They have hearings without serving papers.They don't follow the law. They're sneaky and snakey.
Update: my paralegal told me about how this law firm ran and I posted it on here. Now Brad Miller is questioning my mental health because I posted what my paralegal Nicole told me about how this firm runs.
Because I posted an honest review Brad Miller is trying to retaliate in my current custody battle.
Brad Miller emailed me May 2 2023 in the evening and had an immediate danger hearing May 3 without serving me papers. He has griped that I emailed him when he has emailed me personally.
My mental health is fine Brad Miller. Had a psych evaluation done.

If you really want to stick it to your ex and you want that feeling that you beat them, this is the firm for you. This firm is effective! They will bend the truth for you in court and in numerous superfluous memos. They will bully your ex and drag out the process to ensure that your ex suffers. In fact, they copied me on an internal communication which showed that they will even lie to each other within their own firm. Now, when you come out of the divorce, they will have taken everything from you financially, but who cares when you succeeded in making your ex suffer and that their tactics make thing so toxic that you will hardly be able to co-parent with your ex in the future. To ensure this process drags out as long as possible, they will neglect to let you know that your ex has made offers to settle. For over two years, SKH will make no offers settle with your ex and they will encourage you to not accept any offers because why do that when they can make more money taking this to court. They have so many cases going to court that the judge rebuked SKH for delaying court for 4 months because they had so many court cases booked, but the judge can’t actually do anything to stop these grey area tactics, so it gives you more time to bully your ex! This firm will back you up and encourage you to take your ex for everything. And while this won’t let you move on with your life, who cares as long as you get to falsely believe that your ex is suffering more because of it. Thanks SKH! I don’t have anything left to pay you with anymore, but at least I can feel like my ex suffered.

Tony Abrams and Miwa Soto helped me feel safe and calm about the financial aspects of my dad's passing. Tony listened carefully, answered all my questions, and provided further resources. High points included Tony's diagram of assets on the whiteboard, and all three of us finding the funny side of Dad's handwritten additions to the POA making it unenforceable. (That's Dad!) Their website page explains Why We Are Different and I 100% agree. "Founder Tim Nay came to the law as an experienced psychologist and licensed clinical social worker." Like a healthcare team that "treats the whole person," the people of this firm help the whole family - and friends - and all the circles around us that matter.

If you are facing not one but multiple criminal charges (counts) involving the operation of a motor vehicle which carry the potential consequences of jail time and a big license suspension if convicted, there is good news. You can call Ben and Mark.
Prior to facing this type of vexing ordeal, I had never been arrested in my lifetime. My case went all the way past a favorably conducted evidentiary hearing and legal conferences, just shy of having a 6-person jury trial scheduled with the Court over several months (longer than a year)—where Ben and Mark tirelessly, diligently, masterfully worked as the lead Attorney on defeating the entire case. All charges are being dismissed! Thank you.

We had a very bad experience with Mr. Hwang. This was the only appointment we had with him. I think he is impersonal, angry, self absorbed and not patient.
What do people need when they are going through the worst of their lives? -Patience, kindness and awareness of other people’s feelings, as death can be devastating for the family and friends.
Knowledge without these traits is like getting a big enciclopedia.
Please read all the reviews that have been written about him. I did not before setting an appointment, and regretted it.

Northwest Legal did an outstanding job putting together our somewhat complicated estate planning. Jinoo covered all the bases to make sure my husband and I, as well as our beneficiaries, are protected. I can’t say enough about the professionalism and dedication shown to us on every aspect of our estate. We and our grown children (live in a different state) are very grateful to know that when the time comes, all the legal aspects of managing our affairs have been already professionally addressed and Northwest Legal is just a phone call away should they need them. Thank you so much Jinoo and Stephanie!

Jinoo Hwang was referred to me by another lawyer who recommended him for his skills in creating a trust that was more useful for me because it was applicable in all 50 states and not just one. Jinoo's knowledge of recent changes in trust laws were invaluable in creating a trust which is inclusive of my estate but also allows me the flexibility to designate specific things to individuals in the event of my passing. The final piece that I was impressed with was the succession of trustees and the inclusion of a third party to act as the trustee in case of need. All trustees are fiduciary and charged with administering the trust in my best interest. This final piece afforded me much peace of mind. I recommend Jinoo's services in this manner.

