Michele Da Silvia is by far the best attorney out there. When my husband and I were preparing for his green card application, Michele made sure that we had everything in order. She was very professional, had taken so much time with us, and answered every question we asked. She calmed our nerves and made us feel confident that we were in good hands. And let me tell you, we were. I would have never expected such a smooth experience with immigration the way we did had it not been with Da Silva Law Group. She really cares about her clients, and only wants the best outcome for you. It’s experiences like these that will bring me back to her when we have to remove the conditions of our green card in two years! Thank you for everything!

I felt very supported and reinsured in the whole process. Kathy in the office is very friendly. Thank you! Thank you!

I retained Romeo Adams for a labor matter. I am very grateful for the thorough, imaginative, and highly professional manner in which he represented me. He helped achieve my goals. Different issues kept popping up and resolution to each roadblock was accomplished. At each step, he gave me very good advice after listening carefully to what I wished to accomplish. He was always available when a new problem arose, and kept me calm throughout each of them. He carefully explained his actions on my behalf. I had complete confidence in his advice and respect him immensely. I am very happy that a friend recommended Mr. Adams to me and I would enthusiastically recommend him to others.

I hired attorney Carima to handle my case. She was great. Christine is very knowledgeable was always professional and prepared. I know nothing about divorce and was scared and upset. She id very easy to talk to and calmed me down; answered all my questions. She got me the best outcome that I could have asked for. I have children and she explained that throughout life, as the needs of the kids and myself change, there may come a time to modify my divorce. I will be calling her again to handle that. I will be hiring her to take care of a civil matter as well. She also handles civil matters.

I contacted Ms. Carima in regards to an custody ruling from another state. She was extremely helpful in explaining what needed to be done to enforce the ruling in Massachusetts. She worked diligently and efficiently to provide us with the correct information, keeping in daily contact with us. She was knowledgeable and professional, while also bringing a personal feel to the situation. From my first contact with her to our successful retrieval of the child, she was there with us, every step of the way. I highly recommend her for any child custody issue you may need.

Anton Reinert represented me in a long divorce process. He invariably responded to me in a timely manner with exactly the amount of information I needed to feel less worried and clear-minded. This ability to trust him and his guidance improved my quality of life during a difficult time. I appreciated his integrity in guiding me toward a solution that best matched my means and my interests. He is not a lawyer who wants to keep things going to make more money. I interviewed a number of attorneys before hiring him and believe he has a refreshing, efficient, approach in an aggressive arena. Anton has an air-tight understanding of the law and ethics that go along with the law. He also offers availability for communication at any inquiry and has a kind manner that isn't required, but that helps; especially at a difficult point in anyone's life. Working with Anton is easy. Anton's approach makes you want to rise to meet the situation, handle it well, and come out as a better person.

Anton took on my case mid stream after I replaced my first attorney for poor performance when most others would have not giving the complexity of my case. He also was up against a very uncooperative and devious other side. Anton knows trust real estate law very well. He also has great patience and doesn't get excited during what is a stressful and emotional time. I am grateful that he took me on and satisfied with how my case settled.

I live with my children in India, and my Ex-husband filed for divorce in the US in 2020. I was searching for legal assistance in the USA for my divorce and family law case. I had the wonderful fortune to find a very remarkable lawyer who went above and beyond to assist me. Despite being far away, Ms. Erica Foster gave my case her undivided attention, exhibiting unparalleled skill and compassion throughout.
The extent of Ms. Erica's knowledge of family law and divorce proceedings was astounding. She carefully looked into every facet of my case to ensure that justice was done. Ms. Erica Foster's remarkable presenting abilities were what really made her stand out. She confidently articulated to the court the intricacies of my case, leaving no doubt in their minds. Her ability to clearly state important aspects and foresee objections ensured that my case was as strong as feasible.
Despite residing in two separate countries and time zones, Ms. Erica Foster was available and attentive throughout the process, answering any questions or concerns I had immediately. Whether you are a US citizen or not, I heartily suggest her services to anybody needing a committed and skilled family and divorce attorney.

Attorney Foster is a highly competent and experienced attorney that "gets it" from the client's perspective. She's direct and results driven, not interested in wasting your time and money. (The antithesis of lawyers who run out the clock speaking to issues of high emotion but little impart.)
In my divorce we faced a lot of nonsense from the other side and having an attorney that won't entertain that and brings none of their own helped me keep costs down and ultimately hold the line right where it should be.

