Don’t Waste Your Money or Time with her. Lily’s Office is more interested in processing a LOT of paper work and racking up billable hours, than getting anything resolved. Her documents had a substantial number of typographical, spelling and worst of all content errors. It seems like she is taking old cases and reworking them. Then, after I would bring these errors to her attention before signature, she would charge me more time to fix her own errors. At the prices she charges I should not have to proof everything she does. Errors like the plaintiff’s name were wrong, incorrect addresses, etc. Worst of all, making claims in the pleadings that were not discussed and had to be removed as they were false and would have caused the opposing party to just bury me for making a false statement to the Court. The things I was asking her to talk to opposing council about, like the other parties Federal Tax Fraud, her plans to kill me, hiding money during the marriage, Lily dismissed and said that it was not relevant to the case, and I should just settle. I fired Lily and, per her contract, she charged me more money to do that paperwork even though I had a Pro-Se Entry of Appearance ready and it was not required to dismiss her. I took over my own case Pro-Se and prevailed both in court before the Judge for Attorney Fees and during mediation with the same facts, did not have to pay the spouse ANY more money. Lilys Motion to Withdraw was wrong, as it had my address for the opposing party. She could not even get her Withdraw right and had to file a correction. I wasted over $10,000.00, don’t make the mistake I did by hiring Lily or anyone in her firm.

What a joke for a attorney, for a battle of custody case, i paid for a retainer fee of 5,000.00.after i provided all the info and documents,they screwed me with 1,200.00. I believed it should be a fee for them doing some calls but it's ridiculous I'll never will do bissness with this attorney or even recommend it to anyone.also they'll charge you for every calls a customer makes. Also not recommended for a strong case battle.

She is an exceptional attorney who demonstrated unwavering dedication and tenacity in representing me and my children during our divorce proceedings. Her ability to cut through the noise and focus solely on relevant facts is impressive. Her direct and no-nonsense approach is refreshing. My children's welfare is of paramount importance, and I have complete confidence in her ability to protect it.
I appreciate All that she does.. thank you CC!

If I could put no stars, I sure would! I want to find a more professional word, but the only one I can think of is GHETTO. I can’t believe they let such unprofessional trash walk into ANY United States courtroom. The way she speaks and carries herself is an absolute shame & disgrace to this country. Anyone looking for a lawyer in Oklahoma: Christi Chesley is not your gal!

Reagan is a fantastic person and an exemplary lawyer. I had struggled and gone through the wringer with regards to over paying child support for years and years. In that time I dealt with several less than stellar attorneys. It was not until I talked to Reagan that I finally had hope. She actually listens, understands family law, can cut through the emotion and do THE MATH!!!, and wants to make a positive difference…. I am grateful to her for her standing up for me, and her help in finally making my child support fair. Thank you again Reagan, I appreciate you.

Anita is hands down the most thoughtful person I have been blessed to meet. Without hesitation, she took our case as tenants fighting injustice from a large rental company. We highly recommend Anita if you are a tenant and being wrongly strong-armed by a rental/management company.

Have had 3 different immigration and one family case. She was nice and empathetic. Resolved our issues and every time I talked to her she made me feel relieved and took my worries away. I see these bad reviews here and I don't understand why people should get nasty after receiving services. I have a long history with her. She was never what these people say. Additionally, she charged me less than all other attorneys and worked with me when I could make payments. She is the absolute best in Oklahoma City. Will refer all my friends to her, no doubt.

Refuses to answer the phone or reply to messages unless they are relevant to her getting paid. Absolutely did not do anything I requested from my divorce, which was literally only reimbursement for fraudulent activity, while assuring me that she would make it happen, but when it came time to sign paperwork, absolutely neglected to inform me of the situation, so I now have literally tens of thousands of dollars of debt I did not accrue.
Plenty of better lawyers around here, pick any of them for a better experience.

