I found Alyssa here through Avvo. I sent multiple personal and detailed messages regarding my horrific family law matter. Alyssa sent me a message very quickly and answered all of my concerns in an honest and caring fashion. I retained Alyssa after working with two previous attorneys and with the need of her representation for my court date which was only four weeks away. Alyssa accomplished more in four weeks to help me than my other two attorneys did in two years! Alyssa is very honest and tells you the good, the bad and the ugly which I love and appreciate. She goes above and beyond to answer the tremendous amount of emails I send her. We ended up getting everything I wanted during our hearing. She literally blew me away while I’m court and when it comes to a horrific custody battle, she truly put my children’s needs and my desires front and center and fought for my family in the most impressive and short amount of time. I’m LAS Vegas, there isn’t another family law attorney that can hold a candle to Alyssa. If you are in a position where you ever need a family law attorney, contact Alyssa today! You will truly have your family in the hands of an angel! Thank you for everything, Alyssa. Words will never be able to express my gratitude to you in words!

Everything was taken care of in a very expedient and professional manner. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome and not hesitate to refer Mr Yampolsky to anyone in a similar situation.

I just wanted to say that Mace has a fantastic team overall. This is the second attorney team I hired to defend me for my case and Mace's team blew the other team out of the water with regards to helpfulness, approachability, accessibility, and timeliness of responses . Their paralegals answer e-mails with very helpful information and always in a super timely manner. They're comforting and supportive. Mace's partner Jason jumps in whenever Mace is unavailable and they never leave you hanging. They continue to assist me after my sentencing over a year later. I would hire this team again.

he backstory is that my daughter's mother decided to move away and tried to take my daughter across the country away from me for no reason other than she wanted to move. I've been active and in my daughter's life since birth but due to my previous choice of attorney, almost lost this case. After almost a year of legal gamesmanship and being financially milked by The firm representing me previously a friend told me about Bruce and the Pecos law group. With only 45 days to trial that team put together a great argument and legal strategy that allowed the judge to clearly see what my daughter's mother was up to. Bruce, Jack, and the entire team, humbly, I thank you. I have primary custody of this beautiful little girl and life is good because of you.

I was involved in a long-term mess with my ex-spouse. Making matters worse, my ex-spouse’s attorney was non-responsive and extremely slow to do anything. I hired Bruce and the change was immediate. The day after I retained him, he sent letters and started the process of getting the case moving along. He also let me know the realistic outcomes that we may face along the way. Even more telling, he went above and beyond to let me know the best way to handle the matter so I was not spending too much money. His honesty, knowledge, and preparation was beyond my expectations. We had one court appearance and we achieved all of what we were going for. You could even tell Bruce has a great reputation as it seemed the judge was more inclined to listen to his position. When opposing counsel became desperate and began threatening us, Bruce responded immediately and let me know if it was anything we had to worry about. I can’t recommend him and his firm enough. They ended a 15-month nightmare and did so in a fair manner.

Patrick was an absolute breath of fresh air. I needed legal advice for an employment dispute to protect my family business. I had been referred to and spoken with multiple other lawyers first, all of whom gave me conflicting, disconnected, unfruitful advice that left me more concerned than anything else. Like harvesters collecting wool from the sheep. When I finally spoke to Patrick, I had an immediate sense of relief. I connected and resonated with everything, he was telling me. Like I felt in my gut I could trust him, and I wasn't getting set up for an endless stream of payments. I believed he was giving me the same advice he would have given to a loved one, a son, a daughter, a friend...where he only wanted to help. He is exactly what the world needs more of. Thank you so much Mr. King, It is people like you who revive the hope for humanity in people like me. You are so very much Appreciated.

I have called Patrick King now 4 times to get advice on a difficult/emotional Divorce I'm going through. Each time I spoke with Mr. King he granted me great advice and direction free of charge?!! Who does this? No ONE, that's who! I've never felt this comfortable ever, with any Lawyer! Just a great person!! I love that he took the time, each time and wasn't in a hurry to get off the line. I highly recommend Patrick King! I also will be hiring Mr. King to set-up my Living Will.

