Heidi Noll and Amy Koren were both incredible. I wouldn’t even think about hiring another lawyer or another team. If you have a custody matter, this is who you wanna use.
Timely correspondence, knowledge of family law, especially in custody matters, and actual care of the situation were all an 11 out of 10. They’re familiar with the area and all of the players involved. I was extremely impressed and incredibly grateful that Heidi and Amy were able to work on my case. They explained everything to me, answered all of my questions and were able to successfully get me the custody rights I deserved, and my children and I needed. I couldn’t speak any more highly about both of them.

Attorney Noll and her team represented me for both my custody agreement and subsequent child support filing. When I say her and her team are the absolute best, I mean it! I had partial custoday of my childern and she helped me get 50/50 custoday when my kids mother was being extremely difficult. Heidi answered all my questions and helped me navigate what all I needed to do. After successful completion of the custody agreement she suggested I file support against my ex. I agreed and was astonished at how much I was owed in the 50/50 agreement. I never would have imagined the outcome but Heidi ran circles around my ex's lawyer and fought for every dollar during the conference. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs council in these matters!!!!!

Attorney Noll is incredibly professional and knowledgeable. In the worst time of my life I never felt more confident that I made the right choice by hiring her to represent me in divorce and custody. She and her associate, Amy Koren, are very punctual, timely, responsible, and communicative. I would strongly recommend their services for anyone who finds themselves in need of legal guidance and representation.

Rob is fantastic. He helped me tremendously with a case many years ago, and luckily I haven’t needed his expertise since then, lol. Recently I did have an issue that needed to be resolved immediately, I had no time to waste. I texted Rob that I needed help and he was able to call me at 9am before his busy day in court that consisted of many cases that were not mine. He was able to give me the advice that I needed and from there I was able to move forward and clear everything up for myself. Thanks for the wise words Rob.

I was linked with Mr Carpenter through prepaid legal in 2017 for my custody case. He went above and beyond and above to get me 50/50 custody rights for my kids. I used him again in 2019 when my ex refused to honor the court order, not only that, helped me wrote letters few times without charge.

I believe Carla is one exceptional lawyer! Not only is she hard working and devoted to her clients, but she is compassionate. She has empathy for others and I felt a true connection and comfortably from the start. Going through a divorce is something I never thought I’d ever have to go through but with Carla I don’t feel alone.

Today was a day I was both dreading, but also looking forward to as I had to appear for a preliminary hearing regarding an accidental discharge of a firearm that resulted in the projectile passing through the wall of my dwelling and into the adjacent one.
I say dreading because of the implications it would have on both my life and career. Conversely I was looking forward to it because I had attorney Alan Ross in my corner defending me.
I cannot say enough about how professional Alan was in how he presented himself and my case during the hearing, and the amount of time and effort that he took to prepare for it. In the end, his thorough research of case law, legal statutes, and presiding opinion, and presentation of such before the district justice was impressive. He was prepared for, and countered the opposing arguments of the district attorney and ended up swaying the judge in our favor to dismiss the case on all counts.
I cannot thank Alan enough for all the hard work, and compassion he showed towards both my case and myself, prior to and including today’s hearing . While I hope to never have to retain his services again, should the need arise he will always be the one I look to engage on my behalf, and if anyone is out there reading this because they are seeking outstanding service and representation, I highly encourage you to call him.

Attorney Howe is a thorough attorney; asking relevant questions and ensuring that I understood the legal process. He advised me into taking best course of action, the potential outcomes, and prepared me for each outcome. He helped through each phase of the divorce process. Any legal questions I had, he was able to answer in a way I could understand. He kept me informed of any changes. He also walked me through what could and did happen at the hearing. He was professional and patient as well as compassionate and kind.
He was well prepared and ready to help me put this behind me. His knowledge of the law and the court proceedings eased the process, as there were no surprises he was unprepared.
I highly recommend attorney Howe should you require legal representation.

