I had an outstanding warrant from a while back on a misdemeanor charge. I now live in Florida so I needed to hire an attorney that could facilitate the release of the warrant as well as see if there was a solution to this whole nightmare. I started to search and came across Ryan McAllister. I reached out via email to several attorneys at that time and honestly Ryan was the only one who responded that he was willing to help me out. I didn't act on matters immediately because I was saving up to pay Ryan as well as any court associated costs. Once I did have enough to move forward I again contacted Ryan and provided the information that he needed to proceed. Ryan took time to research and find out what was going on. It turned out the warrant was no longer in effect as of March 2019. Ryan was able to get all this information very quickly and delivered the excellent news. in all this I still had not given Ryan a dime. I then asked Ryan what is the charge for his assistance in this situation and to my absolute shock was told there would be no charge. Ryan was just happy to be able to give me the great news. If you need someone on your side who is a go getter. Ryan is your guy. I hope to never need his services again but should the unfortunate need arise, He'd be my only call . Thanks Ryan for all your help

I began working with Ryan and the group (Susan) back in December when I filed for Divorce. To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect going in... there was a lot I didn’t understand and truly never expected to be in this position let alone being the one to file. Ryan met with me and I was instantly at ease in a way that I was no longer in this alone. He was detailed, honest, didn’t push or want anything more than what I wanted. Unfortunately, as time passed things did become complicated and a little frustrating... but both he and Susan handled everything with professionalism and grace. Their communication with me through the process was clear and very very timely. I never had to wait more than a day for a call back or response to an email. I pray I never have to go through this situation again in my life... but if I do or any of my family or friends ever find themselves in need of legal counsel or consultation... Ryan McAllister is who I will call!

I turned to Brooke after hiring another firm to initiate my divorce, however that firm failed miserably and took thou$and$ of dollars. Sadie immediately went to work on my case, filing only necessary motions, arguing what needed to be done, and getting it done. She did in 8 months what my previous firm failed to do over 3 years, and at half the cost. My divorce was resolved fairly and reasonably with McMorrow Law there every step of the way. I've worked with attorneys my entire career and would absolutely recommend McMorrow Law.

This review is unique in that Brooke represented my husband in divorce proceedings. The lawyer I hired, Deborah Iwanyshyn, I could fill this page with complaints, but this is about Brooke. I feel Brooke kept interest in what is best and fair with both parties in my divorce. After dismissing my lawyer, I was able to speak with Brooke and she wasted no time in completing the process. I got replies to emails in the same day with the up most professional responses. I believe Brooke truly cares about her clients and gets a 5 star in my review!

I recently went through a devastating period in my life where I was charged with 2 felony charges and a misdemeanor related to my business. I turned to a friend who is a well respected prosecuting attorney and asked who the best defense attorney is in the area...without hesitation she said Joel Peppetti. The prosecuting attorney said that he was the most prepared, the most knowledgeable, and will research the facts of your case. I immediately made the call to Mr. Peppetti's office and I am so grateful that I did. I appreciated Joel's professionalism throughout my case. He was very patient in letting me explain the circumstances of my case. He was very straight forward, he never over promised, didn't "sugar coat" anything. I was concerned with the legal fees I was going to incur, but Joel was very honest with his fees. He explained how the fees would be assessed, and there were no hidden charges. Even after paying my legal fees to his office, I needed additional appointments to discuss my case. Joel met with me without charging me additional fees. The best news of all is that, through his legal expertise, I reached an agreement with the Commonwealth of PA to dismiss my felony charges, and plead "no contest" to the one misdemeanor. Even though this event was horrible and turned my life upside down, I will always be forever grateful to Attorney Joel Peppetti and his staff!

Mr. Cali always listened carefully, and through his professionalism, skill and knowledge of the law guided me through my difficult divorce, even when emotionally I was falling apart, Mr. Cali and his team managed to fill me with confidence that I was in the most competent hands and that they would ensure the best possible results. I cannot thank Mr. Cali and his team enough for the outcome that exceeded my expectations, they have successfully given me my life back, along with my farm and my inheritance that is now secure for future generations. I recently met my now ex husband at our granddaughters christening, he politely congratulated me on the divorce and added, “your attorney chewed mine up and spat him out, he always seemed to have my attorneys head spinning” Mr. Cali will forever have my gratitude and respect.

