Eileen was great to work with on my divorce though I am sad I needed her services. She is extremely knowledgeable, and I appreciated her patience in answering all of my questions about the process. She is very organized and thorough as well as prompt in her communications. I appreciated her diligence in ensuring all of the paperwork read correctly as I was in an LQBTQ+ marriage. Additionally, Eileen maintains excellent relationships with the court and clerks which made for a fast, smooth process.

Mrs. Warshaw was by far the most exceptional service I have ever experienced. When my former lawyer passed away, I hired her to take over my divorce case. She immediately handled all of my issues in a super timely manner, and even went above and beyond to help me get my money back from my previous attorney. She was super professional and made sure all of the T's were crossed and I's were dotted. I have never been more happy with someone's services before, in any type of business.

This lawyer is the best. She was able to get my divorced completed in less than a year. There came a point in my life when I thought I would never be able to get a divorce. When I separated from my ex-husband in 2018, I contacted a law firm that charged me 18.000 dollars and never divorced me. Last year I decided to try again and that's how in the middle of a thorough search I found Attorney Warshaw who divorced me in less than a year and the price I paid was fair and reasonable. The service was excellent. I highly recommend this Attorney. My divorce was completed on 02/2024.

This was my first time hiring a lawyer and Randy far exceeded my expectations. During my first discussion with him, he was professional, empathetic, and direct while laying out the entire process for me. I really appreciated the detail and time he committed. From that first discussion to the end of the case, he was always available and provided prompt responses to any question I had. I would highly recommend him and his practice to anyone I know.

I have never hired an attorney before and was apprehensive when it came to hiring an attorney to represent me in a divorce, I did my research including signing up for divorce seminars. I still did not feel comfortable. Randy and his staff changed this. They made themselves available for me and my questions. Brought up valuable issues I had not thought about. I truly appreciate their help through this process.

I can not say enough good things about my experience with Armand Velardo. I hired him to handle personal, business, and real estate matters and I don't know what I would have done without him.

I chose Armand, because I saw him defending someone else in court. I thought he did an amazing job, and now he is my attorney. Divorce is painful, but he makes it less painful. He listens, works hard, is compassionate, and reasonable. He calls back promptly, makes you feel important, cares about your children, and doesn't let you stand alone. I have been very pleased with his representation, and I would recommend him to anyone going through a divorce.

I called Mr. Smith after I had been locked in a 6x9 cage 23 hours a day for almost a year. He
came to visit me at jail and heard my story. He told me right away the charge should have been a
93-day misdemeanor, at best. What a sense of relief I felt at that moment. This man GOT me!
How happy I was to speak to someone who had common sense!
You see nobody else had understood or used any common sense. All year, I had called and
written letters to my public defender, prosecutor and sheriff. I wrote four detailed statements and
had someone type and email to all involved. This person also sent emails and phone calls on my
behalf; gathered evidence to support my story; and wrote an affidavit that summarized my case
in a nutshell.
All the effort with the others was in vain. Not one person got it.
But, along with his common sense, Mr. Smith had the ability to get the job done. How he
presented my case in court was flawless and I was on the street the same day. He saved me from

I can’t say enough about Rob. I had a complicated change of custody case and he was able to bring numerous witnesses together from various agencies to testify. His ability to coordinate everyone and question them and to ask the questions that matter proved to be skillfully done. I would recommend him, especially to fathers who already have one strike against them simply for being the father in a custody case. I was pleased to hear that I was awarded sole physical and sole legal custody in my case.

When it comes to the world of lawyers, this guy has by far been one of a kind. He got the job done in a third of the time it would have taken anyone else, and was actually interested in helping me out. I can gaurantee Robert Sogge is NOT out to get your money, but to actually help you. I have to say he gave me hope, some lawyers do have a heart and soul.

Roberta has been representing me for over 20 years. Every case has been either dismissed or ended favorably for me. While her primary focus is divorce, she has represented me in criminal matters too. When you have an attorney that has been practicing for so long, it makes all the difference in the world. Cases she does not handle, I still consult with her first for her expert opinion and consult, as to who I should have represent me if not her.

The best, period! Annemarie listens and doesn't take no for an answer. The words can't, don't, no and etc., do not exist in her vocabulary. She is well versed and extremely educated in the law. She is a shinning prospect and the true example of what "your lawyer" should be. Her character traits are way to long to list. However, honest, private, confidential, trustworthy, loyal, aggressive and gets the job done, should at the top of everyones wish list when seeking legal representation. For 2 years she has been my business lawyer and has been a vital asset to my team, handling vast and eclectic spectrum of needs. She also handles all or any of my personal matters should anything come up.

Do yourself a favor and hire Alicia! I previously had a horrible lawyer who did not care. Alicia is the exact opposite. She truly has been the light in a difficult situation for us!

You are not just a paycheck to her. I am so so so grateful that I found her. She know's exactly what she is doing and is FANTASTIC at what she does. Thank you so much again Alicia.

Where should I start.... When I first contacted Alicia, she was patient, knowledgeable and knew exactly how to help make this divorce process as simple as possible. Throughout the process she was prompt and was able to share good and helpful insight, as to how we should address each situation that arose. Her experience really shined and I feel as though we always had an edge on the whole situation because of her strategic and helpful recommendations. From beginning to end, this process was easy and my ex wife, tried her best to make it complicated, but Alicia knew exactly how to handle the situation.
Alicia never made me feel like I was just a number or a transaction, instead she made me feel welcomed and comfortable that everything was going to be okay. When people truly care, its evident, and she cares. Don't hire Alicia just because I am sharing my experience, hire Alicia because you owe it to yourself. I heard so many horror stories about divorces and lawyers and I experienced exactly the opposite. I have a good feeling, thats because I partnered with the best. Thanks again Alicia, not sure I can ever repay you for your kindness and assistance. You're amazing at what you do, your passion really comes out for helping other people during difficult times and I'm happy we crossed paths. You're the best!

You will not regret it!

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.