The last thing a person needs to know in life is that they need an attorney. It is scary and stressful. When I called Patrick King, he helped me over the phone to resolve my issue. He never charged me for the phone advice and I think I called him 2 times about it. He told me how to construct a letter to send and he made me feel a lot better about the problem I was facing. I could have retained him as my attorney but he was trying to help me in any way he could so that I wouldn't have to. I hope if I ever need an attorney (which I hope not), I can use him to fight for me. He is the best!

John pays attention to detail and does not waste time. Price wise - ABSOLUTELY REASONABLE! John and his entire staff are very professional and responsive, late nights, weekends, it didn't matter.

We recently updated our estate documents with Laury Macauley, Esq. We have had trusts for over four decades and have worked with a number of attorneys over the years. After moving to Reno Nevada, a community property state, we needed an update. We contacted a number of estate attorneys. Almost all had 60+ page boiler plate trust templates into which they inserted relevant individualized information but most of these bloated documents had information that does not and never will be relevant to us. Such large trusts are cumbersome and inefficient since during settlement, parties must read everything to be sure something important is not missed. We wanted a more personalized straightforward trust which eliminated all the bloat, unnecessary legal jargon, generation skipping wording, minor dependents, dependent trusts, etc. etc. Laury agreed to work with us to accomplish what we wanted…estate documents relevant to our situation written in a straightforward manner. In the end our very comprehensive trust is 22 pages long. We found her to be bright, helpful, knowledgeable and ethical. She was among a very few lawyers willing to help us create what WE wanted rather than something off the shelf. This took extra time so the process did extend over 2 months but we are extremely pleased. We would definitely recommend Ms. Macauley without reservation to others.

She not only asked questions but she encouraged my participation and always returned calls and answered every question and concerns.

After realizing how difficult child custody trials are, I was referred to Lorien for help with my case. Lorien was amazing from the start, she met with me and gave me insights on where my case stood at the time and what I could do to help win. Throughout the 8 months Lorien worked on my case, I was consistently given updates from her and her team and was always made to feel heard and validated. She took the time to make sure myself and witnesses were fully prepared for the trial date. On the day of the trial Lorien helped me stay calm and reassured during my testimony. Lorien was stern and clever when speaking on my behalf. After the trial was over, she talked to me and let me know of what to expect next. I cannot thank Lorien enough for helping my gain primary custody of my children. I will forever be grateful for all of her help and hard work in making sure my children are happy and safe.

My high-conflict Ex had Filed for Divorce just as the Pandemic started and we went on Lock-down. I had questions because I didn't know if I even needed a lawyer. Lorien answered all of my questions for me, and offered me direction, before she even agreed to represent me. She represented and stood by me during my almost three years long, High Conflict Divorce & Custody battle that included numerous false allegations, false accusations, multiple false CPS cases, Extreme Parental Alienation, and multiple Smear Campaigns by my ex. Lorien always knew what to do each time something new was hurled at me, and she helped me prove everything to be false, so that my children were returned to me, while helping navigate me through the most difficult, heart wrenching, and stressful time of my life; as well as restoring my character and reputation, in court. We had 7 full days of trial, as well as many, many Hearings. She had many witnesses and expert witnesses testify, always on pointe when questioning witnesses, and never backing down to opposing counsel and all their shenanigans. As a mother herself, she always has the best interest of the children at heart, and she really cares about her clients - you never feel like you're just a case. She stuck it out with me to the end, and continues to represent me, as things pop up with my ex. I am so grateful to have found her, and that she took my case knowing it would be a difficult one. I cannot say enough positive things about Lorien - she is the BEST! When things are High Conflict, you want Lorien fighting for you! THANK YOU!!!

Alex was dogged in her pursuit of my Green Card during the "Name Check" stall period 2006/7. During this time the INS were sitting on over 250,000 applications for Permanent Residence that had passed all the hurdles except the post 9/11 background check, "Name Check". The Federal Government "system" at that time was totally inadequate to deal with the volume and was causing delays and hardship to many. We were on the verge of taking the Federal Government to court when they relented and granted not only my Green Card, but also Permanent Resident status to thousands of others in the broken system. I know that Alex had been successful in court with other cases before mine and I had confidence that she would be successful for me, too. She will be dealing with my citizenship application shortly.

