I cannot recommend Lauren Cain highly enough for anyone navigating the difficult terrain of divorce and custody battles. She has been my trusted attorney through my divorce and custody cases. Her dedication, expertise, and compassion have been nothing short of extraordinary.
Lauren’s professionalism in the courtroom is remarkable. She is poised, articulate, and incredibly well-prepared, with a depth of family law knowledge that inspires confidence. Her ability to present my case with clarity and precision was instrumental in achieving a favorable custody arrangement that ensures my children’s well-being.
Thanks to Lauren Cain, I was able to move forward with peace of mind, knowing my children’s future was secure.

I knew I would have an extremely difficult divorce. From day one Lauren told me she would handle my case with dignity and get me divorced as quickly as possible and she did. She was alway communicative with me and fought for my best interests. I have seen other attorney try to keep the case going toincrease costs and Lauren never did so. She was always quick to get back to me and to try to get the dates as soon as possible. She was very well prepared and fought to make sure that I got everything that I deserved. She never tried to make things contentious with opposing counsel or my ex, she never called unnecessary witnesses and would counsel me as to why or why not we should file motions etc. I am extremely happy with how she handled my case, the cost and more importantly the decision. I highly recommend Lauren Cain to anyone!

I chose the Brad Thomas team for my Ssdi. I am impressed by the team. The process of applying can be daunting if doing this by yourself. I strongly recommend having representation during this process and Brads team is the way to go. The team is easy to reach out to for any questions that arise during the entire process. Thank you to the whole team.

Princy has been my wife and my immigration attorney for close to 15 years now. Throughout this time, she has helped us navigate with 100% success all the various immigration statuses that we have traversed during different administrations - from F1 to H1B to H4-EAD to GC EAD, so on and so forth. She does it all with aplomb, 100% professionally, while remaining personable, calm and accessible at all times. She has been a pillar of strength for my family and has helped us build upon our American Dream.

I have worked with John Williams and his firm for over a decade. I’ve worked with many lawyers (both in personal life and in business) and must say that John is a breath of fresh air.
He’s extremely knowledgeable, especially in family planning, will creation and over-arching estate / financial planning. He gives excellent advice to simplify
ones estate documents (vs others who tend to complicate to increase billable hours).
My wife and I trust him implicitly, and for this reason, have continued to expand services with him over the last dozen years or so. In his respective field, John is a lifelong trusted advisor who we have referred friends and family to.
We highly recommend John Williams and his firm with zero hesitation.

Finding a Attorney is easy but finding a great one is rare. Mr. Barbknecht was responsive to my legal needs and helped me navigate the legal processes quickly and with greater understanding. His knowledge of the law is a great comfort to all he represents. I have and will continue to send my friends and family to Mr. Barbknecht office for any of their legal needs.

I called in for help of LLC formation, all I can tell is he does not want to give out information and COLD. When I asked if certain agreements will be included in the cost, he said "I believe so". He is either doesn't have enough knowledge about this subject, or he doesn't want to take me seriously, that builds no trust between his firm and me. When I say thank you bye-bye, he just hang up loudly. SOOOO RUDE!

This law firm is excellent. They (Mrs. Berbarie and her assistant) assisted me with my divorce after 20 years. She is extremely knowledgeable of the law and will do everthing by legal ways to make a divorce proceedings as smooth as possible. Granted, this is one of the least enjoybale legal things any person can go through, but they were able to do this for me, in such a fashion, that was very pain free. I highly recommend Mrs. Berbarie for her assitance with my divorce and most of all, for her knowledge and compassion in dealing with a very difficult situation. I am forever grateful to her.

We recently moved to Texas and needed to find a law firm to amend our trust and wills. My husband and I did extensive research to find the perfect law firm when we found Weeks Law Firm in Plano. We were spot-on in our choice. Our attorney, Jennifer Finch, is a perfect fit. She walked us through everything involving wills and special needs trusts with regards to Texas laws (which to "laypeople" can be daunting).
Her professionalism and demeanor, I can not praise enough. We feel 100% covered. My husband and I highly recommend Jennifer Finch and Weeks Law Firm.

We were faced with an unthinkable set of circumstances that turned our life upside down. Our son who has special needs was unfairly arrested facing multiple charges. The police arrested our son against our will in our own home for domestic violence. They didn't care that he suffered from mental illness including severe Tourette's syndrome.
I explained to the police about his mental illness and all they cared about was making an arrest. We explained to the police that our son had certain illnesses beyond his control and we did not want him unfairly arrested. It was about 2.00am and he was arrested, taken out of our own home and off to jail he went.
I called family and friends for advice and help. We called several attorneys in the middle of the night but in our gut we were just not comfortable. We Googled and came across the Wilder Law Firm. After reading countless Google reviews we decided to call them. We met with Doug, Morgan, and Ronnie. They listened to us for what felt like hours. I watched them intently and they genuinely cared and listened. They didn't tell us what we wanted to hear; they told us the truth. They felt the police were wrong and they would fight until this was resolved.
We knew right away that we were going to use them. Well after six months we received a call from Morgan that ALL charges were dropped. Doug, you and your team are amazing!! We as a family we have to give a special personal thank you to Morgan. Without her incredible guidance, hours spent, and knowledge of the law there is no way other than this review could we thank you enough!!!
Simply put; the best Criminal Defense Lawyers in Dallas!
Thank you,
Marina & Blake

I greatly appreciate Valerie and her team as they supported me through my case. I was rear ended and referred to them by one of their clients. Just the level of diligence and care that was spoken about them, made it an easy choice for me to trust my case in their hands. They made sure to communicate with me regarding the status of my case and were diligent with getting all the information needed. I felt very protected working with them as they handled everything professionally and hastily. I would highly recommend this attorney as she is very knowledgeable with her 25+ years of experience and takes great care with her cases.

