Spent nearly $30k for absolutely no results. They constantly threaten to drop you. When you leave they make it very difficult for another attorney to get your case information.

As we age, making sure that all of one’s affairs are in order, notarized and signed by not only you, but a legal representative and a witness can be an overwhelming task, and one that may put off until it is too late. When my wife and I decided to finally complete this task and began researching Law Firms to assist in this process we finally narrowed it down to the The New Mexico Legal Group located in Albuquerque, NM. The New New Mexico Legal Group has a tremendous Staff of Receptionists, Paralegals, and Attorneys to help insure that your Estate Planning is exactly worded the way that you want your wishes to be followed when you can not say those words yourself. Samantha Day, Esquire, was the Attorney that my Wife and I connected with. We told her exactly what our wishes were and some even needed to be adjusted in a better manner and Samantha was very patient and understanding of our desires and wishes. We left feeling that we had been not only heard but understood. Within Two Weeks we had a complete Estate Plan that had the wording that was clear, understandable, and left no room to contest any scenario. There also is a page that allows us to make any changes as/if they occur. This Law Firm, and in particular, Attorney Samantha Day, really has the human part of what is needed when working as an attorney with a client regardless of the issue. Thank you New Mexico Legal Group for making something like Estate Planning feel as important as a High Profile Case. P.S. The fees are very reasonable for a Law Firm that treats you like you are their most important client.

This was the first time that we were able to work and collaborate together in the private sector and she showed true dedication and loyalty to her clients. She is a fearless litigator and staunch advocate. I enjoyed working with her on this case and look forward to looking with her in the future. I've referred her to friends and strangers alike in the past and would not hesitate to do so in the future.

I can’t speak highly enough of Tye Harmon! He handled my child custody case, which ultimately resulted in me receiving full custody, as well as the parent termination and stepparent adoption process. From start to finish, Tye was incredibly professional, compassionate, and dedicated. He made what could have been a stressful and emotional journey much easier by offering clear guidance and support every step of the way. What truly sets Tye apart, however, is his humility and sincerity—qualities that are hard to find in such a high-stakes profession. We trusted him completely, and he delivered results beyond our expectations. Tye is, without a doubt, our go-to recommendation for anyone needing legal representation. He has earned our utmost trust and gratitude. Thank you, Tye, for everything you’ve done for our family!

From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. Mr. Ray understood and supported my position throughout the case. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable attorney, I highly recommend Ray Law Office.

At every turn he took the time to explain all the possible outcomes and direct us towards the best decision. His expert understanding of the judicial system and family law enabled us to get to the outcome we wanted. Brian and his staff turned our families life around and we are so thankful for all his hard work.

Honestly, only in New Mexico do they incorrectly record your email and then blame you for it. I scheduled 3-4 consultations with them and then consistently never got a call. I was unable to make pre-payment because they had the wrong email (unbeknownst to me). In the end, they decided to decline rescheduling my appointment (likely due to the number of reschedules but, again, they should have taken the “hey I didn’t get your email” seriously and investigated). They wasted my time, and I would not recommend them.

Very unfortunate to have engaged with this law firm. Kam is a walking talking scam. He basically told me that my case was "a six figure case for him". That "whether I win or loose I get my money", he said. He pointed out to me an example of the lawyer representing the seller in my case who had written a very wordy response letter to my (at the time lawyer) Kam. He pointed out that the sellers lawyer was "milking the seller".The demand letter Kam wrote for me was also very wordy.🤷‍♀️ He also told me that I could be counter sued but "not to worry, he would represent me if that happened. "It will just cost you more money". I was stunned at his lack of professionalism and seeming greed. When I fired him I asked for copies of all my case documents that I painstakingly organized and sent him. He gave me a disk drive with 1/3 of the documents half of which were unreadable. I had to file a complaint to get my case file in total. Take your money and run.

In my 41 years on this planet, I have never needed an attorney. I made the initial mistake of hiring another attorney in the early stages of my case. It quickly became clear I needed a new team, and I all but barged into their office during their lunch break. It was the best decision I ever made. When the time came for my divorce to protect my assets, custody, and really, my livelihood, I cannot say enough about this team. Nathan Frazier is a highly intelligent, compassionate and decent human that truly cares about his clients. I was emotionally distraught during my divorce with custody case and Nathan truly came through. Laurie and Lorrie are extremely efficient and know their stuff. The combination of a paralegal that's ON it, a kick a** attorney that is well respected and a divorce financial expert in Lorrie only sets you up for success. It was clear watching negotiations that I had the right team behind me. It became very clear, VERY fast that having a respected legal team in the community makes all the difference. Despite the craziness of my case, they were cool, calm and collected every step of the way. What struck me about this team was how they connect on a human level - they truly saw me for the person that I am and that resonated in the courts. I got everything I asked for and more - If it wasn't for this team, I don't know where I'd be right now. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!

Tiffany Oliver Leigh is unprofessional, accusatory, and can’t be trusted. She told me in an email “Moreover, there is no requirement that you know of their whereabouts at all times.” I’m the father of 2 boys and she is saying this. No requirement? My boys are both under age 18 and every parent, should be “required “ to know where their children are at all times. It’s kind of a LAW. A lawyer said this. She also told me “I’m not in the business of breaking families apart”, but her words and her actions do not match. My family has been torn apart since the first day she was hired. I submitted a formal complaint to the Supreme Court of New Mexico for her misconduct and horrible communication skills. I emailed her 3 weeks in advance, so that she wouldn’t be last minute making decisions. She didn’t even look at my email and responded 4 weeks later to accuse me of harassment and being a drunk driver. My driving record is impeccable. Not to mention , she had no response to the email I sent 4 weeks earlier. Please be very aware of this if you decide to hire her as your attorney and if she’s the opposing attorney, you are at her mercy as a lawyer and judge.

