Mrs. Ondreiasak and Ms. Jennifer Williams were with me every step of the way for almost 4 years in the adoption of my son. They were extremely informative on the process. They showed kindness and compassion to the birth mom. We the time was ready for the adoption the were super quick on putting everything in motion and with the court, LSW and assisted our family through many phone calls and emails. I wish there were higher ratings because they went above and beyond. I highly recommend their services.

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.

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!!!

She reviewed each detail of my case, searched the challenges of the case through internet and gave me significant information. She responded lots of messages so quickly and sincerely, and she did not make me feel as if she tries for marketing anyway. She was more like a sincere and helpful friend with huge know-how on the area. I exactly recommend her at least for a consultation, then you will easily see truth of above statements.

Miss Maria is an angel sent by God for our family. She helped us step by step in our immigration case to become US residents. We had knocked on many doors, and they were closed. Made us loose our hope.She volunteered to take our case. She was very sincere with us. She treated us like family, not like clients. She was Very thoughtful with us. She didnt give us false hope. She would drive all the way to Orlando were our case took place. I would highly recommend her for any case. I am hiring her again for all my immigration work and i am very thankful for all that she has done for me and my family.

I have hired Summer Boyd to represent me in 2 divorces (7 years apart), and she has done a fantastic job in both cases. She has been very helpful in giving me great advice and helping to ensure that I get the best outcome. I am grateful for her reasonable flat fee pricing. I have recommended Summerto a friend and would do it again. She is a terrific lawyer who is both kind and smart. Nothing but respect and kudos for Summer and her staff—especially Mary. Thank you for the opportunity to rate her work.

What should have been a straightforward divorce case spiraled into a nearly 6-year legal nightmare for me. When I first met with my attorney, Summer, she was bluntly honest about the challenges I would face. The process was filled with obstacles and at times felt endless. Yet Summer never abandoned me, even during the toughest moments. She remained steadfast, guiding me through with unwavering professionalism, honesty, and compassion. I know I can always rely on Summer to be there for me when I need her most. I highly recommend Summer! Thank you, Summer!

Hands down the best lawyer ever. I was recommended to her when my son’s distant dad opened the can of worms for 50/50 custody and when I was told she is a shark they weren’t kidding. Without her I’m not sure we be where now. She fought not only my husband and I but fought for what was best for our son. Now here we are having my husband adopt our son. I could not thank her or pay her enough for all that she’s done. If you’re looking for the best of the best she’s the one! Promise you won’t leave her for anyone else!!

Woolsey Morcom operates an exceptional firm. The communication was perfect. The handling of my legal case was flawless. Things moved swiftly and the end result was the optimal outcome. I cannot say enough good things about this firm, and Jonathan Thacher specifically. He was prompt, very in-tune with legal process, articulate in the courtroom, and highly effective with driving towards a winning outcome for me. I would recommend no one else. My sincere thanks goes out to Mr. Thacher and the team at Woolsey Morcom.

Take you time and money elsewhere. I can’t fathom how this business has any good reviews. I hired this firm to take care of a criminal misdemeanor charge for me. They answered my call and took my money so fast but the second I needed guidance or assistance regarding my case they were no where to be found. I woke up to a text from my attorney at 4:30 in the morning the day I was supposed to appear in court with a warning that I would have a bench warrant out for my arrest if I did not show. During my case I went through two attorneys because the first one quit the firm due to being overworked and not aligning with the morals of the firm. He made me aware of the fact that I was charged $500 for paralegal fees when the firm doesn’t employ any paralegals. This was confirmed to be true by my second attorney. Both attorneys were verbal about their dislike for John Musca because of his scammy business practices. When I called over the phone to speak with the man who took my money and my case I couldn’t get through. Once again STAY AWAY! There are plenty of lawyers willing to take your money, do yourself a favor and give it to anyone except John Musca.

