You will not find more dishonest people in the business. I was lied to every step of the way. Their office manager smiles to your face while blatantly lying to you. The attorneys are despicable.

You can not trust seigel or rouhana or Cohen with your case. They will not represent you in good faith. The worst mistake of my life was hiring them. For some reason they feel entitled to just take as much money from you as they want without you even knowing. They will never tell you the truth. They work behind the scenes the entire time to damage you. They constantly have complaints filed against them and they don't even care. They are known in the industry as the firm that sells out their own clients. Do not hire them. If you already hired them, Run! You can fire them any time and get a new attorney.

If I could rate with no stars, I would. I had a case opened since June 2023 and no measurable results can be seen. The communication is terrible as far as the legal counsel goes. Every time I call to check on the status of my case, it’s like my case has just been opened and they just found out about it. My mom referred me to this law firm because she used it for workers compensation after being harmed on the job. She didn’t know that they would drag their feet on my car accident case. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this firm to others.

That won't happen to me, I said. I am not of that race, nationality, or ethnicity, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I don’t practice that religion, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I’m not of that sexual orientation, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I’m not part of that income bracket, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I don’t have that disability, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, until it was physically in my face, had me backed into a corner, and was spewing utter vitriol at me. That won't happen to me, I said, he'd never lay a hand on me, until one day the physical aggression caused me physical pain and injury. That won’t happen to me, I said, until thirteen months ago, when I found myself on the phone with a domestic violence hotline. That won’t happen to me, I said, until thirteen months ago, when I found myself hurriedly packing a bag and fleeing my home, and boarding an aircraft out of state, because I feared for my life and safety. Fifty years ago, when my mother and her family escaped their war-torn country with nothing but the clothes on their backs and one bag per person due to religious persecution, I never imagined that one day, fifty years into the future, that I too would one day find myself following in her footsteps, quite literally. I never imagined that I would one day find myself fleeing my home with nothing but the clothes on my back and one small carry-on bag, and boarding a same-day aircraft bound for 1,000+ miles away, because I too feared for my life and safety. Thirteen months ago, when I found myself on the phone with a local domestic violence agency in my state, I never imagined that the proverbial door would get slammed in my face, on the basis that I earned too much money to qualify for any help or support. Since I was born and raised abroad, and with my own family still living halfway around the world, it was in that moment that I truly realized, and that it genuinely sunk in, that I was going to be completely and entirely alone in the process of escaping the cycle of violence. In 1848, divorce was practically unheard of. Most states had fault-based divorce laws outlining the requirements and criteria permitting divorce: lunacy, adultery, desertion, or cruelty. This meant that couples could only pursue divorce IF they could prove, in a court of law, that one or the other had committed one of these offenses. However, given the laws (or lack thereof) governing women's rights and freedoms at the time, divorce was far more complex for women, as they remained at risk of being unable to regain their last names, unable to retain property acquired prior to their marriage, or unable to obtain custody of their children. These fault-based grounds are in stark contrast to the no-fault system that exists across most states today. Today, after decades of tireless advocacy, and thanks to incredible attorneys like Laurie Wasserman and Virginia Yeoman, people are no longer required to remain shackled to their spouses, and have the freedom to escape the cycle of violence. Thanks to the fabulous support of Laurie and Virginia, I've not only been able to survive, but I am slowly on my way to thriving again. The words "happiness" and "divorce" are the last two words you'd expect to see in the same sentence, but that is exactly what Virginia and Laurie have facilitated for me. For anyone considering engaging the services of Laurie Wasserman and her team, from the bottom of my heart, I wholeheartedly recommend them and their entire office. They'll not only save your life, but they will also help re-unlock your door to freedom, health, independence, and joy again.

Before I hired Martha, I was working with another attorney for my divorce process, and I just didn't feel like they were on my side and looking out for my best interests. Someone referred me to Martha White, and once I met with her, I made the decision to end my retainer agreement with my current attorney and hire Martha White. Martha White listened to me and to my concerns and what I wanted out of dissolving my marriage. She was always responsive to my calls or emails and took the time to explain things to me, so that I understood all of terms and possible outcomes of this process. I feel that she helped me reach a fair settlement and I was happy with the final settlement agreement. I wish I would have hired her in the first place. She didn't drag the process out any longer than it needed to be. I was very pleased with her representation of me in my divorce case. If I ever would have another family law issue, she would be the first attorney I would contact. You can't go wrong having Martha White as your attorney.

