Michele LoBello (and her entire team) are incredible. I first started working with her in 2020 during a stressful divorce and unique custody dispute. She treats clients with the utmost care, concern and compassion. Her and her team always have you and your children’s best interest at heart. She helped my entire family navigate an extremely difficult time and went above and beyond. This led to settling the divorce in a much faster timeframe than originally anticipated. I will forever be grateful for her knowledge and expertise!!

Mr.brown what can I say about this MAN? He is a man of his word, he looked me in my eyes and said I’m going to do everything in my power to help you. And he did. Back story, I’m a 2 time convicted felon from chicago. I came to vegas and got picked up on gun charge, with my back ground I should have went to the feds or been offered 5-10 years. Mr.Brown got the hole case dropped. Hold on I’m not done yet. The state picks it back up a year later. Mr.Brown calls me he says don’t worry I got you. Two weeks go past and Mr.Brown calls me and says the state said pay a fine and stay out of trouble. Mr.Brown not only frought for me, he checked on me to make sure I was staying positive and on the right path. He believed in me and still does. Thank you for all your hard work and your support. My family owes you.

Waste of time and money! Not responding to calls or emails! Took 6 months to file a SINGLE MOTION that used up the entirety of the retainer ($2500) and withdrew right away. Took another 6 months to finally come up with a billing history that made absolutely NO sense. Stay away at all costs!

I had been thoroughly deceived by a shady group that took $63,000 from me in exchange for an "investment" that promised high returns. When that never materialized, I realized I had been scammed. No one else was willing to help me get my money back, as they all said that it was nearly impossible to hold scammers accountable. I contacted Andrew Dunning at LBC Law Group, and he was quick to respond and set up an initial call with me. His warm and non-judgemental attitude toward me and the situation I was in instantly raised my spirits, and he gave me hope that we had a strong case against them and would do everything he could to get my money back. True to his word, Andrew immediately gathered my evidence and got the case going. He even gave me a reduced hourly rate as he knew I was already in dire financial straights and couldn't afford much more. Amazingly, the scammers agreed to our demand request and eventually returned ALL my money. To say that I was stunned, relieved, and ecstatic about the outcome would be an understatement. I simply can't recommend LBC Law Group and Andrew Dunning more highly. Incredibly professional, kind, and hard-working, he literally saved me and my family's financial life. This scam would have completely ruined us but now we have been given a second chance due to Andrew's tenacious help.

LBC Law Group was the most helpful after my car was hit at a stoplight. Not ever having been in this situation before and needing some guidance, LBC Law Group, with their compassion and professionalism, took the lead. With constant communication and accessibility, I did not have to worry about the process as I knew my case was in great hands. Christopher and the rest of the LBC Team was exceptional and kind. If you’re needing guidance and help from a law firm, I would recommend LBC Law Group over and over again.

When I was injured in a car accident, I was lost and unsure of what to do. The only thing I knew, was I was injured and I needed someone the insurance company would take seriously when handling my case. Marathon Law Group was a beacon of hope. Joe guided me through the entire process, from the initial consultation to the final settlement. This is a law firm you actually speak to when you call - you speak to your attorney, not just staff. Attorneys care, attorneys answer, and attorneys know what they're doing to not only help you heal but get compensation.. Their team was incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate. MLG explained everything clearly and answered all my questions patiently. They handled all the paperwork and negotiations with the insurance company, saving me a lot of stress and time. Thanks to their hard work, I was able to focus on my recovery without worrying about legal matters. I highly recommend Marathon Law Group but specifically Mr. Joe Riccio to anyone who needs a dedicated and experienced personal injury attorney.

I cannot express enough gratitude towards Joe Riccio and Marathon Law Group for their exceptional representation. After being involved in a second car accident, my insurance company initially refused to provide any compensation by trying to connect my injuries to my previous accident. Joe and his team stepped in and used their extensive resources to fight for my rights. Their dedication and commitment to my case were evident throughout the entire process. I always felt that my needs were understood and prioritized when seeking advice and representation. Having them in my corner for the second time was a true blessing. I highly recommend Joe Riccio and his firm to anyone in need of reliable and compassionate legal support.

