David and his staff were very professional and courteous. I live in North Carolina and needed specific assistance in Oklahoma and he and his staff were just the ones! Their fees were very reasonable and worth every penny. They kept me informed on how our issues were coming along the entire time. I now have my Oklahoma lawyer! Thanks, David and Dena

Ben is by far not only a great lawyer, but one of the better people you will come across.. during my legal situation he never left me second guessing, in fear and always remained in control of every aspect of my case. I have often heard that Family Court cases can get out of hand very quickly. Ben kept the situation in control.. Would recommend x1000!

Went through a divorce and was completely lost. Ben was able to fight for the light at the end of the tunnel for me. I could not be where I am in my life at this point without having sought counsel with Ben. His paralegal, Connie, is a true gem and extremely helpful. Janet, the secretary is equally as patient, kind and efficient. Ben has a calm demeanor, but will fight for you, never steer you in the wrong direction and is worth every dime. He makes the best use of your money and your time. I am finally done and feel like he was the best investment I’ve made even during a truly awful time.

I could not have asked for better. He doesn’t screw around or give you unrealistic expectations. He knows lawyers are expensive and makes the best use of his time. His follow up is exceptional and doesn’t leave you hanging or wondering what’s next. And most importantly he knows his stuff. He gets it done and is on YOUR side. I had the best outcome possible and he exceeded all my expectations. Would definitely use again!

Man! Where to begin, I had a situation come up and I was out of state in Chicago. Chad immediately got to working on it and helped me out.
I couldn’t come back to OK right away but he was there for me every step of the way. He got my entire case dropped. He was very professional, updated me on everything and didn’t demand a billion dollars to help me. I will refer any and everyone I know to chad Greer. I trust him and his law firm!

I am a multi felon who was charged with crimes that if not for Mr. Greer I would be doing the most part of my life in prison. I trusted him with my life. I interviewed 14 different attorneys and he by far was the clear choice. So I'm free and if you want to be free then choose Mr. Greer. He did everything I asked and was worth every penny.

Mr. Greer is an awesome attorney. I was falsely accused by an ex-girlfriend of a felony in one county and she obtained a protective order in another county under false pretenses. Mr. Greer had both cases dismissed and records sealed and the alleged victim impeached during cross examination. I would highly recommend Chad Greer as a criminal defense attorney. Chad helped give me my life back.

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.

I found ONE!! I found an honest Lawyer. He not only returns phone calls but he is also available to update his client on the status of the case. Brian handled a personal injury for me and my five. I was extremely satisfied with the way Brian worked.
The lawyer is Brian Putnam with his office on N.W. 63 St, in OKC. He doesn’t rob you when the time comes to settle up at the conclusion of the case. I have used a lot of lawyers over the years and Attorney Brian Putnam is the best.
Need a lawyer? Call Brian Putnam!

Mrs. Ross-Jones has helped and continues to help me with various stages of estate planning for my mom. With each interaction that I have had with her, I feel very comfortable with the decisions I have made based on her knowledge, attention to detail, listening skills and how she provides information in a easy to understand non-legal format. I always feel comfortable speaking to Mrs. Ross-Jones as she is never intimidating, easy to talk to and always presents all options in order for me to make the best choices. I have never felt rushed in my conversations with her and always get the sense that my issue is very important to her.
Elizabeth has helped me with the Power of Attorney, Trust information, Probate avoidance and a Will. Thanks to her continued help in an area that is always difficult to go with through as your parents age and never took the time to research until it was almost too late, I am now in the right direction to help my mom with a lifestyle she deserves.

Elizabeth Ross-Jones is a wonderful and kind person that has captured the essence of making each client the most important. Her practice is a perfect representation of strong values and a deep care for every detail of a persons life.
Elizabeth helped us set up a 501c3 that has become successful in pursuing our passion for serving the Deaf community. With her knowledge, we were also successfully placed on the list for domestic adoption. With each step and with every paper, Elizabeth guided us patiently through the process. I would recommend making Elizabeth your first call for counsel.

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.

Aaron did a great job for me. I had a difficult situation dealing with my wife that cheated on me and wanting a divorce. It was only a matter of time before or divorce was going to happen, but it was necessary. Not only was it affecting me, but also my kids. They didn't want this to happen.
What happened after that is trying to find a lawyer. That was a chore and it took over a week to find the right one. That's when I contacted Aaron. When I contacted him, we set up an appointment and we talked in person. He tested me like a person, which I appreciated. There were things that happened with my wife boyfriend and our son. Things were getting out of hand, although Aaron did help me through this difficult time. He was looking out for my kids. I really appreciate his help and he did get me what I needed and he did a great job for my kids. If you're looking for a lawyer who can get the job done, Aaron if who you need.

Mr. Elliott was recommended to me by my boss and since day 1 he helped me with everything that I needed. I never had to go to trial or even see another lawyer because Mr. Elliot handled everything and called me with updates as they became available.

Not only have they worked with me on payments but also anytime I call, I get her or a law clerk on the phone or I leave a message and someone calls me back the same day! The work that has been done so far on my case is amazing and far exceeds my expectations and from what has been previously done.

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.

Keith Jones has been the most ethical, realistic, and smartest attorney I've ever met. He lets me know what to expect, breaks down processes in detail, and works hard to do his job right. I don't like going tp court with all the strangers, MY EX HUSBAND, and the emotional charge that's generally accompanied with custody battles, but Keith Jones makes me feel comfident and secure in my decisions and most of all the decision to ask for his help. I believe he's a man that can lay his head on his pillow at night with a clear conscience and peace of mind because he has morals. I haven't known him long and my custody case isn't over, but I have a strong feeling that I don't have to worry. I wish there were more attorneys like him so justice can be served the right way for good people out there than need help and don't have the right words to say. Thanks mr. Jones. With all my heart.

Keith for me has been my legal go-to for many years. His Knowledge of family law in my divorce and even years after has helped me to weather the often frustrating and helpless feelings that come with a divorce. He has more than once shown me that a quick reaction is often the wrong way to handle conflicts and that a soft touch in some cases helps to reflect some positive light towards me as a person in a tough situation. I would recommend Keith jones for his deeply rooted beliefs in justice and also in the integral concept of family. Because at some point with kids there will be plenty of opportunities to be the bigger person and not have to wish that things had been handled differently.

Mr. Willis represented me against the father of our daughter in a custody fight. My ex had me arrested for using his debit card for buying things for our daughter after telling me to leave the house. He got temporary custody when I was arrested, but at trial Mr. Willis did an excellent job in showing what a controlling and deceitful man my ex is. Mr. Willis was well prepared and was really aggressive in the Courtroom. I now have custody of my little girl back and am grateful to Mr. Willis and the Court for the outcome.

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.

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.
