I hired Sandra Radna as my malpractice attorney for two cases involving a misdiagnosis and improper treatment that led to a life-threatening condition, worsening my service-connected condition. Sandra was zealous in defending my interests every step of the way. Both cases were settled favorably around the five-year mark. I highly recommend Sandra to anyone dealing with personal injury issues—she fights hard for your interests and delivers results. She regularly responds, communicates and updates clients every step of the way.

I recently had the privilege of working with Jason Barbara during a challenging time in my life, and I cannot speak highly enough of their services. From start to finish, Jason Barbara demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, expertise, and compassion.
From our initial consultation, Jason Barbara took the time to understand the intricacies of my situation and provided clear, practical advice that helped me navigate the complexities of the divorce process. Their deep knowledge of family law was evident in every interaction, and they consistently offered sound strategies that prioritized my best interests.
What truly stood out was Jason Barbara’s ability to balance empathy with assertiveness. They were always available to answer questions, address concerns, and provide reassurance during what was undoubtedly a stressful period. Their support was not just legal, but also emotional, making a significant difference in how I experienced the process.
Jason Barbara was incredibly organized and detail-oriented, ensuring that no aspect of the case was overlooked. Their negotiation skills were impressive, and they were adept at achieving fair and favorable outcomes. I felt confident and well-represented throughout every phase of the proceedings.
In addition to their professional prowess, Jason Barbara and their team were approachable, respectful, and committed to delivering the best results. They made a difficult situation more manageable with their dedication and skill.
If you find yourself in need of a divorce lawyer who combines legal acumen with genuine care, I wholeheartedly recommend Jason Barbara. Their expertise and dedication make them an invaluable ally during such a pivotal time in life. Thank you, Jason Barbara, for your outstanding work and support!

Nothing has been done on my case for over a year, and the dude still held on to my balance and refused to give me a final invoice, adding to the emotional stress. I cannot get another lawyer until I am cleared from him financially. But he won't give me a final invoice and the balance so I can move forward. How are these things right?. This is one of the main reasons for firing him. Lies, lies, lies, lies. Do NOT use this firm!

This is a review on Kurta Law and specifically Jonathan Kurta. Jonathan reached out to me a few months back and was representing a group to recover funds on a stock loss. When I first discussed the issue he was very easy to talk to and I didn't feel pressured to join. After talking with him I agreed to move forward and he kept me informed as progress was made and ultimately got an excellent outcome. This is especially eventful due to the fact that the case was older than aloud but we still won the case. I highly recommend this company and Jonathan.

С Анатолием прошли долгий путь, было не легко, т.к мы с женой не понимали сосотояние нашего дела когда пришли к Анатолию от другого адвоката. Анатолий долго и упорно исправлял ошибки допущенные предудщим адвокатом. В конце концов мы добились результатов по нашему делу и очень благодарны Анатолию и всем его ребятам, которые участвовали и помогали нам пройти через весь процесс.

Mr.Gilman is a very experience attorney who knows exactly what he's doing. I was lucky enough to come across to his law firm a few years ago through yelp review, and retained his services for slip and fall claim. I couldn't be more satisfied with his representation and outcome of my claim. He made me feel confident about my claim being handled properly and timely.He had the patience to thoroughly explain and guide me through each step of the process, and provided me with a good advice. If you need reliable, experienced and professional representation in your claim, this is the right place to come,The Law Office of Scott Gilman.

Absolutely would recommend Sam' (Gluzberg)'s firm for all of your house buying needs. As a first time homebuyer the process was opaque but same was with us every step of the way. He responded to communications promptly and took the time to explain why every step was needed. He went a great way towards minimizing our stress and ultimately our buying process went smoothly, a testament to his attention to detail throughout the process. Would recommend and use again!

After having a lawyer that i felt didn't adequately represent me and had put me in a tough situation. Robert had taken on the case in my opinion on the losing team and was able to represent me and my daughter with our needs as top priority. Also having the case concluded after trial he had throughly reviewed the results and found an error. Then reached out to proceed with correcting the courts error. I couldn’t be happier with the practice and all staff!

