I have nothing but good comments to report on my experience working with Matt Fleischer.
My sister and I were the executors of our mother's trust after she passed away. Her mineral rights assets had not been entered into the trust, so we hired Matt to probate them over to a new trust for us. We did not live in Oklahoma but Matt took care of everything and was very easy to work with. He let us know up front what the total cost would be and each step of the process, including court dates, documents we would need to provide and/or get notarized, etc. Everything was handled via phone and email, with certain documents eventually being mailed. Fees were right in line compared to other firms in OK. Finally, I don't think I ever called Matt where he himself didn't answer the phone - that is what I call responsive and helpful.
I would recommend Matt's firm to anyone needing legal help in Oklahoma!

NOT GUILTY were the words I heard after jury deliberation! Adam is seasoned, sharp, quick, witty, and extremely knowledgeable! He strategically sliced and diced both the state investigating agency and the state prosecution team, while simultaneously dismantling the whole narrative that resulted in the charge against me. His words resonated with the jury! My family and I will be forever grateful for the hard work and dedication he put into my case. He wasn’t just a typical defense attorney, Adam truly cares about the jury seeing the truth and I am a free man today because of it. Thank you Adam!

I just want to say how grateful and appreciative I am for Adam Banner and his firm. He is very professional, thorough, works hard for his clients and leaves no stone unturned. He was always getting back to me in a timely manner. What gave me confidence and for me to have a peace of mind about Adam. I went into his firm to sign some paperwork and I asked the staff about Adam. They told me, “Let Adam be your big brother. Stand behind him and let him fight for you”!
Adam by far is the best defense attorney in the state of Oklahoma. Adam is worth every cent. I looked at the price as an investment for my life. If you are looking for a defense attorney who will fight for you there is no need for you to look any further than Adam Banner and his firm! My family and I are so thankful for him and his services! You’re the best Adam!

I cannot begin to explain how pleased I am with Brian! He was very readily available and sufficient whenever my situation was laid out on the table almost 7 months ago. At a time where I didn't know what direction to look or turn Brian took initiative in leading me the correct way. I highly HIGHLY reccomend him to everyone and anyone who is in the need of lawful guidance. To this day, even after my case has been closed for several months now he still has open arms for and questions or concerns I may have.

First of all, let me start with Ali is the very best lawyer and person I have ever met. I was in OKC on business and was arrested and thrown in jail. I am 70 years old and have never been arrested in my life. I witnessed a different side of society than i had ever witnessed. Needless to say, I had no idea what to do, both in jail and out. I was bailed out by Colt Bail Bonds, another great firm, and Colt introduced me to Ali. Right away, I knew he was an efficient and caring person. I was very scared. Ali calmed me down and told me he would take care of everything. He always communicated to me as the case developed. By the end of the week, Ali convinced the DA to not file charges. Ali gave me my life back. I cannot stress how much I would recommend him and I so appreciate him so much for what he did.

Ali helped me when I got in trouble a few years ago. He was able to help me through the entire process from my case being dismissed, to being recharged, having to put off resolving the case until a time that worked better for my family (due to a family illness) to having a deal in place before turning myself in, meeting me at the bondman's office, doing a walk through and getting me into court and sentenced in one day, so I can fly home and continue on with my life. I can't express my appreciation enough for him and his team. Not to mention that he was with another firm when I first met him, and he honored the payment that I had previously made.

Ali was amazing. He got a motion to accelerate dismissed. He did so for a great price and in a very timely manner. He comes to court on time, well dressed, with his act together. He doesn't fumble, he knows the drill and is well versed. He knows the system and how to work it. If your in question of who you should use. This is the man for sure.

Mr. Buckley has won my very difficult case and was able to deliver outstanding results for myself. From the very beginning, Mr. Buckley was a caring, supportive counselor who genuinely committed himself to winning my case. He had met me at a moment's notice that had played the crucial importance in the positive outcome. He is an excellent, superb communicator, he has a deep and sharp understanding of psychology, and protected me from aggressiveness bordering on abuse exhibited by an opposing law company hired by my opponent. Mr. Buckley is an exceptionally kind person, and my family and I will be forever grateful for him helping me to win this case. His patience and understanding of my circumstances were outstanding, and he helped me in every way to deal with this overwhelming litigation in the midst of the pandemic and taking care of my child. He is the best lawyer that work embodies the genuine commitment to justice.

I hired David in 2014, a year and a half we had our trial. The long wait was just circumstances, not David.
He is not a dirty lawyer, no tricks etc. He was extremely honest with me, with the other party, the judge and other lawyers.
I'm a father, I had joint custody from 2008 forward. We had a GAL. In 2015 we had a two day trial. I received sole physical and legal custody. The mother also had to pay $8000 of my legal fees.
There was a lot of manipulation, lots of badmouthing. Patients is key in all this. David was very good at keeping me calm, giving me advice, sometimes what seemed like daily. He answered my calls way more often than most lawyers would. Very personal relationship with David was established.
David far exceeded my expectations, he earned every penny I gave him and then some. He was always on time, always called when he said he would.
This was a long painful experience but David made it pleasant from time to time. Thank you David for all you have done for me and our family!!!!

I hired David Walk to write my Last Will & Testament, Living Will, and Power of Attorney, and I had a very positive experience. Mr. Walk explained the process and legal language in simple terms, which was important to me because English is my second language. I felt that he really listened to what I wanted and he made me feel like an important client. I am happy with the Will Package and would definitely hire Mr. Walk again.

I had the pleasure of having Ms. Tunder represent me through a random assignment by another party. For this reason, my expectations from a lawyer were low. She turned out to be the silver lining and beacon of light during what was for me an overwhelming 3-year ordeal in which she was the *only* person who acted with a sense of urgency and responsibility while treating me in a very dignified manner. She answers all emails and voicemails promptly and courteously. She is kind, caring and respectful, as well as no-nonsense and hardworking. She is a person and professional of utmost integrity and I cannot recommend her enough. If only there were more lawyers like her.

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.