Dear Smith&Eulo Law
I wanted to express my gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Attorney Alexis Sykes during my recent legal matter. As a first-time client facing a challenging situation, Miss Sykes made the entire process as comfortable as possible. Her attention to detail, informative guidance, and excellent communication skills truly stood out. She walked me through every step, from the court appearance to the eventual dismissal of the case.
I cannot thank Miss Sykes enough for her outstanding professionalism and expertise. She is truly a credit to your firm.
Thank you once again.
Sincerely,
Vin Mazzeo

I would like to take the opportunity to thank Goggins Law. In particular, attorney Mrs Ashley Goggins for helping me to establish my paternal rights. Initially, I was intimidated by the idea of litigation. I didn’t believe that I could “win.” Well…in my opinion…I did!!! Attorney Goggins’ knowledge, experience, and compassion helped me realize that I deserved better; that I am entitled to be a part of my child’s life; and for more than a check. As a result of Attorney Goggins professional commitment and support, I was awarded equal time sharing with my son. I cannot thank her enough for what she did. She fought for me when I was unsure of how to fight for myself. That feeling can be crippling. Fortunately, I had someone like Attorney Goggins. She helped to draw clean clear lines around a picture that was out of focus. I made the right choice with Attorney Goggins. On behalf of my son and myself, I am forever grateful. Thank you!!!

If you want the best, hire the DeVries Law Firm for your bankruptcy. My chapter 7 bankruptcy case was a complicated one but they made it happen. Most importantly, they accept payment plans unlike others that want the fees upfront. If you are in the military in the Jacksonville area and you are considering bankruptcy, look no further than this firm. Not all law firms understand the Haven Act and it is extremely important that you hire only someone who does like the DeVries Law Firm. They get my strongest possible recommendation. Special thank you to Bona for his hard work and dedication. I really appreciate all your help.

The DeVries Law Firm was recommended to me by a trusted financial advisor and she has been 100% dead on. They are a very thorough, patient and efficient team that took the time to learn about me and my need before doing anything, all as part of the welcome discussion. I have spoken with three different folks and each time, i felt i was speaking to one person, thats how attentive they are to my case. I also have a unique element that i shared which could drive unnecessary cost by the other side and they have been laser focused on giving me great representation while managing the risk. Extremely satisfied so far!!!!!!!

Requested to make an appointment with Mr.Devries regarding an attorney on his staff when speaking to Rene she told me he had 2 Appointments for Wednesday December 10th when Mr. Devries found out who was on the phone Rene the receptionist came back on the line and told me that he could not make an appointment with me until January 14. I have a disabled son that was seeking services for a divorce. The attorney that was representing him under Mr. de rise never communicated with us. We cannot find no records of him filing any claims with Duval county courts I wish this matter can be addressed in a professional manner, my son is disabled. He is on a fixed income. He gave this firm $2500 and they did not do anything for him. We cannot find any records that have been filed with Duvall County courts. We had to seek services from another attorney. now Mr. DeVries does not want to see us until January 14 his secretary Renee said that he’s got a conference all week. He’s got clients all the next week. He’s got clients the first two weeks of January. The soonest he can see us is January 14 in the meantime, my son is suffering. He cannot get no help from this firm, but they still took his money. I went thru a program called ARAG the recommended Mr Devries instead Another attorney named Josh handled it
He does not work Fridays . If we came into the office they would have to charge us. We had to go to the UPS store print the forms then I had to take pictures with my phone and send them to Nelly. How professional is this? It was very complicated. I would not advise using this firm. I am seeking professional help to get this matter resolved the firm took my son $2500. We have nothing to show for it and Mr. DeVries will not see us until January 14 of 2025. He knows all about the matter. That is why he will not see my disabled son .

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.

I have worked with Mr. Willmott on three separate occasions, once in 2020, then again twice in 2024. Family law cases are very stressful and anxiety provoking, as they certainly were in my cases. However, Mr. Willmott was able to lead me through, with his knowledge, professionalism, skill, attention to detail, and promptness. He always answered emails and phone calls quickly, and always had answers to my questions. His experience and confidence helped ease my anxiety through my cases each time. Each case I had was different, and he was always very prepared and ready to fight for me. Choosing a family attorney is one of the most important things you can do to protect yourself and your children, and it can be very challenging to find the right one. It became very clear, very quickly, that I made the right decision in hiring Mr. Willmott. Mr. Willmott is excellent at what he does, and I highly recommend him for anyone in need of a family attorney.

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!

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.

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.

It's very clear that he cares about me and my situation, which made all the difference in the world when dealing with the emotional stresses of my case. He also understands how foreign the court systems procedures are for someone like me who didn't learn about them and he really has a knack for explaining those things with absolute clarity. I would 100% recommend him.

Josef is a highly skilled and gifted attorney. He is extremely responsive to phone calls and emails, and he works very hard to get the results we needed without running up unnecessary attorney fees. Josef was able to secure an award of attorneys fees for us and we could not be happier! Josef is so so so nice, friendly, and well-mannered, but aggressive in the courtroom, which is what we needed. Highly recommend!

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 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!!

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.

- 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.

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.