Zachary Gottlieb took over my case after 10 months of getting nowhere with my existing divorce attorney. He not only had to step in and fix all the issues she had caused, he had limited time to do so. He always emailed or called me back nearly instantly. He was extremely thoughtful, guiding me through the process on what was a very complicated situation. The papers were signed today and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Zachary Gottlieb to anyone who needs an attorney who will be there for them. I felt he really cared, his actions and outcome of the case are testimony of his abilities. Thank you Zachary.

It has been almost 2 years and I am grateful I had the opportunity of starting my family law case with Katherine Denning. Unfortunately, my situation was incredibly high conflict and I started out without representation and restraining orders on both sides were approved with identical restrictions. After a consultation, Katherine helped with confidence and determination. Slowly that all unraveled as communicating became confusing and eventually I was working with Zach right before a seperate hearing relating to my childrens' home and possessions. When I had cried on the phone due to being overwhelmed I was dropped by Katherine with only 2 days left until a hearing took place. I was referred to another attorney/firm. I'll never forget trying to find a lawyer and requesting that the judge postpone the hearing. I represented myself at the hearing and although i didn't get the outcome i wanted, I am proud of myself for facing my abuser on the stand. His lawyer also messed up quite a bit and was less scary during the hearing. However, the judge had no sympathy that I was lawyerless in which I am getting very used to in the legal field. Overall, my ex' lawyer was agressive and unfortunately my replacement did not put in an effort at all. This is no fault of Litowich, however I do think attorneys should be willing to learn how to deal with victims of domestic abuse and sexual assault before taking on high conflict cases. It's reasonable for clients to be confused or emotional, however If you have a high conflict case that involves domestic abuse, do your best not to become emotional or look for a lawyer who is patient and experienced with domestic/sexual abuse survivors.

I retained Mr. Knox as a criminal defense attorney in September 2021 after being arrested for a false felony DV charge and associated misdemeanor charges after an argument with my ex-partner.
Mr. Knox visited me while in jail and said I needed to provide $10k upfront to take my case. At first he seemed understanding, knowledgeable, and engaged but that quickly shifted.
After our initial meeting upon release from jail, he was mostly uncommunicative about the case, not responding to multiple inquires for weeks at a time, not even from his paralegals or office staff. He provided no information to me that I needed to hire a separate civil/family lawyer to deal with custody/visitation issues for my infant daughter, despite multiple inquires about that process. When I discovered that separately and asked him about it, he referred me to another attorney that actively made the situation with my ex worse. When I asked about what I could do proactively to demonstrate my willingness to comply with the legal process, he off-handedly said "Go register for one of those DV Intervention programs or whatever the [F-word] they are called".
At our plea bargain in Feb 2022, he seemed more interested in sharing the fact that he knew the assistant DA personally than he did about the details of my case. When I protested that the assistant DA was repeating the lies my ex was spinning to the court, he told me to "shut up or you'll ruin everything". He did not attempt to counter them in any way.
He allowed a No Contact Order against my infant daughter to be part of the felony plea down to misdemeanor, even though she was not harmed or involved in the incident in any way other than being 5 weeks old and in the room at the time. This allowed my ex to keep our daughter from me for the 2 years of my probation, without even sharing pictures or updates. He seemed completely uninterested with my concerns of being prevented from parenting my infant (and only) child. At no point did he share with me the evidence provided in the police arrest report that demonstrated I was not guilty of the felony, or question the poorly conducted investigation in any way.
When I asked him, at the plea bargain, what his experience was with this kind of case, he hemmed and hawed, and only after multiple direct inquiries did he acknowledge he had never argued a felony DV case in trial. He was pushing the plea bargain because that is all he knew how to do. He had previously explained the risk of going to felony trial, but not that he had no experience doing so until pressed directly as we were walking into the courtroom. At no point did he disclose what the negative ramifications of pleading guilty to the misdemeanor could/would be.
After the conviction and sentencing, he did not tell me anything about the probation requirement for immediately signing up for a Probation Officer, and I almost got an immediate probation violation. Within a few weeks of the plea bargain, he removed himself from representing me.
He flat out did not know what he was doing, and rather than disclose that while I was under duress in jail, he took my $10K, did the bare minimum, and jumped ship as soon as possible. I lost my home, job, professional license, standing in my business community, friends, relationship with family members, and 2 years of my infant daughter's life because of his incompetence on a case that multiple other attorneys have since said was easily winnable. He didn't even try.
He is a personal injury attorney that has no experience taking complex criminal defense cases to trial, and his mishandling of this case ruined my entire life. I would sue him for ethical misconduct and misrepresentation, but the 2 year statute of limitations has passed. I am reporting him to the bar for malpractice without disclosing his lack of experience.
Do not hire him for complex criminal defense representation.

