I had contacted him to ask questions about my accident. As we talked he informed me that I'm not his type client that he would be representing the other driver. However he continued on the phone with me till I fully understood the whole process. He didn't rush me or charge me. I am so grateful for his knowledge and time. I would highly would highly recommend him because if he would do that for someone that wasn't his type of client I can only imagine what he would do for a client.

Matt Malouf and Jazmin Rivera were wonderful to work with! They made it simple and even when my claim was inevitably getting dragged out by the insurance company they made me feel comfortable with the process and explained my next steps in an easy to understand way. The insurance company listed me as 50% responsible for a car accident made my another person running a red light when I had green. They took care of it in no time and made sure I was given my proper settlement and listed 0% responsible. Thank you so much for helping me out with this! I would highly recommend that you give them a call when you find yourself in an unfortunate circumstance.

Thanks to Mr. Sullivan, my marriage-based green card application was approved in less than 5 months. I understand immigrants very well. What is important for us in this process is that we are looking for a lawyer who will make us feel safe, who will answer our questions knowledgeably and clearly, and who will spare time for us. For these features, Mr. Sullivan is the right address for a quality and disciplined lawyer.

I highly recommend Buckley Law Offices for your personal injury case needs. I had a loved one in a car accident with serious injuries at the beginning of 2024. I contacted Atty Buckley who carefully listened to my family’s situation and counseled me on the steps we needed to take so that my loved one wasn’t burdened by medical bills while re-cooperating. We are extremely pleased with the final settlement and could not have done it without the experience Atty Buckley has dealing with insurance companies + Medicare. Also, big thanks to Buckley’s associate, Lisa!

Kelly was recommended to me by a coworker for a divorce lawyer. The first day I met Kelly I felt she was compassionate about my case. I expressed my concerns going into the divorce and I feel she never let those concerns be forgotten. She was very patient as unfortunately my case was lengthy. But she never stopped defending me. It's evident she cares about her clients.

Dear Paul,
I wanted to thank you for the work you did for Port City Chiropractic ni regards to a commercial sublease of some previously unused space I had in one of my offices. Your professionalism and guidance was much needed as it was a complicated, tiered lease with many extra provisions.
You handled all these with deft and speed and we were able to close the deal in record time.
I really appreciate having this matter handled by someone who I have know and respected for a very long time, and know that the tenant had felt the same after I explained who would be preparing the document for us.
I will not hesitate to continue to refer friends, family and colleagues to avail themselves of your services as I know they are in professional and caring hands.
Again thank you so much!
Shawn Shapiro, DC

I cannot say enough positive things about Maureen, Anna and the rest of the team at
Manning, Zimmerman & Oliviera. From my first meeting with Maureen, I knew my husband’s case was in the right hands. Maureen listened to my story with compassion and began to work tirelessly on his behalf. Later, when Anna joined the case I felt the same professionalism, reassurance and warmth. I feel so thankful to have had both of these amazing lawyers representing his case. Every step of the way, I was impressed with the level of communication and responsiveness, from not only Maureen and Anna but the entire office. I highly recommend the office of Manning, Zimmerman & Oliviera.

I have been a client of Joanne's for almost 15 years. She helped me through my divorce, probate and estate navigation upon the death of my former spouse, my own advance directives and most recently, establishing a trust. Joanne has always ensured that I am comfortable with our decisions and that I really understand what I'm doing. I trust her implicitly and am very grateful for her compassion and wealth of knowledge. She is always mindful of my budget too. I couldn't have gotten through the big life issues without her. Thank you!

I chose Kathleen based on her reviews here on her website when I had no idea who to turn to or who to trust. I promised her when everything was settled that I would add to her long list of positive reviews as a way of giving back to her and to help others who face similar challenges. Kathleen has been an advocate for myself and family in every sense of the word. She walked me through each step and literally stayed by my side with the kindness and care I needed the most. Her exceptional law experience and knowledge saved us a considerable amount of time and money. I highly recommend Kathleen O’Donnell.