I have been fortunate to have Erica "on my side" on two occasions. She is extremely responsive, has precise communication and does not attempt to "ad-lib" as many attorneys do. Not once did Erica loose sight of my goals as a single parent and she fought bravely for my twins and myself. She completely understood both the legal and emotional side of my high conflict divorce and I can report with confidence you will be happy with her abilities!

Lindsey Straus recently assisted our retail business with trademark issues. She was referred to us by our local chamber of commerce and we are so glad to have had her expertise and experience guiding us. She is extremely thorough, very responsive and advised on all the legal issues involving a trademark. We had met with others re: our trademark and chose The Law Office of Lindsey Straus to represent us, and we definitely made the right decision. Highly recommend!

Lindsey prepared trusts, last will and testaments, powers of attorney, trustees certificates and health care proxies for my wife and me. She was extremely expedient but thorough and prepared all these documents for a third of the price of a Hyannis lawyer who had quoted the job. Her handling of our personal preferences for last rites was particularly compassionate.

A few short years ago my company ran into an egregious trademark and copyright infringement. In reviewing local attorneys, I discovered Ms Straus had extensive experience in the field and hired her. Despite the complexity of the case, we achieved a resounding success and very quickly. We again ran into yet another similar infringement in the past couple months so I called upon Attorney Straus yet again. And again, in a matter of only a couple weeks she was able to shut down the violation and bring it to a quick resolve. Not only that, it ended up not costing me a penny. Should we find ourselves confronted with yet another ne'er-do-well attempting to steal our IP down the road, be assured we know who to call. I recommend anyone else do the same.

I had the pleasure of having Mrs. Roman as my lawyer for two separate affairs. One being as an immigration lawyer, I cant express enough all the things she did for us. Not one day would go by and I wasn't contacted by her or her office. At the completion of our case she continued to check to make sure with us that all was going okay. VERY PROFESSIONAL. The second occasion, was my divorce. I called her and within 2 days i was in her office starting my process. She is efficient and very through in her dealings with " the other side". I was living in another state and she made everything EASY! I was and will always count on her for her help and she is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as a great lawyer to all i know.

Michael Reinhardt is a fantastic attorney to whom I will be forever grateful. He is friendly, caring, capable and experienced. I messed up badly several year’s ago and was caught red-handed, in the act. I was arrested, jailed, and charged with a felony criminal offense that carried a mandatory minimum sentence of eighteen months imprisonment. The outcome - guilty - seemed inevitable, and I dreaded the consequences. Michael Reinhardt represented me during the many court appearances I had to make. He explained the various stages of the judicial proceedings, and contacted me regularly to discuss progress and the strategy he was following to best defend me.
Remarkably, after much consultation and discussions, Michael managed to have the charges against me dropped altogether - to my immense relief of not just me, but my entire family, all of whom had been living under a cloud of anxiety. I cannot thank Michael enough for literally giving me back my life. I’ve changed a lot since then and intend to stay far away from trouble in the future. Although I hope not to need Michael’s help in the same way again, I know who to call if ever I do!

I'm was going through a very difficult divorce and Maura's initial consultation showed me she was an excellent lawyer. After multiples lawyers and thousands of dollars spent before Maura, I was fortunate to have Maura Melcher Family Law representing me in my divorce and child custody case. Maura and her team helped me determine what was in the best interest for my son and consistently directed me in the right direction for the best possible outcome. Maura was a dedicated knowledgeable professional with a practical yet creative approach to family law negotiations. She made progress in all our challenging situations while protecting and caring for us. Maura and her team helped me stick to our plan, which in return allowed us to obtain custody of my son, I will always be grateful for the way she professionally managed to obtain the end result we were all hoping for. I’ll always refer the Melcher Family Law team to anyone who is looking for an educated, straightforward and honest family law group. Maura, I can’t thank you enough for helping me through this challenging situation. You are a Champion!! I would highly recommend Maura with any of your family law needs.

