Oliver represented me over a span of a few years in 2 different matters. He is very honest and straight forward which I appreciated. The staff (Larissa) is extremely attentive and responsive, as Oliver is too. I felt like they actually cared about my family. They’re great! They make a very stressful time less agonizing with clear concise communication. Also they’re available when needed for any urgent issues.

I reached out to Cari for legal assistance after my ex-husband served me with expanded demands for an out-of-state visitation agreement for our teenage daughter. At the time, I had full physical/legal custody and my daughter was against the proposed travel schedule.
Cari was a fierce advocate for both of us. She expertly managed a tense situation with compassion and strength. She stayed level-headed and expertly navigated negotiations no matter what the other side threw at us.
From day one, I felt very taken care of and knew I could count on her to respond to all of my questions and keep me well-informed. Cari always took the time to explain the situation to me and the pros and cons of different paths we could take. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, she helped me feel empowered and secure.
My daughter and I are in a better place now because of Cari and I encourage anyone in a similar situation to work with Rincker Law. I will always be grateful for Cari’s strategic abilities, attentiveness and interpersonal skills.

As I reflect on my life and all the trial and tribulations that my family and I endured, there has been one constant staple and that is Mr. Lawrence Baker. Larry cared for our family as if we were part of his. Both my husband and I went through divorces prior to be married to one another. Our family faced many losses of loved ones and had to deal with the unfortunate battles within surrogate court. When I went out on a limb to stand up to my employer thru the Human Rights Division, Larry came out on that limb with me. Through it all, Larry never waivered, he remained diligent as our counsel and remained loyal as a friend. In the 22+ years that our family and Mr. Baker have teamed together to secure our family's future, I can firmly state there is no one better to go into battle with than Mr. Baker. Integrity, pure honesty, diginity, loyal, compassionate, etc. The Griffin family is honored that Mr. Baker welcomed us as clients.

In searching for a divorce attorney, I found Lisa after talking to 3 other divorce attorneys. I chose Lisa because she spoke to me with her honest opinion and I felt at ease during the whole process. She explained everything with patience and in a timely manner. She gave me her recommendations and I asked more questions. All to end up in a very amical divorce. I cannot thank her enough.

Heather Fig is an outstanding Attorney. She should be awarded the highest rating that any rubric offers. She is ethical, extremely hard working, eminently knowledgeable, dedicated, and caring. She is familiar with every detail of my case and the law. She applies herself so completely that one would think she’s working for a relative. Honestly there should literally be a line at her office to procure her representation. She’ll restore your good name if you are wrongly accused. Her reputation in the courthouse proceeds her. People actually stand back and say ooh when they hear that you have Heather Fig defending you. Seriously, if you don’t pick her to represent you you’re making a mistake.
Her staff is equally terrific. She would never surround herself with anything but the best. Working with her has been a genuine source of inspiration.

highly recommended. I have been included in a number of class action lawsuits with Leeds. First thing- they have an lovely secretary who picks up the phone right away. 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!!!

Prior to this year, I never had the need to engage a personal injury attorney but that changed when a third party created a hazard causing my injury. A friend recommended John and I’m glad I reached out. During my initial consultation, John set expectations, discussed next steps, potential outcomes and assigned Brian to my case. Brian navigated the process expertly and brought an unwavering focus to my case. His professionalism, compassion, and passion for helping a client is unmatched. My goal was for the third party to be held accountable for their gross negligence to hopefully prevent them from doing this to someone else. I believe John, Brian and team achieved this goal by securing an exceptional settlement for this type of injury. I highly recommend John, Brian and Schwartzapfel Lawyers.

I cannot recommend Gus and his firm highly enough. I had no idea what I was getting into with my divorce, and Gus was exactly who I needed on my side. His knowledge of the Westchester family court system and all the players is invaluable. As a lawyer myself, I was impressed with his breadth of experience and family law knowledge. More importantly, his warmth, practical good sense and humor will get you through the toughest times. Don’t hesitate to hire Gus and his team!!!

I can't recommend Gus Dimopoulos highly enough, he was a lifesaver during my divorce. Going through a divorce is undoubtedly one of the most challenging experiences one can face, but Gus made the process as smooth and manageable as possible. The financial issues in my case were extremely complicated as I own a complex business and there were significant 8-figure valuation issues to deal with. Complicating matters were disagreements with custody. Gus took the time to understand the concerns, and managed to balance the matter that was often charged with children’s issues against the level-headed approach to the financial aspects of the case.
He managed to bring about the settlement that I wanted by stepping foot in court only once. On the one occasion we did have to go to Court, Gus completely controlled the room and got me the result I needed on that particular issue. In fact, I think my ex was happy to settle after watching Gus in court during that one appearance.
I could not be happier and more grateful with the results he was able to achieve, and we continue to have a friendship long after the ink on the settlement agreements dried.

First, thank you to everyone who provided a positive review prior to this one. Those reviews lead me to Anthony. After a great consultation at no cost I retained Anthony for a custody case and he was able to handle everything related to that case perfectly. Honest, fast responses, a willingness to be direct with me and a clear understanding of the law lead to a great outcome. I will not hesitate to use Anthony again. I had spoken with a number of local attorneys most of which seemed fine but Anthony stood out. Thanks again, Anthony. You turned a stressful, frightening situation into one that was easily handled and quickly resolved.

Speeding ticket, serious violation (allegedly 31 over)...a mess. I reached out to Anthony, he responded immediately, I got him the info he needed, and that was it. My work was done. His was just getting started.
Court date arrived, Anthony attended on my behalf (I did not attend). I received a fine and zero points.
I was referred to Anthony by a friend who told me I'd love this guy, and she was right! If you need an attorney, this is The Man - period. He is responsive, understanding, efficient, and really (really!) good at his job.

It's a hard pill to swallow when you come to a point where you must debate on whether you should file for bankruptcy or not. After weighing all possible options, I decided to file and was referred to Robert Fox. It had started as an initial phone call with quick questions regarding your income, your debt and your expenses. This is what they call the Means test. After answering all the questions, I was told I was a "good" candidate to file. We then proceeded to schedule a future date to talk again going into further details about my debt and expenses. What was really nice for me was i asked if we should talk over the phone or meet in person. Robert said it was my preference and really didn't mind if I chose either way. He understood that people were busy and couldn't always make time to travel to his office. However, he did suggest that meeting in person would be more personable. That right away made me feel a bit more relieved during the process. It gave me a sense of security in knowing he wanted to do his job and do it right. And if it meant putting a face to a file, then i was all for it.
On my office visit, I was greeted by Iris at the front desk. (Please pay attention to her. She is another instrumental person in the process). Very pleasant and nice lady. After meeting with Robert and getting all the things done during our discussion, Iris gave me papers to look over and sign and gave me my list of things to do over the next couple of days. She also told me she would be in contact with me from time to time til my hearing. And in the days leading up to my hearing, she always gave me detailed instructions on everything and anything. Don't worry, Robert was always available for me whenever I had any questions.
Now one thing before I end my review. You, as the client, must do everything asked of you by Robert and Iris if you want the whole process to go smoothly and without a hitch. If you do your part, and do it right, they can do theirs correctly.
Robert and Iris, thank you for everything. A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Thank you again.

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:
-
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.
