John Gemelli represented me in my extremely difficult divorce. Over the three years that it took he always took every call, was completely available when not in court and is the most brilliant legal mind you can have on your side. Hire him. Hire his partners. They are excellence personified and will get you through all the hard times pertaining to your case. I can not express my gratitude enough that he exists as a divorce attorney, for how well he handled my case.

I started the divorce process with another lawyer. I was very unhappy with his service. I was referred to John Gemelli. I am so glad that I made the change. John was excellent. Josephine was the main attorney on my case. Josephine is a star. My divorce was a long arduous process due to a business appraisal. Josephine was always extremely responsive, honest and gave me tough love when I needed it. I am very happy with the deal that we made. I’d recommend Josephine Marino, John Gemelli and the entire staff to anyone in need of divorce attorneys, you will be in great hands! Thank you!

**A Heartfelt Thank You to Michael Alber, Esq.**
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Michael Alber, a dedicated and compassionate lawyer, for his invaluable assistance during a challenging time in my life. Despite my financial constraints, Mr. Alber generously took the time to guide me through the intricacies of my case, explaining each step in detail and ensuring I understood the process ahead.
What truly stood out was Mr. Alber's genuine commitment to helping others. Not only did he provide me with a comprehensive plan of action, but he also went above and beyond by reaching out via text to reassure me that he is always available for further assistance. His willingness to support and his unwavering dedication to his clients are qualities that set him apart as an exceptional legal professional.

I recently made a call to Alber Sklavos, PC, to speak with my Attorney Alexander Sklavos, with regards my case that was successfully handled sometime ago, but due to some recent events, and new concerns, I needed to reach out to have some questions answered. I felt genuine relief, after receiving a call back from my attorney, and having my concerns addressed. Alexander Sklavos not only remembered me as his client, and despite some time passing since my case, which was resolved, Sklavos was able to retrieve, acknowledge, and address my questions, and concerns for my family, on a human level, in the utmost knowledgeable, and professional manner. One of the first statements I made when I called was, " I know I was your client in past, but I really need to speak with you", the response from Alexander Sklavos was " Vanessa, once a client, you are always our client, no matter how much time has passed". I can not begin to tell you, how comforted I felt with those words. I could immediately feel that my family is safe, and protected always. When dealing with my family's legal needs there's no one I could trust more. Thank you Abler Sklavos law firm for making my families needs a priority, and easing my worries.

Steven and his team were extremely responsive to my questions and concerns.
There was not a time that Steven did not respond to any of my questions the same day. It took 18 months for my case to be settled and he kept in the loop the entire time.
If it wasn’t for Steven’s kindness, I don’t think I could have done it.

This is the first time I’ve dealt with the McBride Law Group and it was through a referral from my realtor. I can say that I was pleasantly surprised and somewhat relieved at how easy it was dealing with Corinne, particularly given that, as a non-New Yorker, I was fearful of a more New York, ivory-tower style attorney. I’m grateful to Corinne for the high level of her service and “value for the fee”!

My mother ended up in some financial difficulty and was advised to get Mr. David for her services. He is kind and listens to exactly what his client needs. He goes beyond the time to work late at night to make his client happy. We would recommend him to anyone. It was speedy and polite. My mother Roseanne was very pleased and is finely at ease with the outcome.

I had the unfortunate experience of being involved in an auto accident. During this incredibly stressful time, I was fortunate to have the expertise and support of Attorney Lee and Mark DeCicco. From the very beginning, they demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism, empathy, and dedication to my case.
One of the most commendable aspects of Attorney Mark DeCicco's service was his consistent and open communication. He was always available to answer my questions, whether by phone or email. I never felt like just another case; I felt genuinely cared for and supported throughout the entire process.
Thanks to Attorney Mark DeCicco's truly exceptional skills and hard work, I received a settlement that far exceeded my expectations. I cannot recommend Attorney Mark DeCicco and the whole Sackstein, Sackstein & Lee team highly enough for anyone in need of an auto accident lawyer. You need them in your corner to win and win with the BEST possible outcome!