My husband was caught with distributing drugs and was facing a mandatory of 24 months in jail. We have two little girls and I automatically assumed my life would turn upside down. I contacted my uncle who hired Ben Datika in the past for his sons case. Long story short Ben Datika comforted me and promised me that he will do his best on my husbands case. It is very hard for us financially and I explained this along with our other family issues to Ben and he went above and beyond trying to calm me down and work out a payment plan with me. I really appreciate everything you have done for my husband and myself. Ben came through with his promise and worked out a deal were my husband would only serve 30 days in jail with no probation. I cant thank you enough being a stay at home mom me and my daughters can not wait for there dad to be home. My entire family thanks you.

Dan HANIFIN did an amazing job helping me with my case. was able to get felony reduced to a misdemeanor and that enabled me to get back into school.He made the whole process very smooth and easy to understand every step of the way. Communicated very well, always returned my calls and overall worked hard to move the process along swiftly.

I was looking at 7 points and $1700 in fines which is bad for a tractor trailer driver. My attorney Mr. Daniel Hanifin was able to negotiate on my behalf and got things down to NO POINTS and $900 in fines and was able to get me a payment plan. WOW talk about getting the job done! I would recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney in Pennsylvania.

We cannot recommend Rob enough for legal services. After we lost our parents at a very young age, we were thrown into the difficulties of closing the estate. From the very beginning, Rob was calm, confident, and professional. He laid out a comprehensive plan in which we could easily understand and made the process as quick and pain-free as possible. We never felt overwhelmed with Rob by our side.

I contacted Robert Fravel when I had a landlord-tenant problem that had, sadly, gotten out of hand. He listened to my side of the story, asked focused questions that defined the issue, and presented me with several options. He then prepared carefully worded and legally sound correspondence that resulted in a win for me--without having to take the matter to court! I was especially impressed by Robert’s ability to think quickly and explain legal matters in plain English. He’s professional and pleasant, and he knows his stuff. I also had him review my estate planning documents and the subtle changes that he recommended made perfect sense. If you need the assistance of a smart, responsive, and hardworking attorney, contact him. You won’t be disappointed.

I was referred to Rob from a close friend -- my first impression was that he is so down to earth, extremely knowledgable, and so willing to answer any questions throughout the process. I immediately felt comfortable with things that were really anxiety inducing and he helped undo/redo so much of what was originally done incorrectly. He answered every single question, every email (even if they were novels from me at 1am). He has helped so, so much. He walks you through every step and is compassionate the entire way through. The type of lawyer who goes above and beyond for his clients and will guide you through the highs and the lows. I feel very fortunate to have met him and had him helping me start a nonprofit! I will continue to refer to Rob and could go on forever, but he's the best!

The best experience during a worst case scenario. My son was facing false allegations of a Title IX violation. We researched and consulted several leading legal advisors throughout the country. Several took the approach of "fear factoring" us into needing their legal services but didn't necessarily express a true regard for my son's state of mind. After initially speaking with Atty. Joseph Lento, and immediately being treated with the utmost sincerity and having been acknowledged for our feelings with the matter, we felt we would be moving forward with obtaining their counsel. They even granted a follow-up call waiving an additional consultation fee to allow us the opportunity to address a few points with no pressure to choose their firm. At that point, we knew they had more interest in our comfort level and goals than simply collecting a payment. Once on board, we were assigned to Kyle Adams, who had the knowledge and expertise in this area of law and whom was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made himself available in the evenings, weekends and on his direct cell via telephone, Zoom, as well as in-person simply at our request to ensure my son was comfortable, even though he was over 2 hours away. Kyle's client-centered approach made a significant difference in his case, from a thorough investigation, supportive evidence, and his skillful negotiation helping him achieve a quick resolution to obtain our desired outcome of a withdrawal of the claim. Thanks to the Lento Law Firm and their Atty. Kyle Adams expertise, my son avoided severe academic penalties, if this wasn't handled with the care and diligent efforts that were needed to navigate this endeavor. In the end, my son had regained his reputation and respect of his friends and peers. I cannot express my most heartfelt, and sincere gratefulness for all that was done. We will only reach out to Lento Law Firm and his team if we are ever in need of legal services going forward. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Karen has fought for me tooth and nail in every legal matter I’ve even faced with thus far. She is always the smartest lawyer (and person) in the room, and I could not be happier she’s the one I went with. She has been there for me both on and off the clock as she really cares about her clients- not just making a dollar.
I will forever be grateful for Karen and will recommend her to absolutely any and everyone who needs any sort of legal advice/legal representation!