Todd is the absolute best, I consulted with another attorney prior to hiring Todd, and Todd's keen attention to detail is what prompted me to hire Todd on the spot. I was accused of something that would have drastically altered my life trajectory. Todd was able to get the case dismissed, allowing me to continue on my path. Highly recommend Todd to anyone seeking a highly skilled, trained, and effective attorney!

If you find yourself in a bind, contact Todd immediately to represent you. He was able to take my case from start to finish and kept me informed every part of the process. I was found not guilty for my DWI and couldn’t be happier with the result. This case may have gone differently if Todd wasn’t my attorney. His team is also phenomenal to work with. He is worth every penny and also takes a genuine interest in your life.

She represented me in a CPS case in which I felt was unnecessary as I'm already doing very similar services for probation and a family member had made repeated reports. Everytime an investigation was closed they would call again and cps wld come back to do another investigation. She got my case dismissed on the first hearing. I was very surprised by her grace in the court RM, even tho I was skeptical at first. She really surprised the hell outta me. I'm so pleased with her work and I'm glad she was on my side lol

Family-related legal issues are often an emotional rollercoaster. Shanin is personable, understanding, and patient with her clients. She explains the processes. When seeking help in family-related issues you may be emotionally vulnerable. You can trust Shanin to guide you with expertise. She will keep you focused because she tries to be cost-conscious. Shanin is experienced and knowledgeable and will advocate for you. Her fees are reasonable. I can tell you from my own experiences that some attorneys I have encountered do not demonstrate any genuine desire to fight for their clients as they should, or even as thoroughly as they should. Shanin Turner is not one of those types of attorneys. She responds to me in a timely manner, and she explains things to me in easy-to-understand terms. I trust Shanin Turner to represent my best interests in all family-related legal actions and I highly recommend her.

James has a unique way of quietly and confidently crafting a story that incorporates the law and is interwoven in the specifics of the case that leave opposing counsel clueless of what direction he is taking. He is brilliant at strategizing and understanding the unique nature of each individual case and made sure he addressed every issue of my case in a strategic and methodical manner. I have never experienced another attorney so skilled at managing case details so effectively. PLUS, he did not charge me for my initial consultation.

Y’all I cannot speak highly enough of Sharon Easley and her team. We weren’t expecting this to go to the level it did. With my ex showing up pretty much last minute ( thought it wouldn’t be contested), Sharon worked diligently to pull out all the stops and work hard to protect my daughter. She took the other side off guard, having Information available that took this case to another level. She OWNED the courtroom and put the other side to shame. This woman has been changing lives for 25 years and I can see why. This might sound minimal. A simple name change. It was anything but. The complexity with a minor requesting a chance is not an easy feat. She went against the grain and spoke to my child who wanted to testify. This apparently is not common / allowed with these arguments. She had faith in my child and explained to the judge why she felt Kay would be able to articulate herself and the more than generous judge allowed for it. Again- not something typical at all. With Sharon’s confidence, intelligence and experience, she left the other side grasping at straws and visibly losing their composure. It was comparable to a cheetah taking down a baby gazelle. If you’re looking for someone willing to take unconventional chances to make changes in the standard family law outcome- call Sharon. She’s a beast and she wins. She’s willing to do what others won’t, to achieve what others don’t. I’m grateful for her, and she’s been a crucial part in teaching- and allowing my child to speak up against those who wrong her and giving her a rare opportunity to prove one should always act against what’s wrong. Allowing her to prevail in the end. We made changes today and it’s because she had faith in a Childs voice and took the leap of faith needed to offer my child a brighter future. Thank you Sharon. We will never be able to express just how much you’ve impacted our lives.

I've dealt with lawyers who really couldn't care less about supporting their clients and Sharon Easley is not one of them. You may not speak with her everyday but you can trust she is on your case. These things take time. Sharon is extremely knowledgeable in her field and will represent you fairly. Honesty is the best policy. If a client isn't upfront and is hiding stuff, you can bet they won't get a fair deal. I've hired Sharon to represent me and have every confidence that she will be the reason we walk away from our situation victorious. She's easy to speak with and very understanding. Sharon has given me the confidence to believe everything will be alright and I can relax.

As a small business owner that sells to retail outlets, I have had several issues that required consultation and representation with her to include divorce cases from members of my family or friends. I recommend Sharon for any case in which she feels she is qualified. Most of the judges in this area know that when Sharon takes a case, especially where children are involved that she will not move forward unless it is in the best interest of the child. Therefore going into the courtroom that awareness is there. I have several friends that are either present or retired judges and to a person they respect Sharon and will be the first to admit that if a negative post appears regarding her it is probably from a client or lawyer that was at the opposing table in the courtroom. Her fees are very reasonable and results oriented.

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.

- 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.

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.

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.