Family law is not a fun experience at the least, and pure agony is expected. A lack of quality representation abounds in Las Vegas, where sometimes it seems your lawyer wants the money without even putting a thought into your case. I am grateful that was not my experience with Jennifer Abrams. I came to Jennifer after my previous representation repeatedly dropped the ball and gave bad advice. Jennifer and her team were attentive and professional. The advice I was given had reasonable support, and their preparation made for a favorable outcome. Most importantly, she is passionate about helping her clients and she always came to court prepared, informed and ready to tackle the case. It is hard to put your trust in an attorney, but Jennifer proved she is worth trusting.

Jennifer Abrams is the complete package. Besides the pretty face, she is intelligent, sharp, ethical, and aggressive. If you are searching for a lawyer that will fight for you, this attorney is it. Her professionalism is remarkable. The firm is exceptionally organized. This lawyer single handedly litigated against not one, not two, but three lawyers per hearing during my case and was victorious each time. She was equipped with her knowledge and suited with her armor of steel. All lawyers should be modeled after Ms. Abrams. She is highly regarded by her colleagues, those who never met her has heard of her and hesitate to go against her. This woman has morals which is hard to find in the Legal industry. She is superb!

You’ll trust him immediately. He knows how to calm you down and joke a bit at times but get serious at times when it’s required. You can tell immediately he doesn’t “need” your business. Zero salesmanship. He is priced well below others who will smile, schmooze, then disappear as soon as the check clears. Ted helped me with a DUI. My second. I paid my first attorney more than 5X Ted’s fee (for a simpler case). Ted spent at least 5X more time with me and he seemed much more prepared. The results were as good as possible with the circumstances and Ted could certainly charge a lot more (which I’m certain he knows). That’s just not how he rolls. Total class act. Ted was referred to me by a mutual friend who is also an attorney and I’m so grateful I bit the bullet and told my friend the circumstances - it was worth the mild embarrassment for a top notch attorney.

Mr. Williams is the only lawyer I ever heard of who gives you honest advice even if that means he will not get your business. My nephew was in big trouble and instead of trying to charge my family thousands of dollars, he advised us to stay with our public defender who Mr. Williams knew and said was an excellent attorney. I've heard that Mr. Williams is kind of rich so he does not need to rip people off like other lawyers do.

I found Shannon to be amazingly responsive, easy to work with and extremely practical. It was very reassuring to know that she was not just providing sound legal advice but also helping and offering great advice period. She was an excellent resource and I have referred her to many others, which in my mind is the ultimate compliment to her personally and professionally, which I was happy to do. She works tirelessly to support her clients and is always available.

Shannon Wilson has firmly guided me through my child custody case for six years, including a relocation and an appeal that were successful. Her preparation and attention to detail is unparalleled. She taught me patience and discipline through this challenging and emotional process, which motivated me to be a better person, father, and coparent. Professionally, Shannon goes above and beyond, is diligent, and has a tireless work ethic that is unmatched. Personally, Shannon is genuine and compassionate, but strict. I'm not perfect and have made my mistakes, but Shannon has always encouraged me to focus on the best interest of my child and to always foster his relationship with his mother regardless of our differences. I am grateful and honored to be represented by Shannon and will continue to value her guidance and leadership.

I reached out to several employment attorneys and found that many of them only asked me basic questions during our phone conversations. However, Davis Amberlea stood out by offering me an in-person consultation where they thoroughly reviewed all of my paperwork. Not only did they spend an hour with me, but Davis Amberlea also provided valuable advice on my case. Their friendly and informative service exceeded my expectations. Needless to say, I am extremely satisfied with their exceptional assistance.

I had an initial consultation with him which blew me away. Although he knew my case is not happening soon he took his time, he wrote down all the bullet points with details. His suggestions regarding my potential case were absolutely on point. Never saw a lawyer in Las Vegas who really cares about your concerns. Definitely will refer him to anybody who needs a real family lawyer in town.

I have works alongside Ms. Thoman, who serves as CAP attorney for several children I volunteer with in the DFS system. She maintains meticulous notes and deep knowledge of her cases and advocates relentlessly for the children’s legal rights at every turn. Besides her professional expertise, she is also extremely kind and generous with her time and attention to the kids she represents. She is a standout in her field.