I cannot recommend Kat highly enough! From the moment I had the first conversation with her, I knew I was in capable hands. Going through a divorce with a narcissistic and difficult ex was one of the toughest challenges of my life, but having Kat and her team by my side made all the difference.
She is not only incredibly fair and smart, but also fiercely dedicated to her clients. Kat navigated every twist and turn of my case with precision and expertise. Her strategic approach ensured that my interests were always protected, and she fought tirelessly to secure the best possible outcome for me and my children.
What impressed me the most was how quickly she was able to settle my divorce. Despite the complexities and tension, Kat remained steadfast and focused on reaching a resolution efficiently. Thanks to her sharp legal mind and unwavering determination, I was able to move forward with my life sooner than I ever imagined.
If you're looking for a divorce lawyer who will go above and beyond for you, look no further. She is not only an exceptional legal professional but also a compassionate advocate who genuinely cares about her clients' well-being. Thank you, Kat, for helping me navigate through this challenging time with grace and strength. You are truly the best in the business!

Divorce sucks big time. But within 15 minutes of interviewing Katharine I knew she would represent me in my sucky divorce. She's smart, straight-to-the point and was sympathetic to my questions, my concerns and my objectives - without judgement. She had my back before, during and after the mediation process (which I strongly recommend)....all the way to the final decree. She and her support kept me in tbe loop every step of the way and responded to me in a timely manner. I recommend her legal services most sincerely

I hired Katherine for my divorce on a recommendation of a friend. Katherine is extremely easy to work with. She is very direct and honest in her approach which was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted someone to lay out the facts in front of me with no candy coating. She represented me expertly during the mediation and was successful in reaching a signed decree at the end of one day's mediation. She thought through every angle and helped me understand each obstacle we faced so I could make educated decisions. I highly recommend Katherine if you are looking for a smart, honest, detailed oriented lawyer. She is great at her job and gives you confidence in moving through the process!

Mark was very thorough from beginning to end with my case. He was easy to communicate with, got back to me quickly and explained the process as well as advised me patiently and professionally. He was extremely relatable and I am glad that I chose this office for representation.
When we got to trial he was very well prepared and confident and hit it out of the park. I cannot recommend his services enough for whatever curve ball life might throw.

We all know someone for something. A great plumber , carpenter etc. My Family Law Attorney is Achsa Klug and her team. They are sharp, direct and get the job done. They set the right expectations and deliver. Everyone that i recommend to her. Thanks me. I don't get anything in return. You never want to be in any type of situation she deals with. But, the best course of action is to hire an subject matter expert that can help you in simple English terms, and yet legally be able to advise the courts on your behalf. A+ service! Nicholas

Hired for a divorce case. 5,000$ deposit. She never consulted me after the first consulting call.
She missed 3 different phone meetings with me in three months.
Charged me 5000 total before even ever going to court of ever having even one conversation.
The services that were rendered I have been told by every other local attorney is some of the worst advice and service for my situation.
Would never recommend and some of the practices by her and fellow lawyers she is friendly with border illegal.

Attorney Hipple handled my case in a professional manner and went out of his way to contact me outside of normal business hours when necessary. He won my case and I honestly couldn't have asked for better representation in the matter. While I obviously never hope to "need" a lawyer, if future some circumstance arises, I will definitely seek his services again.

Seth Hipple is an A+ attorney — highly competent and I highly recommend him.

If you’re looking for peace of mind and assertive action on your behalf, this is the law firm for you.

Attorney Fred Hoysradt is a literal godsend. I found myself in a pretty unprecedented legal predicament through (truly!) no fault of my own, and met with no fewer than eight attorneys to attempt to resolve the unique issue. None inspired confidence until I met Fred. He and his team met with me and so thoroughly and thoughtfully scoured every detail of what happened. Fred believed in me, and it was clear from the jump that he was fully in my corner and would stop at nothing to ensure I got justice. He went above and beyond in every way and secured a deal beyond what I could have hoped for. Fred is the perfect mix of compassionate and no-nonsense and will help you feel fully supported at what is likely a difficult time in your life. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for representation and I myself will be using him again, this time for a family matter. Thank you, Fred!