I originally hired legal counsel online who ended up joining the Robinson team. I was handling my case from out of state which made my particular situation a challenging one. Amber stepped in personally once she realized the nature of my specific circumstances. Due to the lack of communication from the opposing party, my divorce dragged on for over a year, even though the judge verbally expressed how simple it should have been. All that said, Amber and her team remained vigilant and committed to reaching an amicable agreement. Although it was a painful season of my family’s life, I was overjoyed with the final outcome. The price was very fair and considering the extra effort, it was worth every penny spent. Thank you Amber for helping me and my kids with one of the most difficult times we have faced thus far! We are eternally grateful

I initially filed a motion to modify custody by myself after my sons mother re located out of state. Once I received a response and found out that his mother would be filing to request the court to relocate my son to live with her I knew I needed to seek legal assistance and an attorney for myself. Ifound Amber and her team via google and hired them to help on my custody case fighting for my son. As a man fighting to keep my son, which can get very emotional, Amber showed professionalism and empathy for me and was able to take any worries out of the situation. Over the course of about 10 months Amber was always very responsive and kept on top of all correspondence. I felt like I could contact her team whenever needed. When it came to court, she was amazing and fought for me with the truth, proof, and what was best for my son which led to a WIN! Highly recommended.

I'd like express my deepest gratitude for the extraordinary legal support provided by Amber and her team during a profoundly challenging time for my family. Their unwavering dedication to fighting for justice on behalf of my father went above and beyond all expectations. From the outset, it was clear that The Robinson Law Firm was not just a team of lawyers but a compassionate ally in our pursuit of fairness and integrity. They approached my father's case with a level of empathy and understanding that transcended the mere legal aspects, recognizing the deeply personal stakes involved.Throughout every stage of the proceedings, Amber and her Paralegal, Pattie demonstrated a commitment to advocating for my father's rights and ensuring that his wishes were upheld with the utmost respect and diligence. Their expertise in family law combined with a genuine sense of compassion provided us with the strength and confidence we needed to navigate the complexities of the legal system.What truly them apart was their unwavering determination to stand by our side, offering not only legal guidance but also unwavering emotional support. They listened to our concerns, addressed our fears, and fought tirelessly on my dads behalf, making us feel heard, valued, and empowered every step of the way. Sadly before the trial, my father passed away. The opposing ( unnamed)law firm, I believe intentionally dragged out the entire process in a 50/50 state charging 5x what the Robinson Law Firm charged and they didn't care about all the pain and suffering my father went through. Amber was extremely professional in our first court appearance. You could sense the judge had tremendous respect for her and it's just a shame my dad never made it to his final trial. I'm 9999% confident my dad would have won. Also a special thanks to Savannah for her professionalism.

Mr Onello charged 30k but simply did not do his job for the amount he charged. The divorce got dragged out much longer than it supposed to because Mr Onello wanted to charge maximum for the minimum work he did. At the end, I had to file my own forms because he was asking for more after I paid 30k. The case is listed as Cassel vs Cassel in Clark county so this is a legit one star review. Avoid at all cost. One last point I want to make. Mr Onello spends more time removing one star reviews than actually working so I would assume all the 5 star reviews are not legit. Don't fall for false reviews like I did.

I've hired this firm before, at which time Boris and his partner Joe did an outstanding job; it was a personal injury case. They were highly recommended by a close friend who was also extremely pleased. This time, I am requiring Boris's services for a criminal matter and I am thoroughly impressed thus far.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot recommend Ashlee Vasquez, Avea and Kim highly enough! From the very first meeting, Ashlee truly listened to my goals and took them seriously. I went into this process hoping for an outcome that was as amicable as possible, and Ashlee made it clear that she respected and supported thatapproach. She worked hard to educate me on my legal rights, making sure I fully understood all of my options without ever pushing me to engage in unnecessary conflict or take a more aggressive route than I was comfortable with. Ashlee and Avea were both incredibly accommodating and thoughtful throughout the entire process. They took the time to consider every variable that could affect my case, whether it was my personal priorities, the unique dynamics of my situation, or the practical implications of different legal strategies. Their attention to detail was unmatched, and it was clear they genuinely cared about helping me find a solution that worked for me and my family. What really stood out to me was how much time Ashlee spent listening to me. She made me feel heard and valued, which is something that can be so rare in these situations. She didn’t just offer a one-size-fits-all solution—she collaborated with me to create a plan that I felt confident and comfortable with, all while keeping my long-term goals and values in mind. Her approach was always calm, professional, and compassionate, which helped me stay grounded during what could have been a very stressful process. Avea was equally incredible. She was organized, responsive, and always made me feel like my case was a priority. Together, Ashlee and Avea were an amazing team who gave me not just legal support but also peace of mind. They went above and beyond to make sure I was informed, prepared, and confident at every step of the way. If you’re looking for a legal team that combines expertise, empathy, and a commitment to helping you achieve YOUR goals—not theirs—look no further. Ashlee and Avea are everything you could want in an attorney and law clerk. Thank you both so much for your exceptional work and dedication. You truly made an incredibly challenging time in my life so much easier to navigate.