When fishing for lawyers on AVVO, Ms. Gray instantly stood out. I didn't look at her credentials, or years of experience, or what have you when it came to choosing her. I based my decision purely from how she was honest on about why she was late responding to my inquiry. Reason being it was some family matter, and I felt that was just really...and unnecessarily...honest. I felt that she could have given me any reason, she could have said it was because of work, or saving a bus full of children. But it was just...honest and from there she has been nothing but honest.
Not only that, she is very responsive and the phone conversations that we have, she makes me feel like I'm a person and I'm just having a conversation with another human. Sometimes I hear the dishes in the background, the fridge opening, her sitting something down, the echo of my voice through a car speaker, versus feeling like another number in some office.
Her professionalism is outstanding. If there is something she can do to help you with your case, consider it already done. I hired Ms. Gray and immediately she went to speak to the opposing attorney on my behalf. She is honest and upfront about what to expect during a trial, the do's and dont's, and how to present yourself in a trial.
I could keep going, but at this point, if you haven't decided you want a lawyer who cares, then why are you still here? Go be just another number to some other attorney.
10/10 will rehire.

I called Robin from overseas to ask about a very difficult, complex immigration case. She took her time and answered all my questions. We stayed on the phone for a long time and never once did she rush me or try to “hustle” me. I felt comfortable and calm with her and just for giving me her time and attention I will absolutely hire her as my attorney when its time. I need someone I can talk to without being scared, nervous or feel like I’m bothering someone. This is my life and my future at risk so it’s very important for me to have someone who understands that.

Mr. Mays is by far the best lawyer around. We can't thank him enough for everything he has done for our family. My son was fighting for joint custody of his newborn daughter, and Mr. Mays exceeded everything we thought was possible. He was with us every step of the way, and was always very prepared and professional in and out of the court room. He spent time with us before and after every court appearance to assure that we understood what took place, and he was always so patient and caring when answering our questions. Mr. Mays was very prompt when answering phone calls and emails, and he personally returned all of my son's calls, usually the same day. He was never too busy to address our concerns.
Mr. Mays was able to help my son get shared custody of his daughter and we couldn't be happier! I would recommend Mr. Mays to anyone who wants a top notch lawyer who truly cares about his clients and who is willing to go above and beyond to get them the results they are hoping for. We wouldn't want anyone else beside us in the courtroom! He is the best!

I had the pleasure of engaging Attorney Buscarini to represent me through my divorce proceedings. She did an excellent job of representing my interests throughout the process. She is very knowledgeable and experienced in this area. As one could imagine, a divorce can be a very emotional experience, and Carrie worked with me in a kind, compassionate yet focused manner. Her counsel to me was invaluable, and several times she had to redirect me and my frustration to more positive thinking and outcomes.
I engaged Attorney Buscarini based upon my own research, as well as word of mouth. I was delighted with her representation of me to bring this matter to closure. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the great work of Kasie, Carrie's paralegal. She did a great job of keeping me abreast of the process, documentation, and upcoming meetings given that during the proceedings, I lived out of state.
Overall, the Carrie/Kasie team did a wonderful job, and I am grateful for their representation of me during my divorce proceedings!!

Family member ended up not going to court, and Rebecca negotiated a fair deal between the spouses. It was a difficult situation between a couple in their 70’s. Todd was realistic, easy to talk to, and gave us peace of mind. Hope to not need their services in the future, but would definitely recommend to anyone in a tough PFA situation. We are very grateful to have found them on short notice. They are honest and even followed up after the agreement was signed.

