I recently enlisted All American Law to assist with my divorce. Ms. James and her team were exceptional throughout the entire process. They were always quick to respond and made sure I understood each step along the way. We achieved a positive outcome, much to my relief. I would highly recommend Ms. James and her team; their professionalism and dedication are truly commendable.

Words can't even express the amount of gratitude I have for all of you. This court case has been so extremely stressful and I would have never gotten this far without you all! I woke up the day after court feeling such a relief and freedom, knowing I was finally heard in court and I feel like I'm finally capable of protecting my son the way I'm supposed to because of your help!
Katrina, thank you so much for the multiple phone calls and emails and calming down my obsessive, projective mind. You always made me feel like I wasn't crazy and my feelings were valid and I knew anytime I spoke with you I'd feel better and you were always so on top of everything.
Ms. James, thank you so much for all of the time and effort you spent doing what you do best. For sharing your confidence with me before court appearances when I was such a mess. For the amazing set of questions you asked me in court to let my whole story really be heard and for giving me a voice in court when I felt like I couldn't speak up for myself enough.
You guys are all so amazing and I'm so grateful to have had you guys on my side for this battle.

I didn’t think I could hire an attorney due to my current circumstances, but All American Law made it happen! Both Attorneys Mr. Jeffries and Ms. James have been absolutely professional, understanding, and passionate throughout the entire process with my case. I know I wouldn’t be as happy with my case and situation if I didn’t hire AAL to help me. They are beyond worth everything you invest and pay for them to represent you 100%.

Christopher Abernathy did an amazing job at handling my complex divorce case. My ex wife was perjuring herself and literally lying to the Judge and without Christopher being well prepared and ready to show the court that she was in fact lying, it could have been a different outcome. Christopher's staff was awesome as well and the whole team exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Christopher Abernathy. Thank you Christopher!!

Our case was not a straight forward one and was one that took a lot of finesse. Compared to previous lawyers we noticed the following:
1) We did not have charges "run up" for no reason as we experienced at other firms.
2) Mr. Abernathy was very accessible and his staff was on top of everything. We did not feel like we had to constantly follow up to make sure things were done on time.
3) Lastly, Mr. Abernathy is very well respected and 1000% knows the law and the best approach to cases.
We literally walked in to trial not particularly optimistic given our past history with my ex, who often got their way from smear campaigns and lying, and the challenge of getting the court to "disrupt status quo". We walked out with basically what we wanted (and most importantly what was best for the children).
Best decision ever to switch to Mr. Abernathy's firm.

Christopher Abernathy is a gift from God. I had the most complex, difficult case that made me want to loose hope. Contacting Chris was the best thing I could have ever done. He has gone the extra mile to ensure me and my family received the best results from the court system. It is heart wrenching enough to have to need a lawyer, however, if you find your self in a situation like I did, having Chris and his team on your team ensures you are in the best hands. He knows the law and knows how to ensure you, your case, and your family members are in the best position possible throughout the entire process. When I lost hope, Chris assured me that we would be just fine. This week, he lead our case to the most amazing settlement. The other people thought they wanted to go to trail however with the skills of Chris and his team, we were able to reach a settlement. Tears of joy, relief, amazement, and just gratitude filled my body. This was again a multiple year case I tried to fight alone, however once Chris became my lawyer, the impossible became possible. Again, I hope you hear the gratitude and know that Mr. Chris Abernathy and his team will go the extra mile for you every step of the way.

Mr. Zitney provided exceptional service as he represented me during my recent divorce proceedings. He provided exceptional representation and he was quick to respond to any questions and concerns I may have had during the process. He is truly concerned about his clients and he worked extremely hard to put me in the best possible financial positions after my case was over. Additionally, his staff provided prompt answers to all my questions and I felt the strong support of his team throughout the entire process - he his very highly recommended.

No doubt divorce is disruptive, emotionally and financially draining. The last thing you need to worry about is if your attorney is honest and looking out for your best interests. Mr Zitney is both honest and skilled. He listened to and understood what was important to me in the settlement. He presented me best and worst case scenarios and he immediately went to work. He represented me with dignity. MT his legal assistant/paralegal doesn't ever sleep! She kept me updated on the status of my case. Its been said a good divorce is when both sides lose. Thanks to Mr Zitney I got the best possible outcome, I got what was most important to me.

