Janelle has had great communication and put in the work to get a very old judgement settled. I’d recommend her to anyone.

I used to do all my own collections for two separate businesses I manage and it was so time consuming and confusing with all the different rules and laws. I was sure there had to be an easier way. After calling around to many lawyers here in town I found Janelle's name came up repeatedly. I met with her and she was awesome! I gave her one of our largest collection accounts to test the waters and in no time her and her team had a full payment! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Janelle Foltz was hired by ARL Credit Services. ARL doesn't even have a front door to their business...Google maps shows it located in a Home Health Services business. ARL is NOT accredited by the Better Business Bureau. Ms. Foltz doesn't have any website and her reviews on Google indicate she's a suspicious character. In my garnishment case, ARL and Ms. Foltz both failed to show to court. They lost their case.

Linsey handled our adoption. My husband wanted to adopt my son who had abandoned him. Linsey was excellent and was very thorough in everything. She was great explaining things to us and was very patient with us when I had to call her or email her with more questions that came up later through the process. After court she asked if we had any other questions and said if we needed anything else to not hesitate to call her. We did run into a situation to where the grandparents of the adopted child was contacting us and the child after being told not to, she was very pleasent and helpful as to how to handle the situation. Linsey is a very good attorney and knows the Nebraska Law. I was so hesitant at first considering my bad experience from a previous Nebraska attorney I had had to handle a modification and visitation schedule. With Linsey's outgoing and soft personality but yet a fighter I just knew she was the one to hire. I needed an attorney that would fight for me and believe in me and stand by me the whole way and not just think about the paycheck that thought about what was right and important. When it comes to my children I take things seriously and want what is best for them not me. Linsey stood by me the whole way and she is one attorney that I would definitely hire again, but I hope that will never be necessary.

Avis is an amazing attorney. She cares for her clients and she fights for them throughout an 8 hour trial . I will recommend her hands down over any other attorney. Our case was taken under advisement so the final decision will be up to the judge, as far as Avis she did everything she possibly could that's all we could ask for !!!

Avis seem like she lacked compassion or drive to persue a child custody case for me. Instead after 2 1/2 years of fighting back and forth with my childs father and waiting for any answer from the judge. I walked away with less parenting time and child support than what I had before. I would not recommend her to anyone, shes definetly not worth the money or time.

I hired Jamie Kinkaid for my custody case from 5/23 to 7/24 .Unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. Throughout the process, I encountered she prolonged my case unnecessarily. Additionally, I found the billing practices to be concerning. I received invoices that included charges for services I believed were not discussed or agreed upon in advance. This led to a final bill that was much higher than I had anticipated. These issues not only delayed my case but also caused me considerable stress and financial strain. And , she also withdrew two weeks before trial , that lead me to hire another attorney on short notice , her reason was, I wasn't supposed to talk to the mother of my baby , and I have to talk to her for 17 more years (we need to get along ) . And she didn't even wanna hear my side . I would advise potential clients to carefully consider their options and ensure clear communication regarding fees and timelines before proceeding with this lawyer. Also charge me when she talked about her husband opening for Snoop Dog, like I cared.

If you're looking for legal representation... I would look elsewhere. Trust me If I had the option to not even select a star I would have gone that route. However you have to select at least one to leave a review. Patricia Bramhall is worthless!! She's actually supposed to be a guardian ad litem conservator or whatever you are supposed to call it for my father for the last almost 2 years I think. We go to court hopefully for our final hearing in a month to remove her. My sister is now power of attorney. Bramhall has done absolutely NOTHING and I mean NOTHING!!! I hope she's ready to show us an accounting for all of the money spent while she's been doing absolutely NOTHING for my father. So if you need a lawyer.... Call someone that will actually work for you. I don't know how she sleeps at night. My siblings and I have provided him with everything that he's needed out of our own pockets for the past couple of years, his rent has been paid for his assisted living out of his estate. I'm going to find out if my father can sue her for any monies she has paid herself from his estate since she hasn't legally earned it. An absolutely HORRENDOUS experience!! Do yourselves a favor and seek other legal representation. Your neighbors dog could do a better job.

I hired Mr. Astley to be my Divorce Atty. I did not get half of the bank accounts. I did not get half of the dodge vipers. I did not get half of the class a Monaco diplomat Camper. I did not get half of anything. I was a stay at home mom for 25 years. I ended up with five years of a pittance of alimony. I gave one star because you can’t give anything less. This was by far the worst experience of my life.

I am a previous and VERY unsatisfied client of Mr. Adam Astley. I hired Mr. Astley to help me with my divorce. Although Mr. Astley seemed to be quite intelligent and had accolades to his name, I do not feel that he used his knowledge to benefit me or my court case. Beyond this, I rarely received return phone calls unless the call was regarding paying his bill. I felt that there were several very important things that should have definitely been explained to me, that were not. I also wasn't informed about many, better options that I had available until AFTER the decree was signed, and at that point, it was too late. I have spoken with several other attorneys and every single one of them, bar none, has been shocked at how unfair and terrible the settlement that I received was. In fact, I am now having to take my ex-husband back to court for a new settlement because the one that Mr. Astley bartered for me was, as far as I am concerned, awful. I personally have never had such a terrible experience and outcome with someone in a professional line of work in my life. Please, I implore you, save yourself time, money and disappointment and find a different attorney. I only wish that I had checked Mr. Astley's reviews prior to hiring him.

Adam was my attorney and I received a terrible settlement directly as a result of his terrible legal advice. I am having to go back to court AGAIN to refight the same case. Not only was he not upfront with me, he kept charging more & more money with no evidence of billed hours he supposedly worked on my case. He accepted all of the requests of the other party and did noting that I could see to stand up for me and my case. Worst attorney I’ve ever used and I’ve had several. Save your money, I wouldn’t send my worst enemy to Adam Astley.

Don’t ever use Gregory Pivovar for anything he will do nothing but lie to you, he doesn’t know what he’s doing, he is lazy and then makes up excuses why he was lazy, he will promise you everything you want to hear but won’t come through on one thing, and all he wants to do is makes deals on everything so he never has to go to court so he will lie to you to get you yo take the deal. Greg let me down by not doing his job a few years ago and I tried to give him another chance to redeem himself but he did it once again. Recently He lied to me telling me to take what I was offered for parenting time with my daughter because the judge will give me less than what I was being offered if I took it to trial and made up some false excuse why she would. He knew the most important thing to me was my daughter. I ended up catching him in that lie but it was after it was too late he once again didn’t do his job and let me down. I would have gotten more time than what I was being offered. Greg lied because he wasn’t ready for anything when he had over a year and a half to prepare. Do not use him for anything at all. Years back he had lost his right to practice law he deserves to lose his right once again. I would give negative stars if I could on this review.

I had made several attempts to contact her and set an appointment to go over material pertaining to my case and did not get any response. She was unprofessional in regards to how she handled her motion to withdraw. She ignored phone calls and emails. I am disappointed with how it ended.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