Brien is very prompt in communicating and has shown genuine concern for my case. He answered my phone call personally, met with me the very next business day, and got to work immediately after consultation. Speaking from personal experience, he’s not just trying to make money off people. Finding a lawyer that has the experience and expertise to navigate my real estate dispute has been a godsend. No one wants to have to hire a lawyer—but I can assure you, he is the one you want if you do need one.

Could not have asked for a better criminal defense attorney! Always available for concerns within a short response time (same day or next). Timely, professional, knowledgeable and familiar with the local officials within local courts. Best of all reasonable pricing compared to other over priced attorneys that in my experience offered less in terms of personally addressing my specific needs as a client. In short, a 3 star price rate for 5 star service! I have no plans on needing future representation but if I do Britt criminal defense will get my call!

Getting a divorce is not an easy thing. It is emotionally draining and sometimes it can be financially draining as well. I never thought that I would ever need a divorce lawyer. When the need came, I didn't know what to do. I found Danels & Ladieri online. I looked through many lawyers before settling on them. I am extremely happy that I did. Mike Danels listened to me during my first meeting (I was a mess). He listened and then told me what was best (and least expensive) for my case. I went with mediation, but Mr. Danels was behind me every step of the way, and some. He looked at my settlement papers, advised me on so many other administrative things. I had an extremely good mediator, but I also had a very good lawyer, solely dedicated to my interests. He was there to represent in court. I don't wish divorce on anybody, but if you find yourself in that situation; don't hesitate to reach out to them. I know I sound like an infomercial, but he helped ensure that I would be secured in my old age and all that without acrimony. That is the thing, civility and dignity was maintained during the whole process. Thank you, Mr. Danels.

Absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service offered by Evans Law! I am impressed by the professionalism and expertise of their team.

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.

The team was with me during the entire process. Stu and his team answered all my calls and questions immediately making me feel like I was their only client. The entire team is intelligent, strategic, compassionate yet aggressive. Stu was on vacation during my last hearing and to my surprise both Stu and Jaime were there. My anxiety always eased when I saw the two of them. I can’t say enough or thank them enough for everything they have done for me. I am forever grateful to this team because of Stu’s forty plus years’ experience, expertise, intelligence, strategic mind, and respect in the law community I can live happily ever after divorce.

Stu’s unwavering support, profound professionalism, and extensive legal expertise were instrumental in successfully closing my case. His impeccable reputation and broad professional network proved to be invaluable assets.

Stu's unmatched availability and responsiveness, no matter the hour or day, demonstrated commendable dedication. Whether it was 3 a.m. on Tuesday, 11 p.m. on Friday, or 7 a.m. on Sunday, he was always there to review the case. Every call was promptly answered, and updates and guidance were provided efficiently. His meticulous attention to detail ensured my case received the care it deserved. I wholeheartedly recommend Stu to anyone seeking a dedicated, highly skilled attorney.

I'll forever regret my decision to hire Barbara Jorgensen as my divorce attorney. I am still suffering from the repercussions. My divorce should have been simple. My ex had a warrant out for his arrest due to a crime against a neighbor. He also had priors and had engaged in many actions causing great risk to me. I'd just been diagnosed with lifelong critical illness but this was pushed into taking on the impossible. The economy had collapsed and the property (that the ex was afraid to go near) was severely upside down in value. He wasn't contributing towards the property payments, and left me with an unmanageable number of expenses that were his responsibility. Barbara Jorgensen ignored all of these circumstances. She even told me that types of support other divorcees were successfully arranging did "not exist" and that his crimes and lack of financial contributions were somehow irrelevant to his demands for money that did not exist. While she may have advocated for her clients back in 1985, both her skills and focus were very outdated decades later. She was often outright condescending towards me as her client and kept confusing my account for another client's who was delinquent in payments. She also told me I had no choice but to continue with tasks and expenses for superfluous actions from my ex's attorney whereas in reality I could have walled away or ignored most of it. It was well known that the mess drained my savings and left me in a literal long-term trap. As a final display of not caring about her clients, she even sent a disruptive and embarrassing younger attorney to court the day my ridiculous divorce agreement was filed. I was leery of most of her decisions but was going off of Washingtonian Magazine's endorsements. This is not an attorney who will advise to your benefit. This is the type of lawyer who still believes that attorneys are automatically respected and assumed to be brilliant, thereby giving them the ability to make up rules and advice that their clients won't question. This may have been the case in 1985 but certainly wasn't by then. With the immature JGL junior attorney solidifying my overall impression, I've steered friends and colleagues away from this firm ever since.