I had the pleasure of working with David Jason Cohen as my lawyer, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his support and expertise. He not only helped me with my case but also used his deep knowledge of the law to find special precedents that allowed us to cancel the case before it even began. David is incredibly skilled, and his sharp legal insight truly made a difference in my situation. Beyond his legal expertise, David is a wonderful person to work with—he’s nice, very communicative and always made sure I understood every step of the process. He even took the time to introduce me to other lawyers from his office who could help with different aspects of the case like immigration and family side, which was incredibly helpful. I highly recommend David Jason Cohen to anyone seeking legal assistance!

I wish I could give more stars.
I am honored to express my gratitude, appreciation, and experience with Mr. David Cohen and his team. About a year or 2 ago, a family friend of mine went through a very difficult period. We were fortunate enough to be referred to Mr. Cohen and have him represent my friend during a helpless time.
As a graduating law student, I want to share my experience with Mr. Cohen as I sat along side my family friend throughout the proceedings. I could not have gained a better insight into the real life practice of a criminal defense attorney. From start to finish, Mr. Cohen was persistent and fought for his client - providing brilliant legal strategies and responses to anticipated opposing counsel arguments.
As a student, law school serves a (great) purpose - learning the law. But real life work is a different adventure altogther. Observing Mr. Cohen practice and successfully represent someone so dear to me was nothing short of inspirational.
The firm went above and beyond what could have been expected from legal counsel. They were prompt, available at all times, and provided unwavering support which instilled a very much needed sense of confidence.
The outcome would not have been possible without Mr. Cohen and his team. I am sure of it. And so this expression of gratitude is just a minor token of our appreciation.
I, personally, am privileged to have learned from Mr. Cohen as I enter the legal profession. And I know my friend is beyond grateful for Mr. Cohen. It is hard to express in words!
Thank you for everything.

I don’t think I could ever put into words the kindness, sympathy, intellect and professionalism that these attorneys showed to myself and my family. Cory Forman and David Cohen were literally life-savers. To give a brief background, my mother was stuck in Europe after she mistakenly traveled on an expired permanent resident card. I thought that she would be stuck for months alone in the midst of a broken immigration system, with delay after delay to her documents. Cory and David somehow knew exactly how to solve this situation and immediately made all the calls necessary, spoke to the right people, filed the right things and pulled off nothing short of a miracle. My mom was back home safe and sound on American soil within days. She was treated with the care and attention by this entire firm as if it were their own mother stuck in some foreign country. Safe to say, there is no where else I will go for all immigration concerns from here on out. 5 stars is not nearly enough for the great job these guys did. A true class act all around, we are forever indebted to them.

I cannot recommend Alexandra highly enough as a divorce attorney. From the very beginning, she was empathetic, patient, and kind, qualities that are so important during such a challenging time. Alexandra skillfully maneuvered the negotiation process, helping to avoid the stress and expense of litigation. Her mastery of the legal process, combined with her deep understanding of the emotional aspects of divorce, made all the difference for me. I am incredibly grateful to have had Alexandra in my corner and would encourage anyone going through a divorce to seek her guidance.

There is no way for me to express how grateful I am for Ms. Sanderson’s help and service. She is truly a gift sent from god, she truly cares and will go out of her to take care of her clients and stand by your side. People like her are what give me faith in the American justice system because you can always count on her to do her best by you. She saved my life and I owe my second chance at life to her.

My wife and I realized that establishing our Wills was an overdue task. We contacted several local attorneys and were surprised that many did not even respond! Anne Letterio replied promptly and cheerfully answered our questions about the process and the cost. Her knowledge and advice gave us guidance on what can be a stressful undertaking!
At her office, everything was well-organized, clearly explained and handled pleasantly with a minimum of fuss. We certainly feel comfortable recommending Anne and her staff to any in need of estate planning related legal services.
For the record, don't let my last name fool you! I checked, and it turns out I am not related to Anne Letterio's law partner.

Anyway sometimes the law is not on our side but she was able to get me the best outcome I could ever imagine. I am so grateful for this lady and her firm to be there for me when no other would. I would definitely recommend Miss Barrett and her Firm to any and all hard struggling hard working families out there. Sometimes it's not about the $$$ but about the struggle. ✌️

In an age of tapping on numbers to get to different deptartments, this just makes life easier. I have been in touch with Dave Mayo a number of times who answered all my questions thoroughly as if he had all the time in the world. If you want boutique service, I highly recimmend Leeds!!!

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.

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.

- 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.
