Speaking as a colleague of the lawyers at the Springer Law Firm within the greater Harris County and Fort Bend County legal communities and as a client of the firm regarding estate planning matters, I have nothing but good things to say. Both in working together on matters of mutual interest for our respective clients and in observing the care put into their planning advice and supporting documents prepared for my family, I have observed great attention to detail, focus on achieving the client's goals, and proactive planning to ensure that the client's interests are protected in the future, as well as in the present. Importantly, I have found that the firm's lawyers are practical and willing to provide the "bottom line" about how things may or may not work out.

Ms Zara Ali is an outstanding lawyer. She helped me navigate through the painful process of a nasty divorce. She gave me the right advice, not necessarily the one I wanted to hear. In the end her advice not to pursue a costly, time consuming and emotionally exhausting litigation proved to have been what the doctor ordered. The divorce is over and I am free like a bird. The best part is that I received a substantial amount of the retainer fee back! Thank you Ms Ali. I will definitely refer my friends and family to you. 🙏🙏🙏

Zara is the best attorney I've ever had, and she knew what options would be better for me at the moment. She was very calm in communicating with the other side and was able to find the unusual points in their words and helped me to protect my rights. She didn't expect us to pay more than the usual lawyers, but wanted us to resolve the issues and conflicts the way we wanted. Highly recommended, the best thing that ever happened to me was hiring Zara to help me with my lawsuit.

Though I only required the free consultation, I will not hesitate to hire her should I ever need representation. She was very detailed and took the time to answer and address all of my concerns! If there are other fathers requiring advice or representation regarding custody/family law, definitely reach out to Tracy!

I came to Mary Beth with a high conflict, child custody case. After initially, dealing with another lawfirm to represent me, who was incompetent and didn’t take the time to fully read the abundant documentation that I had, it was truly a blessing that I was referred to Mary Beth and the Goodnight Law Firm. From that point of my case and forward, the communication was ample, and they made sure that I knew what was going on and where we were at throughout the case. I’m giving 5 stars, and to be honest, I would give 10 if I could, because of not only Mary Beth‘s tenacity and legal aptitude, but because, she fights for her clients and for what is right and just. With her legal guidance and the amazing support of Faith and Randi, my children and family are protected from further abusive situations with their biological parent. This case was no “walk in the park”, nor was the opposing counsel operating with the goal to seek positive reconciliation for the children. Nonetheless, Mary Beth didn’t back down. I highly recommend Goodnight Law Firm; your legal representation matters, and Mary Beth is who I’d want in my corner.

I had the pleasure of hiring R. Melissa Masoom from Hunt Law Firm as my divorce attorney and overall had a pleasant experience. Melissa was always thorough and explained the process from beginning to end so that I knew exactly what to expect. When my case took a turn (became contested) Melissa handled everything very professionally and reassured me that everything would work out, which it did. I loved the online portal which allowed me to submit all documentation online, this was very convenient. The paralegals on their team were fantastic as well, very prompt and helpful. I would strongly recommend this firm.

Travers and Travers literally brought our family together. We had a rather unique experience, but Travers & Travers helped us through it every step of the way. We live in South Dakota and needed a referral for a lawyer in Texas. My sister is an attorney and asked around and everyone we talked to suggested Travers and Travers. So we took a leap of faith and it paid off for us big time. My initial phone call was with Sherrie and she immediately made me feel at ease. Travers & Travers took our case head on and did not stop until we brought our daughter home. They were very professional, but were also very human and friendly- that was very important to me. Mack went with us to court and mediation and he was able to keep us calm while waiting in between everything. He was very well spoken and had good charisma in the court room. Allison and Annilee worked on the background information, researching and helping us gather the information we needed to win our case. Travers & Travers explained things to us in terms we could understand, they were willing and able to answer any questions we had and never made us feel like we were bothering them. They were also very willing to work with us on our ability to pay for their services. Travers and Travers worked on our case as a family so anytime we needed anything; someone was there to help out. When our case was finished, Travers & Travers were more than just our lawyers, they were friends. They all had our best interests at heart the entire time. I know most people’s situations will be different than ours, but if you want a lawyer that is truly looking out for you, I would highly recommend Travers & Travers. Their kindness and willing to work hard for us, brought our daughter home and we will forever be grateful for them.

