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.

Naimi Mullins Law - 10 stars. They presented my options clearly, professionally and honestly. The process unfolded almost exactly as anticipated and under the estimated costs. There was one unforeseen issue that arose and Jason, Carrie and Sofia worked it diligently to the complete satisfaction of both myself and former wife. My hat is off to the firm and I highly recommend Naimi Mullins Law.

Kainen Law Group provided such comfort and stability during the most stressful and sad experience of my life. Specifically, Dara Marias was my emotional support attorney. She explained the entire process in a way that was easy to understand but not intimidating. Originally, my partner and I discussed mediation, but after hearing her speak about amicable divorce, it became clear that was the right choice for us. I am so grateful that she informed us of the option, and even though my partner and I were in fact amicable, I truly believe that it made the separation process much less contentious. On the same note, Dara gave honest advice and made even unpleasant statements sound tolerable. She gave awareness and guidance on issues I never would have thought of, and it was clear that she had invaluable experience. It was also very, very clear that her ultimate goal was to make sure that I was in the best position possible (financially, physically, mentally) to move forward. Dara is the best advocate a person could ask for, personally and professionally!

I have not used their services just called for a consultation. I was told that the consultation would be around $500 because they are consulting my individual case. Then to retain an attorney it would be around $10,000-$15,000. Not something that I can afford at this time.

My experience with Dawn Lozano was nothing short of a nightmare. I am compelled to share my story to help others avoid this attorney.
I initially hired Dawn during an incredibly difficult period, hoping for professional guidance and representation. Unfortunately, what I received was a series of unprofessional and unethical actions that left me not only without the support I desperately needed but also financially drained after spending $2,885 including a consultation fee she made me pay before getting any sort of advice which was reasonable because I respect others time.
I paid the agreed-upon full amount upfront, believing this was a necessary step to ensure a solid defense. However, this decision quickly proved to be a grave mistake. The attorney made only 2 court appearances on my behalf and then withdrew from the case with no clear explanation only to send a letter months later saying that the court had referred the matter back to the Public Defender’s office, but there was no further detail or clarification provided which confused me because she never told us this, and her assistant would only tell us that she would get back to us.
Despite numerous emails and messages, I received no response. I was left in the dark about the status of my case and any next steps I should take. Luckily my family found another attorney who represented me but I had to deal with months sitting in jail which I don't put that on her but if she couldn't of done anything or knew this was going to happened I would of just went with a different attorney.
In summary, my experience with Dawn was a complete disaster. She took my money, provided minimal service, and failed to follow through on her commitments. Her lack of communication and unprofessional conduct added immense stress to an already challenging situation. I strongly advise others to thoroughly research and consider alternative options before hiring this attorney to avoid similar distressing experiences because I would not want anyone else to go through this. I can care less about the money but more of so the distress I had to go through during the time. I attached photos of payments sent to her so no one thinks this is a fake review or false. I also attached the letter she sent asking for a review so here it is. Save your time and money, this lady should be ashamed of even having a law firm that operates the way she does.

Jason and his team are very professional, yet friendly, personable, and hands-on with their clients. So much so, that you genuinely feel that they care about you and your situation. There's open and efficient communication from start to finish, throughout the process of your case. Jason's law office is clean, tidy, and welcoming, with a warmth atmosphere. Which gave me the first impression that their image mattered, so I was going to be in good hands, in trusting them with my case. I'm thankful that I was referred to Jason from a friend mine, who had a similar experience with Jason and his team. And I too will refer and recommend others to Attorney Jason W Barrus's Law Firm as well.

I couldn’t be happier with our team at Sgro and Roger. They handled our personal injury case with such professionalism and were extremely empathetic and sensitive throughout. I knew our entire team had our best interest at heart and they were 100% in our corner. More specifically, Racheal Ross. She is an absolute boss. She is super knowledgeable, timely, and communicative. She handled everything with such confidence. I honestly can’t thank her enough for the work she put in for us, even on weekends, holidays, and late at night. She really went the extra mile. Thank you to Tony, Racheal, and the rest of the staff at Sgro and Roger! 10/10 would recommend this office to anyone looking for the best and most honest lawyers out there.

My experience with Benjamin Leavitt and his associates was outstanding. While involving me in the decision-making process, he thoroughly explained all aspects of my case, shared his opinions, and provided excellent advice. What was expected to be a simple, straightforward divorce became rather complicated and lengthier than anticipated. Ben adjusted his strategy accordingly, and was dedicated to being a persistent, unwavering champion as he advocated for me. When emotions clouded my judgement, Ben offered clarity and reason. Ben responded promptly to my questions, consistently and persistently advocated for me in order to obtain a successful outcome. He and his staff demonstrated genuine concern for the result.

