Mr. Guilfoil is a great attorney!
I am extremely grateful for Paul Guilfoil's legal representation in my son's criminal case! Mr. Guilfoil has a great reputation and a great working relationship with the State Attorney’s Office. He was able to plea this case down to one of acceptance. A decision of this importance takes time, patience, and a clear head and this attorney (and office) fully handles this the best way possible.
Mr. Guilfoil was very accessible and returned messages in a timely manner, with some being after regular office hours! My son and I highly recommend Mr. Guilfoil as your criminal defense attorney and guarantee you he will work hard to get the best possible outcome for your situation as he did with my son.

One of the most straight forward attorneys out there. Paul refuses to beat around a bush with you. Very relaxed, laid back, down to Earth type of man. I completely trust him with everything and you should too. Has always done me right on a great deal of cases!

Truly blessed to have found this lawyer. Even though not a felony charge, enough to cause a major headache and 2 months of anxiety. Paul from the beginning gave an outcome of his thoughts on the case, even though there was no guarantee and I was on edge until the State finally dropped the case. Paul was very knowledgeable of the law, very professional, understood the system, kind and patient and had the experience to ascertain a situation clearly. I had faith in him the whole time and felt he always represented my best interest. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of his services.

Mrs. Daphne worked hours on top of hours to make sure I was more than satisfied with my outcome. She reminded me on several different occasions that she does not and will not sleep because getting me the results I want were a top priority for her. She gave great advice throughout the entire duration and was even willing to give great advice after I had EVERYTHING I wanted. She is a gifted and true professional. I would recommend her one million times in a row and would not hesitate to hire her again.

Ms. Robinson Shaw helped me with an elder law and property matter for my grandmother as I was live out of state. She is knowledgeable, caring and professional. She took her time explaining all possible scenarios and helped us to take the proper precautions to protect her assets. I currently live in New York and have worked with several attorneys in my career. She is head and shoulders above the rest and I intend to refer her to those who can benefit from her expertise.

I have know Patricia Voss for maybe thirty years. I have consulted with her on numerous issues regarding my estate plans and the estate plans of members of my family. She is without question one of the most knowledgeable attorneys I know and one who prizes her personal relationships with her clients. She has an LLM in law (master degree beyond her JD degree) and keeps up on the updates of Florida law each year. You can be sure she will give you the best advice and all the correctly completed documents you need.

I was refered to Pat Voss by another attorney, due to the needs of my case. The not so simplistic details had me so worried. Pat firstly had me calm at the end of our first consultation. Her work is impeccable. Her professionalism is superb. Her attention ro details is outstanding, she is open and honest. Pat treats you as if you were her only client, she is ALWAYS prepared. I strongly recommend Pat Vos Esq. Best decision made.

Worst atourney in town, a waste of time and money hiring this atourney. Very arrogant, egomaniac and very rude, won't keep you properly informed on your case. Barely answer, return, calls text and email. Always respond with a bad attitude to your questions.

I was arrested and charged with molesting my nine year old son. The charges were false. The first lawyer charged me 12k only to tell me to enter a plea to seven years in prison.
I then hired Judge Ferro…he investigated the case, hired experts, challenged the state witnesses and was ready for trial. Because of his work and belief in me the State Attorney decided to dismiss the charges.
Judge Ferro was worth every penny he was paid; he was knowledgeable, competent and able to put together a battle plan that gave me my life back.

Attorney Jennings was able to help me with a very complex matter. Step parent adoptions are very hard and can put so much stress on just about anyone. She helped me every step of the way, and she actually cared about me as a person and not just another client. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone that is not only highly educated, but it also very compassionate. I am forever grateful for her help.

Kelly was hired by me to help with a custody issue. There were very specific issues and the case was not an easy one to battle. ER motions had to be filed and there was a lot of legwork needing to be done. The other side had no willingness to negotiate or even communicate. Kelly was amazing at maintaining communication, was always professional, provided clear guidance, was fair in her costs, gave honest opinions as to possible outcomes and very obviously had the respect of the local judges. She is a strong advocate for her client but also keeps the children's best interest in mind when children are involved.

I previously hired Ms Dylewski because I felt confident initially. When we went to our first hearing together, she failed to address all my concerns and important facts with the judge. Why hire someone who isn’t going to take you serious nor put you and your child’s best interest in mind?

Very knowledgeable with current laws and what is being presented to our governor for future laws. He's answered all the questions we've had and what we've presented him with. His paralegal, Tammy, is fantastic and whenever we speak to either of them we always are satisfied with the answers we receive! They've both gone out of their way to help us with documents needed or filled out for court. I recommend them to anyone who is need of a family lawyer.

He should be disbarred. He took my money and did absolutely NOTHING!! He even told me on the phone that "at least you will have your kids for a few more months before you lose them". I was appalled by his service. He sat in court and did NOTHING to defend me while I was badgered on the stand by my husband's attorney and was not even prepared in court. The judge had to call his name 3x in court to give me my eyeglasses. I think he was taking a nap. Lol... I lost my kids due to his negligence. He will take your money and run. Don't hire him, he is the WORST!!!

Mr Bond came into my case late in the game after my first attorney had a conflict of interest. He took the reins and brokered a good settlement for me when it could have easily gone the other way. He stood up to the other lawyers intrusive questioning in my deposition. Overall I would recommend Tommy Bond to any woman seeking a divorce.

I hired Tommy Bond as a mediator, and he was very interested in attending the afternoon events scheduled for lawyers. He was paid in full, only came in my room 2 times, and told me both times she has no interest in mediating. I have worked with mediators before, and this mediator would not even make the offers that I made. His mediation skills are very weak, and he truly seemed he was filling in the box that said "Mediation Complete".

If you are a woman who left your husband and he is being spiteful and you are stressed because he is using his money to try to take the lead in legal terms as a parent ABSOLUTELY DO NOT hire Craig. He is an advocate for fathers and in the rare case that its the mother being hit with a spiteful ex he still is of no use. It is actually disgusting how he took 4000$ from a single mother trying to rebuild her life and did NOTHING for me. please read and weigh the other reviews. Male clients are so happy and women are left to pick up the pieces. Do not be like me and think that because he is a highly rated lawyer he will be your best bet. Seek anyone else.

Only cares about figuring out how to take as much money from you up front. They do not care about your case. Only hire this attorney if you have tens of thousands to spend. So far I've spent $4010 and they have done nothing to benefit me. They actually hurt my case and don't care. I would recommend seeking a different law firm.

Mrs. Landt does not return your phone calls, does not respond to e mails, and does not perform her contractual obligations even though she has been paid up front with a retainer. She won’t talk to you even when you go to her office. Somehow she is always at a trial. She placates you by sending a person who can’t do anything to help you and who sympathizes with you but does nothing for your case. Been promised a settlement letter since December. Still nothing while going broke due to no child support Or alimony. Stressful and horrible situation. BEWARE!

I have paid Mrs Landt $14,000, she did absolutely nothing for me. Her paralegal chain smokes cigarettes all day instead of working on cases.

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.
