I had a lot of fear, anxiety and emotion when deciding if a lawyer was the right move, those feelings quickly went away during the consultation with Jason. He reinsured me that there was options and things I could do to better my situation, and because of his genuine care toward myself and situation i was able to feel confident in my decision and was able to fully understand the process. If your thinking of getting a lawyer then talk with Jason he gave me a chance when I felt like I had none he gave me peace of mind when things had reached there worse, I’m forever grateful for what Jason has done for me and my daughter

I met with Jason before my divorce trial, and in a very short time he really put my mind at ease. Going through an adversarial divorce with an unreasonable person is really difficult, but he confirmed my decision to remain pro se. Not many lawyers you talk to don’t just take your money. It’s good to know that there are still family lawyers who care about families.

In my experience working with one of Perkins Thompson's software lawyers, he presented facts that allowed our business to sustain a competitive advantage while understanding the legal impact for the decisions we needed to make. Having him on our side was like having in-house counsel ready and willing to assist with a number of legal issues. When seeking a lawyer, it's incredibly important to have someone that is not only trustworthy but also experienced in the specific area of law that is needed. Our executive team would be happy to call on Perkins Thompson for our business related legal needs in the future.

Had initial phone call and emailed back and forth to have Jeremy help me with a legal issue. He was attentive and straightforward. When his services were needed a few months later on what we discussed, he simply wouldn’t respond to either email or phone. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and thought he may be on vacation or something, but this was not the case. Found another review elsewhere that said that they were also ignored. My friend, who referred me, was ignored on a small piece of advice she was seeking this spring. Unresponsive. Do not recommend. Had to scramble for last minute representation with another lawyer.

Heather was a true advocate for my best interest. Her experience and confidence got the results I needed in my case. Heather is easy to talk to and listens, gathers information then puts an ethical, winning case together. She treats all parties respectfully. She was very responsive to any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend Heather for your attorney needs.

I had the opportunity to be represented by Mariah and she is by far the most responsive attorney. I had several questions for her throughout my case and she always gave me answers usually within a few hours. I have never really required a lawyer in my life, but she has made the experience very comfortable and easy. I highly recommend Mariah and if I have any friends or family in need of legal counsel, she would be the one I would recommend.

Molly has been a great attorney, she has been at bat for me for the past 21 months now, and although this battle isnt over yet, I can say that win or lose, I would highly recommend Molly. We may not always see eye to eye, but that's why she has a degree and I don't, but I have completely laid my future and the future of my children in her hands. This is a very difficult case (DHHS-CPS) , but my children and I are already more fortunate than we would be if she weren't in my corner.

We didn't hire them when we first started our immigration process because money was tight. Upon hindsight I wish I had. The fee may seem a lot but with the time you will put into it is likely worth it. 100% give them a call and take the consultation.

Carina represented me in my protection from abuse case against my ex. This was a very emotional and difficult time for me. Carina really listened to my fears and concerns. I felt understood, respected and validated. Her kindness encouraged me to remain strong and helped me find my voice. She led me by the hand, guiding me step by step. Her courtroom presence was without a doubt extremely professional. I cannot stress what a privilege it was to have her as my lawyer. She helped me win my case and gave me a piece of my life back.

I've worked with Attorney Thistle on MANY cases, and I have to say Eric IS the BEST attorney out there. Not only is he a great lawyer, but he's also the man. I've never been let down by Eric. He's realistic and goes above and beyond for his clients. I recommend, to anyone who needs a criminal defense attorney OR even a family attorney. Attorney Eric Thistle thank you for everything you've ever done for me in the court room. Working wonders is an understatement sometimes idk how he does what he does but whatever your tactics are as an attorney keep them. Very respected by me and my family. Thank you

The professional service I received was like none I’ve ever received from any lawyer before. I would say I’m…. Lawyer experienced!!! Facing A Class A felony was Made easier bye Eric’s preparation. His respectfulness and direct personality made hard conversations understandable. The levity of my situation was i was facing 30 years with extra cases…. Fired my court appointed attorney… Hired Eric & he went to work for me right away. He Resolved the cases holding up my bail. Allowing me to get out of county jail & await trial from home!!! This gained Eric enough leverage to get me a resolution that i was willing to accept… i might not have gotten everything I wanted & While i don’t want to create unrealistic expectations! If needed I surely would never hire anyone else!!! If your reading this I would put my trust into Eric if I were you !

I recently had the pleasure of working with attorney Chris Causey on a legal matter, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience.

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.
