I came here along with my parents to pick up a check for my mom since she was a client and the people here are really warm, helpful, and friendly. It was only a 40 minute ride but the gentleman there by the name of Bruce gave us all a jar of candy for us coming there.

Very unprofessional as he screamed at me in court calling me a bully for representing myself. Adam handled my wife’s case and created unnecessary conflict. I originally retained Kim Fleming who was very professional and a great attorney. Adam and Kim wrote an agreement that my wife and I signed. After signing the agreement I dropped Kim as I no longer needed her services the rest of the process is pretty cut and dry. When I filed for final divorce Adam contested the agreement he had a part in writing. Immediately he filed multiple motions that were unnecessary racking up my ex wife’s fees. I explained to Adam he wasn’t going to take this to court and let a judge know he wrote a fraudulent agreement. He began screaming at me that I don’t tell him what to do. I explained he would loose and look poorly in court. He stretched the divorce out another two years again charging my wife fees for affidavits and motions. One week before our trial Adam withdrew himself leaving her to find another lawyer. During the decision of the trial the judge spent a significant time speaking to how ridiculous it was to contest a fair 50/50 split agreement. Needless to say he did not have the best interest of his client at hand. I’ve known other that have used him and been dissatisfied with his representation and other that he has went against and questioned his integrity. Divorced should be a fair division of assets and split custody of children unless those children are being abused. Adams ethics should be questioned as his practices resemble that of a bully!

Terrible Firm. Bad Communication and they'd rather settle for less and just get a quick percentage then fight for a larger settlement. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Dimitri is a fantastic attorney who helped my husband, Vladyslav, with two tough car accident cases where he got injured. Dimitri got us great settlements and made the whole process smooth. He also helped my friend Anna a few years back, and she had a great experience too. We're really glad we chose him and highly recommend his services.

Absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service offered by Evans Law! I am impressed by the professionalism and expertise of their team. Attorney Caterina Sorrento, in particular, stands out with her impressive knowledge, skill, and dedication to client success.
Caterina’s deep understanding of the legal landscape is evident every time I consult with her. She navigates complex issues with ease and provided clear, strategic advice that make all the difference. Her attention to detail and genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome for her clients truly sets her apart.
The other staff at Evans Law are equally impressive, prompt, courteous, and helpful. They ensure that every step of the process was smooth and stress-free.
If you're looking for top-notch legal representation, I highly recommend Caterina Sorrento and the entire team at Evans Law. Their expertise and unwavering support make them a standout choice in the field.

Call now before your spouse does! I can’t recommend Mr. Billian enough. His expertise and guidance was extremely helpful throughout the process. After consulting with several lawyers, it was clear that Mr. Billian was the best choice. I felt more in control and confident after every discussion with him. He was much more knowledgeable than the “big shot” lawyers we were up against! If you’re dealing with a divorce or custody battle, Mr. Billian will tirelessly work for the best outcome and significantly reduce your stress during such a difficult time.

I appreciate that when I left a message, I promptly received either a text of acknowledgment and/or a return call by the end of the day. Todd is composed, transparent, honest, and confident. He remained driven throughout my representation which resulted in a WIN of my criminal case. Thank God and I thank Todd!!!

Mr. Rosenthal is truly a pursuer of the truth. He worked tirelessly on our case for over 3 years. Back and forth between him and the courts with all the documentation, he never missed a date or deadline. He always kept us updated to what was going on with the case. As well he was upfront and honest with us in that he would do his best and he felt we had a strong case.
The district court ruled against us and we appealed to circuit court, which reversed, and got an excellent outcome after it was sent back to district court for trial. In my opinion it was his persistence and knowledge that brought about results.

I want to convey another positive experience with RLG. I don't know how she does it, but when Stacey answers the phone, she makes me laugh and puts me at ease. Even in what most feel are stressful circumstances, she is able to make me laugh and bring humor to my day.
I wanted to highlight the excellent service and professionalism I have received from your staff - Marc Jeray.
I have been in litigation on and off with my ex-husband for 10 years and I have witnessed my fair share of law firm "office" management gone awry.
Not only is Andrew Italia responsive, but Marc is on the ball and handles the "office" aspects with professionalism, accuracy and efficiency.
Andrew and Marc stand out as having the strategic and organizational acumen that has been helpful in my litigation.

Adam Frank is an immigration lawyer I would recommend to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and honest lawyer! He has provided support to my case from the J-1 waiver to get a green card. At the first consultation, Adam exhibited a profound understanding of immigration law and a genuine commitment to my case. He took the time to carefully explain the intricacies of the process, addressing all my questions with patience and clarity. He has thought strategically and has provided solutions in challenging situations for the past five years. Even after I left Maryland, he continued to work with me. He is very reliable and client-oriented. His expertise was evident as his firm navigated the complexities of immigration and legal requirements, ensuring that all documentation was meticulously prepared and submitted on time. Also, his staff was very supportive and responsive. Thanks to their dedicated efforts, my petition application was approved smoothly. I highly recommend Adam, as he is very skilled, combining legal acumen with exceptional client care!

Ms. Fait is the absolute worst attorney. She represented me and was unethical, dishonest, she literally lied to me soo much. I had a custody case with my husband that had been going on for years and I needed a strong attorney and I thought I had found that when I read the google reviews for Fait & Dilima. I figured out that they are just dishonest and willing to do whatever it take to "win." The only issue was that they had me lie in my case and they literally didn't read their previous motions and their new motions said a different story. I ended up losing my case for a number of reasons and all of them point back to Ms. Fait and her team! 1. She had me lie and told me that it was fine and that I had her 2. The judge and the plaintiff's attorney pointed out the inaccuracies in the stories based on the motions alone as the stories didn't match up! All of that is Ms. Fait and her firms fault! 3. Ms. Fait & her team did not prepare me properly for court and the cross examination by plaintiff's counsel. I am a well educated individual and I should have never worked with her and her firm... They are grossly negligent and they simply do not care about their clients! It is all about the $ for her!

Do yourself a favor and look for another attorney. She only cares about money and not what's actually right with the case. And she doesn't pay attention to detail but will turn around and back charge you for her mistakes.

Adam made the closing process incredibly easy. Prior to my closing, Peak Settlements was very communicative, ensuring I had all the necessary documents, signatures, and information. They were responsive through emails, moved quickly, and answered all of my questions. Adam checked in with me prior to the closing and made sure I was all set with everything that I needed to have, including knowing exactly where I was going. During the closing itself, Adam had all the necessary paperwork ready and organized and as a first time homebuyer, he went through all the items carefully with me making sure that I understood everything I was signing and encouraged me to reach out if I had any additional questions. He moved through the documents efficiently and created a welcoming and jovial environment that made the whole process easy. I would recommend Peak Settlements and Adam to anyone and everyone.

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.