Not only is Victor a people person and very relatable, his work ethic is impeccable. Victor promptly returns all calls and emails, returned several calls on weekends and even a Sunday, called me before traveling out of the country to update me on my legal matter, and completed every task he told me would do. If Victor agrees to take your case, hire him on the spot. I was thrilled with the outcome of my very difficult legal matter. I give Victor 150% credit for my positive outcome. Much gratitude to Victor Berger!

I hired Jac Knust to represent me in a divorce and a domestic violence case. He advertised that his office is in Columbia, but I think that is only to have it look good. All of my meetings were in a dilapidated room attached to his old house. There was a cat there at least three times trying to jump on my lap and interrupting us. When I mailed a check to his Columbia office, they didn’t even know that it was there. They said they don’t get mail at that address. In the middle of my case, Jac decided to take the entire month of February off and go do Florida. He said he had seasonal disorder. In court, when I was on the stand and being cross examined, the lawyer confused me and I gave an incorrect answer. Jac just sat there. Afterwards, I asked him why he did not object. He said something like “I heard you say something, but you mumbled”. Wrong. It was through the court microphone. The judge heard me, the other lawyer heard me. Also, Jac tells the judge that he is hard of hearing and asks everyone to speak up. In my opinion my lawyer’s hard of hearing caused an issue in my case. When I finally decided to drop him and get a better lawyer, he stopped returning my emails. He owed me close to $3,000 and, so far, two business days later, has not returned my calls or emails. Another example: I’m going through a divorce. I made a spreadsheet with all household items and their estimated values. I told Jac about it and he said it would be useful. When I showed it to my new, current lawyer, she said “No, that’s not good at all. You will need a professional property appraiser to document all of the household items.” She new the law. She was very quick with the correct answer. Jac….he just seemed to not know.

we had initial disagreement with Mr. Patel's office regarding the scheduling. Mr. Patel personally took the matter in hand, and now we just finished the consultation. If I have any immigration need or case to be filed future, it will be with Mr. Patel. I did lot of internet research about my immigration case and there were so many elements that were confusing, but Mr. Patel has reasonable explanation for how it works. I apologize to Mr. Patel for premature review.

Please, please, please do not make the mistake of hiring this lawyer. He caused irreparable damage to the case, among other things. Mr. Cos quit my case in a tantrum and put a lien on all of my case files. He didn't like being told that he wasn't doing anything – $25,000 and we hadn't gotten through a scheduling conference. While the grievance that I filed against him was dismissed, there is a significant qualification: My uncle, a retired federal district court judge warned me that nearly all of these grievances are dismissed. In his words, "Lawyers protect their own. Furthermore, they're afraid they'll suffer the same fate if they set a precedent." Mr. Cos confessed to having 3 grievances filed against him. I can't imagine having any filed. In short, Mr. Cos is rude, antagonistic, and seemed to be working for opposing counsel. How he got so many five star ratings I'll never know. I can only speak from my experience.

Chad is a first-class lawyer and just as good a person. I came to see Chad for my divorce and ultimately a bankruptcy. He helped me save my house and made a difficult divorce as bearable as one can be. I was lucky to find him and I endorse him completely. Chad has an empathy and understanding that I have never encountered with other lawyers. He cares about his clients and I couldn't have gotten past this without him.

Dear Attorney Kaczmarek, I want to express my deep gratitude for all your hard work and dedication to my custody case this past year. Your efforts led to a victory that has had a profound impact on my life, and I truly believe you are doing God’s work for honest men like myself. It was an absolute pleasure working with you, sir. Your positive attitude throughout the case was incredibly comforting during a time of great need. I have encountered many attorneys throughout this process, and I can confidently say that you are exceptional. You not only saved my life, but you also helped strengthen my relationship with my son—something I will never be able to repay. This victory will always be a pivotal moment in my life. Last year was difficult time fighting for custody. and it’s time for me to rest and focus on the future. Please extend my thanks to your wife and all of your colleagues for their support. Additionally, I will gladly refer anyone in need of an attorney to you. Thank you again for everything, Attorney Kaczmarek. Beyond the professional aspect, I look forward to staying in touch and saying hello from time to time.

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.