We have used MacDonald Law for two different legal matters in the past year. I can’t recommend them enough. We worked with Corey Macdonald in conjunction with his paralegal Jennifer Greenwald. They listened, made recommendations, and presented best options. We also worked with Fred Hoysradt and Peter Sankowich. Again, another great experience. I spoke with many different offices and am so glad I chose to work with MacDonald Law.

I would highly recommend MacDonald law. We worked mainly with Corey MacDonald, who is exceptional in the courtroom, presented our case over 31/2 years against a difficult judge, each time getting a favorable outcome. Ours was an emotional family case. Corey and his staff was able to guide us through some very difficult times and situations. He took time to prepare and understand each of us before we took the stand to ensure a positive outcome.
Liz and Megan were both professional and empathetic. Now that the case is closed we are going to miss our contact with the law firm; especially Megan, during some difficult times she took the time to listen. I can’t thank you enough Megan.
Thank you to all of you,
Meredith Viano and Jeff Sullivan

I have known for about 5 years, and he has been my attorney since, he's got quite the reputation for sure in Nashua NH of getting it done. The first time I met him I found him to be a little cold and stand offish. I quickly learned Adam is a no BS type of lawyer dedicated to say the least he'll tell u want he wants of you and doesn't waste time, i think he works 24/7 when u email him you're going to get a response very quickly regardless of the hour, He will never tell you one way or the other were you stand but he's extremely respected in NH when it comes to vehicle offenses,
He knows everyone that counts, and you provide him what he wants when he wants it, and you'll stand a good chance he will make it happen. Twice he has come through for me, the last one
I felt that was it I'm going to lose my license for a long time.
I never told I was do a review; I hope he doesn't get too upset
He deserves it, so if you unfortunately find yourself in a dicey situation in NH where everything counts.
Adam is your guy!!!

I can't say enough good things about Amy Connolly! Any circumstance where you need legal counsel can feel overwhelming and emotional. I felt like I had absolutely exhausted every effort on my own and knew I needed help. Within hours of calling Amy, my situation had drastically improved. She explained a clear plan of action and you cannot put a price on the relief I felt knowing she was taking over. She is incredibly smart, thoughtful and hard working. I would recommend her anyone, and I do!

My experience with Attorney Connolly was very one sided. She ran me approximately 10,000 in debt. She told me that this. "Your case shouldnt take to long, you were only married for a year". We lost every battle in court. Told me to pay for a plane ticket about 1,300 dollars to see my children. I never saw my children. She doesn't fight for you in court. I can't explain enough. I had to fire her.
To me I believe she was in kahoots with the opposing counsel.
No I do not recommend her.

My family and extended family have engaged Greg Martin on several occasions for all of our family law needs. I recommend Greg to all of my family and friends on a regular basis. That is mainly because, Greg is a professional and has wonderful people skills. We have hired Greg during times when we feel most vulnerable and emotional. Greg always finds a way to calm our nerves and to make us feel confident in the process and his expertise to help us find a resolution. And, Greg has never failed us.
I recommend Greg to you when you need a smart and sharp professional but also want to feel like you are really heard and cared for within the law.

I had an amazing experience with Tony Naro at Naro Law he did an amazing job helping my case. It was a long process for me but Tony gave me suggestions that I took and worked hard in my personal life and we got the outcome we were looking for from the state. I don’t think it would have been possiblewithout Tony he went above and beyond for me and defended me in my case very well and I was very impressed. He is all around a good guy and helped guide me to a better path and actually cared for me and all I can say is I would highly recommend his service if you are in need for a criminal defense lawyer!!