STOP! Do Not Look Any Further! Robert is your man!
I have been dealing with my ex and her family literally since my son was born in 2011 and them trying relentlessly to get full custody of him. After the first three court fights with a different attorney and trying to appease demands and doing what was best for my son, that still was not good enough.
During my 3rd court fight in 2018, I reached out to Robert because I realized this was not going to stop. Even though I had another attorney at the time, I placed a retainer with Robert as well. I knew I would need someone more aggressive for a bigger fight that would come in the future. I wanted Robert to be familiar with my case and to plan for it. Well, that 4th fight came this year (2023-2024), and HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
Robert has the right balance of aggressiveness, exceptional knowledge, firmness, and negotiating skills. But if push comes to shove, just put your feet up, sit back, and watch! He will NEVER let you be bullied or give an inch on what you legally deserve. So much so, during this 4th court fight, Robert was able to modify my previous court orders (in favor of me), while the opposition filed custody petitions, enforcement petitions, and modification petitions. All of which failed!
Robert is still on retainer! Because as of today, the next time/the LAST TIME/the most important time...will be on our terms! Already preparing.
DO NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER!!!!
Thank you, Mr. Montefusco and Maureen! You truly are who you say you are!
Sincerely, Mr. Hampton

I think this is a review that needs to be posted for others like myself!
Robert Montefusco Law Group had served me in a moment of need, or should I say, when I needed someone to get me out of a disaster I found myself in, due to a incompetent attorney that misrepresented me for 3 years running prior. I finally had to stop the bleeding. I had enough of her poorly representing me!
I didn't realize how bad she was until I witnessed how good Mr. Montefusco is! It was a completely different experience.
She did not communicate with me at all throughout my experience with her. The only communication I had with her firm, was through the billing department. Overall she charged me more than $45,000.00 and I lost every appeal with the court!
Robert looked at what had happened prior to him taking the case, and gently explained that what she did really hurt my case. He never once said anything condescending about her but I was able to read between the lines.
When I decided to have Robert represent me at trial, we had less than three weeks to prepare. He worked into late at night, several nights and we ended up getting all our documents we needed together for the trial.
We went to court, I watched him represent me and I was in awe of his grasp on questioning the witness, (my ex) and watched his performance in the courtroom. He took complete control of the room, and I believe their was nobody that could have done a better job than Mr. Montefusco!
So I say, thank you so much for giving me confidence back in the legal system! You're due diligence I hope will pay off, because in the words of My Cousin Vinny, Just give him a chance, he can do this!

Very responsive, efficient, great expertise, professional yet down-to-earth! Peter is highly intelligent, competent and effective. His kindness and compassion is a special bonus.

I spoke to Peter about a legal issue with a company in Boston. He was great and took the time to discuss the issue with me and offered me really great advice. He couldn't take the case because the business is located in Boston but he provided me with a free consultation knowing in advance that he wouldn't be taking the case. I will be contacting him again with any legal issue I might need assistance with in New York.

Добрый день. Хочу поделиться опытом сотрудничества с Ксенией. Заключили соглашение и Ксения объяснила как и в какие сроки будет все происходить. Рассказала какие документы приготовить. Подготовила и подала необходимые формы, направила на сдачу отпечатков. Перед судом провела несколько консультаций, где объяснила как будет проходить процесс, как себя вести, к чему быть готовым, на какие нюансы особенно обратить внимание. Также Ксения подготовила дополнительные материалы, предоставила необходимые судебные прецеденты. Сам суд прошел как и предупреждала Ксения. Я благодарен Ксениие за отличную подготовку и проведение процесса.

Я долго искал хорошего адвоката и как мы все знаем очень трудно найти именно тех профессионалов своего дела. Благодаря Ксении я выиграл свой кейс и именно благодаря ее подходу к работе все получилось именно так как мы и хотели. Хотелось бы еще отметить что мой процесс проходил в республиканском штате и не смотря на это мы выиграли это дело! Она очень грамотно преподнесла пакет документов что тоже играет немаловажную роль.
Я всем рекомендую обращаться к услугам Ксении.
I had been searching for a skilled lawyer for a long time, and I'm thrilled to say that Ksenia exceeded my expectations. Her exceptional approach and expertise led to a successful outcome in my case, which was particularly impressive given the challenging circumstances of being in a republican state. Ksenia's ability to effectively present the documents was instrumental in our victory. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a top-notch lawyer. Thank you, Ksenia, for your outstanding work!

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.

- 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.
