It was okay until it wasn't. Had I known Mr. Murray's personal divorce history I probably wouldn't have hired him. You either do what he wants you to do or he is done with you, no matter if you have pending hearings scheduled or not. He takes your money knowing he has no intention of following through. Just My Opinion & Experience for 9+ months & $13,000.00+ later he withdrew leaving me without money, a attorney and could really have cared less. I agreed to the mediation agreement then & still do now. What I do not agree is to leave scheduled hearings unheard by the court and filing of said contempt charges, charging for their time to do so without any intention of taking the case to trial to which at that time is when the judge would finally hear what is going on with the divorce case. Mediation was a joke at best, I signed the agreement with the advice to do so by Mr. Murray and then held accountable for doing so, which I still am. Never did I believe we weren't going to trial, NEVER. Don't sign anything unless you completely agree even with him advising you to sign, my hands were tied and he was done with me. Take plenty of aspirin with you to your mediation simply because it makes his head hurt to negotiate.
Feel free to email me if you have any ?'s.

Allison is simply amazing. I cry every time I think about her and how she cared for me and my babies during the roughest and scariest season of my life. I truly believe that Allison is God anointed. There was never one second that I doubted her ability or expertise. She provided such an honest and safe space for me during my darkest moments. It’s really hard to put into words the impact she made. She truly has a gift and I’ll never be able to thank her enough. She has a calm, honest and compassionate stance regarding law.
Allison please know I will never forget your love, kindness and support. My babies are here thriving because of you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This is the worst experience I ever had hiring a lawyer. I reached out to Davis Business Law in need of service acquiring a small business. They were very sweet and nice till I paid the retainer fee of $1800 which they said would be approximate cost for their service during the Due Diligence period. Please beware they need this amount to be paid in advance. As soon as I paid the fees their attitude changed completely. I had no longer access to the lawyer (Noelle Moorad) that was assigned to me. Every time I called in with a query I was told by the assistant that the lawyer was too busy to talk to me and was asked to send an e-mail instead. The assistant herself was so rude on the phone that I asked to have my money back and as soon as I sent mail asking for the refund, the lawyer called me within 5 minutes to apologize and promised they will do better. However, it was the same story from the very next day.
I needed a Letter of Intent to be prepared for the Business Purchase. I provided the draft and asked her to change "Asking price" and few other minor details. All in all she edited one paragraph of 4 lines which was dictated by me and they charged me for 2 hours billing at $395/hour for editing a two page document and emailing it. The lawyer did not even read the document diligently because it had errors which I had to point out. The Lawyer provided no help negotiating with the seller or any other legal guidance whatsoever. Also it seemed like she had little experience acquiring a small business as she was asking why I, as a buyer, needed to make the earnest deposit which is a regular process in any Small Business Acquisition
I was purchasing a Grocery Store with a gas station. And when the fuel supplier was aggressively pushing himself into the deal by inserting his clauses into the LOI. The lawyer asked me to go through the clauses and deal with it because she was too busy to work on it. This was on Friday and next Monday I get a mail from a new assistant asking if I want to move forward with the purchase. I said yes and they sent me another bill for $800 to retain their service. They said the $1800 I paid were exhausted in preparing the LOI and replying to the emails. I declined to pay extra $800 as I did not see the service they provided to me so far worth $1800. When I sent an email saying this and describing my experience I received email from the COO (Robert Applegate) saying that he will call me the next day to go over the issue. Next day on the phone I talked to the COO and told him about my experience to which his answer was that he does not see anything wrong from their end and it was my mistake that I agreed to pay $395/hour.
I will now have to hire another lawyer to help me through the due diligence period.

I fought for 8 months to get a GAL per the request of one of my children, as well as their counselor. After finally getting my ex to agree, we were assigned Mrs Smith as the GAL for our case. Almost immediately, I regretted ever agreeing to using her, but decided to trust the process. There are FAR too many things to put into a google review…but I am more than happy to provide any and all details if anyone should choose to reach out to me. By FAR, the worst decision I made in the entire almost 3 year process of my divorce. She actually didn’t care that my ex was refusing to sign to give her access to one of our former marriage counselor’s records…which CLEARLY confirmed the abuse I had been telling her about…saying only after weeks of letting this go that “it was clearly important to ME that she have access to these records” in an email to my legal team…NOT that she thought it was important for HER to have access to those records…because she truly didn’t care what was in them, nor would they have had any weight on her decision…which has ultimately destroyed my relationship with one of my children…in his words, “she didn’t listen to me, mom, and I don’t think she did her job” She made the decision that my ex husband’s girlfriend “doesn’t have a drinking problem” after it was brought to my attention that she drove my children AFTER a judge ruled that she couldn’t drive her OWN children under the influence, and having told my ex and her that she shouldn’t be driving them months prior…and when that was violated, she took the word of my CHILD who said he felt fine being in the car with her (because what CHILD should be put in that situation to tell his father in her presence that he doesn’t because he’s read everything and is aware of everything in her still pending case) When I brought it up…she simply told me, she didn’t think she had a drinking problem, and that it wasn’t a court ruled decision…when in fact it was, and I sent her the public document clearly stating that it’s (still currently) a court ordered decision…I caution you HIGHLY to look into the complaints against her and her ethics before agreeing to let her make decisions regarding your children that could potentially have lifelong consequences.