I am writing this review to express my sincere thanks for the most professional legal representation. John Case and his paralegal Terrie provided the best advice and legal counsel while being caring, straightforward, and honest.

I would highly recommend John to anyone needing a divorce attorney.

He is a wealth of knowledge, understanding in every way, and also saved me from needing to spend large amounts of money to handle a difficult case. I highly recommend John and Terri who helped me navigate a very sensitive situation with genuine understanding and an above-board professionalism. You cannot have a better attorney!

I recently had the opportunity to work with Jill Brittle, an exceptional family law attorney, during a challenging time in my life. Throughout the process of my divorce, Jill was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. She took the time to explain every step clearly, ensuring that I was informed and comfortable with my options. Her attention to detail was impressive, and it was evident that she genuinely cared.
One of the aspects I appreciated most was her ability to communicate effectively. Jill was always available to answer my questions, whether via email or phone, and she responded promptly.

I’ve been through multiple attorneys and William is by far is the best I’ve come across. He is professional and respectful to his clients and gets the job done. Don’t waste your time on anyone else acting like a car salesman/woman, telling you everything you want to hear to get the retainer. If you want a good attorney this is your guy but you must schedule phone calls as he is super bzy with many other clients cases. You get what you pay for here. My case is still ongoing but I’m confident in this attorney. William is also honest in his methods and hours worked.

He doesn’t care! He sees dollar signs and tells me I should sue my past attorney for what she failed to include in my divorce. Doesn’t even want to look at the bank statements and my husbands Quicken account with my son’s savings account numbers, and my account numbers, set for download and transfer… which he did. He doesn’t care that my husband abused and stole from my kids and I, prior to our marriage. This attorney is book smart. Immature at life. Talks down to me as if I’m a child; I’m at least twice his senior. Arrogant firm; arrogant attorney.

She was very knowledgeable and inciteful to my legal situation, straight to the point and professional. Even when Mindy was in court, as a lawyer does, my case was able to move forward. We never met in person but that wasn't a detriment to my case. Very pleased with my outcome. Thank you Mindy and staff!

Ok, so I hired her for my Divorce because she presented well at our first meeting and showed empathy for my situation. However, that changed and she became very apathetic once we got under way. She also hired an incompetent QRDO person in which left me at a 250k loss. Not a positive experience at all. Choose very carefully.

She did an exceptional job handling my case. The moment I consulted with her, I knew my case was in great hands! I went through divorced and Mindy was recommended by a co-worker. She was very professional, consistent, and communicates effectively and efficiently. I didn't know anything about the divorce process and she walked me through it with so much knowledge and patience. She made me feel at ease each time we communicated and by the 3rd month, the judge signed the papers without any issues. I cannot thank her enough for lifting the stress off of me in dealing with the divorce. I am forever grateful.

A deep commitment to ethical standards and comprehensive legal knowledge enables him to provide reliable advice even under difficult circumstances.