From the time I walked in to Leavitt Law Firm I knew I was at the right place to win my case. I was not disappointed. Mr. Leavitt is dedicated to his business. My case was won sooner than expected and it only cost half my retainer fee. I would recommend Leavitt Law Firm to anyone looking for a family Law Firm. I would also like to say a special thank you to Tiffany Hendrich and Leslie Campos for being there for me every step of the way!

I want to emphasize that this review is not from a client who was denied custody. I was awarded custody, but this outcome was not due to the diligence of this law firm. It was solely based on my decision to ask the court to speak with my child, whose preference influenced the judge's decision. Initial Consultation: Like many, I researched the best child custody lawyers due to issues with my child's mother. I felt I needed legal representation to protect my relationship with my child and prevent ongoing parental alienation. After a week of research and several consultations, I chose Leavitt Law Firm on 1/20/2023 for a consultation with Dennis Leavitt. Despite being asked to arrive early, I was made to wait over 50 minutes past my appointment time with no check-ins or apologies. This was highly unprofessional and should have been a warning sign, but I overlooked it due to my urgent situation. Engagement and Retainer: On 1/23/2023, I hired Dennis, paying an $8000 retainer in full. I was informed that although Dennis would represent me, other firm members might also work on my case, with rates ranging from $500/hr for Dennis to $150/hr for legal assistants. Case Management: On 2/1/2023, I received stamped copies of my custody complaint. By 3/7/2023, I reached out for an update, only to find out the initial paralegal was no longer with the firm. The new paralegal seemed unfamiliar with my case and asked basic questions like "Does the child live with you?"—information they should have known. On 3/8/2023, I was asked to provide a summary of my case, which I had already done. This redundancy added unnecessary costs. I then received an “Affidavit of Attempted Service” indicating my child's mother was evading service. Despite disclosing upfront that she was out of state, the firm failed to handle this efficiently, further draining my retainer. By 6/9, the firm finally got an Order for Alternative Service signed by the judge. On 7/5, after serving my child's mother via email and social media, I received a “Notice of Appearance” from opposing counsel. Throughout this process, the opposing counsel was clearly more proactive, even filing an emergency order of custody. By 7/26, I had paid $15,500 and received little progress. The firm's lack of communication and continuous errors in my documents, including misspellings of my name, made me feel unsupported and like a number rather than a client as I express to Mr. Leavitt in a later in person meeting. Hearing and Trial: On 8/14, the hearing date, Dennis did not represent me. Instead, I had a lawyer who knew nothing about my case, resulting in me being ordered to pay $5,000 in lawyer fees to the opposing counsel. My daughter lived with me, I had been providing support, and I paid for my lawyer while caring for a family of six. The substitute lawyer's lack of knowledge about my income, which includes substantial but not guaranteed commissions, led to that judgment. With the trial set for November, I had paid $15,500 to the lawfirm and $5000 lawyers fees for daughters mother bringing total to $20,500 out of pocket. The lack of support and communication from the firm led me to request a meeting with Dennis, which I was not charged. During trial prep, it was evident that neither Dennis nor the paralegal knew my case well. I had to rely on my child's testimony to ensure the judge made an informed decision. Seven days before the trial, I was billed $6,446.77 and asked to add $8,000 to my retainer. This last-minute demand, totaling $14,446.77, was reduced to $10,000 if paid promptly. This brought my total paid to $25,500. Outcome: I was granted custody because my child wanted to stay with me, but I was still ordered to pay $10,000 back child support "Negotiated down from $60K" by Mr. Leavitt, bringing my total out-of-pocket cost to $40,500 all together. Conclusion: The biggest win is my continued relationship with my daughter. However I would not recommend this firm! Take your hard earned money to someone who will remember your name as a client. Especially if you’re paying them $20k+!

I’m so glad I hired Michael to handle my family court issues. I’ve worked with other attorneys in the past, but they were easily swayed, disorganized and often lacked the tenacity I needed. Michael was different and straightforward, very confident, well organized and never intimidated by the opposing party. Communication was extremely easy. His assistant Tricia was extremely insightful and organized as well. He turned what seemed like a complicated and stressful situation into a smooth and manageable process. I couldn’t be happier with his dedication and the outcome of my case.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Brian and this firm. From our initial consultation until the end, I felt supported and heard and Brian went well out of his way to help me in ways I didn't even ask or think to consider. He is honest, empathic, and truly has his client's best interests in mind. He was thorough and looked into matters so that I didn't waste any time or money regarding the circumstances of my case. His depth of knowledge and the way he explained things made a difficult situation seem bearable and less stressful. You will not find another attorney who has more integrity than this man. I could not recommend hiring them to represent you more. Thank you, Brian for all your help - I will never forget your willingness and generosity to offer your time and hard work. And thank you to Sue, who was great and prompt at responding to any and all communication. I hope to never need another lawyer again, but if I do, Burton & Reardon will be the first ones I call, without question.

