Mr. Mancebo represented me on a situation where I was a party to a guarantee that ended up being wrongfully obtained. Prior to Mr. Mancebo's involvement, I was represented by another attorney who missed the key issues of my case. When Mr. Mancebo became involved, he honed in on the crux of the issues and was able to resolve the case favorably for me in short order and economically. Throughout the process, Mr. Mancebo kept me informed and was resolute in my defense. I would highly recommend Mr. Mancebo and his firm, Mancebo Law, P.A.

Mr. Mancebo provided concise and tailored methods to help facilitate a quick and efficient resolution to my issue. From inception, he focused in on the crux of the issue and created a plan of attack to deal with the main issue in order to allow the smaller and less important issues to resolve themselves, while all the time being very considerate for my bottom line. Notwithstanding the fact that he worked within my budget, he never faltered on his representation of me nor did I feel that I received less because of what I was able to pay. I would highly recommend Mr. Mancebo and his staff at Mancebo Law.

Granda and Assoc are nothing short of exceptional. Being in a custody case for over 13 years, I could not find an attorney who took the time and commitment to actually "learn" my case and understand what my children and I had been going through for so long. Those other attorneys did not take 5 minutes to remember my daughters names even after years with them. I hired 2 attorneys at different times throughout the years hoping one would understand how detrimental my ex was to our lives, health and peaceful living. They did not.
I then hired Granda and Assoc. Stephanie is a gem. Caring, understanding, but also extremely firm, hardcore and relentless in pursuit to our safety.
The entire Granda team was a pleasure through years of working on my case. 4 years on my case and after our final hearing my children and I are safe, I was awarded full custody and parental responsibility.
I would absolutely recommend this firm to each and every person going through a difficult time (especially with their attorney).

I had three different events in which I needed legal representation in the last three years. I have met a lot of attorneys these past few years and the only one I would recommend is Octavio. Octavio has saved my life. I thank him and I'm in debt because in the times I did not know where to turn he was honest, he was fully committed to helping me overcome the problems I encountered, and he gave me the best service. You don't have to chase after him. He always does what he promises. He is easily accessible by phone and email. I feel that he is worth much more than the fees I paid. My first name is Juan. He knows who I am. I give permission to have my cases discussed with anyone that seeks his advice. My cases were very complex and difficult. You will be shocked to know that Octavio overcame all obstacles, he put the time into my cases, and won in court for me several times. Not only did he win, he made the other attorney look like a rookie. I felt embarrassed for the other attorney. He fights hard. He doesn't give you a sales pitch like most attorneys out there before they get your money and then treat your case like he is doing you a favor. He is a good person and a great lawyer and you can tell right away after meeting him.
Bottom line: I will recommend Octavio to any family member or friend and I will always seek his legal advice if I ever need it.
He did absolutely everything right. He was supportive and he truly cared about the consequences of my situation. Never late. Perfect experience.
He has helped me with a divorce case, 2 domestic violence cases, and a real state case. Absolutely satisfied every time.

Brenda Shapiro saved my child's life. She represented me so well that I was able to obtain custody of my child when everyone said it was impossible. Outspent by my former spouse, through Brenda's skill we won the custody battle. She handled every part of my case with a high level of skill and professionalism.

Just the facts, mam... I was surprisingly pleased when Guillermo Mascaro represented me. He said to me: "if they want to play hard ball then so be it!"
In person he's a concerned straight shooter (possibly the last one left), and in the courtroom a confident and voracious bulldog emerges from behind his well mannered demeanor.
During my case he intently consulted with me and represented me from a position of power without compromising my interest, even in a challenging court setting!

Stephanie Rogers was by far the best state provided lawyer that I have ever had! She was in my opinion harder working than any private lawyer I have ever paid for! She always kept in contact with me and was always available to talk. She always responded promptly to emails, phone calls and text messages. She truly had my side! She also paid attention to everything that I said. She went above and beyond to make sure I was heard and got custody back of my beautiful son! I can't thank Mrs. Rogers enough for the help she gave me, the advice and best of all helping me to win back the custody of my baby boy!

If you're anything like me and all you have is a great business idea and limited to know knowledge of how to get going and legally get your business on the right track you have got to speak to Ms. Hilliard! Not your typical lawyer, you know the long winded jargon that regular people don't understand. I'm a baker, not an attorney or legal anything by any means! She took my small kitchen start up and gave me all the facts, and guidance I could have ask for without the intimidation and over the top unnecessary long hours of billing. Her process is simple, she starts you off with a questionair and fully dives into your goals and direction. I feel fully confident in our decisions to not just protect my business but create my brand. This is a one stop shop!

I can’t express how grateful I am to have found Aislynn. Changing jobs is a daunting process and being “legally naive” makes it nerve racking. Aislynn was an irreplaceable asset to negotiate my new work contract. Her knowledge of business coupled with her ability to listen and quickly implement my needs proved invaluable. Aislynn took the time to truly understand the case, paid attention to every detail and was effective in every interaction with my new employer. Her legal advice delivered the exact result I wanted to achieve! Best of all - she was supportive and encouraging throughout the entire process.

He and his tean of professionals are prompt; courteous; fair; understanding; patient; caring; clear speaking; precise with his legal strategis; provides great legal counsel when you urgently need only a legal guidance. He has handled so far two of my landlord-tenant issues with great judgement and knowledge of the landlord-tenant laws and has helped me resolve both issues peacefully and within a timely manner.
Whenever you need any kind of help whether it is just legal counsel on what you need to do with a matter with your currenr or future rental, Mr. Ortega will fight for your right until the end, and give you the best advise towards the best outcome of you case.

Upon the retirement of our long term previous business council and family attorney it was with absolute recommendation from him that we retained Joe as our representative. From our initial introduction Joe and his team have been approachable, attentive and responsive.
Apart from being a gentleman, Joe is a veteran advocate, formidable litigator and proven trial counsellor. Joe has a professional, knowledgeable and caring hands on team supporting him with all the skill sets found in large multi-office practices. I can’t express enough how satisfying it’s been working with Joe and his Practice Manager Katherine. I’m rest assured that between Joe and Katherine our matters whether simple or complex are handled professionally and with extreme knowledge and care. I, without hesitation highly recommend this firm.

I once hired Woody Clermont to represent me in a personal injury case where a store employee injured me while mixing paint. Mr. Clermont was extremely diligent and knowledgeable as he worked up the case, and began to work on getting me a good settlement. I also have sought his legal advice in reference to some criminal matters that arose as well, and his advice helped with a not guilty verdict in one case, and a dismissal in the other. I happily recommend him.

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.
