Dear Jesse, I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your professional legal representation and support throughout my legal case. Your calm tone, and years of experience proved to be helpful in securing the best possible outcome. When I was faced with charges of DWI, I was overwhelmed with anxiety and uncertainty. Your professional guidance and steadfast advocacy not only reassured me but also transformed what could have been a anxiety filled experience into a manageable step by step journey towards resolution. Your ability to communicate the legal concepts in a clear and understandable manner allowed me to make informed decisions about my case. Beyond your exceptional legal skills, your compassion and empathy made a profound impact on me. You provided not only legal guidance but also emotional support, which was invaluable during this difficult period. Your genuine concern for my well-being was evident in every interaction. I would recommend you, Jesse Friedman to anyone in need of legal counsel. Your excellent legal acumen, integrity, and commitment to your clients are qualities that set you apart as an outstanding attorney. Please feel free to share this letter on your website and social media platforms to let others know about the exceptional legal representation you provide. I have no doubt that you will continue to positively impact the lives of many individuals seeking justice. Thank you once again, Jesse, for being an extraordinary attorney and a real person during a challenging time. Regards, D…

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.

A Neighbor cut down my trees in Connecticut and Attorney Piedra and Christine were immensely helpful! They were very clear with communication every step of the way and Attny Piedra even got back to me during odd hours. I would highly recommend Attny Piedra as I could not have asked for anything to have been handled differently. Very professional, prompt, and clear in every regard. Christine is very responsive and immensely helpful. In dealing with Christine she is very insightful and knowledgeable and was a pleasure to deal with when Attny Piedra was unavailable. If you’re dealing with a timber trespass or someone who cut down your trees without your permission, you’ve them a call and ask for Attorney Piedra! Even if you’re out of state.

Israel Piedra was absolutely fantastic! He is extremely responsive and very open to listening to your concerns, which is not always common with lawyers, especially prior to formally "obtaining" them. This was very helpful in my search for a good fit attorney. He really wanted to listen to the situation at hand before providing a suggestion on how to proceed. I never felt like I was wasting his time or being rushed off the phone. Although we only spoke on the phone I could tell he is a very kind and hard working individual! Thank you Israel for working with me to figure out next steps for my real estate / condo concerns. Highly recommend.

The only regret I have is that I did not go with Sekella Law sooner. I used another attorney first time around and it was night and day once I signed on with Heather. As a father I felt my side was not taken seriously with the first ruling, but that all changed with Heather. My son is with me which is what he has been wanting for over three years.

I reached out to Heather regarding a fairly complicated post-divorce, post-alimony dispute related to health insurance coverage for my ex-spouse. After an initial consultation where she educated me as to the uniqueness of my situation, she described a path forward that would provide closure. Though the issue took over a year to resolve (due mostly to the pandemic) I felt that Heather was attentive to my needs and generally cost-conscious in her approach. In the end things went against me financially which, while unfortunate, was always a possibility. However she did achieve my primary goal of finality without having to go through a trial, so overall I was satisfied which the approach Heather took.

The whole team from start to finish are smart, professional, easy to work with, and kind. I know most people dread updating or starting the process of estate planning, Wills, etc, but you can let it go by letting them take care of it all. They handle everything with great knowledge and make it clean and clear on what to expect and what you will receive from them. They walk you through it and give you an easy understanding of all your new life documents. Thanks to them- my self, husband, grown son and 84 year old mom are now set up with everything we need to be able to take care of each other! Thank you all!

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!

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 have been acquainted with attorney Brian Snow for 15+ years. He became my lawyer when I was running a business. He not only improved my contracts by adding necessary clauses and making them air tight, he was also there for me whenever a legal matter arose. Several years later he handled my divorce which was a very emotional ordeal. He was understanding, patient and once again took charge of what was needed to be done. And lastly, he helped me with the ordeal regarding the sale of my house. There were multiple problems that occurred and he was there to answer my questions, intervene with other lawyers and the real estate agents, offer support, and humor. The positive outcome was due to his hard work and diligence. There is no other person that I would use to handle any legal issues. His knowledge of the law is excellent but for me what has really made the difference is that he treats me with respect and cares about my well-being. He is the kind of lawyer, all lawyer should esteem to become.

