I can't say enough good things about Gary it was easy to get things taken care of painless and the physical therapy helped unfortunately I learned one thing, don't think your auto insurance company is not on your side Gary fought for everything he could get I had witnesses on my side but without Gary I would not have known how to navigate the legal system he guided me through it so easily I would recommend Gary to anyone looking for a hard-working lawyer who's fighting for his client will not letting the client worried, I was kept informed and was more than happy with the outcome thank you Gary you and your staff were wonderful.

My calling them turned out to be a big mistake. After getting the preliminary paperwork done and I was waiting for them to complete the next step, then I was told they were unable to move forward with it. They didn't give a reason for this waste of time.

My dad has a family court case Mr. Al Reese took up himself. He consulted with me for over an hour. His team communicated with my dad and myself consistently. My dad's case has not commenced as of yet, however, either way it goes I highly recommend Mr. Reese and his legal team for all your family court need. Just the consideration to our case and willingness to accept payment plan options outside of his normal business hours. Mr. Reese even came to my dad's home to consult with him after hours. I am so grateful for the care along the way. Nothing like other lawyer firms such as Darbouze Law group which basically robbed my dad blind and is very blatantly taking advantage of those who are weakened because of their lack of legal knowledge. Thank you AGR Law for cleaning up Darbouze mess and regaining our faith in the representation available for our community. Family court cases, choose AGR Law today!

Dan Glasser isn't a good lawyer. I do NOT recommend him. He wasn't prepared for the trial. He yells at his own clients during the trial in front of everyone. He is very arrogant and thus isn't very effective lawyer. When you first talk to him, he presents himself as a very good lawyer but very soon you'll realize that it's just a show and in reality he isn't good.

We got an appointment with Mr. Glasser one week after I called. He was very thorough and told us what to expect as well as how we were going proceed. He took down all the information about the case and told us the cost of his retainer. Once he received the retainer, he got right on the case and everything was filed at courts within a week. He take such good care of their clients.

Meghan not only helped represent me in an ugly custody battle once but twice. She learned as much as possible about our case and did hours of work to prepare for our extremely long and stressful trial dates. She did an exceptional job of sticking to the facts and calling issues to the judges attention that most would miss. For me she wasn’t just an attorney, she helped me keep custody of my beautiful children!

Previously informed Attorney Michael was going to file a PFA. She said no, don't do that. While in Doylestown at hearing case was ajorned pending I file there, that day, while in Doylestown a PFA that she told me previously not to do! I believe this was planned to spend fees previously given to her. I wanted to do this BEFORE hearing but Michael said no. So she was getting paid because she was in Doylestown for my case. I needed to ask her a question I was looking for her she could not be found. I learned I couldn't find her because she was in a hearing with another client that same day! I will never trust her! I think she's sneaky and I got taken advantage of. I never received itemization as to what happened to the $2,500 she had been paid. She has NO CLASS! I will never trust her again and she gets a very bad review! I really want my money back I sent her a text and she never responded. I would call her and she had to go and would not answer questions I had. I never received itemized statement informing me what happened to the $2,500 I gave her. Nothing became of the case since I reconciled with my girlfriend. In the end no results. Terrible attorney!