On several occasions, Tony Naro's advice and counsel have proven invaluable to me and my family. He understands the nuances of law and how it differs across states, is a terrific coach for courtroom appearances, and has a vast referral network to connect you with services he doesn't offer himself. Hehas advised me on child guardianship, parental rights, and estate planning matters (via an excellent referral). He's also down to earth, savvy, warm, and makes you feel confident without feeling confrontational. Highly recommended.

Going through any court process can be stressful,especially without proper representation. When I decided to start looking for an Attorney,Kalled Law offices was the first name that popped up. I called and immediately had a response.Following that response I was scheduled for a consultation,very quickly. Going into the consultation as a young mom looking for help I was initially nervous. I knew what I wanted and needed someone who would listen,give me solid advice and answers. When I arrived at the office and spoke with Katrina those nerves went away,I felt almost at home in the office. Katrina was helpful,consistent and calm. Then I had the pleasure of talking with Attorney John Kalled,who very early on I knew was listening,taking in the information I was splurging out and already solving the issues in his head. Attorney Kalled was also very calm and collected in his advice and answers,very caring and made me feel as though he wanted what was best for not only my child but me as well. I went in looking for an Attorney and a team that would fight with pride and determination, all of the individuals at this office met those expectations. The response time between contact with this team is incredibly fast,after court hearings Attorney Kalled would call me seconds after the hearing ended to check with me and make sure I understood exactly what happened. (Because of covid-19 all of our court proceedings ended up being moved to phone in court hearings) Attorney Kalled would explain simply what everything meant and answered any questions I had. I am so thankful for this team of individuals,who worked hard,who always remained respectful and caring. If you are looking for a team, an Attorney who will really have your best interest in their mind,and deliver what you ask for,I would recommend this firm without hesitation every time! What an easy experience all of them made this!

My experience with Kalled Law Offices was excellent, beginning to end. I reached out to their office to inquire about representing me in a difficult situation and I received a very prompt reply. After my initial consultation with Attorney Kalled it was clear to me that his experience, knowledge and professionalism were what I was going to need. From that meeting until the resolution of my case Attorney Kalled and his staff were extremely thorough, communicative, accommodating, professional and effective. I am happy with the resolution to my legal matter, with the swiftness it was reached and therefore also with the value I received. Retaining the services of Kalled Law Offices was a very strong choice for me and I would recommend doing the same!

Attorney Markell represented me in my divorce and custody litigation. My case involved interstate issues, including Jurisdiction provoked by repeated petitions filed in another state during the divorce proceeding in an attempt to disrupt and delay the process. This case was highly contentious, and irreparable conflict existed between me and my ex. Attorney Markell proved to be an exceptional attorney. His knowledge, diligence, patience, guidance, and integrity resulted in the withdrawals of multiple opposing attorneys during my litigation and the Judge "throwing the Book" at my ex in my favor. No smoke and mirrors, hidden interests, or quid pro quo. He is an ethical attorney who works diligently and will explain complex statutes in meaningful and tangible ways to his clients.

I recommend her for her individualized and attentive care for me and my kids. She knew my case inside and out. I am grateful she was recommended to me by a friend. I recommend her, without hesitation. I cannot imagine having gone through this process without her.

Catherine McKay represented me during my extremely contentious divorce. My former husband hid assets, tried to dodge child support, alimony, college payments -etc. Throughout the entire process Cathy was superb- a calm, fair but super smart voice of reason in a highly volatile situation. Thanks to Cathy my children and I ultimately triumphed in the NH court system - holding an extremely devious and dishonest individual accountable in a calm and legal fashion. Many years later I still rely on Cathy whenever I need fair, honest, reasonable legal advice. I have referred numerous friends and colleagues to Catherine McKay and every one of them have thanked me for the referral.

I am totally impressed by Cathy's command of the Divorce process. She completely outperformed my ex-wife's attorney, who charged multiples of what Cathy charged. Cathy's counsel helped me work through all the issues and helped me separate the important ones from those that were less important. Cathy was available for meetings and phone calls when I needed them. I recommend her without hesitation.

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You

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.
