Mr. Bain fought a serious case for my son, my son was a juvenile at the time facing some charges that would have certified him as an adult, and put my son behind bars for years. But gratefully Mr. Bain fought a good fight and my son came out with 1 year probation and a misdemeanor charge. My sons truth was gratefully clear with the help of Mr. Bain and his good expertise in law. Best Attorney Ever, you have to trust him with your case and your teen's case.

I called Stefanson Law because I needed legal representation in North Dakota and I will be forever grateful that Dan Plambeck returned my call. Dan listened to my story and then immediately went to work researching the background of my case. The communication between us was amazing and there was never a time when I was left waiting or wondering what was happening. He was clear and concise when explaining case details and always resolute in the plan going forward.
Dan is an intelligent and very well-informed attorney who delivers his expertise with compassion and understanding. It’s unfortunate that I never had the pleasure of meeting Dan in person; however, it speaks volumes that I also never experienced a time when I felt that a face-to-face meeting was necessary in order to communicate the seriousness of my issue/situation.
Simply put, you will not regret choosing Dan Plambeck to help guide you through and with any legal matter. Thank you Dan!

Family Law - Child Custody - DV Advocate
Dedication, accuracy, knowledge and support.
As a strong advocate myself for my children in an extremely in-depth and difficult situation, Ms. Jessica Kim took on a lot and walked me through it all with ease. I've had so many questions, and she was always there. The turnaround time was impeccable. I was in absolute shock with this type of dedication and accurate information provided which made our situation less stressful. Jessica isn't doing this as a "job" rather, a career of making sure her clients and their children are well represented to ensure their safety and well-being, as well as everything in between. Ms. Kim shows a great amount of knowledge and integrity as she works with her clients' personal situation and I can not thank her enough for representing my children and myself.
Jessica - Your firm has been a turning point in our lives in every single way while taking into consideration the financial burden one could possibly encounter during these difficult situations. I would (and will continue to) recommend your firm to anyone walking in my shoes. Your heart and soul is in your career, and you're doing this for us that need and rely on someone like you for guidance and support. Again, I appreciate your assistance in everything you do. It does not go unnoticed. Thank you again.

Ms. Oney is a consummate professional and excellent attorney and advocate. I have had a lot of experience with family law attorneys and can say without hesitation, that Julie is the best I have ever dealt with. She is thorough. She knows the law. She can give case law. Further, she genuinely seems to care, without being overly emotional – which is how it should be. I was, and continue to be, very pleased with the outcome of my case. There was never an incident wherein I wasn’t impressed with her responses, strategy, or knowledge. She handled a Stipulation and Order for me – which came after an unfortunate Judgment and Decree. My only regret is not finding her earlier to handle my initial Custody proceedings.
If you are looking for an advocate and attorney that will do an amazing job…look no further – Julie Oney is the one you need!
UPDATE/ADDITION:
Had to use Julie again for a Child Support matter and cannot say enough positive about her and her masterful handling of my matter - she stayed the course and made sure things were done in a way that was far beyond what I could have asked or imagined!

I worked with Lee Orwig and Kailee Gallagher regarding a dog bite case; I appreciate that, despite the high likelihood of settlement, they still gathered evidence and prepared to go to trial. Furthermore, Mr. Orwig handled the negotiations without much effort from me but kept me involved during every step of the settlement process, taking no action without my explicit approval. Kailee was fantastic about reaching out to me for information and was always available if I needed any info.

The staff at Neyens Law are all very personable, patient, and helpful. We were able to set up all our meetings in a timely manner that fit our schedule. The videos we watched prior to each meeting were very helpful in answering questions, and explaining the process. At our in person meetings, our questions and concerns were clearly answered and explained. Any questions sent later by email or text were answered in a timely manner. We easily uploaded necessary documents to our portal, and Elizabeth completed our trust by the deadline we had requested. We know that we or our heirs can contact them at any time in the future. Elizabeth, Sandie, and Meghan were all very welcoming. We felt confident in their business and would not hesitate to recommend this law office to assist in setting up a trust. They also provided great coffee and treats!

When my in-laws died a couple of years ago, I saw firsthand the wisdom they exhibited when they set up a living family trust. That trust helped ease the process of settling their estate, avoiding probate and ensuring that their heirs received the proceeds as they had intended.
In the Twin Cities, we are fortunate to have Neyens Law to assist in setting up a living trust, or to help in other situations to avoid probate. We recently set up our family trust with their assistance, and the Neyens firm was authoritative, knowledgeable, responsive and helpful through the process.
A trust can seem to be a complex and daunting document. Neyens helps their clients understand such documents not through time-consuming reviews and presentations, but by having their clients view video presentations that not only explain the components of a trust but illustrate such documents by showing how they would apply and respond in real-world situations. The videos are clear, easy to understand and comprehensive.
There has been no question or concern on our part that Neyens was not able to address thoroughly. In developing a trust, or taking other steps needed to protect an estate, I strongly recommend the experience and knowledge of Neyens Law.

I worked with Tom, at Johnson Law on my case, and my experience was quite amazing. Before hiring Johnson Law, my experience with the insurance company was a disaster. It was the last thing I wanted to be involved in while recovering from a car accident.
Tom was so patient, diligent and brought all his years of experience into play. He updated me every step of the way, giving me his feedback and answering every question I had.
I had given up on the case when the insurance company decided not to comply with requested settlement. It was heart breaking to say the least. But, Tom stayed the course and continued to work on the case. The outcome was remarkable, as he never stopped negotiating to get the best offer.
If you are looking for a Law firm that truly care about you and your personal injuries, please look no further. The Johnson Lawyers are spectacular and will fight for you every step of the way. They truly carry your burden and make the process light and easy.
I am very grateful for Tom.
Thank you Johnson Law!

Denise and Conrad were quick to respond when I had questions and explained every step very well. I contacted them after being jerked around by worker’s compensation insurance company for an injury.

Allison took a very difficult case petitioning to review and a hearing for a closed divorce case. This due to shenanigans from petitioner's attorney on initial court hearing, court procedure not followed, no effort mediation on petitioner's part, and attorney's fees - all around petitioner being awarded my primary home. The case was reopened for review, at the end: I was awarded 100% equity and rights to my home and my attorney fees.
Your mileage may vary, but know this: This is likely your best mileage option!
Thanks a million Allison!

Mr. Smith was extremely experienced in all things related to custody and finances.

He set my mind at ease throughout the process with his vast knowledge in family law. All interactions with his team of student attorneys were very positive. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced and professional attorney.

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.

- 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.
