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.

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.

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!!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mr. Al Bruzas for the last two years, and I can confidently say that he is nothing short of a top notch attorney. He is detail oriented, knowledgeable, straightforward, professional and patient. It’s been a long road of having multiple issues thrown my way including several court hearings, and each time I would rest assured that things would be okay. When going to court, the Judge is ultimately the one who will be deciding the outcome - the law is the law. The attorney you choose is your representative. It’s imperative that you have someone who will have your back, advocate and support you in the most effective way possible. Presentation of your case is key. And Mr. Al Bruzas completely outdid himself, and for that I thank you! You made a difficult process a little easier for me, and I’ll be forever grateful for that - and so will my kids.

I handed him my husband's child custody case on a silver platter, with all of the work done for him. He just had to file the paperwork and submit the evidence I provided to him. He literally didn't do anything my husband asked him to do in court and constantly told the judge the wrong information and had to be corrected in court. $7,000 later, custody was the same, with a few stipulations. We contacted him several times to get a copy of the agreement and he completely ghosted us. It's been 8 years and we still don't have a copy, so now we have to pay another lawyer to get a copy of it. We would have been better off with the $99 lawyer his ex hired.

I met Amanda shortly after my father passed to complete my Estate Planning documentation. Having experienced a major life event, Amanda made the entire process easy, stress-free, and simple for me. Amanda is a gem to work with. She’s polite, friendly, and professional. She quickly responds to emails, was available to answer any and all questions, and most importantly I felt she genuinely cared about me as a client. I felt her warmth and care from Day 1. I whole heartedly recommend Amanda to anyone without reservation.

After a it-and-run accident in Las Vegas, my partner and I were in a tough spot. We were hurt and in the middle of moving to Asheville, North Carolina. During this hard time, we were lucky to have Steve Jimenez, Esq. and Juan Rubio Pulido from Gonzalez Law Firm helping us out. Right from the start, Steve and Juan were incredibly dedicated, caring, and professional, which really made them stand out.
Even though it was complicated to manage our medical care from one state to another, Steve and Juan did everything they could to make sure we got the care we needed right after the accident in Las Vegas. They arranged everything so smoothly that we could continue our treatments without interruption, both remotely and then in person when we got to Asheville. They were so detailed and always on top of communication—they took care of it all.
What really amazed us was how much Steve and Juan cared and paid attention to us personally. They really listened to what we needed, answered all our questions in a way we could understand, and made sure we didn’t worry about anything. They were honest and you could really trust them, which gave us peace of mind during a stressful time.
Thanks to their hard work, we could concentrate on getting better without the extra stress that usually comes with dealing with the legal and insurance details. In the end, we not only recovered fully but also got compensated for our troubles, which shows how skilled and committed they were to looking out for us.
I can’t praise Steve Jimenez, Esq. and Juan Rubio Pulido at Gonzalez Law Firm enough. They’re not just great lawyers but also kind people who really care about the people they help. If you’re looking for legal help that’s both personal and excellent, these are the guys to go to.

Hire him…. I went to Garrett for a DUI charge. I did not have a low BAC by any means, and 100% thought I would be facing some serious consequences. Garret got me completely off! I now have 0 DUI on my record and only have a reckless. Of course I will never drink and drive again but the fact that I pretty much 0 consequences through the court was amazing. He works his magic. He was a bit more expensive than others I looked into but 100% worth the cost. No one else could have gotten me off the way he did. Don’t gyp yourself, and go ahead and spend the money on a bad ass attorney who WILL get the job done

Garrett, Garrett, Garrett. Oh boy what a disaster of a lawyer and a terrible person. From violating attorney client privilege multiple times, to poor communication by his office. He lies to you to get your money and more and more. He tried to charge me 5k for a misdemeanor citation which I went to court myself and got dismissed. Now imagine how unfair his pricing is for other cases. Please get a good lawyer who actually cares and shows up for you, not like Mr. Ogata who sells you out and only cares about payment. Please be careful for his tactics where you pay for the case. For example he will charge you at the start of the case and then charge you another one because he is “negotiating”. Not even trial “negotiations”.