After many google searches, and endless phone calls with other lawyers, literally about to give up hope, Karen Reynolds family law popped up on google. Let me preach about Karen and our story for a moment; because I will forever swear by Karen Reynolds. She is the most patient, kindhearted, attentive, thorough lawyer we have had the pleasure of working with. My fiancé has had an ongoing uphill custody battle with the mother of his child. Not only would the mother not let the child see his father; but she wouldn’t even allow a simple phone call for Father’s Day. Or a call on his birthday. because a “5yr old boy has just such a busy schedule; there was no time or room to fit in dad.”That is what the mother told the father in many messages. From the countless messages of him begging to just speak with his son. Sadly, I hopelessly watched the man who I love and admire for his strength and resilience crumble and break. this woman singlehandedly, who he once loved, vowed to spend the rest of his life with; the same woman who he created a beautiful little boy with destroyed any hope he had of ever seeing his child again. The same man who I 1000 percent trust with my 3 boys, wasn’t allowed to even speak to his child. The mother ripped even his legal rights away. Finally my fiancé listened to me, and went against his “better” judgment. (He’s had really bad luck in the past with previous lawyers.). we saved for the lawyer, and in March met with Karen. We told her his story. She listened and was very very thorough with the history, paperwork, and attentiveness to the matter. There wasn’t a time of day Karen didn’t respond to a call or email. Karen saw my fiancé is not a bad person. He is not an evil man he was made to look like. And he was NOT abusive or controlling in the ways he was portrayed. He was a stay at home daddy that devoted himself to his son. Then was turned into the manipulative angry violent monster. He was not perfect. He had an addiction that stemmed from his time in the marines. But he got clean 3yrs ago; and has been clean ever since. Ultimately, he was not that person he was made out to be;In fact Karen saw his kind heart, his emotionally charged unconditional love for his son; difficulty in swallowing his pride to let Karen take control. Almost a 9mths since my fiancé last saw his child; months of back and forth emails, phone calls, consolidations, court hearings, piles and piles of paperwork. Karen’s motherly frustrations, patience, and instinct with my fiancé was award winning to say the least. With every bump Along the way, she never gave up on my fiancé; she never told him it was impossible. Actually, she told him it was inevitable; he was going to see his son again. At some points my fiancé started to lose hope. But between Karen and myself, we kept him fighting. Now, my fiancé gets every other weekend with his child. He has his legal rights back; which shouldn’t have been taken to begin with. He can show up to his extra curricular activities. He can FaceTime with his son privately. His son finally gets to meet his step brothers that he has been hearing on those calls. He gets holidays. He gets to be apart of his child life again... all thanks to Karen. Karen made the impossible, possible again. We still call on her for the most minuscule things; because the mother makes it absolutely impossible to work with. But again, Karen is still right there, sending email after email. We couldn’t be any more grateful for her. trust me, our battle isn’t over yet. She will also be handling his divorce, too.
If you want a welcoming, kindhearted, assertive “shark” lawyer who is has an abundance of knowledge. who is very well educated in family law, and will help with the financial aspect the best she can; Karen Reynolds is without a doubt the best family lawyer Throughout Chester and Montgomery county. i swear she is worth every penny. (Karen, we cant say thank you enough.). The coffee at the office was the cherry on top.

I had the pleasure of working with Vitti Law Group, and I couldn’t be more impressed with its level of service and expertise. From the intake consultation to the final resolution of my case, they demonstrated exceptional professionalism and dedication.
Lois was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly explain every aspect of the legal process, ensuring I was informed and comfortable with each step. Nicole made sure that everything was done correctly and by law.
Communication was always clear and prompt, and I felt genuinely supported throughout the process. Their commitment to my case exceeded my expectations, and I truly appreciate their hard work and personal touch.
I highly recommend Vitti Law Group for reliable and skilled legal representation. They made a challenging situation much easier to navigate, and I am grateful for their exceptional service.

Jordan represents me in a contentious custody matter. The Delaware County court system is prejudicial to those without legal council. When it comes to the safety and welfare of the child it best to have great representation. Jordan has a good relationship with the hearing officer's, judges and lawyers. She is articulate, logical and passionate. These qualities are necessary when navigating the family court system. In my experience dealing with a obnoxious opposing council and a vengeful, narcissistic ex partner Jordan has no qualms about being cutthroat. Jordan has made my life easier with dealing with unnecessary litigation abuse. In my case I had to make stressful financial choices in order to have the best representation, Jordan was so kind and help me out financially and still preformed at her highest caliber. Throughout my two year custody battle the only thing I regret is not finding Jordan from the very beginning. If you are a loving, caring parent who is honest about themselves and your situation, wants what's best for your children, or is dealing with a difficult ex-partner this is the lawyer you need. In the Delaware County court system you will need a lawyer who isn't apart of the good ole boys club and can't be gaslit or manipulated. Go with Jordan she's your best bet.