I came into contact with Rebecca by accident. I am dealing with a high-conflict child custody case in San Diego County. Very serious events have occurred which I do not want to share publicly that required assistance from Rebecca. Rebecca represents the Mother of a child my ex-wife has allegedly kidnapped. The child has been missing since November and is still missing. There are many different law enforcement agencies involved, as well as three different courts in three counties regarding child abduction. Rebecca has gone above and beyond to research issues related to this case and provide me and her client with guidance as it relates to informing the court of the facts and getting all counties and all law enforcement on the same page. Rebecca is intuitive and very smart. She is honest and exercises integrity when dealing with me and other people. Rebecca can be curt and straight to the point which initially threw me off. I felt her tone was aggressive with me. Then when I realized who she was and what part she plays in these cases; I understood her intensity. She literally cross-examined me when she found me. Yes, she found me! While doing research on her kidnapping case she traced several relatives of the alleged kidnapper. Rebecca has laser focus. I can imagine that is offputting to sensitive people who need hand-holding. Despite her initial aggressive and curt demeanor she has a huge heart and has the children's best interests at the top of her list. Due to her call, her conversation with my attorney, and her efforts to this day, I have full custody of my son after being alienated for over 6 months

I hired Rebecca to represent me in a high-conflict child custody case in Riverside. I was looking for an attorney that would stand up for me, and make all of my evidence known to the Judge. Rebecca filed motion after motion for me until the court finally made a decision in my favor. I am dealing with a severe parental alienation case. Rebecca fought hard so that the court would HEAR what I was trying to say. Communication with her office is very easy. The office’s procedures make it efficient and quick to get questions answered and get updates on my case. All documents are forwarded to me for review. The only issue is that Rebecca is on the pricier side. However, her reputation in the community, her relationships with everyone from the court staff to the janitor, make the court appearance so much less stressful. You really do pay for what you get. My prior attorney charged much less but I ended up paying just as much as Rebecca charges because their office was inefficient, disorganized, and just not up to my standards. It seems like that is the norm for most firms. Not Rebecca’s firm. Those girls are a team and it is evident that they work very well together. Rebecca knows the law cold. She thinks quickly on her feet and does not give up. Highly recommend.

Generally, I do not post personal detailed reviews, but Rebecca and her team deserve to be recognized for their tireless efforts. Just over a couple years ago, I frantically called for a semi-emergent after-hours consult, expecting to hear back from her the next day. Thankfully, Rebecca immediately sprang into action, responding later that day. With a few factual details, she knew exactly what to do and began handling my intense situation. I was scared and unsure of what I was doing but Rebecca and her firm guided me throughout the entire legal process. Rebecca was honest and compassionate but more importantly provided me the tough reality I needed to face. Rebecca and her amazing paralegal, Lisa, have maintained the same honesty, toughness, and compassion people need when they are going through a family law matter. Some things were tough to hear but this firm, there is no BS. Rebecca's focus has never dulled, even when there were legal roadblocks, the covid crisis, and inconvenient telephonic hearings. After the frustration, fear and tears on my end, Rebecca and Lisa helped me see things clearly and together prepared a settlement that finally put my nightmare to an end. I cannot thank Rebecca & Lisa (& Nicole!) enough, for being amazing and attentive to my situation. I strongly recommend hiring Rebecca for any of your family law needs. Her honesty, compassion, toughness, legal acumen, and no BS mentality will put you in a better position to put your family law issues behind you so you can start the next chapter in your life.

Besides getting my divorce, Ms. Main was by far the best decision I could have made when it came to hiring the right person to represent me and my case. I had no idea how emotionally fragile this divorce would make me. However, Ms. Main was a constant and invaluable strength to me.
Thank you, Ms. Main, for all your hard work and not giving up on my case when the other party continued to play foolish games.
You are truly a blessing and I would absolutely recommend you to anyone who has to go through the unfortunate experience of having to deal with a situation that calls for a professional in family law. You and your team are amazing and you DO NOT let down.