First impression was everything! Ashlee V. was insightful, strategic, and always gave lots of options, without pushing us into anything that we did not want. Sue and Ashlee always communicated rapidly through MyCase and allowed me to see case updates on my phone almost instantaneously. Lots of documents were easily E-signed and the costs were not crazy! She's worth every penny! If I ever need help again, I will definitely reach out again.

Attorney Ashlee Vasquez provided me with exceptional legal support, leaving me feeling secure about the future for myself and my daughter. Her expertise in family law was evident as she listened attentively to my concerns and fears, leaving no stone unturned. Ashlee's genuine care and compassion set her apart from other attorneys I spoke too and brought me reassurance during a challenging time. With her guidance, I now have renewed hope for the future. I highly recommend Ashlee Vasquez for her unwavering dedication and commitment to her clients' well-being.

Courtney Devine was hired to help me through my divorce. It was very contentious with the opposing side, and Courtney was proactive in many ways to help protect me and set my case up for success. She is very thorough, but also attentive to not needlessly racking up the bill either. She truly cared about me as a client and the outcome of my case. She is someone I would highly recommend if you are in need of family law representation.

It was crazy how we met. Todd was an appointed attorney on my son's case and before I got to meet him in person. I had a client of his come into my non-profit organization to do court ordered community service. The client asked if I could fax over my information to his lawyer to show where he would be doing his community service hours at and duties. When I asked for his attorney information, the client said Todd Leventhal and I said WOW we was just appointed him as counsel for my son however we haven't met yet. What a small world. Needless to say, we finally met Mr Leventhal in person and he was very professional, told us straight up about my son's case and advised us on what way he was going to represent him and what we should expect. Todd didn't sugar code anything, he was straight forward and delivered on what he said he was going to do. Todd arranged a plea deal that made it possible for my son to be able to come home and be with his family. My son was facing 27 years to life and Todd had him out in less than 5 years. My son is now working and finishing his classes to earn a certificate in welding. If you are looking for an attorney that is a realist and keeps it real. I would suggest you contact this man because he really goes to bat for his clients. We sent plenty of referrals his way and everyone was happen with the outcome.

She was the consummate professional and made the whole process much less stressful.

I had a huge hiccup with my previous one, and let's just say they really dropped the ball. I was actually refereed to Willicks office from my aunt that lives in Chicago from her lawyer. I had a consultation with them and I already felt 100xs better just by explaining my situation. If you want a lawyer that will definitely have your back and is willingbto bat for you Willick is the way! I could not be more pleased on how the outcome came out!

Marshal Willick, wow…just so amazing! I don’t know 5 stars can cut it on my feelings for how well I feel Marshal handled my case. He exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend Marshal and all the legal staff at the Willick Law Group. I hired them to assist me in a complicated family matter and they were simply amazing in their handling of my case. The paralegals are so knowledgeable too and the team approach they utilized was paramount in the success of my case. I wish, I had hired them to handle my legal case initially, as I feel so doing, I would have likely saved money. They will use their expertise to help the courts see the truth from the get-go, which is so important-so your ex can not use the courts to create legal issues that cost you dearly financially years after the fact. The latter is so important when leaving a toxic situation, in hopes of the start of a new life. Further, I found the Willick Firm to be very compassionate. I felt they cared about my case and they were very mindful of their billing, without compromising quality. I only began to sleep well, once they took over and I knew my case was in the hands of some of the best legal minds in the country. I highly recommend Marshal and the Willick Firm.

I am an immigration attorney in Sacramento, California and needed a legal opinion letter from an attorney in Nevada specializing in family law. The issues were very complex and Marshal provided excellent service and work product. We had a short deadline, and Marshal worked on the weekend to get the opinion letter completed. He even went above and beyond and completed additional research outside the scope of services in order to help my client. I was very impressed working with Marshal and his staff and highly recommend their office.