Jordan has represented me for my custody battle and divorce. I had a very complicated and messy divorce. Jordan never left my side. She navigates the legal system with confidence and has a sense of authority that is unparalleled. She helped me cross the finish line with full custody of my children and without this woman as my counsel, I would have never survived to see this day. All I can say is thank you Jordan! Don’t hesitate to hire this woman.

2016 my life was changed forever if I knew you can right reviews I would have done this sooner. I was introduced to Jordan by a friend after being arrested and my rights violated.i had all evidence to clear my name even a credible witness that could have clear my name. She looked at me and said “you got it all figured out”. Not telling me she doesn’t specialize in criminal cases or anything in that manner. Instead took at-least 3000 dollars of payment from me. She didn’t show evidence or allow my witness to speak at all she never even followed any of my directions as she worked for me my witness and the person who car I had both came to every court case and she did not mention them in court. My case was pushed all the way to pretrial with no effort in fighting my case. I tried to get a new attorney before my guilty plea they would not take my case on instead they informed her of it instead and she berated me in a telephone call afterwards. She gave me no option but to plead guilty when I told her I was innocent. When the judge ask am I sure I want to plead guilty which I didn’t she tapped me and said don’t say anything. I received a 6 month jail sentence 6 months house arrest 5 years probation and a felony guilty plea. Now I have fight to get a governor pardon which is slim to none. She ruined my life as I fight to recover from bad professional advice that at the time I didn’t know she is required to put me in the best position to win my case which she didn’t. I’m allow to post this anonymous but I want people to know my story I’m at peace but I will never forget what she done to me. Without a chance at a pardon my life Will always have financial burden because of my felony conviction. I wish I could sue for Negligence but she made sure I had all evidence destroyed even my evidence I gave her to fight my case.

Ryan made a lot of promises to me that he could not deliver. For example, he said the case will be wrapped up in 3 months. It didn’t. It took 9 months and with loose ends. He promised he’d call me the next day. He didn’t. Not the next day or the next. He promised to send me a document. He didn’t. I’d ask again. Again he promised to send it. He didn’t. It’s a repeat pattern throughout the case. I found him to be negligent with the case, even incompetent.

I have an extremely complex family law case, and after my experience with prior counsel, it is very clear that Meredith is an expert at her craft. Whatever you need, Merdith is there and she is beyond capable to tackle even your most complex issues. However, what stands out the most is her experience with the policies and procedures within York County and the respect that all members of the York county judiciary have for her and her skills. She isn’t just an attorney, she’s part of our family.

After a severed relationship with another attorney, Lindsay stepped right in and took the reigns with my case. She set clear expectations and the communication I received from her and her team was refreshing in comparison to the experience with my prior counsel. After our initial consultation, I was impressed by how well Lindsay had studied the history of my case. I felt like she had experienced the timeline of events with me and I was never worried about her missing important details. I appreciate that she spent time preparing me for each appearance in court and maintained a professional appearance and demeanor. Lindsay was ready for any obstacles that came in our direction from opposing counsel and I felt confident with her representing me and my children. I would highly recommend her services!

Lindsay has been my attorney since we enlisted her services when we purchased our house in 2015. She also represented me in a domestic relations case when I found out I had a teenage daughter from a past relationship. She represented me in support hearings and was extremely influential it mitigating a possitive outcome. She is always my only recommendation for family and real estate law.

