I hired Vince, consulted with Vince, and he was great:
There where no problems at all.
He is very Affordable.
Brief story:
I am no attorney. However I have Won cases on my own. However I was down on my luck not winning a case. I went to him with my situation . He told me up front I can't promise you anything. However I will fight for you the best I can. He did just that and more. This guy is for the people and not tying to lie to you or rip you off like I had experience in the past. Vince Morris gave me hope that there are good guys in the attorney field. Thank you again for helping me Vince. You gave me hope in trusting attorneys. There are some good ones and bad ones. Vince is definitely the good one. -BW HARRIS

I needed an attorney to represent me after my ex wife sued me. After consulting with a few attorneys I met Patty. Patty was very understanding, yet gave me the facts that I needed to properly address my circumstances. Patty is everything you need. Her knowledge and experience gave me comfort, while her strength and skill gave me what I wanted from the judge! She was able to guide me through a very difficult time. Nobody wants to be in a litigious situation, but if you are, Patty will represent you in an honest and skillful way that will give you the confidence you need to go to court.

I joking call Patty Lueken "Attorney of the Year " to her face and in correspondence, but the whole thing comes from a place of deep appreciation for her talent and her passion. Patty took my case from another attorney and quickly reacted to a number of sensitive and unresolved issues with real authority and direction - which ultimately led to a resolution I never even imagined possible. She combines aggressiveness, where needed, with calm, level headed and knowledgeable advice. As mine was a critical family law matter, she could step into my shoes as a mother with a deep understanding of a parent's priorities. Patty returns emails and phone calls quickly and treats all her clients as if they are her only one. One can expect unmatched service from Patty and her small, but mighty team!

Mr. Digby is the best, most ethical, personable, professional, attorney my husband and I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Not only did he take our case no questions asked, but he completely changed our impression of the profession itself. Mr Digby is very intelligent in his chosen profession, but at the same time, is able to explain not only the laws themselves, but in both his office and the courtroom, takes the time to make sure the average joe understands what is being said, done, and what needs to be done. A HUGE thanks to this man who, as educated as he is, can still relate to the people he serves. My husband had been without a driver's license for 6 years due to his own irresponsible behavior, and Mr. Digby was able to show that the statues had expired on the charges, that there had not been any other traffic violations during that period, that my husband had on a later date spent 8 hours in custody in Perry County during which Pulaski County failed to claim extradition, and that we lived at the same address for the entire time proving that he could have been picked up any time during the ten years at that address, and there was no effort made whatsovever by any law enforcement agency to arrest or convict. My husband now has his license reinstated, and has had no other traffic violations. Thank you, Mr. Digby, from the Stone Family in Perry County, Ar.

Caroline is one of the best attorneys I have had the pleasure of meeting. She made a fantastic visitation schedule for my ex-wife that had my stepson's best interest at heart. She cared deeply about our case and I can tell she cares greatly about all of her cases. She is extremely intelligent and if she doesn't know the answer, she will find it through research and hard work. I am about to use Caroline again for another case I have and will continue to do so for all of my legal needs in the future. Thank you Caroline, you are incredible!

Todd C. Watson was an excellent choice for a lawyer to handle our legal need of transferring the property deed of our mother's house to us (her children) following her death. He spent time explaining all the legal matters in a way that were easy to understand. He was prompt in returning our calls. He was expedient in handling the deed transfer for us. His price was competitive with that in the market. Todd quoted us a price and delivered the legal service we requested for that price.
Thank You Todd for providing us with friendly, knowledgeable and quality legal services.
Sincerely, Veronica

The Brad Hendricks Law Firm
The Brad Hendricks Law Firm consists of some of Arkansas’ most professional lawyers.
I am an old man who has traveled the world, and never before I have met a young fellow with the nobility I detected in Attorney Kitchen. I also had the opportunity to work with one of the most ingenious lawyers in the State of Arkansas. This gentleman is efficient in all his professional responsibilities
and demonstrates an exceptional mastery of his skills. In these times when young men and women often have no social graces or respect towards their elders, Attorney Kitchen was very respectful in his communication with me regarding my case and never missed referring to me as mister or sir. He followed high standards of ethical behavior in our attorney-client
relationship. I’d like to crown Attorney Kitchen as a Knight!
Mr. Hendricks, it was an honor to do business with your law firm.

I first made contact with Mr.Hall in 2010 regarding my divorce. Since then he has handled a few more cases for me. I will say in court he comes out of the corner swinging and does not back down. He is VERY prompt at returning phone calls. And very through at explaining everything that he plans on doing for your case I've not had to contact another attorney yet. Nor would I ever. Anytime I have questions. On a legal matter. He's the first one I call. If your having any legal issue. I suggest giving him a call before talking to anyone else.

Mr. Hall tenaciously called the prosecution, kept me informed at all times, and did not stop until my case was expunged, as I was promised in a court of law 11 years ago. Mr. Hall is an outstanding attorney, and I would insist that anyone I knew who may need criminal representation to contact Mr. Hall.

I have heard lawyers say those that make C's in law school become lawyers, B's become judges, and A's become law professors. Meet a former Chair for Family Law for the American Bar Association and a Family Law instructor. The man is brilliant and while he is obviously one of the top legal minds available at any price, my wholehearted endorsement equally is based upon Mr. Coplin's personal attention. Family Law is one of the more emotionally stressful practices to enter, but Barry was consistently warm, professional and extremely knowledgeable in helping my wife deal with her issue. I personally appreciate what I believe was 'extra miles' Mr. Coplin walked for our case. I am a professor myself and have great respect for the best of the professors that taught me. In my personal opinion, no judge could fail to respect the record, experience and professionalism of Mr. Coplin. If you want the best of the best your choice is clear. Barry Coplin.

Mr. Files represented me as the defendant and custodial parent in my paternity, custody, and child support case. I found him to be patient, collected, thorough, and attentive in his legal counsel. He was quick to respond to my emails when needed. I always felt that he was on my team. He is not one of these lawyers who will fill my head with what I wanted to hear just to make a buck, but what I needed to hear to be reasonably prepared for this process. I found him to be very rational, honest and upfront. In the end he helped to represent my position with the judge regarding my ability to protect my child from her father's alcoholism and general unfitness while still allowing for an opportunity for him to have the healthiest possible relationship with her as I requested. His thoughtful counsel and representation earned us a very satisfactory final ruling to meet my family's needs despite having three different judges presiding over our case.

Nathan Lewis and his team are the best in Arkansas. For family court or criminal court, ect. He's always on top of your case. He and his team will help you anytime they can and are extremely intelligent. I've had two attys prior to him for my family law case and can say it's finally refreshing to know I'm not alone in the court room. Any call or important email is returned in a reasonable time (if not answered right then for you by Seth who always makes me feel less nervous by giving me the information I need so im not left wondering and waiting for weeks like I've experienced in the past w other attorneys. The fees charged for the amount of diligent hard work they do, are, in my year long experience, unmatched. My only regret is not finding him sooner. If you'd rather be repped in court by calm, assertive, respectable, intelligence vs loud theatrics or low brow tactics, then lawyer up with Nathan Lewis. He's the bulldog that you need, that doesn't need to bark. So thankful for Nathan and Seth!! I'm a single mom going through family court and this guy is a real blessing. He actually does specialize in every aspect of law he claims to. I've found alot of attys say that but actually may not in the end. Don't chance it, call Nathan Lewis, you won't regret it. Thanks!

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.