This has only part to do with stacey, It's the review of the firm to date. (I'll update once all is over) I'm currently usuing Right lawyers for a child custody case. I'm a stay at home mom, and my husband is active military,. We live outside the jurisdiction of nevada, but my case is being held there. So I hired RIGHT LAWYERS because of the positive military review. I have had two retainers. One in which was smooth, informative, knowledgeable, and kept me up to date on all decisions made with approval on my behalf. (Laura) Nothing was done unless it was ran and throughly discussed by/with me (as law intends). I FULLY enjoyed the service. I paid 3,500$ and I felt it was well spent for everything Laura did. (She spoke a language I could understand, let me know I hired her to do a job, and my goals and intrest were top priority. She had an open line of communication and understood these cases can be very stressful and draining. She kept me informed EVERY step of the way. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that. Then theres the new retainer.... (theres a previous 1 star review on here, and I'm experiencing the EXACT same things although I've agreed to pay the money asked of me) The military community has even come together to help fundraise for my cause for "keeping military family's together" both in vegas in alaska. So that my family doesnt go without the basics. ( we sold most our belongings to meet the needs of our case financially and have been recognized for our efforts) All I am asking is for RIGHT LAWYERS to do is the services I've agreed to pay with my families best interest in mind. Without threats that would cause undue hardship, pressure, and unusual demands. I am a mom, spouse, human, volunteer, & daughter. I'm 24 years old and I did not ask to be put in this situation, but you've agreed to help me get thorugh it. My voice is important.

Becky represents my brother in a nasty divorce and custody battle. He lives in Texas and his ex-wife in Las Vegas. Because of lies his wife told the hearings are held in Vegas. Becky put forth and continues to put forth 100% for my brother. Not only has she been able to show the courts what kind of lying, manipulative person his ex-wife and her family are, but she was able to get my brother custody of my niece and reduced visitation for his ex-wife to his daughter. Becky continues to represent him in a professional manner since his ex-wife continues to file motions to keep this in court and in her attempt to drain my brothers money and time and ruin his lively hood. This is one of the most difficult and worst cases seen in a long time by the courts and Becky because of all the lies and deceit told by his ex-wife. I would highly recommend Becky Pintar and not look anywhere else. She can definitely get the job done and work hard to get everything you deserve!

Becky truly is a fantastic attorney. After interviewing several attorneys, I hired Becky to handle my divorce. When I first spoke with Becky, she immediately calmed my worries and showed true compassion and empathy. She told me NOT to worry; that everything would be alright, and because of her expertise, everything turned out better than I expected. Becky even allowed me to pay monthly payments when other attorneys demanded payment up front. Becky and Teresa, her paralegal, would keep on top of the numerous emails and plethora of documents I'd send and ALWAYS were quick to respond by either email or phone call. During the months we worked together Becky told me details matter of factly. She explained exactly what was going to happen and what I would expect with each step (requests for discoveries, settlements, going to court and with mediation). She explained everything so thoroughly I would share the information with my ex-husband as he had not been told by his attorney. Becky did not sugar coat the information. She was always knowledgeable and truthful. She even gave me some "tough love" advice, which I needed as I was letting my emotions get the best of me. During mediation, Becky, had my back and strongly negotiated a settlement that was fair. I have NOTHING BUT GOOD WORDS for Becky and her paralegal, Teresa. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Becky Pintar as a divorce attorney.

I found Alyssa here through Avvo. I sent multiple personal and detailed messages regarding my horrific family law matter. Alyssa sent me a message very quickly and answered all of my concerns in an honest and caring fashion. I retained Alyssa after working with two previous attorneys and with the need of her representation for my court date which was only four weeks away. Alyssa accomplished more in four weeks to help me than my other two attorneys did in two years! Alyssa is very honest and tells you the good, the bad and the ugly which I love and appreciate. She goes above and beyond to answer the tremendous amount of emails I send her. We ended up getting everything I wanted during our hearing. She literally blew me away while I’m court and when it comes to a horrific custody battle, she truly put my children’s needs and my desires front and center and fought for my family in the most impressive and short amount of time. I’m LAS Vegas, there isn’t another family law attorney that can hold a candle to Alyssa. If you are in a position where you ever need a family law attorney, contact Alyssa today! You will truly have your family in the hands of an angel! Thank you for everything, Alyssa. Words will never be able to express my gratitude to you in words!

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.