Attorney Miller assisted me and my family with a Landlord//Tenant dispute and resolved our issue. Upon my first consultation with him, he listened to my case/grievance and jumped right in to help me. When I met with him in person for document review, he gave me a "firm" hand shake, which shows a person's sincerity and integrity, and Attorney Miller has both. I recommend Attorney Miller for any Landlord/Tenant case, as he fights hard for justice for his clients. Attorney Miller is the best lawyer in Chester County, by far.

As a father himself, Nick knows how much our children mean to us. His reputation and more importantly, his relationship with his own kids is one of the reasons I felt so confident in consulting and ultimately hiring him in the first place. Nick represented me in a custody conciliation hearing and was able to get exactly everything we asked for. Nick is a no-nonsense lawyer. He did not promise me the world or inflate our chances and then not deliver. Nick told me exactly how the process would work from start to finish and how he expected things to go based on his vast experience. He was not wrong. In the hearing, Nick worked well with the master assigned to the case and the other party had really no other option but to acquiesce. He also assisted the master in making a recommendation that would not be cost prohibitive to either side. I specifically said I did not want to cause more grief than necessary to my wife and he listened. He did not disparage my wife by any means and conveyed my intentions flawlessly. Nick's professional attitude and demeanor allowed him to stay on top of the situation and his preparation allowed me to remain the primary custodian of my children. I would recommend Nick Masington III to anyone who needs representation in their custody/divorce or anything for that matter. Nick and the other lawyers at ARM will not let you down.

To cost, the process, possible outcomes, what I need to do, etc. He was very honest and upfront and showed not only he cared about my case, the outcome but about me and my life. In July my bail was $100,000. Thanks to his expertise he got the bail dropped which allowed me to be free. He worked tirelessly and relentlessly on my case for over a year. He was there to answer any question or hear any concerns. I originally had 28 charges and he got them down to 11. Thanks to his dedication, hard work and experience, rather then doing several years in state prison, I got probation, which I was originally told wasn't an option, and gps ankle monitor.

Having no experience with the criminal justice system and being in our mid 60's we asked our Farming organization for a referral and hired an attorney in Harrisburg who did not communicate with us and did not know the law and certainly did not know the Centre County justice system. After being fed up we looked at reviews and Tim's stood out. We asked for a consultation and in minutes Tim understood the issue and formulated a strategy. Tim spent an entire hour with us and would not charge us. However, Tim did not take our case because we were in the process past the preliminary hearing stage. I wish we would have found Tim from the beginning. He offered great advise that our attorney would not take and he offered to talk to our attorney if he would call him for advise on the Centre County personalities. Hire Tim, he knows the system, has great strategies, returns calls and explains everything. We wish we would have known what to look for in an attorney but we were scared so we took a bad recommendation. Now my husband will be pleading guilty for raising animals in the wettest year on record in a natural way that face book people found offensive and we simply can't afford to go on with this criminal justice process that is anything but just and is unbelievably expensive and has put us under incredible stress, worry and fear that has harmed our health and well being.

I highly recommend calling Attorney Eric J. Mikovch should you find yourself in a situation where you need a defense attorney. I initially called his secretary for an appointment, and he called me back in under 30 minutes and asked me questions to obtain all the information he needed. He recognized how upset I was and offered to meet with me during my lunch time that day. I had intense fear and anxiety, and he reassured me that everything would be ok. I hired him on the spot to represent me and, he won my case for me. Between the time of initial contact to the end of my trial date, he stayed in contact with me via phone and text, replying back to me immediately with answers to my questions. He is professional and attentive, but also very compassionate and friendly. I can't image dealing with my problem without him. My outcome was the best possible.

I most recently needed her services again a few weeks ago and she never disappoints!! She has ALWAYS been honest, knowledgeable, upfront, compassionate, and never have I reached out to her office and not heard back from her with answers to my questions. I, like many, probably wish we didn't have to go through support and other issues but I can say from my personal experiences with her that I would NEVER set foot in court without her! She has fought for my children like she is part of our family. I trust her guidance and gentle but extremely firm and knowledgeable approach with the various situations that we have been faced with.

