Attorney Aja Mann, was my lawyer for 13 years. In those 13 years of representing me, she was outstanding! Not only did she advise me with wisdom and grace, she taught me that you must be fair and compassionate when it comes to difficult situations while co-parenting. Because of her I was able to obtain full custody of my son, and I thank her every day for in some form or fashion for bringing me joy and peace.

After visiting my son who lives out of state, I was deeply concerned by his emotional struggles and the difficulties he was facing at home with his mom. As a divorced parent living in another state, I felt powerless to advocate for him and feared I was failing as a father. My visitation rights and other arrangements had always been unfair, dictated by the terms of the other party.
From our first conversation, Aja reassured me that I had parental rights and a voice in my son's well-being. Her exceptional negotiation skills and unwavering advocacy led to more equitable arrangements for our family, prioritizing my son's health and happiness. We are incredibly grateful for her efforts and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sharp, dedicated attorney who will fight for you.

I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the outstanding service Sky Law Group has provided throughout my case. From start to finish, professionalism and dedication were evident at every turn.
I am particularly grateful to Rosie, who was truly exceptional in every aspect. She consistently went above and beyond to assist me, always being available to answer my questions and guide me through each step of the process.
The entire team’s expertise and support have made a significant difference, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with such a talented and compassionate group of professionals.
Thank you once again for everything. I will certainly recommend your firm to others in need of legal assistance.

Jessica Castro and her staff were beyond amazing. She took on my case and supported me throughout the entire process. The case took a year to finalize; however, she kept me updated every step of the way. Even after I received my compensation check, she continued to follow up with me. I am beyond thankful for her and her incredible staff. My insurance company did not have my back the way she did. I truly appreciated having a lawyer who genuinely cares and works hard for her clients. I would recommend her to anyone - you won't be disappointed.

Jessica took on my case for a rear end accident in Northern California. She was referred and highly recommended and I couldn't be happier. She helped me with every step of my recovery and made sure I was getting all the treatment necessary. Even contacting places if their care wasn't up to her standard. Jessica has been an absolute delight to work with and got me a settlement beyond what I could have imagined. She even referred me to a financial advisor to help with my new found cash. Can't recommend her enough.

I hired Kaleen for a restraining order case which I was super happy about her helping me out with and winning the case. I then proceeded to hire her to take care of my divorce and child custody and we’ll then things just went down after that. Kaleen and Andrew don’t go above and beyond for their clients. They don’t answer all questions and are not reliable. With my case being so on going, they both decided to just give me the substitution of attorney without finishing my case even though I’ve payed for all services. I felt more anxious and overwhelmed my last hearing while being represented by them. If you want an attorney to have your back and fight for you, they will not be the right people for you.

If you are ever in a tough bind, I would highly suggest Ashley Daniel as your Criminal Defense Attorney. With his previous experience working on the other side of the opposition as a District Attorney, he is able to view things holistically as other attorneys would lack experience in. In return, this would benefit the entire situation, whether or not the allegations are true.
Ashley makes every effort to go above and beyond for you. He tries to help people genuinely by earning an honest living. His prices are reasonable to his scope of practice. His dedication is over the top with his clients and it shows in his tenacious approach.
With that said, it is always best to consider an attorney who will listen to you as a friend and will provide you with the help you are in. Give him a call and I am sure it would not be regrettable.

If I could leave a negative review, I absolutely would. My experience with Sharman and her team has been deeply disappointing. Despite being entrusted with my case for nearly a year, no meaningful progress was made, and the situation was made worse due to her lack of preparation and attention to detail.
Sharman clearly never took the time to study my case, which became evident through her repeated oversights and lack of understanding of critical details. Her inaction and carelessness have left me and my family in over $20,000 of debt. Worse, when I retained a new attorney, they discovered that critical documents—like the initial dissolution petition—were missing from the case file Sharman’s team provided.
The contrast between my new attorney and Sharman’s approach is stark. My new attorney is working diligently to fix the damage caused, and the difference is night and day. Sharman’s lack of care and effort has turned my case against me, which no client should have to endure.
I share this review not out of anger but to inform others of my experience. Single parents and vulnerable families deserve better than to be taken advantage of. Please do your research before retaining this attorney or firm.

Mr. Mor has been a very helpful and generous soul this weekend. I am currently on unemployment and my unscrupulous former employers decided to challenge my approved claim. Mr. Mor was a cold call and he informed me I did not need to hire him and he spent about 40 minutes counseling me why and explaining some tips. He then had me send over a 40 page document involving the case and gave me another complimentary consultation regarding his thoughts. WHAT LAWYER IN THE WORLD WOULD DO THIS ALL FOR FREE? We had no prior relationship I simply google'd him and he was this kind to me. He specializes in wrongful termination and EDD/unemployment matters. I HIGHLY recommend consulting with this gentleman should a matter arise for you. What a great and caring man. Full disclaimer I had never met him before the cold google call. Sincerely, Mike M.

