Professional. Compassionate. Personal. All of these qualities define our experience with Rachel this past year as she helped walk us through probate and estate management.

Dean Ryan handled my bankruptcy smoothly and without any problems. During the free consultation he explained the bankruptcy process and all my options. I have to say he was very organized as we went through all the allowances and paperwork. There were no problems and the bankruptcy went through without a hitch. A year later, I was sued by a previous landlord for past rent because I forgot to list them on the bankruptcy. Dean took care of it immediately and this debt was discharged too. If you want an attorney who is not only friendly and understanding, but dedicated and professional, then I recommend Dean Ryan highly!

I have used Ms. Crozier for 2 years now on a few different cases. I have never been so pleased with an attorney before. Ms. Crozier is very knowledgeable in many different areas. She is very honest, and speaks with a clear, fair mind. I have referred friends and family to her, and everyone speaks very highly of her. We always hope that we will never need an attorney for any reason in life, but if you do need one at some point, I highly suggest giving her the case. As far as I'm concerned, she is the best attorney in the midwest.

Sarah was able to pick my case up in only 1 day and represent the next. I had just been served papers as defendant for the case taking place in two days. Sarah became very familiar with the case, came prepared to fight, and was able to save us a ridiculous amount of time and money by talking sense into the petitioner about what exactly would happen if they proceeded. 10/10. Hopefully I don’t need her again, but if something happens, she’s my first call.

He has been my attorney for several years now, seeing me through several cases providing excellent advice, service, and results on all cases. As far as I am concerned he will remain my attorney of choice for all of my legal needs within his scope of counsel. I couldn't have asked for a more upright, straitforward, respectable, and knowledgable attorney. He is a wonderful person to have as legal counsel who has handled my complex Divorce, Child Custody, and Bancruptcy. I look forward to working with him on estate planing needs.

With everything that was taken from me in an abusive marriage and all that was attempted in a prior custody battle, he came through... with intelligence, heart, toughness, and a type of resolve that isn't common among his professional peers.
He does it out of the kindness of his heart through Legal Services and according to his internal moral compass. If he were to go into private practice, he would quickly gain the type of wealth that matches his ability. But there are those of us who benefit during the time being, the disenfranchised, railroaded, and/or abused, whom he saves the day for.
He is a champion for children above all else. My boys owe their security, comfort, and happiness to Paul Shipp and I owe him a debt of gratitude for it I can never repay. He is humorous and down to earth... knows his business and looks out for his clients even if it means having to sternly realign them.
You are lucky if you ever get him in your corner.

Mr. Prophet did a fantastic job in working with us. He took the time to get us in quickly, listen to and address our concerns, and gave knowledgeable, valuable feedback. He is a great person who cares about his client's lives and therefore provides the best advice and courses of action. He was extremely knowledgeable about the laws and how things work in the real world, which adds a high end value to his general understanding of situations and courses of action to be taken or sought. He is well worth your time for your best results.

Aaron went above and beyond to help me in my time of need. Aaron was a former classmate of mine who responded to a panic posting that I placed on my facebook the day my ex husband took my son. Having not spoken to him in years- he still gave up his entire weekend along with his partner to help me to get my son back. He also came to my aid on another occasion. He is dedicated, loyal, hard working and an all around amazing person. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Michael Wallace was hired to help with my daughter's legal
needs, and he has proved to be knowledgeable, professional, &
very caring. Most recently he worked with the court system to
have my daughter released from jail (she was there because of
breaking probation). This was not an easy case, and Mr. Wallace
worked very hard to ensure a good outcome. We are extremely
pleased with his help, and very grateful for everything he has done
(and continues to do) for my daughter.

I watched a week long second-degree murder trial wherein Counselor Pittman defended his client zealously, vigorously and methodically. It was even more impressive when the jury, in essence, acquitted the defendant, as the verdict came back deadlocked. If I ever commit another felony and get charged with the same, I guarantee you that Counselor Pittman is who I want representing me when I have my day in court.

Mr. Klenda has been my attorney from 2006 to present. He walked me through some rough times in my life. We had to go to a trial this last time. He went above what I ever expected to prepare for it. He shoots strait and tells you how it is. I would hate to not have him on my side.

Lindsay impressed me from the first meeting. That day I was in a difficult situation and nerves were raw. But her warmth and humorous demeanor helped me keep my head straight, which set the tone for the whole process over the next few months. Mine was an unusual case that required Lindsay to research real estate law. When she crossed the limits of her own expertise she was able to admit as such and reach out to colleagues for answers. She allayed my own fears by encouraging me to recognize the value of taking the "high road" and treating everybody involved with dignity. In conclusion, I appreciated Lindsay's calm,
diligent, and meticulous manner in the face of some sketchy and unpredictable twists and turns.

