and take unnecessary and unproductive steps just in order to create billable hours). Cindi also always keeps the childrens’ best interest at heart. She is genuinely compassionate about her job and you tell how much she loves family law with the effort that she puts in! I cannot recommend her enough! She has held our hand through this process and even though I know we are her client….I consider her a friend. We will be turning to her as the years go by any time legal assistance is needed!

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.
