"First , I’d like to express how vastly and very family Sensitive my case was....far from common.
Mr, Christopher was nothing short of extraordinary, with work on the highest level of professionalism, promptness, thoroughness and when time came for my Trial, Attorney Christopher was amazing in presenting all and nothing but hard facts aggressively!
I had a very difficult separation and Christopher was there in my court the whole way! He was very firm yet level headed and helped me keep my cool at times. I had 2 young boys involved , postnuptial agreement and he always gave sound advice not only regarding the divorce but regarding life after the divorce. It was a pleasure and I would definitely recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thanks again for all the help! Greatly appreciated."

I can't say enough wonderful things about Mr. Pracitto. I am an attorney myself who was in need of his services for a family law matter. He was able to help me resolve all of my problems. He was thorough, responsive, and sensitive to my situation. He is one of the few family law attorneys whom I know that are so well respected by everyone in the legal community-Judges and attorneys alike. He is not the kind of attorney who will unnecessarily waste his client's time and money for his own benefit. He truly cares about resolving your situation in the most efficient manner possible. If you're looking for a great family attorney look no further. This intelligent and honest attorney is all you need!!! I will continue to use his services and recommend him a million times to anyone who needs a family lawyer!

Christopher Pracitto is an amazing lawyer and he was hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the satisfactory resolution seemed highly impossible. Not only was he able to defend us from an unfair situation but also for our monetary situation. My children and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Christopher Pracitto for family services 100%.

I can not express how much I appreciate this team. I had horrible experiences with two attorneys who basically just stole my money, and as a struggling single mother, this was the hardest time of my life. When I came to Diane, within just a day or two everything turned around!! They got on it right away and started moving things forward in court. Things that were taking MONTHS for the other attorneys to do, Diane and her daughter got it done!!! She truly fights for what is right. I would recommend her with my eyes closed. Thank you so much for how you have helped my family. It meant everything to me.

The law office of Mr. Hanreck is very professional, on time, approachable and extremely reachable. They are great with communicating and getting back to you. I had to go to trial and Mr. Hanreck did a phenomenal job. Michelle Williams is also an incredible asset as she answered all my questions even walked me through filling out documents when I had some questions and didn’t know entirely how to. Extremely affordable and professional with their invoices in every detail.

To put this in words it will not fully convey the appreciation I have for Sandy and his team. During the most difficult time in my life Sandy provided me with extraordinary legal expertise but more importantly the emotional support that I needed. His entire team (Aileen Sinclair, my angel in disguise) was always available, transparent, dependable, and extremely compassionate. They were exactly what I needed, and I can't express the gratification, admiration, and appreciation I have for all of them. Thank you, Sandy, Aileen, and team.!

I cannot express how grateful I am for the exceptional legal representation provided by Rier Jordan Law. They have helped me with multiple cases, and I could not have asked for a more dedicated and professional law firm. From the very beginning, Dayna Clark and Andrew Rier demonstrated a deep understanding of the law and an unwavering commitment to my cases. Although, at times I was a bit of a headache with my concerns they took time to explain every step of the process, making sure I was fully informed and comfortable with all decisions. Always available to answer my questions, Ms. Clark's communication was clear, timely and thorough. Thanks to Ms. Clark & Mr. Rier, I achieved favorable results in all my cases. Their expertise, dedication and genuine care for my well-being made all the difference. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this law firm to anyone in need of top-notch legal representation! Thank you both for your outstanding service and for helping me through a challenging time with confidence and success.

It has been a pleasure working with attorney Michael Braxton. He was able to have my DUI dropped to reckless driving. Mike answered all of my phone calls and text message in a timely manner. If he was unable to answer my calls, he always responded in a text and we made a time to connect. He truly was available when I needed him.
Parks & Braxton administrative assistants were also very helpful with my inquiries. They are very professional and committed to their clients.
I highly recommend Parks&Braxton they definitely represented me and my needs.

I do not think there are enough words to express how grateful I am to have hired Elida Morin as my attorney. She is very knowledgeable in every aspect of family practice.
Elidas professionalism, expertise, and unwavering support made a challenging time much more manageable for me and my family.
She always gave me the best advice not just as my lawyer but also as a friend that wanted me to save time and money and pick the right battles to fight.
What truly sets Elida apart is her compassion and empathy. She took the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and provide reassurance during moments of uncertainty. Her dedication to advocating for my rights and advocating for the best interests of my family never wavered, and I am grateful for her unwavering support throughout the entire process.
From our initial consultation to the final resolution, Elida demonstrated a deep understanding of the complexities of family law and provided invaluable guidance every step of the way. Her strategic approach to negotiations and her ability to advocate on my behalf ensured that my interests were protected and that I achieved a fair and favorable outcome.
Elida is very straight-forward and transparent in the communication. She guided me through the whole process and did not let me make mistakes that would have costed me a lot.

