Jose Gutierrez here, grateful to share my release from federal prison after serving 19 1/2 years, facilitated by the First Step Act. Having originally received a 40-year sentence set to expire in 2039 for a drug case. My heartfelt and profound appreciation to my attorney Justin Eisele and the Seddiq Law team, whose tireless and pursuit of justice, but more importantly with expertise, served my freedom. Their unwavering advocacy during each procedure is a testament to their commitment and, tenaciously, will fight for your rights, just as they did for me.

Justin was great! I had a case that was very unsettling & had no luck with my previous attorneys making progress. Justin got my case & within a day was prompt to communicate & advocate for me. All in all Justin got my case dismissed & helped walk me through the process of getting it expunged from my record. Thanks so much Justin I’ll definitely use him again if i need an attorney in the future!

I am one offspring from one of Drazin’s clients.
I was torn away from my family. Having already lived in complete instability, things would only progress to be exponentially worse than I could have ever imagined. I didn’t have a parent. Providing the bare minimum in financial aspects is not parenting. I had to raise myself, along with my other siblings who have been desperately trying to make lives for themselves on their own. I feel bad. I feel bad for any child who has to deal with the tumultuous horrors of what they were supposed to call home. He “won” because he was able to pay for it. Because he was privileged enough to afford someone who could very easily tear down an already broken woman. I am ashamed that you take pride in this, Drazin.
I am now putting myself through college and fighting for my life- alone. The father that you rewarded custody to, I was afraid of. I am trying to reverse 18 years of immeasurable emotional and physical damage.
But you got paid. You won the case. What more could you ask for?

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Gabriel Christian, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service I received. From the start, he and his team demonstrated professionalism, deep knowledge of the law, and a clear understanding of my case.
What stood out the most was his attention to detail and the time he took to explain every step of the legal process in a way that made me feel informed and confident. He consistently communicated updates, answered my questions promptly, and provided realistic expectations, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
Mr. Christian went above and beyond to ensure that my case was handled with the utmost care, and the results exceeded my expectations. His expertise and strategic thinking were key to achieving a favorable outcome. His whole team were amazing; Tanto, Usman and Ms. Brooks all made it a team effort in resolving my case.
I highly recommend Mr. Christian for anyone seeking legal representation. You will be in capable, trustworthy hands!

STAY AWAY FROM ANY FIRM THAT EMPLOYS KELLY KILROY! She knew she was going to be disbarred and still took our case. We lost huge amount of money because of missed opportunities. She was too focused on saving herself. She would have lost malpractice lawsuit but "had no assets." (This is our opinion based on the facts we experienced).

Bill Blackford is excellent, thorough, pleasant to deal with, and and a good communicator. He provided legal consultation to my small business on matters ranging from employee matters and contracts with independent contractors to fighting subpoenas when the requested information is HIPAA-protected confidential patient information. This was earlier in his career, and when he didn't know something pertaining to my business, he researched it carefully rather than offering a less-than-fully-informed off-the-cuff legal opinion. I'll bet all that research over the years means he seldom has to look much up anymore. I highly recommend him.

I hired Mr. Mahood after PL hearing, previous attorney really messed up my case, and when Mr. Mahood took over my case that seems so impossible to win. The moment he took over my case, at that point, I started realizing the mistakes on my case. Mr. Mahood took over my case and started researching and providing advice and recommendation to help my case.
Mr. Mahood is very knowledgeable, intelligent, confident and most importantly, he is very caring and passionate. It is very important you take his advice serious and most importantly during my case, Mr. Mahood kept an open communication and was very open and available to talk anytime. I will recommend Mr. Mahood to anyone looking for a good attorney.

Dave was my lawyer in a modification of child custody and visitation case. From the moment I spoke to him, I felt that I was in good hands. He sprang to action on short notice for an initial hearing and continued to be responsive and communicative throughout the entire journey. His grace and integrity are unparalleled. He helped me maintain perspective, answered all my questions, and informed me of all realistic possibilities. He’s steady, patient and calm – but also, strong and fierce in an understated way. Thanks to Dave, my children know that I will always stand up for them and that they can have faith in the justice system. I highly recommend Dave to anyone dealing with a child custody case and I would hire him again in a heartbeat if the need ever arises again.

I was recently represented by Jessica at the Holland Law Firm in a collection lawsuit defense. From the process of booking a consultation, to that first meeting itself, and all the following communication and time in court, my experience was wonderful. It was overwhelming to be presented with a summons and then research the case, trying to figure out how--or even if--I should defend myself. The ease of the intake process as a client helped during my rattled state in the early days of the lawsuit, and the Holland team put my mind at ease with realistic projections of what might happen if I took various paths in the lawsuit. They were able to quickly identify steps that needed to be taken, which was good since this was a "large" case with more complicated case law than standard/smaller claims. On top of that, they were able to get the plaintiff to drop their case altogether! Best possible outcome. Easily the best money I ever spent was in securing their representation; their professionalism and knowledge saved my mental health, my finances, and gave me hope after I'd given up.

I cannot recommend Sharon Diamant strongly enough. I consulted with her in early 2022, and her approach was refreshing, real and utterly straightforward. She did not sugarcoat what sort of results she could produce, and she was very straightforward in giving me all of my options.
Sharon always got back to me when I texted her. If she was in Court, she said so. She met with me on my schedule, which usually included Saturday mornings.
When we were in Court, she was organized and prepared. My custody case actually wound up going before a Judge, and she presented my case in a methodical and easy-to-follow way. She simplified a very complex process.
She appears to be incredibly well-liked by her colleagues and the Court, and it was clear to me she is well-respected.
I was very impressed by her calm, rational and reasoned demeanor. She answered every question I had and was never condescending, nor did she ever make me feel like I wasn't the most important client she had.
On a personal note, Sharon is an absolute sweetheart. She always insisted I call her by her first name, and it is very clear this lawyer has no ego. She is there to get a job done.
I don't recommend divorce, but if you have to go through a divorce or custody case, you cannot go wrong with Sharon.
I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER.

Sharon is one of the best family attorney that America has ever produced that I've worked with. During my first meeting, she explained everything to me from the beginning to the end that i could understand and she was very involved and responsive to all of my questions in my divorce case. She represented me until I finally got my divorce. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable, caring and family lawyer, at a reasonable price, than call the law office of Diamant Gerstein, LLC, and specifically ask for Sharon Diamant, Esquire. She's one of the "BEST" family lawyer that I had retained and I highly recommend her because she gets the job done in a timely manner.

I live in South Carolina. My granddaughter lives in Maryland. I am a grandmother and great grandmother. Retired for over 20 years and I explained my dilemma as a retiree working on a budget. She was extremely understanding and worked with me to come up with a financial plan.
Thank you; your staff and Erin for the assistance with this difficult case
to ensure the best outcome possible.
As I mentioned before, I am so grateful to have found you to represent and advocate for my granddaughter. Although she and I knew that you were passionate about your work and very thoughtful of her continuing on with her life throughout this case, we both knew what had to be done in order for her to realize that she was not going to be exonerated from all of the charges. Sharon also worked me from

I had the pleasure of working with Radha Ramanathan and was thoroughly impressed with her professionalism and expertise. From the very beginning, she was responsive and approachable, taking the time to explain my case in detail. Her clear advice and guidance throughout the process made me feel well-informed and confident in my decisions. Radha’s ability to simplify complex legal concepts was especially valuable, and I always felt reassured that I was in good hands. The dedication and care she put into my case went beyond my expectations, and as a result, I achieved a positive outcome. I highly recommend Radha to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, compassionate, and highly skilled family lawyer.

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You

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.

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.

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.

- 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.