I hired Attorney Nicole D. Sullivan in 2016 after suffering damage to my C-spine in a fall at work which required 3 discs to be fused with rods and screws to stabilize the vertebrae. In the same fall I was knocked out which caused a concussion and damaged both hips which were totally replaced in coming years. I was forced to retired early and my employer tried to deny my injuries were work related even though they sent me to Lawrence General Hospital via ambulance. They even refused to pay the ambulance cost until Attorney Sullivan pushed the issue. I am now receiving an Accidental Disability Retirement benefit that started in January of 2023. It was a long road with many medical procedures and Attorney Sullivan made sure I was paid and all medical bills paid! I will never be pain free but, my quality of life is better thanks to the offers of Attorney Sullivan and her associates. Highly recommended for workers comp issues!

We learned a out this only qhen the company dumped the panels in our yard.Nick quickly created a letter demanding damages for emotional distress, prompting the solar company to call is to find out "how to make this go away." We settle the matter quickly.

Robert J. Rivers , Jr. - Lee & Rivers LLP
Attorney Rivers – Excellent service and excellent attorney. His strength domains include:
• Communication ability: brilliant
• Responsiveness: outstanding
• Quality of service: brilliant
• Value for money: excellent
I hired Lee & Rivers LLP while I was going through my divorce in 2012. Since the beginning of my case, Attorney Rivers had the knowledge and patience for all my calls and visits to his office. His lawyer's service and relationship skills were above my expectations and beyond what was described to me by a friend of mine. He was exactly what I wanted: knowledgeable, well connected, fierce and effective. Initially, he reviewed my case and guided me throughout the process. Attorney Rivers and his office staff were incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating! They were very prompt in all correspondence and kept us informed every step of the way. Made our family feel very valued, respected and represented at their fullest capability!
I can't say enough positive things. From the very first meeting they helped me with a difficult situation. I would recommend Robert J. Rivers, Jr. from Lee & Rivers LLP to anyone needing help with a problem in the scope of family law litigation.

Bob Rivers is a brilliant, hard working, savvy and compassionate attorney who has tremendous expertise in Family Law. My case was financially complicated and Bob worked hard to enforce my rights. He was relentless in pursuing every avenue available for getting me the best possible outcome. Bob knows when and whom to enlist in outside help when necessary, as in my case, an equally talented forensic accountant. He was always prompt and available when I needed to speak with him. Witnessing Bob's keen mind navigate the very dense and tangled components of my case with tremendous acumen and agility was the silver lining of the horrific ordeal of divorce. He's a valuable asset to his profession!

As you can imagine, the legal matter comes with a huge frustration, a lot of stress and lots of unpleasant time. Sometimes, well most of the time, when we end up in this situation, we can be extremely rude and inpatient. Well, when it comes to hire someone to deal with your problems a lot of times lawyers just saying "ohh, well, don't be a silly jerk just sign it" however this approach is NOT acceptable, it is all about your life in a long time. I have been in that situation but i was lucky enough to find Deborah who isn't just helped me but also explained to me in very fine details all the implication of making one or other decision moving forward, she was so patient with me and helped me to make educated decision and not just a "whatever" approach. I'm so grateful that i have had such lawyer who helped me to deal with a craziness of our laws and next to nothing protection of me as a citizen. To conclude, if you are looking for a solution in your life, long term solution so Deborah A. Katz is your answer and great help. I would recommend her not just a 100% but 200% or even more.

David handled my post-divorce case for six years mostly alone, opposing a team of two attorneys. He was able to deal with my doctors, forensic expert and more. David coped well with pressure and stress. I believe that his vision and ability to strategize were critical to obtaining a satisfactory outcome.
Such pressure on him became impossible in the last year. We reached out to Lorri. She agreed to join, immediately started to study the case, assisted in brain-storming and prepared a quality trial testimony. Lorri's amiable personality was also a positive factor.

David helped me through a very difficult request to amend alimony. As soon as he took my case, I knew I was in good hands. He was very knowledgeable, and responsive. He also made sure that I knew my rights. Without him, I'm sure I would have lost my case. Instead, we had a very favorable response.

I hired Attorney David Feldman to handle my divorce. It was the most difficult and upsetting time in my life but having him as my attorney really helped me to get through it. Attorney Feldman really cares about his clients he makes this process bearable. During the time that my case took to settle David always made himself available to me he was responsive and helpful always explaining each phase of the process. He is knowledge, very experienced and highly skilled. I would recommend him to all of my friends because if they have to deal with this you want someone you can count on.

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.