It was a pleasure working with Todd. Of all the attorneys I called to schedule a consultation with, Todd was the only one I was able to speak with directly. He was honest up front with the odds of my case. I appreciate that because he didn’t try to make grand promises or sell me a dream. It helped me manage my expectations. Todd went above and beyond to obtain a copy of surveillance footage which was crucial for my case. It was his keen attention to detail that helped the police to recognize facts about the case which they neglected beforehand, which eventually led to my case being withdrawn. I’m grateful I decided to work with Todd Spivak.

I needed to hire an attorney. I initially consulted another attorney in the area who refused to take over my case because he said there was no damages in it (e.g., money). I disagreed because I was legitimately injured. I asked him to recommend another attorney and Randall was the name of an attorney he gave me.
From my first meeting with Randall, he was professional, courteous, honest about the circumstances & legalities of my case, and treated me with dignity and respect. He took my case because he saw the harm done to me, even if it was not millions of dollars' worth of damages.
Throughout the process, Randall and his staff were responsive and kind, yet fought diligently on my behalf. I would highly recommend Randall to anyone in need of assistance. Being a lawyer is not just about making money, but about obtaining justice for the little person - and Randall lives this out.

I called the number expecting to speak to a paralegal or a Receptionist to set up a consult. Instead I spoke directly to Matt. We went pretty much right into a consult. He listened to me, reviewed what I told him and offered extremely helpful advice. Unfortunately, Matt can not handle the complexities of my case(mostly family law), but he did suggest some other attorneys and gave me some great advice.
I reached out to Matt a few days later to ask if he could send me some documents I had a hard time finding online. Matt promptly responded back and emailed the documents over to me.
I really appreciated how personal he was. He seemed very straightforward and honest. I would have loved to have him handle my case, but I understand the reasons he couldn't.
I will definitely use Matt in the future(God forbid I need him)

Matt represented me in a case that (like most) was a combination of the legal situation and the emotions connected to it. From the first time we spoke, Matt immediately understood my needs and my approach to the situation, and respected me from the start. He listened to my thoughts, answered (and at times, anticipated!) my many, many questions, and honestly made me feel as if I was his most important case and client.
Scheduling time to meet was never an issue, and he met with me a couple of times prior to the actual court date. In addition, Matt was always available by text, and understood my need to reach out whenever a thought, concern, or question popped into my head. And he always addressed any and all thoughts, concerns, and questions.
Matt provides a perspective that incorporates not only the defense side of the matter, but is also able to anticipate how the opposing side will approach the matter. Due to his expertise, experience, and excellent communication skills with the various parties involved, we were able to get a resolution to the case that was as positive as it could have been.

Lori handled my divorce and I am blessed to have had such a caring and competent attorney. During my difficult time when I couldn't think clearly the one thing I was sure of was that she was going to fight for me and I would be ok. Her knowledge of the law never ceased to amaze me. She is incredible and will fight for you. Her confidence and professionalism is top notch. Lori answered all of my calls and emails quickly. Lori acted quickly in every aspect of my divorce. Moving forward I will consider her a friend. She treated me with respect and made me feel so relaxed during a terrible time in my life.

I hired Lori to handle my divorce. She gave me more information during my free consultation than any other attorney (of several I contacted.) Lori is very knowledgeable and has alot of experience; she knows the court system and has worked with many of the other attorneys. She is very professional and takes charge of the process especially when the other party is dragging their feet. She is focused at meetings and is very good at keeping all on task and getting things done. She provides information and her professional opinion , but always asked me what I wanted to do. She is very responsive to emails and phone calls and immediately shared communication from the other party with me so I always knew what was going on. She handles everything and guides you through the whole process and helps you achieve your
the best outcome. I highly recommend this attorney as she is proactive and keeps the process moving.