I really love this lawyer. She’s flat out amazing. I was/am a dad that immediately felt like I’d be chugging uphill to gain custody of my child once divorce loomed. Fiza took the time to hear me, to look through the evidence I presented, and she was there EVERY step of the way. She was constantly a text or an email away. I looked at other attorneys prior to retaining Fiza. I’m glad that’s all I did. Fiza is an absolute rockstar! You won’t go wrong choosing Fiza to represent you!

Divorce lawyers wear many hats, legal rep, grief Counsler, therapist, all because divorce is possibly one of the worst experiences you can go through besides death. I went through all that and more. Fiza not only gave me superior legal representation but she gave me compassion, patience and emotional support that I don’t believe many lawyers are capable of. There were times I was in a panic with the drama of my divorce and I would just be an emotional hot mess. Fiza helped me through all of it. She went above and beyond to help me not only legally but as a human. She was there for me throughout it all, through my anxiety driven 2am texts, to my emotional breakdowns, through everything. Divorce is not easy but mine was the worst you can have. Fiza got me the settlement I needed, fought for me in court and got me through even though she had many other clients and cases, she was always there for me. I can’t recommend her enough.

Speaking as a colleague of the lawyers at the Springer Law Firm within the greater Harris County and Fort Bend County legal communities and as a client of the firm regarding estate planning matters, I have nothing but good things to say. Both in working together on matters of mutual interest for our respective clients and in observing the care put into their planning advice and supporting documents prepared for my family, I have observed great attention to detail, focus on achieving the client's goals, and proactive planning to ensure that the client's interests are protected in the future, as well as in the present. Importantly, I have found that the firm's lawyers are practical and willing to provide the "bottom line" about how things may or may not work out.

Kalen Malone presided over my brutal divorce with my ex-wife. We spent a year fighting it, and she defended me every step of the way. I am grateful for how organized she was and how she was able to get stuff done, even more so than my ex-wifes attorney. I have the highest regards for her and would definitely recommend her for any legal issues.

Emma was referred to me when I was filing for divorce. What I noticed immediately was that she was honest and to the point but delicate at the same time. She was very aware that this was a situation that called for compassion but I knew that she was going to fight for my Son and I. She kept me informed and if and when I needed her she was there. She did a great job at making the divorce as "easy" for me as possible. We went in front of the judge within six months of filing and my divorce was granted. She was there every step of the way making sure I was okay.

My wife and I hired Mrs. Haw to make out our wills. Her rates were clearly published on her website and everything was very straightforward. She had us complete a comprehensive information form covering what we wanted done in the event of our demise, and then she constructed all of the documents. We then met with her again to go over all of the documents and she explained, in plain English, what everything was, what it said, and what it meant. This also included durable powers of attorney and medical directives in the event of our incapacitation as well. She was very thorough and professional in our dealings.

I can’t say enough about Kelly Rizzo! She has a burning passion for family law and it shows when you talk to her. She is straightforward and very knowledgeable in her area of expertise. EVERYTHING that she predicted in my case came true. Her experience has given her the ability to strategically format a game plan that works for you and your family. She does a great job of explaining everything to you and she is super transparent. You will know what she is thinking at all times, she will ask for your feedback and she will not make a move without getting your authorization first. All your documents, emails, and invoices are accessible for your convenience online through the Mycase portal. This lady is a true powerhouse and has the support of the entire Hunts Law Firm if she should ever need some backup. I would not want to be the petitioner/respondent sitting across from Kelly Rizzo! To sum it up you won't find a more morally ethical, transparent attorney that will gain 100% of your trust. An attorney that not only has yours but also your families best interest engrained in her every thought pertaining to your case.