Could not be more disappointed in the effort. It’s one thing to get a raw deal from a very broken system. It’s another to feel like your attorney couldn’t care less.
You would think that before a conversation with your client, you would have done some prep and know the broad strokes of the case…. When you have tell your attorney how long your marriage was over and over again, it just sends an “I don’t care” message to your client. At least the first 3 times we spoke I had to tell her the length of marriage. Dealing with the issue of spousal support, where length of marriage is a key factor, you would think that you would not have to answer that question repeatedly. I know this to be true, because it stuck in my mind. I started having 2nd thoughts during each of the first couple conversations. Didn’t get the sense she cared one bit about the case.
We had a meeting scheduled several days prior to a court hearing. 1pm she was to call me. I sat around for hours. No call. Now she claims that she called and nobody answered. Well I have no missed call. I have no voicemail. I have no email. No communication whatsoever until 7:30am, on the day of the hearing, 5 days later. Zero effort made to contact me in the 5 days between the scheduled call and meeting.
After that January date until the next scheduled hearing, in April, we did not have a single conversation. I wasn’t even sure I was still being represented at that point. I had already become indifferent as to whether or not she would be at the next hearing. I get a call at 4:30pm the day prior. It’s not her paralegal. It’s not my attorney. It’s another attorney from the firm who I worked with on a different case. I had more contact with him during the hearing than I did with my attorney of record. Matter of fact, from January on, even past that April date, we didn’t have a single conversation where privilege would attach. Because we never communicated.
Just absolutely unbelievable… you can’t guarantee results, but you will never get results if you fail make any effort. I know opposing counsel is digging into my finances and anything he can get his hands on. I couldn’t even get my attorney to request a copy of my wife’s unemployment claim, even with an easy in to the claim as a personal friend of mine is a supervisor with PA Unemployment office and I just simply needed to have an official request. Sounds like “inadequate discovery” to me….

The Law Offices of Max C. Feldman is a tightly woven network of highly professional attorneys and staff professionals who walked me and my family through two years of custody and child support litigations, supporting and reassuring us every step of the way.
I knew Max Feldman was the right attorney for us the moment I met him with his strong words, compassion, and determination. I appreciated Max, Nick, Joe and their team for always keeping us in the loop about our case and every little step that needed to be handled to move the case forward to a favourable outcome.
These last two years have been undoubtedly stressful and frightening for me and my family, but we can finally say that we have finally reached an agreement and now can move forward.
Thank you again Max, Nick, and Joe for everything you have done for me and my family. I strongly would recommend the Law Offices of Max C. Feldman for their family court expertise!

I wouldn`t recommend to work with Lidia as long as she has a very poor customer service.
Sometimes she was very rude over the phone talking to me. She couldn`t get time to call adjuster from other insurance
for over 3 month and every time was finding new excuses. I guess my case wasn`t valuable enough for her. I will never use her services again.

Ok I was going trough a divorce filling. The case was failed against me and marriage, custody, child support, spousal support, property split all was at stake. I was looking for the local lawyers and first one I found was a completely different type. He was knowledgeable but very aggressive. His fees were never disclosed and happened to be a way high. He was pushing for a trial with very uncertain perspectives considering a luck of desire from my now ex-spouse to cooperate.
Frustrated I came to Lidia. She offered a very different approach. She suggested to negotiate with my spouse and explained how can the matter be solved in a peaceful way. She told me that most of the people who go trough a divorce do eventually agree on something and it is a way better to pursue this approach from the start as every hour of a trial will cost a fortune. Even it represented a certain risk I agreed with her.
It happened to be that this strategy worked. Negotiations were not easy but with Lidia help I was able to show what is guaranteed to me by law and could not be disputed. Eventually me and my now ex spouse agreed and we managed to divorce without a trial. I got a great deal on custody. My child support payment were determined by the state law. All other things been resolved by the mutual agreement that satisfied us both.
Lidia fees were more than reasonable. She did a lot of work. Answered all my phone calls and responded to millions of my emails. Also she made multiple changes in the initial agreement to satisfy my ex-spouse demands. Not to say that at the moment I hired her my paperwork was very much messed up by the previous lawyer and Lidia and her stuff had to do a lot of additional work to bring things in order.
Overall I am more than happy about my experience and would recommend Lidia to everyone. Be afraid of lawyers who do not disclose their fees and push you too much for the trial. Trial is a costly process and very good for lawyers. Not for you.
But Lidia is very upfront about the cost and she was always advising the most economically sound solution. Do not know how to express how much thankful I am to her.

