I recently used the services of Attorney Larry Lavigne and I cannot say more about his professionalism. He explained clearly his services and took the time to talk with me. Anytime I had a question or concern he always responded quickly and had the answers. My case was settled exactly as he explained and for the agreed amount. I highly recommend Attorney Larry Lavigne to anyone who is seeking legal advice, and his fees are very reasonable.

I was pulled over in KCMO for 11mph over the speed limit I called a couple of attorneys and Larry, Larry was very outgoing and professional he explained to me the process of getting it reduced to a non moving violation told me his rate which was very affordable and contacted me later advising me it was done and what steps were required on my end. During this procedure I had gotten a promotion and had Larry and his office not called me I would have forgotten about the ticket fine. He was able to get an extension and at the conclusion of this I let Larry know he would be my first call from now and and would definitely recommend him to anyone needing his services. Thank you Again Larry it was a privilege to work with you

When I hired the #1 lawyer in KC, I had certain expectations in mind. But Ms. Hale Robinson EXCEEDED these expectations. She helped me with a divorce in getting outcomes I never thought possible. She's also currently helping me with a car accident case I suffered. Will continue to use Suzanne in any situation I need help in!

There is a reason Suzanne was voted the best in KC. She did an excellent job in my custody case. While it was stressful in nature, Suzanne was efficient, resourceful and persuasive. We were very happy with our results and her knowledge. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend people to her regularly.

David and his team of professionals are simply the best.. I went into my personal injury case with no knowledge of what to do or where to go and was advised to see David by my boss who has years of experience with him. I was delighted when our first meeting went great. He is extremely professional as well as friendly and truly wants to help people out. I can not say enough good things about him. From keeping me informed every step of the way, to just giving me good advice on how to proceed. David truly had mine and my family’s best interest at heart. I hope I never go through what I did again, but if I do, I will absolutely be giving my business to Stout Law Firm.

I am very impressed by Mike's professionalism as well ability to quickly understand a situation. To Mike you are not a file folder number or that one case tomorrow afternoon - but he actually knows your name and will follow-up with you to be sure you do not have any questions or concerns. His ability to diffuse a situation and connect you with the right people is more than what others offered me.

We hired Andy to represent us in our child custody modification case. As with any family law case, emotions run high but he was our rock and voice of reason. He kept our eyes on the longterm goal when our perspective was clouded by anger, fear, and grief. His in-depth legal knowledge and tireless work gave us an indescribable peace and assurance during a time where everything felt as if it were teetering on a knife edge.
We could not have prayed for a more compassionate and hardworking lawyer than Andy. He was patient with us, spending countless hours with us on the phone and giving assurance when our case reached a fever pitch. He fought by our side until the very end.
As with family law, no outcome is guaranteed but I can say with complete honesty that, even if our case had not ended in our child's favor, we would have still been proud to have him by our side. He is a formidable lawyer, a powerful ally, and a trusted friend.

Chad O'Neill has represented both myself and my husband. From the very beginning, they are extremely good listeners. They do not simply give orders and try to get you in and out quick. They spent a lot of time with us personally, and working on our cases. Everything they did had significant purpose; they did nothing that seemed to be a waste of our time or money. Every task was accomplished far faster than expected. Going in to court, our attorney was very professional and handled our cases very well. In the end, my husband and I were extremely happy with the outcomes. To be honest, we cannot recall anything we were unhappy with. While we hope to never need their services again in the future, if we do end up with a need, we feel confident that we will be well taken care of with The Flynn Law Firm.

Christina Miller is a wonderful attorney and person. She really makes you feel comfortable in what can be a very uncomfortable/emotional situation. She really knows her stuff and is great at advocating for her client. I used her toward the end of my journey as a surrogate and wish I would have used her from the start. I will for sure be calling her if I ever need a reproductive family law attorney again. I cannot recommend her enough.

I want to thank Steven Garcia for helping me a couple of days ago. I received a speeding ticket in KC last July and engaged another law firm to assist with it. This firm never returned my calls nor responded to my emails requesting an update on the ticket, so I called this law firm prepared to pay another fee for assistance. Steven was so kind to look up my ticket and provide me with information about my ticket to help resolve the concerns I had. I appreciate his kindness and the great customer service extended to me even though I was not a client of theirs. Although I hope to never have a need to seek counsel in the KC area, if I do, this firm will certainly be the law firm that I engage.

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.