I have recommended Trent Besse on several occasions. He has helped me settle 2 workmen's comp cases, as well as one for my son. I like the way he keeps me informed with the progress of the case. He knows the law and makes solid recommendations to me. I am agreeable with the settlements he gets for me. I will call him again, in a heart beat.

I can't recommend Scott enough! He is a good communicator and expedient - he's quick to respond to emails and quick to get things done. He won't drag out your case any longer than it needs to take. He is to-the-point, direct, very knowledgeable and experienced. He's worked with the judges and mediators in this area for a long time and he knows what is reasonable and not reasonable in negotiations. He is also a good negotiator. I would highly recommend Scott Kreamer is you are going through a divorce.

I had a very difficult case involving divorce, full custody of both my boys and a move halfway across country. The odds were against me. David Hawley was the 3rd atty I called and by far the best. He was confident, honest and made me feel like I knew him my whole life. In 6 months time we accomplished all my goals! I have full custody of my sons, live in the PNW again, where my family is, and (if my bonehead ex can keep a job) a fair amt of child support. He was always responsive timely, aggressive when needed, knowledgeable and helped guide me to the right decisions. Highly recommend David Hawley for your family law needs!

Chris Finney of Bond Legal Group was incredibly helpful in handling my car accident case. From the moment I contacted him, he demonstrated professionalism, dedication, and a deep understanding of personal injury law. He carefully explained the legal process and guided me through each step, ensuring I was well-informed and comfortable with every decision. Chris was also highly responsive, always available to answer my questions and provide updates on the case. His negotiation skills were top-notch, and he worked tirelessly to secure a fair settlement that covered my medical expenses and damages. I felt genuinely supported throughout the entire process, and I highly recommend Chris Finney for anyone in need of a skilled car accident attorney.

These are some of the biggest crooks you'll ever come across. Steer clear! They deserve a ZERO rating because the only thing they are good for is generating random bills that are presented out of the blue...no service provided. I agreed to pay the $3,000 legal fees for my daughter in JUN 22. I received another bill in DEC for almost $245 and paid that. My daughter hasn't received squat for service since 2022... no contact in all of 2023 and now, in JUN of 2024 she and I received a bill... again NO EXPLANATION OF CHARGES... just a payment link for almost $821. JURIS LLC NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. I requested a zero balance receipt and acknowledgement that their services are no longer needed and this to close that account immediately!

I hired Kelli in July of 2024. I explained to her what I wanted and she always let me know what my options were and gave me things to think about that I hadn't considered. She kept me call and in the loop at every turn. She got me what I wanted and what I deserved. I am thankful I had her on my side during one of the toughest times in my life. I would recommend her in a second. My divorce was finalized in 3 months.

We retained Jessica Sokoloff for help with a case. Being new to the legal process, I was nervous about what to expect. Jessica provided a lot of information about what was going to happen and what the next steps were which helped ease my mind. Communication was great throughout the process and the outcome of the case was far better than expected.

I was a nervous wreck when I called Sarah Carmody's office. I had just been served divorce papers and other than a speeding ticket I had no experience with working with a lawyer. Attorney Carmody and her staff helped me feel at ease and explained the divorce process and fee schedule very well. I appreciated that Ms. Carmody helped to keep the proceedings on the "high road" and also that she helped me to laugh when the situation called for it. Ms. Carmody and her staff were very efficient and were able to help reach a settlement quickly. I appreciated her honesty and humor throughout the proceedings. I would definitely recommend Sarah Carmody Law, LLC when you need a divorce attorney.

I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone going through a divorce or custody case. I used her services a few years ago for my divorce and again more recently for my custody modification. She is highly knowledgeable about the process, deals in facts, and was able to help us find a resolution that was the best course of action for my son. Sarah did a spectacular job of offering feedback and keeping the lines of communication open. I trust her 100% and would recommend her to anyone, without reservation.

I was charged with DUI by Overland Park Cops. I failed elements of the field sobriety test that were unfairly administered. This firm worked carefully with me and defended me successfully It is now over in a few months. I have no consequences except paying there reasonable fee that was far less than some other firms. They reviewed the evidence with Overland Park Prosecutors and persuaded them to dismiss the charges. They deserve my 5 stars

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.