I retained Ms. Main about 6 months into my existing case after firing my first attorney. I was terrified and scared and discouraged because of my previous experience with the court system. My previous attorney dropped the ball and Ms. Main came into the picture and had to clean up his mess. From day one, she remembered every detail of my case and I was 100% confident in her court room appearance as well as all of the paper work that her office filed. She always put my son’s best interest ahead of anything else. She is truly ethical and was so professional in the court room even when the judge and opposong council left me with a sour taste in my mouth. She never stooped to their level and always stayed professional and fought for what was right! She is extremely knowledgeable and is “the smartest person in the room” (inside joke). Opposing council was a loud mouth and should actually be a criminal defense attorney, not a family law attorney. It’s actually disgusting how horrible other attorneys can be. HOWEVER, Rebekah is someone you want on your team. Child custody is heart breaking and gut wrenching. It’s expensive (however she is fairly priced and doesn’t charge above and beyond like most). After over two years from my initial hearing, my case finally was resolved and I am so grateful that I can now put the nightmare behind me. Let me add, it was opposing who consistently dragged out our case, not Rebekah. She wanted resolution as much as I did. She is extremely valuable and as far as I’m concerned one of the best attorneys I have ever known. Her staff is also awesome! I felt like they knew me on a personal level, I never felt like a business transaction. I am telling you now, if you are searching for a child custody attorney, do not waste your time looking elsewhere, hire Ms. Main. You won’t regret it. If I could give her 100 stars I would. THANK YOU for your honesty and integrity!

Rebekah was truly professional, ethical and humane in her approach. She truly cared for my children, as she advised me on various aspects of a legal situation.
I got to know a great lawyer without having to go through the heartbreaking process. Life got a little lucky there! And even though I made unconventional decisions, Rebekah made me aware of the pros and cons without vested interest.
I would definitely recommend her.

It is hard to find dependable legal counsel, finding it while living abroad is even harder. I was fortunate to find Attorney John Lueck.
Mr. Lueck, diligent and effectively, took care of my 17-year-old DUI/Warrant case, and handle it swiftly and painless. His help on this matter makes a big difference, not only to me but to my family, as we can now plan to go living to the US again.

After a very long search for a good attorney God placed Matthew into our lives. God is definitely good and Matthew was able to find justice for him and his daughter. This is the beginning of something great and I can assure you if you hire Matthew he will make sure he finds you justice the right way. He listens, hears you out and helps you find a solution. His professionalism comes a long way and it shows in his work ethics. If you’re looking for the right attorney I can assure you Matthew is the one for you and your family.

Matthew Sheasby is nothing short of amazing. I was so scared to get out of my marriage and he not only got me out, he had my back every single step of the way. He has been there every court date I have had, has always thoroughly answered all of my questions (and there were PLENTY in the beginning), and he genuinely cared about my case and my wellbeing. I consulted with numerous attorneys before I retained him and from the moment I met him I knew he would fight for me. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Mr Naime provided amazing legal representation to me during a tumoltuous child support ordeal with the father of my daughter. Not only was he readily available for case questions, he too was compassionate and kind as well as always willing to work with my financial situation. During multiple volatile court proceedings, he remained steadfast, calm and professional; this proved to be a major factor that benefitted me. I am retaining Mr. Naime again for a separate legal matter because my experience with him was terrific. I absolutely recommend Mr. Naime for any family law matter.

Mr. Naime was my 4th and last attorney in a nearly 4 year divorce. Now I know what makes a great family law attorney. Mr. Naime knows and cares about the law and his clients. He relies on his superior intelligence and knowledge of the law to win your case. I believe he was the only attorney I had who was actually honest with me and worked hard on my case. He allowed me to make my own decisions about my case. The other attorneys I used seemed to keep me dark in order to make their job easier. You are completely reliant on your attorney in a divorce and if you question who's side they're actually on repeatedly, something is wrong. I truly felt Mr. Naime had my back, was honest and forthright with me and actually practices the law with the high ethical standards and responsibility the U.S. public expects from a family law attorney.

I just want to say that Attorney Dorado has an extremely kind and professional attitude she was well prepared for my case that ended in our favor! Also paralegal Dempsey has also been extremely professional in every way possible, whether it be a phone call or a last minute stop by the office.