After splitting up with now my ex wife, I began looking for a "good" attorney. Naturally I searched the internet reading reviews etc. I decided by his great reviews that I wanted Liam Duffy to represent me. That was the absolute best decision of my life. I absolutely loved how Liam spoke to me man to man as though we were friends and having a conversation. He made me feel extremely comfortable, and always explained everything so it all made perfect sense. Liam pretty much put my ex's attorney to shame. It was quite awesome really, I would be lying if I said I wasn't grinning from ear to ear as Liam just shredded my ex's attorney. At one point my ex was trying to stop my daughter from coming with me on my appointed night, it was roughly 6 pm I made a phone call to Liam, he had my ex's attorney on the phone and literally within the hour my ex was dropping my daughter off at my home! Now how many attorneys will do that for ya at 6-7 pm in the evening? Liam got me full physical custody of my daughter and I didn't think it would be possible.

I hired Mr. Cohen to get the job done and he did just that. The only downfall was the time it took to complete my divorce. To no faults of Scott of course. The courts are so backed up it took a while. The positive part was being able to contact Scott and he almost was always available to speak with me. He kept me in the loop with everything that was going on in my case and that was one of the most important things to me. I do recommend Scott if communication is a big deal because he does make it a point to stay in contact and include his client.

I highly recommend Randi as a divorce attorney, particularly if your situation is complex. I am now 10 years post-divorce and having been exposed to a number of attorneys in Chester County I can say confidently that Randi is the best. She is well connected within the system - know's all the stakeholders personally - and understands the law and the implications on her clients situation, regardless of how complex. As a highly compensated person with multiple children, and one with special needs, I depended on Randi's counsel through complex support and custody matters, including guardianship. Her knowledge and creativity in finding and fighting for the best solutions for her client are second-to-none.

It's been a constant struggle with my son's mother, before acquiring Randi J. Vladimer as my attorney i had no chance to show the courts the stress she was causing for me and my wife. Randi and her team have helped me exercise my rights as a father and legally they have put me in a position to ultimately give my son the best life possible. My case is an international custody case i live in Switzerland and my son's mother lives in Pennsylvania, these type of cases are very complex because we are dealing with a different set of laws and rules for each country. The complexity has not stopped Randi and her team from being great and ensuring I get a fair shot at taking care of my child.
My wife and i now view her as a family member because she will be my attorney as a long as she is practicing.
I highly recommend Randi !

I applied H1B this year and my company lawyer filed the application. It is selected in the lottery, but I received an RFE in July. The RFE reason is special occupation and beneficial qualification. I worked with my company's lawyer for the first two months, but is not satisfied with their work. My friend recommends Calvin to me and he is great. He quickly started to work on my case and outlined a few key points for the RFE response. We then started to prepare the material and got most material prepared within 10 days. Calvin is very patient and answers all my questions immediately. Although I am located in Seattle area, I am always able to communicate with him by email or phone calls. The RFE is finally approved last week. I would strongly recommend Calvin to anyone who is applying for H1B or responding to H1B RFE. I may also consult or hire him for future immigration questions/cases.

I applied for H1b in 2017 and I didn't use Calvin in the beginning. However I got a RFE in August and my previous lawyer was not responsible and not caring for my case. Googling all the reviews online I chose Calvin, who is very experienced and professional, and it turned out to be the perfectly right choice. He cared about my case and brought out a lot of helpful suggestions.
Everybody experienced this know how frustrating, his timely replies, confidence are really comforting.
Anyway, I will continue have Calvin handle my other immigration issues and will highly recommend to my friends.

I met with Jennifer after my disappointment with my two year experience with another attorney. At my first meeting with Jen, she knew more about my case from reviewing before our meeting than my previous attorney had obtained over the course of two years. Right away I could tell she was very organized, prepared and focused on me and what she could do for me. She is very professional and straightforward. She also is very passionate about justice and is very empathetic and compassionate. She was excellent and thorough with communicating and also listening . I never felt hurried or confused about what was happening. Within three weeks from our initial meeting, I was in her office signing a divorce agreement. She moves swiftly and confidently, reading between the lines and checking all the boxes. She got me a better offer than I initially expected and I didn’t have to worry about any loose ends. She is all around an amazing person to have on your side, whatever the reason. My experience was a ten out of ten.

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.