He was a bumbling incompetent attorney and I got what I paid for - bargain basement. If you have zero issues he may fumble his way through your case. Anything complex and it’s over his head and he’s out lawyered. I got a call from his assistant on another post I made asking what they can do before responding. Not only is he incompetent- he’s keen to blame everyone but himself and his poor skills. Lots of other attorneys to pick from. Don’t waste your time and money with this guy who can’t add up basic numbers.

I would never recommend anyone to use Emily as their attorney. I hired her many many years ago to represent me for my child custody/ support case and she did nothing to help me. I did all the leg work by providing her all my documents, going to the court to retrieve old documents from previous cases with the father of my children. The day of court she showed up with no paperwork, good thing I was prepared and had a copy of the whole case with me that she used. After months of not hearing from her with an update she informed me the judge threw out my case due to the other parent having outstanding violations and that I could pay the tickets myself to live forward which turned out to be a lie years later. I went to the court to try to proceed with the case on my own and the staff thought I was crazy and advised me to fire my attorney because they hard record she showed up to court on an unknown date and represented me and the judge did actually grant me full custody and child support which I did not know about for years. When I asked for the final documents they informed me the child support will not be valid since the attorney filed the order after hearing incorrectly and left off the child support but it was mentioned in the minute order. Per the court staff I would have to refill all the paperwork and serve the other parent again and go before a judge. It’s impossible for me to serve the other parent as he is in jail far away and financially I do not have the funds nor time to do this as this has been a case going since about 2013. Do not waste your time or money because you will be left doing the attorney work on your own.

I cannot express this enough, But Emily is a professional, understanding, and aggressive lawyer who will speak and fight for your Justice.
First thing’s first, I am very proud of my attorney, she really understands and takes into consideration the needs of her clients very seriously and acts accordingly. The Domestic Violence Restraining Order was DENIED AND CASE DISMISSED. Do not miss out on Emily, trust in her and her skills and follow her lead. Her cross examination skills are phenomenal. During my trial Emily defended me and I was able to see her be 10 steps ahead of petitioner and her attorney. She won my case and most importantly SHE REUNITED ME WITH MY DAUGHTER after 4 months of not being able to see her. I will forever be grateful to Emily, she will always be someone in my life that I will never forget. The way she spoke for me and represented me in that court room is something I will never forget. She took the stress away from me and assured me that their is Justice for MEN. I highly recommend Emily for representation!!

I want to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding legal services provided by Emily Marx throughout the duration of my lengthy child custody case. The dedication, knowledge, and professionalism demonstrated by Emily Marx were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome that has positively impacted the lives of my children and me.
From the moment I met Emily, I was impressed by her compassionate and empathetic approach. She took the time to listen attentively to my concerns, ensuring that every important detail of my case was thoroughly understood. This personal touch made me feel valued as a client and instilled a sense of confidence in her abilities.
Throughout the years, Emily Marx consistently went above and beyond to advocate for the best interests of my two daughters. She exhibited exceptional expertise in family law matters, providing me with expert guidance and advice every step of the way. Her extensive knowledge of the legal system, combined with her sharp analytical skills, allowed her to develop a strategic plan that ultimately led to a successful outcome.
What impressed me the most about attorney, Emily Marx was her unwavering commitment to my case. She invested an enormous amount of time and effort, always promptly responding to my inquiries and ensuring that I was well-informed about the progress of my case. Emily Marx consistently demonstrated professionalism, integrity, and a genuine passion for her work.
Not only did Emily Marx possess excellent legal acumen, but she also had exceptional interpersonal skills. She managed to navigate complex family dynamics and difficult courtroom situations with grace and poise. Her ability to articulate our position effectively in court was commendable, leaving no doubt in my mind that I was in capable hands.
Finally, I would be remiss not to mention the invaluable support provided by Emily Marx's dedicated team. Her paralegal and support staff were always willing to lend a helping hand, ensuring that all necessary documentation and deadlines were met seamlessly. Together, this cohesive team exhibited a level of professionalism and dedication that exceeded my expectations.
Thanks to the exceptional legal representation provided by Emily Marx and her team, I can now enjoy a brighter future with my children. I highly recommend her services to anyone facing a child custody battle or any family law matter. In trusting Emily Marx, you can be confident that you are working with an individual who will fight for your family's best interests tirelessly.
Once again, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Emily Marx and her team for their unwavering support, legal expertise, and commitment to achieving justice on behalf of my two lovely daughters and me.
Again,
THANK YOU!