I absolutely love that and I encourage anyone who is considering attorney, to not hesitate to hire her as your attorney. She is phenomenal rockstar of attorneys.

Trying to find the words to write this review has taken me months. As I didn’t know where to start. So I’m going to start by saying THANK YOU. From the depths of my heart. Your service and work to help me will forever be ingrained into my life. You helped and believed in my HOA case from day one. Atty. Michael Anello is intelligent and dedicated. He is driven and amazing! I always felt like a priority and my case was handled exceptionally. He understands my situation and genuinely cares. He takes the initiative on how to progress and move forward in great detail in "The Settlement letter." He has a sharp legal mind and is paired with great communication skills. I highly recommend his services. I am grateful that I found attorney Anello.

I met Mr Anello the day after a DUI arrest. I was feeling hopeless going into the office but during the meeting he explained what was going on with my case and my options so I left feeling confident that I had a good competent attorney. Along with the DUI charges we also discussed how the arrest could effect a family law case that I was involved in at the time and his knowledge about those matters were a huge help to me. I only had to meet with him twice before choosing a plan that worked for my personal situation to move forward with my life without spending years in court or becoming financially exhausted. At the end of my case, the results were better than I initially expected so I was very satisfied with Mr. Anello’s work on my case. I was happy that I had found him and I don’t think any other attorneys in my town would have had the same knowledge and experience to help me with all my issues.

We hired one of the immigration lawyer to seek legal help on our case and he didn’t pay good attention to renew the visa process and almost going to be out of status. We were stuck in fight or flight situation and the attorney was not handling properly. We had some questions that only experienced lawyer could answer. No lawyer would answer anything until you had paid for a consultation. I called Dee and despite of her busy schedule, she called us back and gives us the legal advice. We highly recommend Dee and her firm for anyone need help for immigration process.

Travis Clark was phenomenal in putting together my divorce package after I was served. He listened to what I would like to see happen. We developed a game plan that he perfectly executed. Worked with the opposing attorney to resolve conflicts and provide clarification on matters of concern. Travis's advise was invaluable. In the hour before seeing the judge a big last minute detail had to be worked out. It was expertly handled to my benefit. In the court proceedings Travis worked with the court to ensure I received terms beneficial to myself and my future. Very, very satisfied with the outcome of the divorce proceedings, far better than anything I had expected. Well done Travis, I am in your debt. Thank you.

Kim Surratt is not only a great lawyer, she's a good person. She walked me through the hell that was my divorce, counseled me through the difficult decisions about the children, custody, child support, etc. and helped keep from going crazy when everything in my life was upside down. Divorces suck. There's no way around that. Having someone on my side that was empathetic to what I was going through, but was able to maintain a business mind about the whole thing was crucial to me making good decisions and not fighting just to fight because I was pissed. I've been back several times because of custody issues, and she's helped me navigate the ridiculousness of a crazy ex who happens to be the mother of my kids. I honestly don't think anyone could have done a better job.

Kim Surratt is a very special person to me. From the moment Kim took on my son's case, she worked so hard to achieve the right outcome. I believe that Kim saved my son's life, and strengthened our entire family. Our custody case was very difficult and lasted eight years. Kim was by my side, always giving me good advice, helping me have the strength to continue the battle, and saw our case to a proper final conclusion. I will always be grateful that I had Kim as my attorney.

At first I thought I could represent myself in my custody trial. After finding out the hard way after a couple of the hearings, how stressful and emotional it is, I decided to find a lawyer to represent me. After a few different consultations, I found that Mike (who was referred to me by a friend who also had won her case while being represented by Mike) really was the most honest & ethical out of the ones I interviewed. He was completely honest with me in regards to expectations, and I could definitely tell his knowledge from his years and years of experience. I decided to go with Mike, and I couldn't be any happier. Fast forward a year and a half later, we won our case. To top it off, his assistant, Danay, is really the nicest and best. She helped me so much throughout this, with whatever question I had. She was patient, personable, knowledgeable, and friendly. I can go on and on about how great Danay is :) Both of them are really a great team! I've already recommended them to a friend of mine going through a custody battle as well, and will continue to recommend people to them, without a doubt.

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.