I first met Mr. Gwynne Dumbrigue ten years ago, after a referral concerning personal injury and bankruptcy. My first impressions were evidence that his characteristics showed dedication, professionalism and extensive knowledge in both areas. As time went by, with both of my cases, it was obvious Mr. Dumbrigue's strengths included his priority of responding back to me in a timely manner, along with his availability to meet with me when the situation was warranted. In addition, his calm demeanor was very reassuring at a time of high anxiety.

It is with great pleasure that I write to support Mr. Gwynne Dumbrigue. His guidance throughout my bankruptcy proceedings displayed his expertise and patience with a system that can be very stressful. Mr. Dumbrigue believes in hard work and dedication and conducts himself in a manner that exemplifies professionalism and integrity. He continually displayed the highest standards of intellectual ability and motivation. I was very fortunate to have an individual represent me as if he was representing his own family member.

Unfortunately I had to use Gwynne on several occasions regarding traffic tickets. He has always responded to my needs in a timely manner even helping me outside normal business hours. I have been very pleased with the results that have occurred from him representing me in court. He has helped me with debt collection matters resulting in me not having to file bankruptcy. Gwynne is very personable and makes it very comfortable talking to him. I have recommended him to 4 of my friends and acquaintances and they have been pleased with him also.

From the time I walked in to Leavitt Law Firm I knew I was at the right place to win my case. I was not disappointed. Mr. Leavitt is dedicated to his business. My case was won sooner than expected and it only cost half my retainer fee. I would recommend Leavitt Law Firm to anyone looking for a family Law Firm. I would also like to say a special thank you to Tiffany Hendrich and Leslie Campos for being there for me every step of the way!

I want to emphasize that this review is not from a client who was denied custody. I was awarded custody, but this outcome was not due to the diligence of this law firm. It was solely based on my decision to ask the court to speak with my child, whose preference influenced the judge's decision. Initial Consultation: Like many, I researched the best child custody lawyers due to issues with my child's mother. I felt I needed legal representation to protect my relationship with my child and prevent ongoing parental alienation. After a week of research and several consultations, I chose Leavitt Law Firm on 1/20/2023 for a consultation with Dennis Leavitt. Despite being asked to arrive early, I was made to wait over 50 minutes past my appointment time with no check-ins or apologies. This was highly unprofessional and should have been a warning sign, but I overlooked it due to my urgent situation. Engagement and Retainer: On 1/23/2023, I hired Dennis, paying an $8000 retainer in full. I was informed that although Dennis would represent me, other firm members might also work on my case, with rates ranging from $500/hr for Dennis to $150/hr for legal assistants. Case Management: On 2/1/2023, I received stamped copies of my custody complaint. By 3/7/2023, I reached out for an update, only to find out the initial paralegal was no longer with the firm. The new paralegal seemed unfamiliar with my case and asked basic questions like "Does the child live with you?"—information they should have known. On 3/8/2023, I was asked to provide a summary of my case, which I had already done. This redundancy added unnecessary costs. I then received an “Affidavit of Attempted Service” indicating my child's mother was evading service. Despite disclosing upfront that she was out of state, the firm failed to handle this efficiently, further draining my retainer. By 6/9, the firm finally got an Order for Alternative Service signed by the judge. On 7/5, after serving my child's mother via email and social media, I received a “Notice of Appearance” from opposing counsel. Throughout this process, the opposing counsel was clearly more proactive, even filing an emergency order of custody. By 7/26, I had paid $15,500 and received little progress. The firm's lack of communication and continuous errors in my documents, including misspellings of my name, made me feel unsupported and like a number rather than a client as I express to Mr. Leavitt in a later in person meeting. Hearing and Trial: On 8/14, the hearing date, Dennis did not represent me. Instead, I had a lawyer who knew nothing about my case, resulting in me being ordered to pay $5,000 in lawyer fees to the opposing counsel. My daughter lived with me, I had been providing support, and I paid for my lawyer while caring for a family of six. The substitute lawyer's lack of knowledge about my income, which includes substantial but not guaranteed commissions, led to that judgment. With the trial set for November, I had paid $15,500 to the lawfirm and $5000 lawyers fees for daughters mother bringing total to $20,500 out of pocket. The lack of support and communication from the firm led me to request a meeting with Dennis, which I was not charged. During trial prep, it was evident that neither Dennis nor the paralegal knew my case well. I had to rely on my child's testimony to ensure the judge made an informed decision. Seven days before the trial, I was billed $6,446.77 and asked to add $8,000 to my retainer. This last-minute demand, totaling $14,446.77, was reduced to $10,000 if paid promptly. This brought my total paid to $25,500. Outcome: I was granted custody because my child wanted to stay with me, but I was still ordered to pay $10,000 back child support "Negotiated down from $60K" by Mr. Leavitt, bringing my total out-of-pocket cost to $40,500 all together. Conclusion: The biggest win is my continued relationship with my daughter. However I would not recommend this firm! Take your hard earned money to someone who will remember your name as a client. Especially if you’re paying them $20k+!

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.