I was an out of state witness/victim in case where I had made clear to the prosecution that I had no desire for defendant to be charged. When I spoke with Sarah, I was impressed with how thorough she was and how she had a plan for each of the different scenarios that could play out. Sarah even was able to get me in touch with a local in-state attorney to help me understand more about any legal issues that could arise within my own state. She called out the prosecution for attempting to coerce me into testifying by sidestepping the interstate subpoena process and was able to successfully convince the court in my favor which resulted in the case against the defendant being dismissed.

Patricia (Patti) LaFrance esq. Is an amazing attorney. She did a very nice job laying out exactly what my expectations should be during my divorce. She quickly ascertained the nature of my case and the unique challenges that I was left to deal with. She is particularly well versed and known for her advocacy in domestic violence cases. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised when our Judge knew her by first name and referred to her work when she was with the prosecutors office. The judge certainly seemed to value her legal arguments and opinions. Needless to say I got a more-than fair result in my divorce. If I should ever be in the unfortunate need for an attorney then Patti is the very first person I am going to call. Thank you Patti for your incredible effort.

Patricia had the issue resolved for us within a couple months and our claim was paid in full.

He constantly kept me up to date with my case and communicated with me so that I'd understand the laws and what the outcomes would be. I never had to play phone tag with him or wait forever for him to call me back. I never felt ignored or felt I was just another paying client. He is trustworthy, fair, professional, and really listened to my concerns. I felt like I was a valued client. I have retained him for other matters, including domestic violence, DUI, and landlord cases. I feel 100 percent confident having him as my attorney!

Vincent is the registered agent for my company. He does an excellent job of keeping up with any changes to requirements and letting me know if there is anything I need to do from my end. He files all the necessary paperwork in a timely manner. As I am based overseas, his work on my behalf spares me any surprises or worry.

We hired Kim for a custody case for our 2 year old Granddaughter , after some other lawyer we had screwed everything up . She came right in and took over in the middle of a nasty battle. And proved to the court exactly what my granddaughters best interests where. She did what she said she would do and we will never forget her saving our granddaughter from a life of horror. We are so grateful to have met Kim !!!

I've highly recommended Tim to several friends and family who need an attorney they can trust. Personally, I've hired Tim several times for personal and business representation. With his experience, knowledge, and help, my business saved over $5,000 in a case against us. He's also helped me with sorting out corporate and "partner" issues. I sleep better at night knowing Tim is in my corner when legal issues arise.

After meeting with other attorneys about divorce and custody, I found Jennifer. I instantly felt comfortable and confident with my plan to leave an abusive situation with her help. Over 4 years later, I remain absolutely thankful for her ongoing help and guidance. She enabled me find my voice when I thought I had none - and the confidence to stand up for myself and my child. She is consistently responsive whenever new situations arise. I consider her a partner and value her guidance and advice.

Jennifer was supportive during a non-traditional divorce. She would give me gentle nudges when difficult choices had to be made and reminded me that there truly is a light at the end. I knew I could count on her filing paperwork on time and contacting the right professionals. Quiet often after a tense situation, we would have a good laugh, then push forward. Thank you Jennifer

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!

Michael Laws is a fantastic attorney. He advocated for me and my best interests through out the entire divorce process. He went above and beyond to help ease a difficult and emotional situation. He promptly addressed any concerns, responded to emails efficiently, always treated me with dignity/respect, and most importantly got me out of a very toxic marriage.

I hired Attorney Worsley to take on my case which was turned down by many attorneys (7) in the northeast due to the complexity of the cases involved. Fact is she was up against a Family Law Attorney who's office is in Lowell Massachusetts. With Attorney Worley's expertise we were well armed in the courtrooms to handle the criminal and domestic charges that were filed against my X husband. With class Attorney Worsley professionally tore him and his Attorney apart in the courtroom. Attorney Worsley stood up for what was right, she defended myself and my 3 daughters with professionalism. Because of Attorney Worsley's brilliant courtroom expertise she had won on every level in each of the hearings in the Merrimack District Court, putting to shame our opponent. As I sit here today I cant help but think what an amazing job she had done for my 3 daughters and myself. We are free from his abuse and lies. we no longer live in constant fear. My daughters and I can sleep peacefully now thanks to Attorney Worsley. Thank you Attorney Worsley for giving my daughters and myself a peaceful and happy life.

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.