I had to find an Attorney pretty quickly, as we were in a time crunch to respond. I had read the reviews for the Richard K. Isles firm and was introduced to my now Attorney, Cora J. Dorado. She has been nothing but wonderful! There have been several instances when I have needed answers quickly, like within 1-2 hours, due to the other party not cooperating, and Cora has always responded in a timely manner. Her Paralegal, Leigh Collins, has been amazing as well, very professional and personable! They really do put the Clients first and have made it more of a pleasurable experience because of the personal relationship they have established with me. My case is still ongoing, but I wouldn't go to any other attorney than Cora, I feel like I am in the best hands and she is a very knowledgeable attorney, well beyond her years.

I spent much time reading online reviews of criminal defense attorneys in the Inland Empire area. A friend recommended me to Ms.Jacklyn, saying he had yielded very positive results. I was skeptical at first, because I've never really trusted lawyers.
Upon my first and initial consultation with Ms. Jacklyn, I could tell I was in the right hands. She isn't here to just nickel and dime you, she actually cares. I know every review I have read online for other attorneys says they care, but Ms.Jacklyn sincerely does. Truly grateful for her honest and diligent work on my case. I never write reviews, but you deserve one Ms. Jacklyn. THANK YOU!

Attorney Brian Skibby hands down is by far the most trusted ethical attorney I have ever met, and had the privilege to retain. My family was swept up in legal issues with my high schooler that should not have escalated the way they had. We were being pushed through the juvenile legal system to plea when I found Brian through a network of attorneys that referred him with the utmost respects. I hesitate in any legal matter to work with lawyers or attorneys, as many of us in our lifetimes do not have even good experiences. Brian Skibby has changed my perspective on attorneys on all levels. If they were all like Brian I believe we'd all be able to trust the legal system a bit more. Brian explained the legal process in a manner my family was able to comprehend simply, and we had the best outcome we could have expected that effected several families in our community beneficially.

I can’t recommend Daniel Kolacia's law firm enough, and his wonderful assistant. After my DUI charge, I was feeling lost and anxious about what to do next. From the very first meeting, he was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely compassionate, taking the time to explain everything clearly.
I followed his instructions to the letter, and I’m so glad I did. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, I got early termination of my probation and even managed to get my record expunged! He was always there to answer my questions and really supported me throughout this challenging time.
If you’re looking for a lawyer who truly cares about your case and knows how to fight for your case, look no further. I’m incredibly grateful for Daniel Kolacia's hard work and guidance!

Rocky and his team are amazing! I had hired two attorneys prior to be referred to Rocky. Neither of my previous attorney were able to get anything done. It was almost as if I was the attorney and the paralegal and I was just paying them to file. Neither of my previous attorneys wanted to fight for me. This all changed when I hired Rocky. He was able to get what I needed in months versus what my previous attorneys were not able to do in years. Not only is he good at what he does but he listens and is always there when I have a question. He has gone above and beyond! If you need an attorney that will listen and get you result then Rocky is your man.

I am delighted to share my utmost appreciation for the exceptional legal services provided by Rocky Johnson during my divorce case. Rocky's unwavering dedication, expertise, and compassionate approach made an indelible impact on the entire process.
From the moment I engaged Rocky Johnson's services, I knew I was in capable hands. His professionalism, extensive knowledge of family law, and genuine care for his clients shone through every interaction. Rocky's ability to explain complex legal matters in a clear and understandable manner helped me navigate the intricacies of my case with confidence.
While Rocky's legal expertise is undeniable, I believe there is room for improvement in terms of communication. While he promptly addressed my concerns and provided updates when requested, I believe that more proactive and consistent communication would have further enhanced my experience. Clear and regular communication would have helped alleviate any uncertainties and provided additional reassurance during the process.
Nevertheless, I am immensely grateful for Rocky Johnson's dedication and the positive outcome he achieved for me. His compassionate approach and genuine care for my well-being were apparent throughout the process, providing much-needed support during a challenging time.
I highly recommend Johnson & Shinton for anyone seeking exceptional legal representation for divorce cases or family law matters. Their legal expertise, unwavering dedication, and genuine compassion make him an invaluable advocate. With some improvements in communication, they have the potential to deliver an even more exceptional client experience.