This review is for partner (formerly associate) Michael Jones. I have had the opportunity to work with him on a few legal issues I experienced and to know him as a colleague. Since I am grateful for his help, I am leaving this review to show support for his business.
As an attorney, I would say he is a true believer in the highest form of justice, one who genuinely cares about helping people navigate challenging legal situations, big and small. He was willing to help me with issues that other firms didn't consider worthwhile. I would recommend him as an attorney and I would also say that we need more people like this in the profession.

If I could give negative stars, I would. While it may sound cliché, it is absolutely true in this case. If you are considering hiring Ilona, please take a step I regret not taking: ask around about her reputation at various firms. Doing so could save you hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Ilona took 5-6 months to draft a Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA) based on mediation outcomes, a task that should have taken just a few days. This delay resulted in costs of $50,000 to $60,000 for a poorly executed MSA. This amount does not even cover the majority of her work, which was far from satisfactory.
It’s important to know that there are remedies if you find yourself in a situation with an attorney who appears to intentionally botch work for future financial gain. This experience ranks among the top five worst mistakes I've made in 44 years. I cannot stress enough the importance of asking around before hiring.
Additionally, when I requested her to correct her mistakes, she demanded more money to do so. What other service demands additional payment to fix their own intentional errors? It’s incomprehensible.
Also she uses tactics to fool people with multiple google review pages to spam
Out the bad reviews with 5 star reviews with someone with 1-2 reviews and one happens to be for her. Such deceptive behavior

After visiting my son who lives out of state, I was deeply concerned by his emotional struggles and the difficulties he was facing at home with his mom. As a divorced parent living in another state, I felt powerless to advocate for him and feared I was failing as a father. My visitation rights and other arrangements had always been unfair, dictated by the terms of the other party.
From our first conversation, Aja reassured me that I had parental rights and a voice in my son's well-being. Her exceptional negotiation skills and unwavering advocacy led to more equitable arrangements for our family, prioritizing my son's health and happiness. We are incredibly grateful for her efforts and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sharp, dedicated attorney who will fight for you.

I called different law firms and Berstein Law was the only firm I called that someone ( not an answering machine) actually answered my call. Within a short period of time, I consulted with one of the lawyers who was very professional and competent. Days after hiring Berstein Law, everything was resolved. Additionally, Bernstein Law kept my legal costs at a minimum. Without any reservation, I strongly recommend Berstein Law to anyone or any business seeking legal advice, help, and/or representation.

Has done nothing in my case. Filed for divorce with him and William, very nice people but do not do anything just take your money. My divorce should of been closed by now, especially when Ex even calls him to try and sign paperwork. But I guess they are just lazy and do not want to finish what the start.

I contacted the Vondran Law Firm over 10 days ago. The receptionist was short, seemingly in a hurry, and apparently disinterested in my call. I left my name and number asking for Steve or his assistant to call me back regarding a federal case in California. I never heard back from the firm.
One must ask, why does a law firm like this advertise and post videos on YouTube if when a new client contacts them they never even bother to call back?

Nguyen Law Group answered my questions and working with them was an easy choice. I made clear my need to keep costs down if possible, so they guided me through what I could do for myself throughout the process and I made sure not to be contacting them at every turn. They did their job well, were kind, professional, and helpful! They made the process as easy as possible and were clear at all times. I worked primarily with Neena and I appreciate her so much. I highly recommend Nguyen Law Group. They are compassionate and will help you whether you want a no frills, amicable divorce or whether you need them to pull out all the stops and go to bat for you in a difficult situation. By the way, it was as quick an painless as I could have imagined. We got started in May, filed in June, and it will be final January 3!
I would trust them with any of my legal needs.

I gotta be honest, I did not know what to expect halfway into a highly contentious, long, drawn-out battle in my divorce. COVID didn't help the process either. The Court ordered a Minor's Counsel. A friend of mine instantly knew who she was having dealt with custody issues in her divorce as well, and told me I'd love her. She was SO right. From day one, Barbara was open and honest with (both my ex and) me, but more importantly, brilliant with my teenager. They developed an excellent rapport and my teen completely respected and trusted her. She would remind me when I was ignorant or incorrect, and praise me when I had the right approach. Firm, but always professional. She was impartial towards us parents, but absolutely represented my kid's best interest. After my child refused to have contact with their mom, she further recommended Dr. Liberman as a Reconciliation Counselor, as they have worked together for years. I can only offer gratitude and praise for him as well. In the end, I was awarded full custody until my kid's 18th bday, and we remained protected from my ex-wife. The Court did the right thing, not only in their initial decision granting a DVRO and Custody, but also in introducing us to Barbara Fritz, Esq.

Miss Fritz will put your child into a dangerous situation by not going into every detail of the case. Also if you want miss Fritz to play favor to you make sure you are the one who pays more to her

Mr. Mooney is a likable fellow. However, he and his firm appear only concerned with billing your file. I found his performance to be disappointing at best. I do not recommend him or his firm.

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.