She articulated eloquently with distinctive style and grace. She was respectful of my son and our family. The associates that worked along with her only complimented her.

All right I normally do not write these things but in this case, its least i can do... Up until I became a single father I had never needed to try and find lawyer, let alone a good one... and the idea of having to go to court and fight that custody and support battle was overwhelming and scary. The first few consultations with other council was extremely disheartening, most lawyers are slimey, and i wanted nothing to do with any of it.. luckily, I was discussing this very thing with a coworker buddy and he handed me Alan's card, and said call "call him, tell him i sent you"... I will never need or want another lawyer. long story short, Alan got me everything i asked for, he's one of the good ones, not out to get rich and rack up the billable hours...he's there to help. There is nothing worse than seeing good, hard-working everyday people get taken advantage of...Alan does something about it

I worked with Ashley Eckert through my divorice. She and her staff (shoutout Lindsay!), were amazing. Prompt, thorough, responsive and provided clarity when needed (and I definitely needed it). I never felt like "another case". Ashley made things seem easy during quite an emotionally tumultuous time for me and I cannot recommend her enough.

Excellent representation! Every detail of my divorce complaint and the process was thoroughly explained. Not only did Ms. Eckert and her staff represent me but ADVOCATED for me. When responses from the other party were not delivered in a timely manner, Ms. Eckert, again, advocating for me, applied the necessary pressure and legalities in order to facilitate and expedite the process. Timely, Professional, Detailed and a true advocate for clients. Thank You, Ashley!

LaMonaca Law Firm was a lifesaver throughout my divorce. Greg LaMonaca’s Brutally Honest Family Law Coaching helped me tremendously. It took me from feeling helpless and hopeless to the point that I realized I could and would make it through. When you are going through a divorce, you do not think clearly. This program helped me confront my fears, understand my past and realize that a future was possible for me. The Strategic Planning helped me to understand the legal side of the divorce. Never going through a divorce before, I had no idea what was in store. The team at LaMonaca Law was able to calm my fears and speak to me in a way that made sense at my level – leaving out all the confusing legal terms. I was treated like a team member and not another case. When I had my freak out moments and called or sent e-mails, my fears were calmed within minutes or hours. I even received calls/e-mails on the weekends. The firm is amazing, I’m not sure how they do it, but the empathy and care they provide when your life is being turned upside down is paramount. I would recommend this firm and the Brutally Honest Family Law Coaching and Strategic Planning to anyone going through a divorce. It truly helped me feel in total control of my situation.

“Your case is far from the norm”. For years, this is what I have heard, not only my attorneys, but from two Chester County judges and therapists/professionals in the double digits. My divorce and custody case was/is far from the norm. It has turned out to be a very challenging, trying, and emotional divorce/custody matter since 2013. Every step of the way, LaMonaca Law has been there for me in every possible way. Being falsely accused of matters that separates a parent their child is one of the most difficult and emotional situations a parent can go through. It is also one of the hardest things to combat and expose the truth, especially as a father and especially when the falsely accusing parent has an agenda to rid the falsely accused parent from the child’s life forever. This has been my situation. After hearing my story and studying my case, Greg and his staff had complete faith in me and what I was fighting for. This was/is so important to me, because without that faith and belief in me and my cause, LaMonaca Law would not be involved in my case. My case has been, and still is, a very difficult and emotional experience for not only me, but my family and loved ones. Greg and his staff have and keeps me grounded and focused on what I need to do to get through difficult times. I often receive calls from Greg to “check in” with me to make sure I am doing ok mentally. This is what separates Greg from other family law attorneys. He does this not only as my attorney, but also as a friend and a believer in justice. This firm truly cares about you and will fight for your legal rights. Over the course of my divorce/custody matter, there have been twists and turns that even Greg and his staff had not experienced but had anticipated. One of the best attributes of LaMonaca Law is their preparation and planning. Multiple scenarios are anticipated and there is always a plan A, B, C & D. Greg and his staff have the know-how to think outside the box and venture new and unchartered paths to reach the end goal. I know there are many fathers who have had their children taken away or have very limited access to them as well as fathers who have been disparaged and even wrongly accused of criminal acts committed against their children. LaMonaca Law has done groundbreaking work in uncharted territories in this area. I am not sure just how many clients LaMonaca Law has, but I am made to feel that I am their only client. If you need a superior Family Law firm to represent you, I strongly recommend the Law Firm of Gregory P. LaMonaca. Greg LaMonaca and his staff are true professionals in every sense of the word.