DO NOT use this law firm, specifically Dan Allen. He completely gouged my husband and I in his custody case. There was AT LEAST 10 unanswered emails/phone calls from him and his paralegal Rhett. We would go weeks without getting a status update and when we would request one, no answer. We had an appointment set up with him and he wasn’t even in the office that day, ended up having to be through the phone. Dan is on suspension with the bar currently and it doesn’t seem like anyone is monitoring him. He’s obviously suspended for a reason. He recommended a motion that we didn’t need. Quoted us $1500 but it cost us over $2000. Total we gave this guy $6500, this amount DID NOT even get us to our CMC. Once we fired him through email, received a phone call IMMEDIATELY?!? We ended up firing him right before the CMC and did the rest ourselves. What a waste of time/money.

So disappointed!
Mace Had my son take a plea agreement and told him there was a good chance he would get probation. He gave him false Hope. During the sentence, Mace just sat there and did not say a word! Plea deal stipulated the DA would not recommend charges, and the Judge would set the punishment. At the very beginning, the DA broke the agreement. He stopped mid-sentence to say maybe Mace would object and ask if they both could step up to the Judge Podium. Mace looked confused and stood mid-court room staring at the judge for direction! He was shooed back to his table where he sat and didn’t say a word! Some of the things said were not accurate, That Mace did not correct. It was as if he didn’t have a clue as to what was going on! My son did not get probation as Mace was insinuating he would get. He was given the Max! I feel a public defender would have done a better job or at the least my son would have gotten the same results! That would have been 10K saved or at the very least given to the victim's Family!!

If I could give him no stars I would. He told my son to accept he was guilty when he is not. Suppose no no jail time, then the day of the hearing, Mace said nothing, no argument, nothing just let the judge sentence him, to Prison.

You won't find a more effective and dependable firm to go above and beyond their call of duty so to speak in representing you.
Things happen in SIN CITY.. it's world famous for bending rules here... this firm was highly recommended to me in 2016 by another defense team in California to give me the best chance to try my case with never even meeting me in person.
Since I lived out of state, they handled every single appearance for me and at one point I forgot to tell them my new contract info and they still defended my case for over a year!
Small things have come up since then and they are my go to right away.. and recently I was wrongfully accused on something serious that most would have thought was no way to win.
The MASTER MACE himself followed through to the end and it's been 15 months and it was just dismissed.
It took maybe 7 years before I finally met MACE in person this past 4 months. I feel like we have been good friends for ages.
In addition, a close partner needed a serious defense on something here that was very severe and MACE team recommended two other attorneys outside of their firm.
#1 didn't answer
#2 answered right away and my partner experienced phenomenal results. There was no commission or anything back to that recommendation.
I'm an intl businessman with serious sales in 27 countries.
These things to me are a very serious top priority and MACE and their entire team make sure follow through from start to end!

Not only did this firm provide advice to opposing counsel while intoxicated at at event in Reno - they regularly made me feel 100% accountable for my actions while simply protecting my young children from the Covid vaccine. My attorney and her boss, Brian, are through and through entitled liberals with no motives other than to destroy their clients that see things differently than they do. Brian hates this country, our morals, as well as those of his conservative clients. I have never felt more degraded, mortified, and slandered than I did working with him through the beginning of my divorce. If you have any scruples - stay away from this monster and the firm they have created.

Although my case didn't end as I had hoped, Brian did everything that he could to put forth the best case.

Brian is very easy to talk to, and I recommend him if you have any need for a Family Law attorney.

A lot of Alex's clients have gone to other lawyers due to his lack of work. He told me to sign my divorce decree even though I was owed more. He just wanted to get it over with. I had a leftover retainer of $6k that he kept and drew out the process of finalizing my custody order. I had to keep calling and calling in order to get a response. Instead he lied about filing and due dates, threatened to withdraw from my court case, but did not. I had to hire another lawyer and go through the bar to get my retainer back. His exact words were "that's how lawyers make money". And that's exactly what he will do. Fill his own pockets before helping you out. Don't be fooled by the flat fee. If you ask for an itemized invoice he will charge $400 per hour. If I knew that I would've got monies worth instead of the mediocre deadlines.

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.

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.

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.

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.

- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