During my consultations, David has always provided the level of confidence I was expecting. Not only did he help me through my child custody case, but he fought my case as if I were a part of his family. My ex-wife is extremely spiteful, vindictive, lied up till the end and did everything to try to make my life miserable. She even had opposing counsels (yes, with an s) employ unethical tactics to try to make me give up including dragging the case on and on. Yet I always felt that my needs were met, and that David was invested in me and my case. He is easily accessible, and is very responsive via e mail and phone whenever I had questions, and was compassionate when I was stressed. There were several instances where I walked into his office with a major concern and no appointment, which he helped resolve right away, leaving me feeling confident and secure when I left. In court, David is aggressive, concise and very powerful with his words leaving no stone unturned, which got me the results that were in my son’s best interest. This has not been easy for me emotionally nor financially but David made sure to be there for me and made things smoother. I highly recommend David Margolesky for Divorce Cases/Custody Battles.

My boyfriend has a family case which we wasn't knowledgeable about. We reached out to Mr. Fisher for a phone consultation and he was very pleasant, patient, a good listener and most of all very professional. He answered all our questions and direct us on what to do going forward you would have thought he already handling the case. Even after he gave us that consultation over the phone we needed some clarity on a few things, so I called back and made a second appointment for another in person consultation. Again Mr. Fisher sat with us diligently and answer every questions and concerns we had.. I strongly recommend this lawyer he deserved 10 stars . Remeber this experience is just for a consultation. It was a breathe of fresh air. Kudos Mr. Fisher.

From consultation I knew Jacquie and I would work well together. Her tenacity, ethics, and overall guidance made the worst experience of my life the best it could be! Her team is awesome. They kept me organized, informed, and had the knowledge to answer most questions in the rare occasion that Jacquie was not available. My daughter is now 5 years old and I still Jacquie pictures because I owe the relationship I have with my daughter to Jacquie’s relentless pursuit to allow me to be the father I wanted to be!

Jacquie and her entire team were a blessing during a difficult time. Her team was humbling, as well as extremely professional and patient when explaining court processes, procedures, and options. There was never a moment when I felt unsure about what was going on which I appreciated beyond measure. From the very first meeting with her I valued her honesty and fighting stance, she wasn’t just in my corner supporting me during the divorce, she was ensuring that I got the best possible outcome at the end of the case. I don’t imagine divorces to be easy for anyone, but Jacquie and her team succeeded in making it a less horrible experience lol. I don’t think I’d ever get married again and then divorced but if it were ever to happen Jacquie would be the first person I contact. Her brilliant team and work ethic are beyond efficient and productive. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in need of a divorce. Jacquie doesn’t just fight for you, it feels like she’s fighting with you. It’s that minor difference that makes her presence and assistance all the more worthwhile.

Ada Llerena has been such a
Blessing to me. About 10 years ago, I was going through a difficult divorce, and then I met this wonderful attorney Ada Llerena.
Ada is a very competent and professional attorney who always has his clients’ best interest in mind. Throughout this difficult time of my life, Ada helped me plan steps to get to the right place. Today, I live in Paris with my new husband and very happy. I couldn’t get to that happy place without Ada’s help. There is no better attorney to help you navigate that crossroads than Ada Llerena. I recommend Ada Llerena to everyone who is at crossroads in their lives. Ada I am still very grateful for your help at that very difficult time. When people ask me how I made the switch, I tell them “God had blessed me with the best attorney.”

She was always available and was very patient answering all my questions. The day at the Court, which was the most difficult part for me, I felt very supported and well represented by her. Thank you very much, Marisol! I really appreciate it!

I had an Uncontested Divorce. This was the first time ever doing anything with a legal process so I knew absolutely nothing beyond what I could find on the Internet. Marisol took me through all the steps plus any extra possibilities that could pop up during a divorce. The exchange of paperwork done was majority done via email and e-filing which saves a lot of time and extremely convenient. I was very nervous going into court but she reassured me through the whole thing. Even though there was a bit of a hiccup at the end due to my residency being a few days too new(on my FL ID) for the requirements the judge asked for residing proof with witness. My amazing lawyer got the papers for me, I got it filled out and sent it via email to her which she e-filed to the respected persons at the court house. Thankfully we met the deadline even with my late start. The process in its entirety took from late December to March 14th to have the final Judgment. (That includes consultation & confirming insurance to figure out costs). My ex is military so there's other procedures needed but I bypassed a lot not asking for anything in the divorce but I was informed regardless to make a better decision for myself.
Whether you are the old school face to face or the modern tech user she can accommodate you. Experienced or not she will carry you through with anything and everything you need specific to your unique case. If I have any need for a lawyer in the future I will definitely be contacting Ms. Cruz!

- 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.

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.

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.