Within weeks of retaining her:
This is the most professional, communicative attorney I've ever heard of, let alone worked with. She's doing everything right, and keeping me 100% in the loop. How things turn out- I expect it to go well. But regardless, she has been the most direct, organized and competent attorney I've ever dealt with. After having experience with 2 others (1 in this case) I am all too familiar with weeks on end without updates, or even answers to simple, direct questions. She is just the opposite. And she is every bit as informative and organized months into the case as she was the first few days. She's gotten more done in the first two weeks than the last attorney got done in over 6 months. She's straight up. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
After the trial: Throughout the course of our business, none of her work ethic changed, she made the right calls, even if/when it hurt. I haven't researched standard fee ranges, but she seems in line with attorneys of her caliber (of which I suspect there are few.) She was tenacious. She was kind (to me.) She *listened to my priorities, and she advised accordingly. I trusted her implicitly, and my confidence in her abilities only grew. And yes, we won my case! And big. It helped that the law was clear--even when opposing counsel and his client's integrity weren't. I could not recommend her more highly. I wish I'd known what another attorney said about her when I had retained the previous one: ~ "She has the rare quality of being able to 'kill em with kindness, and stab em between the ribs.' "

Useless. Fumbled and mishandled my case all the way through to the point that when I actually ended up testifying my lawyer really didn't understand what was going on because I only got a chance to talk to him about the case about an hour or two before the hearing. I had to chase him down. Then, when they were going to challenge the other parts of the inspection, they waited for seven months almost to make that challenge, and then wanted documentation and a statement, which I had already given them almost immediately after I got the inspection report. I absolutely and in no uncertain terms tell you run from these guys. I have not had an interaction with them that was professional or well handled.

Find a different law firm these guys are crooks. Phil told me he would file paternity for me if I paid $712 up front which was two hours of his time and the filing fee on May 2nd and I had until July 1st to pay the rest of the retainer. Every time I called they kept telling me they were working on it and "it will get filed". Come May 17th I got served by my ex because they never filed. They also refused to send my reply to her paperwork so I just paid for a different lawyer who has help me tremendously already. Just find a different lawyer and save yourself time and money.

Worst experience with a law firm. Specifically with Mrs. Safi and her close team (assistant & one random guy on a 10min phone call) who took 5k, said it probably wouldn't be that much... did nothing to actually benefit nor help my situation, then ended up quitting on the whole case itself. Never even reimbursed me for anything, instead, herself and her "team" tried to charge me MORE. This was AFTER SHE QUIT THE CASES. Complete waste of time and money going here, if you want anything accomplished! (Not to mention she talked about her own personal life and compared it to her own client as to say she had it worse off. Not a competition for anything. You are a lawyer and supposed to remain professional, it's what you are PAID $300+AN HOUR to do!)
Also, I'd advise not to go print out and pay for your own papers to give to them, they probably won't return anything after quitting on you! -From my own experience.
Biggest mistake and regret this year was choosing this lawyer. Can't speak on the rest of the firm, but I can speak on what I know and witnessed for a fact.

Rude! I called for help and the call lasted 2 seconds. I've been looking for an attorney and a house. He returned my call and wouldn't tell me what line of work that he was in, I don't read minds. I didn't know if it was a call back for a house or an attorney. Instead of telling me who he was, he told me that if he wasn't needed then he would gladly hang up. I was told him that I was simply trying to find out which conversation I needed to have with him, thanked him, and hung up. If he's not professional now then he won't be later. All it took was him stating the law firm before or after his name. He could have even told me when I asked. He must not have needed a new client though.
Reply: Your reply only further proves how UNPROFESSIONAL you really are. I never said that I called you looking for a house. Had you read my review to comprehend and not to reply then you would know that. This is why I did not do business with you. My name is a profile name so no, it doesn't match any names.

Attorney Brian and Louis Dell are a team of experienced, aggressive legal representation. They listened during the consult with professional and empathetic countenance, concisely explained how their many years of legal expertise would be utilized when much of my case confounded me . They're compassionate and helped ease my worries as I navigate through the an arduous time of life. I recommend this firm for impeccable, aggressive representation that sees you, the client, as a person and not merely a case!

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.