Mr. Palmer represented me a few years ago for a couple of different domestic relations issues over a period of about 6 years. In each case, he was open about the possible results and gave solid, reasonable advice. Although emotions ran high in my dom rel case, Steve steered me on a conciliatory course that helped me work with my ex-husband in a better way than I had been. Not sure if he's still doing family law, but I highly recommend him nonetheless.

are important traits for you in your attorney, you need look no further than Jennifer Brown of Brown Law PC.
Jennifer will tell you what you need to know to help you reach the best outcome in your circumstances. She also gives good practical advice. You can be assured that Jennifer knows what she is talking about: do not undervalue her counsel or effectiveness because of her modest manner.
I speak from more than 40 years as a member of the Bar observing and evaluating hundreds of attorneys, including nearly three decades as an administrative law judge. As compared to the high drama and loud blustery aggression of some lawyers, Judges recognize and respect calm, objective legal knowledge and preparation—like Jennifer’s—as the more zealous, effective representation that it is. In a case that several attorneys were afraid to undertake for fear of angering a Judge, I watched Jennifer in action as her family law expertise, courtroom experience, and level-headed personal style persuasively convinced a Judge to reverse his earlier ruling.
I am so confident in Jennifer’s ability that I sent a family member to her and Jennifer won the case. You and your loved ones, too, can rely on Jennifer Brown.

I would highly recommend Jennifer Brown as an attorney. She was absolutely amazing in handling my family law case. Jennifer was recommended to me after I had a horrible experience with a different attorney and firm, and she went above and beyond all of my expectations, as did her wonderful assistant, Erika Schreiner, and other members of the LaMont Law team. They are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and experienced. I especially appreciated how efficient, patient, and understanding they were throughout the duration of my case. They always remembered the details of my situation, and I always felt like they actually cared, working so diligently toward the outcome I was hoping to achieve with my case. I cannot thank Jennifer, Erika, and the LaMont Law team enough for everything they did for me.

Jennifer Brown and the team at LaMont Law were excellent. After leaving her office the first time I felt like I had found someone who was understanding and compassionate. She was knowledgeable and gave me confidence that I would get through a difficult divorce process. Her team were awesome and supportive and put me at ease throughout the process. No one wants to need a divorce attorney but I'm glad I chose them.

Jacob represented me even living two hours away. I had been "boxed out" of local attorneys. He spoke up for me during my first hearing. He stopped the other attorney from distracting the judge with nonsense and it felt so good to have someone on my side. I will definitely be keeping his representation.

Jacob was open-minded and considerate. In family matter cases the drama can be outstanding but he and Wendy were tenacious when working as a team and Jacob phenomenal in his approach when handling my case. He worked with me on every aspect and kept me in the loop of every detail making sure not only the needs of my child were met but the needs of my personal family and household at hand. I would highly recommend Jacob as his help benefited my family greatly! He made it altogether EASY for me to concentrate on my everyday business and successes as well. My child involved in the custody case has come through this with little effect by the legalities as our end was kept as simple as possible while the other side tried to influence the children. The professionalism of Levy & Harris has prevailed even when the drama from the opposing party tried to ensue. Our case was long, but worth it. The year and half Jacob spent on our case with diligence has proven to be worth the wait. A battle will always have ups and downs, but Levy & Harris has proven to lose little battles and won the war in my case. I praise their efforts and highly recommend Jacob! My child is thriving thanks to this great outcome!

Everything was great in the beginning. My court date was rescheduled and for whatever reason Jacob decided not to actually follow through. I paid to have representation and I received no such thing. Wish I could give a better review but this is what happened in my experience with Jacob.

AAL Clarke assisted me on a bankruptcy case. He patiently and positively handled this situation with me professionally. I never wanted to be in this position in my lifetime - so that may have been interesting for him at times. He explained the process in detail with knowledge and confidence. Assisted in quickly finding appropriate filing timelines. He was a great asset and affordable through it all! Promptly returned my various inquiries. I'd recommend him to anyone who has to unfortunately endure this process.

David was accessable when I needed a question answered by phone, email and text. And when busy, he always got back to me in a reasonable time. I was very comfortable that he was looking after my best interests during the process. David was not as aggressive as other lawyers, which in a high conflict divorce might be necessary...However, I found him very personable and easy to work with during a time of great stress for me. I will continue to use David in any follow up and would definitely consider using David in another area of the law in the future.

My wife and I first worked with Sara Winter 2 years ago when my mother in law passed away and we needed assistance settling the estate. More recently, Sara guided us through the estate planning process and getting our own trust set up. In both cases, Sara and the team at Gevurtz Menashe were key to us reaching our goals and they were a pleasure to work with in all instances.

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.