It is 100% known I was a Pro-Se client. She even introduced me to the judge as such. I had a right to discuss my case with the opposing attorney, Michelle K. Smith. She refused to speak with me on phone, email, and in person about the case.

Both Shelby Shelton and Shelby Heath are fantastic attorneys, and really went above and beyond my expectations for a case I didn't even know I had from 10 years ago. The office staff is very friendly and worked diligently to try to get me answers to all my questions. No one ever wants to have to contact a criminal defense attorney, but if you are ever in need I can't recommend Shelton Law Firm enough!

I would recommend and will use Chandler Moxley for all my legal needs from here on out! I had a pretty rough divorce and Chandler made the process extremely smooth during the difficult time. Her response time was absolutely amazing. She listened to my concerns. She is very smart and knowledgeable. The outcome was better than I could have imagined. She values her clients and her legal team is amazing! Her firm did an outstanding job. I couldn’t be happier with her team and the results. I would highly recommend Moxley law firm for any legal needs and especially divorce.

I contacted Harold after my now ex wife walked away from the marital residence and left our children with me. This divorce took 1 year and Harold became very personal with me and took the time to get to know me personally. He went above and beyond to protect my assets and listened to my fears and walked me through any and all questions I had regarding a divorce. Harold went above and beyond with everything he did especially with a high conflict divorce with 3 children involved. I would highly recommend Harold Thompson to anyone in need of a divorce lawyer. I know what people think, "Lawyers are lawyers". But I could literally reach Mr. Thompson any day of the week if it was important enough. He brought to the table a level of professionalism and more importantly, "Integrity", which is something of a pipe dream nowadays. Harold is honest and will tell you the harsh truth when It needs to be said to you. He knows when to push and when to back off. I respect him for that. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to represent me in the courtroom and honestly consider him a friend now. He fought for me insanely hard and I couldn't have asked for more! God bless you Mr. Thompson.

My wife took my daughter and left me devastated. I called 7 different attorneys and 5 of them were just cold robots who only cared about telling me how much they cost and how little time I had to tell them about my case. At my lowest point while waiting for a call back, Attorney Harold Thompson called me. One of the reputable law firms I contacted were booked and so passed my information onto Harold. Harold Thompson consoled me first and made me feel as though he was sitting right next to me. He then listened to my case for as long as I needed him to and then told me he how he would fight for me as hard or as long as I needed him to. He did not try to nickle and dime me like the other attorneys and informed me of his FLAT rate and worked with me on payment options. His process to get things started was straight forward and to the point. He started working immediately and was more knowledgeable and more insightful than other attorneys. He professionally communicated with my wife and then back with me and was able to determine that divorce and a custody battle would be extreme at this point. Other attorneys would had just thought how they could keep money flowing into their pockets. Harold on the other hand recommended a less costly option. Communication had opened back up with me and my wife and my family is back together now thanks to Harold's involvement. Harold Thompson is not just a wonderful attorney but a caring and understanding person who is devoted to helping people and not destroying families.

Totally recommend Harold for any child custody case. He is very helpful and very respectful. Child custody is a very sensitive topic but he was able to provide all the information I needed in order to have the case resolved. He goes that extra mile to get you what you need/deserve.

Hands down best attorney in town. He actually did my divorce in a matter of 10 days. He was very professional yet I felt like I had support through the entire process. His staff was very accommodating and treated me like a true priority. I wish I could give a 10 star review!! Thank you so much to Greg and everyone at Greg Denney Law who helped me start over!

Greg Denney represented me in an auto accident where a truck side swiped my vehicle causing me to get pushed off the road where I struck a tree head on and the person responsible kept driving. Greg Denney was the best attorney I have ever had. He genuinely cared and made me feel like family not just a client and a pay day. He was swift dealing with the insurance companies and I received more than I ever expected to get. I also had the privilege of being in court on an unrelated matter and got to see him representing one of his clients in a criminal case and I almost felt sorry for the prosecutor cause Greg chewed him up and spit him out and got the case dismissed effortlessly. He is super sharp with the laws and definitely who you want representing you and your family

We have relied on Mary Bundren for legal advice for our HOA for the past four years. Our Board of Directors are volunteers from the membership who don’t have extensive legal backgrounds. Mary has helped us immensely with our governing documents, provided information on state regulatory requirements, helped us with the fiduciary implementation of our covenants, and provided legal consultation, as needed. She has provided exactly the kind of professional knowledge specific to HOAs with years of experience to help us on an as needed basis for general questions or provide assistance on specific cases. Mary been very responsive to our needs for legal services.

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.

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.

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.