From the outset, Mr. Hatcher demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to my case, ensuring that every email and phone call was returned promptly. His dedication was evident as he answered my calls even after hours during emergencies, providing me with the reassurance and guidance I needed during a very stressful time.
Mr. Hatcher’s promptness and precision in handling emergent situations were remarkable. He was always on top of things, ensuring that no detail was overlooked. His staff was equally impressive, displaying a high level of knowledge and professionalism, and always making sure my questions were answered thoroughly.
Before Mr. Hatcher took over my case, I was on the brink of losing custody of my daughter. However, with his expertise and unwavering dedication, he completely turned the situation around. Not only did I retain custody of my daughter, but Mr. Hatcher also ensured that the opposing party had no chance of succeeding. His strategic approach and deep understanding of family law were instrumental in securing a favorable outcome for my family.
Cornell Hatcher is a phenomenal attorney who goes above and beyond for his clients. If you are in need of a family law attorney who is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about your case, I highly recommend Cornell Hatcher.

I can’t recommend Daniel Kolacia's law firm enough, and his wonderful assistant. After my DUI charge, I was feeling lost and anxious about what to do next. From the very first meeting, he was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely compassionate, taking the time to explain everything clearly.
I followed his instructions to the letter, and I’m so glad I did. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, I got early termination of my probation and even managed to get my record expunged! He was always there to answer my questions and really supported me throughout this challenging time.
If you’re looking for a lawyer who truly cares about your case and knows how to fight for your case, look no further. I’m incredibly grateful for Daniel Kolacia's hard work and guidance!

Mr. Garcia and Mrs. Gnekow were exceptional in their representation. They worked on my case which was difficult. Unfortunately, I was dealing with an ex-wife who had no interest in dealing or negotiating in good faith for what would be best for our children. My case has been on-going for nearly five years. Multiple RFO's filed through the years and endless litigation just to get small extensions of my visitation. The biggest issue is I had no legal or physical custody rights to my children. I was in a big deficit. I had a previous attorney that was good, but Mrs. Gnekow had big plans for me. She believed in my case and from day one believed she could help me get more than what I was even asking for. I had pretty much dropped the idea of joint legal custody because most people thought I needed a change of circumstance to make that happen. Not Mrs. Gnekow or Mr. Garcia. They saw their chance to argue that for me along with all my other requests which were very reasonable, (holidays, half of vacation breaks,). When they time came in the last few weeks to go to court; we hardly spent time in the actual courtroom. It took a few weeks to navigate through the stipulation and I knew my ex-wife would not go down without a fight, but in the end Mrs. Gnekow and Mr. Garcia got it done. I am a Christian and God brings people into your life for a reason. God brought me to this firm and their firm delivered beyond my expectations which is how God operates. He always exceeds your expectations as long as you have faith. Thank you again Mrs. Gnekow and Mr. Garcia and the rest of your firm.

Vincent Garcia was a good attorney. The actual attorney I retained never represented me. There was a lack of communication between client and attorney. Paralegal assigned to my case didn't mention certain rewuests I had, such as child support back pay. But over all Vincent Garcia And Heather did a good job arguing.

I cannot imagine having been cared for better by any legal team. I chose Soheila in 2021 for her smarts, her near-30 years of experience as an attorney, and the depth and strength I observed in one who had weathered hardship through her many accomplishments. But it was her compassion that confirmed I'd made the best decision for myself and my child. She was skillful in her arguments and strategy before the judge. I felt so well taken care of. What other attorney would have Zoomed with me even in sickness to help prepare me for a court-appointed meeting? And I came to see how keen she'd been in her advice. I was deeply touched watching Soheila and her paralegal Lynda Walker fight for my son as if he were their own. They treated me with great humanity - day and night from what I experienced at my former attorney's. Lynda is a gem, on her toes, flexible, hard-working, committed to the client, humble, and sweet. She slaved over my case, doing much of the writing, watchful of me on paper and in person, guiding me gently while encouraging me to use my voice. In the end, Soheila and Lynda proved their colors in the thoughtful support they showed when The Other Side and I wanted to move to third-party mediation while my ex-to-be found himself distastefully pressured by his attorney to avoid mediation and keep litigating, a course that clearly by that point was not in our son's best interest. The staff, including the office administrator Lorenzo and Linda C, is caring, respectful, and conscientious. A band of angels.

After a free and very informative consultation I hired Cecilia to respond to a law suit filed against me by the County. She jumped to it and made phone calls on my behalf, appeared in court, twice, and wrote a demand letter for a dismissal of all actions. Even knowing I was in the right, I was impressed with the speed and vigor she jumped on the County Counsel. Case dismissed...

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.