While no one wants to have to hire a family law attorney unfortunately sometimes it is necessary. If you find yourself in the position of needing a family law attorney I HIGHLY recommend Kelly Rizzo. I hired her back in December of 2016 for a custody dispute with my ex husband. She was absolutely amazing. Kelly was on top of everything at every turn. She always clearly explained my options to me before we proceeded with anything. The billing was fair and always very well documented. If I had any sort of question I could ask her through the online portal or call and she always made sure to answer my questions very efficiently. When I had a question on a Friday night I was absolutely shocked and thrilled that she took the time to answer me that same night. I really had planned to be waiting until Monday morning for a response. I truly cannot say enough good things about Kelly Rizzo and the Hunt Law firm. Custody disputes can be very mentally and emotionally draining. Kelly made sure to make the process as easy to understand and navigate as humanly possible.

Kelly Rizzo wasn't the first lawyer I contacted but she was my first consult which ultimately led to my hiring her. Our time together was always well spent and coordinated with every detail taken into account to insure the best possible outcome in my divorce. She was tactful and strategic in her approach to my case, being kind enough to listen to my ideas while being honest and direct about how to resolve the issues at hand. Although things didn't go 100% in my favor I am assured that Kelly lead me down the path of least resistance with the greatest return on investment. Having no prior experience dealing with divorce lawyers or legal battles overall the past 6 months were made less turbulent by Kelly. Her balance of professionalism and amicability with me truly made the difference and inspired confidence and hope in her. She provided me with a binder and online tools to make sure that I was always able to communicate and upload necessary documents for my case. She guided me step by step through this arduous process facilitating even the most strenuous tasks including mediation. By the end of it all it was almost painful to relinquish Ms. Rizzo and her expertise, as if saying goodbye to a caring friend. Although I hope to never require her services for another divorce I wouldn't want anyone else in my corner fighting for me.

I first came to Robin when she was working at another Law Firm. She has helped me with divorce concerns, wills, trusts, property, and debtor harassment, to name a few, She has since formed her own firm and I have used her and her firm for almost ten years now, and have always been pleased with everyone at her firm I have had the pleasure to meet. They have always treated me like family (especially Robin) and highly recommend her and her whole firm for just about all your legal needs. If she or none of her attorneys can help you they will certainly know someone who can.

I was afraid to approach hiring a lawyer as I had never worked with one before. I spoke to a few others but upon my first conversation with Robin, I felt reassured and confident that my case would be taken care of. Any worries I had been losing sleep over were put to rest. I was treated like a friend/family member by every member of her office. I am forever grateful from my experience in working with Robin Sowell, involved associates, and the office staff. I absolutely recommend her services and those of her team without hesitation.

We highly recommend Heather and would not hesitate to use her again.

I was refrred to Ms. Bachman by my sister who used to work with her. I wasn't sure if I wanted to proceed with my divorce now but I wanted answers to many questions so that I could make an informed decision. I contacted Ms. Bachman and we made arrangements for a consulation. We spoke for quite a while. She was sympathetic and very kind during this trying time. She seemed very knowledgeable on the subject matter and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. I have contacted Ms. Bachman several times since our initial meeting with addition questions. She was always prompt in returning my call and pleasant to talk to. I was reluctant to contact a lawyer but since I got Ms. Bachman, I'm glad I did.

She treated my case as if it was her own, with every detail, while caring for me and my family, and I mean actually caring, she treated all of us as actual human beings, unlike other attorneys or even the judge. She will make every effort to win your case, and she will always advice you with your well being in mind. Not your average attorney. She has great attention to detail, just about when we thought we were gonna lose our case, she went back and found a small but very important detail that was missed by my previous 2 attorneys, it was even missed by the other side, it was great!! I recommend her to anyone I meet. Oh, and she speaks fluent Spanish, I think she speaks also Russian and other languages, she is very smart. She spoke to my parents in Spanish, and that made the whole difference to them, and to me. Well, that's how she also found very important information. Anyways, call her, it will be worth it, her advice is worth it. You will not regret it.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