I was so impressed with LaMonaca Law, in the way they showed professionalism around my case. There is no question in my mind that every person there who worked on my case truly cared about me and my future. In a field - divorce law - that has a reputation for a distanced level of abrasiveness, LaMonaca law showed me nothing but a warm embrace based on personalized attention - I got to see a whole different side of what is usually an unpleasant process. Most importantly, they really know marital law, as well as all the idiosyncrasies that pertain to the guidelines and practices of Delaware County. They knew the details of my case, and they understood well the challenges I was dealing with in my divorce case. I stand squarely behind my recommendation of LaMonaca Law!

I was referred to David by my mediation attorney to help with a challenging post-divorce custody dispute. David was truly exceptional throughout the process, which ended favorably. He took the time to understand the personal and legal nuances of the situation and clearly laid out my options. He provided all of the information I needed and was an excellent partner in the decision-making processes. He is also exquisitely knowledgeable about family law and how to manage litigation. His experience being in a court room and interacting with judges was obvious and reassuring. And throughout the process, David was up-front and transparent about the costs and let me take approaches that ultimately reduced my legal fees. His assistance was absolutely worth the investment. I really cannot say enough positive things. It was an exceptionally challenging time filled with anxiety. I knew I had the right partner on my side, which made all of the difference. I will certainly hire him again if needed.

I retained David Steerman to represent me in a child custody matter in which I was wrongfully accused of various claims by my childs other parent. In what was an extremely difficult time in my life, David was thoughtful, diligent, and attentive to my case. I was most impressed by his ability to treat my case like it was his only focus throughout the process. He spent countless hours preapring for and representing me in my trial. By educating me on law, and by representing me in the most honorable way through honesty and diligence, we successfully defeated the false claims and I retained custody of my child. I would recommend David to anyone seeking assitance in child custody matters. He truly took the time to support me and my case to a level of detail which I believe is unmatched against his peers. David is highly skilled in his profession and has insights and knowledge that are beyond that of other counsel in the marketplace. When this is combined with a truly caring and empathetic individual, you truly get the best representation. I can not thank David enough for what he did for me and my family. I think about what he did for me on a weekly basis and will forever be greatful.

In addition to being extremely thorough, detailed and knowledgable, David was understanding, compassionate and sensitive. Most importantly however, he listened. He did not push me into unnecessary litigation and listened to my unique requests. My divorce consisted of one meeting with both parties represented, and one follow up meeting to sign the paperwork. Since my divorce was finalized, David has continued to be responsive and helpful when additional questions/items arise. I feel fortunate to have him as my advocate.

We worked with Adam for a number of years on our case and can't say a single unfavorable word about his work. From the very first meeting Adam kept us most well informed about potential outcomes of the process, we've always had a clear view of the situation we're in or are going into. All potential ways of handling our case were explained with the most transparency. Adam's most striking virtue is - not often found in his field - honesty, which we value highly on top of his excellent skills as an attorney. We've never felt being played or treated any shady way. Even if our friends with similar cases reported rather different updates on current laws and regulations from their lawyers, it always turned out that Adam's advice and view were correct and well-tuned. I don't know what your case is and where are you heading with your immigration process, but I assure you Adam Solow is a man to get you through it. I'd like to also thank Adam and his team for what they did for us. We'll always be thankful and remember what a wonderful people you are.

I reached out to Renee to get a second opinion on the expungement for my DUI. I'm in the ARD program and she is helping to expedite the expungement process. The attorney that represented me during my DUI trial said there was nothing else I could do to get the DUI off of my record early. Renee is looking at different angles and moving forward with helping to resolve this matter. I also received two summary charges that do not look good on my record for future job opportunities. She is helping me to appeal these charges when two other attorneys told me there was nothing I could do. Renee is very intelligent, aggressive and most importantly I could tell she cared about me and my stressful situation. That is very hard to find especially when one approaches an attorney for the first time. I highly recommend Renee for any legal issues. Jeff V.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