As we age, making sure that all of one’s affairs are in order, notarized and signed by not only you, but a legal representative and a witness can be an overwhelming task, and one that may put off until it is too late. When my wife and I decided to finally complete this task and began researching Law Firms to assist in this process we finally narrowed it down to the The New Mexico Legal Group located in Albuquerque, NM. The New New Mexico Legal Group has a tremendous Staff of Receptionists, Paralegals, and Attorneys to help insure that your Estate Planning is exactly worded the way that you want your wishes to be followed when you can not say those words yourself. Samantha Day, Esquire, was the Attorney that my Wife and I connected with. We told her exactly what our wishes were and some even needed to be adjusted in a better manner and Samantha was very patient and understanding of our desires and wishes. We left feeling that we had been not only heard but understood. Within Two Weeks we had a complete Estate Plan that had the wording that was clear, understandable, and left no room to contest any scenario. There also is a page that allows us to make any changes as/if they occur. This Law Firm, and in particular, Attorney Samantha Day, really has the human part of what is needed when working as an attorney with a client regardless of the issue. Thank you New Mexico Legal Group for making something like Estate Planning feel as important as a High Profile Case. P.S. The fees are very reasonable for a Law Firm that treats you like you are their most important client.

Hello. I had a very unpleasant experience with Will Jenkins. Just because he passed the BAR and is well-versed in legal and lawyer jargon does not give him the right to bully me or speak to me in a disrespectful fashion. I text him with a few qus re: personal property on a transaction he was overseeing and he started throwing words out like "breach of contract allows us to void the contract", "im still allowing you to pick it up at this point", and "pick it up at this time or im selling it to someone else... All because i had concerns and asked a few simple questions. I then went in to make a final pymt. I told him i didnt appreciate him being disrespectful and bullying me prior in those texts and that id like to speak to the Senior Partner to express my concerns. He says "you bullied a woman", "im a partner, the senior partner is not available, you can talk to me" "Hes going to side with me anyways" I told him ill never do business here nor will i refer anyone. The cherry on top-- he proceeds to say: " WHO CARES; WE'LL BE SUCCESSFUL ANYWAY" lol what kind of legitimate, professional law firm does business like that? Do they really engage the community and perspective clients like that? I was blown away. I even emailed the Senior Partner. He never responded. I guess he did side with him... Oh well. Just wanted to share my experience. Dont come here...

If you only care about money and asset division in your divorce, then Rosalie might be a good choice. I was extremely clear from the beginning that my child's welfare and living situation was my only concern and she spent the majority of her time on financial discovery and failed to adequately represent me at the custody hearing. She billed me during facilitation while her camera was off and she was working on someone else's case. After I emailed about the charges, Tamara reduced the bill. Tamara switched me to Rosalie without my consent and she failed to read the letter I sent describing my situation before we spoke the first time. She did not prep me for the custody hearing and did not make any strong arguments in my favor and the judge did nothing about an awful living situation. She did not represent me well during facilitation and I got virtually nothing I wanted because of her failure to fight on my behalf. I wish I never hired this firm.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. I chose Tamara because of her strong assertive personality, and because she was understanding about my financial situation and agreed to keep costs as low as possible. I had escaped a very bad marriage, and couldn’t afford a lawyer to get a divorce, which I just decided to live with since my ex moved across country and couldn’t hurt me too much from that far away. But a year later, my ex was diagnosed with a serious medical condition that required brain surgery, and his family tricked me into giving them my address and sent all the medical bills my way. It was tens of thousands of dollars, and I was still broke from leaving the marriage in the first place. I was so scared and realized I needed a divorce asap. I had to save up for a year to afford the retainer, and was initially told I would probably have to pay at least half of the medical bills. But in the end, Tamara got me out of ALL of the bills, out of my marriage, AND kept costs so low that she gave me half of my retainer back! Truly life-changing work that she did for me; I would not be in the place I am today without her help.

My call and potential case were quickly screened by the receptionist/legal assistant, and I was told she would pass my information to the legal team/attorneys to review. A few days later I received a call back that the legal team would not offer me a free consultation with no explanation. I asked if I could be referred anywhere in the area that could help with legal advice. She could not give me any information, resources, and did not call me back when I asked for an hourly rate to have legal advice and questions answered. I felt left in the dark and would not recommend this law firm.

I could write pages on the incredibly positive experience my mom and I had with Brian Egolf, Heather Tanner, and the staff at Egolf+Ferlic+Martinez+Harwood law firm. I reached out to them in the most devastating moment in our life when my mom and I lost my brother, Patrick, due to what we believed was because of the negligent care he received by two medical facilities. Brian immediately set up a call to gather information and moved forward with filing a wrongful death case. Over the course of the next two years, we worked with Brian and Heather through an emotionally difficult journey of grieving the loss of our favorite person in the world, while trying to find justice for him. Not only were they impeccable and diligent in working the case for us and Patrick, but they helped us heal with their consistent compassion, empathy, and kindness. They worked the case like it was for their own family member bringing their heart to the case. They put in an incredible amount of time and energy, and they hired a top-notch medical expert. We will be forever grateful and highly recommend them for any legal circumstances a person may be facing.

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.