Being a Maryland resident I knew no attorneys in the State of PA. I used the York County Bar Association to locate attorneys who would take a PFA defense case for my niece.
In the initial consultation with Attorney Montanye, I found him to be “engaging” and completely familiar with the information I had provided his office prior to our meeting.
We are using his services now in a custody and divorce filing.
The team at his office is excellent and always helpful.

Mark was a beacon of hope for my daughter and I at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. Not only was he able to defend us from an unjust accusation, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and the one I care about most. My daughter and I are finally in the best position we can be and I am eternally grateful for his service. I hereby recommend Mark without reservation.

Absolutely horrific representation. My friend who has suffered a lifetime of domestic abuse hired her for custody. Her children were also being devastatingly abused and neglected. Alina did not fight for them nor their rights, instead she handed over their case to opposing counsel on a silver platter. Provided absolutely no defense and advised her to bend over and take it conceding to their every demand.

Posting a review that could easily consume several pages. Over the past year, Deb has provided an outstanding level of advice, moral support and professional services as I explored and committed to adoption. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable and well organized but she was punctual, professional, has clear communication and great follow-up! I was very fortunate to have Deb by my side, who provided the kind of support you would normally only receive from your closest loved ones. Always professional, but also personable enough to see and understand Deb’s profession is her passion! Our journey was long and at times wearing but I was consistently blown away by her commitment to us as clients and you will be too.

I initially engaged Deb for a custody case and have been very grateful ever since. She was able to win sole custody for the father, which seemed like a dream when we started the process. Deb was able to accomplish what seemed like an impossible task in the City of Philadelphia, and a child's life and our lives are immeasurably better as a result. She was understanding of the matter, an excellent communicator with the child, and fantastic with keeping us in the loop on all procedures. I would recommend her to anyone seeking counsel in any of the fields she specializes in.

Brian was late to both hearings and I was not prepped well at a short hearing that ended up being a formal custody hearing. He did not have questions ready for cross examinations and allowed opposing counsel to bring in surprise witnesses without notice to a short hearing. He's nice but I would spend the money to hire someone more aggressive if you want to win your case.

Brian helped me get my daughter back after my ex took her to another state. This being my first time dealing with any type of court proceedings, Brian made me feel very comfortable during the process. When he talked to me he made sure to explain things to me so I could understand whats going on. He has always responded to my calls or emails within a timely manor and answered all my questions and concerns.

Nicole is an Excellent Lawyer. Working with her has been a pleasure. She is very detailed oriented and treats her clients with respect. She helped me get a Deed to my home after my husband passed away which was a major task. But she came thru for me with flying colors. She also helped me with my Will and is now working with me on a difficult Executorship. I wouldn't use anybody else. I highly recommend her services

We have been working with Nicole since 2018 regarding elder planning for both of my parents. We couldn't have asked for a kinder and more understanding person to handle our affairs. She truly understands how difficult these situations can be and made our situation so much easier to get through. While Nicole is always professional, we've come to consider her a friend. I highly recommend her.

My husband & I came across Nicole through my mother in law. Nicole was handling some elder care issues we were having. Nicole was always available to answer any & all questions we had, which were many, from placing my mother in law in a facility to handling all Medicaid issues that arose.
We have now hired Nicole as our own personal attorney. We trust her knowledge & take her advice whether it has to do with our personal life or our businesses. If you want an attorney that will look out for you, Nicole is that person.

Mr. Fabrizio represented me in my custody case and was very respectful and attentive to my concerns. He is an exemplary attorney because of all the categories above, and he answered my questions any time I did not understand something. I have a lot of confidence in this attorney which is why I want him to handle other areas of legal matters in advising my family.

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.
