I was in a jam for a DUI and Carrying concealed firearms, along with being under the influence I also had other charges that I could have been hit with. Not only did Mike work diligently to resolve my case and have those supplemental charges dropped he made life changing suggestions. With mike there’s no bs and he works hard to do whatever he can to resolve your case with the best outcome I was certainly looking at a few years in prison with the charges I had against me but with Mikes help I was able to get probation. I strongly recommend Mike for any legal issues I can certainly rely on him for whatever the needs he’ll go above and beyond.

Unfortunately I've had to use my fair share of lawyers in the past. Mr. Noble was fair, and did everything in his power to come to a conclusion that you are happy with. I thought forsure I was going to trial. But the magic Mr. Noble worked allowed me to continue in my programs I was currently in without violating. I was honestly very surprised he was able to pull those strings. I've had multiple status hearings and forgot to call him and tell him I had court. On 3 separate occasions.... He appeared every time ready to go to war for me if needbe. I've never left a review for a product on Amazon let alone a lawyer in Avvo. I got curious what he was rated on here and saw he had no reviews. I could not let that be considering what he did for me. If you are in need of a fair priced lawyer who actually cares about the case Mr. Noble is the man you need to go see. Seriously can not thank him enough and he is probably tired of me saying it every time I see him hahaha. It's awful most times people leave a review its because it's negative and thats what compelled them to leave a review. Great representation often goes un rewarded. So I'm here to let the world know or portage county bahaha in this case, if you need Great representation in your corner, give Mr. Noble a call.

Ms. Mary Anne Ravis is by far the most compassionate, knowledgeable, and professional attorney I have dealt with ever! She spent a considerable amount of time with my mother and me and explained everything so we could understand all of the documents. She was very swift to accomplish all the tasks at hand and also communicates quickly to emails after the fact. Highly recommend!!

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Deron Boring, and I can’t say enough great things about my experience. He is extremely personable, laid-back, and genuinely cares about his clients. Deron is not only very knowledgeable and highly educated, but he also cuts right to the chase without making things more complicated than they need to be. Plus, his services are refreshingly affordable. If you’re looking for a dedicated attorney who gets results in a straightforward manner, I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Deron Boring.

Mr. Weisenberger and O'Connell did a splendid job in my dui defense. Their office was understanding and able to work with me financially as well. They will get you the best possible resolution. There's a reason their team is rated so highly on Trulia, Justia, and Avvo. It's because their experience ranks them among the best. Thanks again!

My husband has known Jim since he was a junior fire-fighter in Charlestown Ohio .
Mark Fankhauser was my attorney from the day he passed his bar exam .
Jim stepped into Mark's position when Mark became a judge .
They are both incredible human beings .
I understand that being an attorney is an incredibly demanding , crazy-busy position.
However , calling your decades-long attorneys office should NOT begin with speaking to the rudest , mouthiest 16 year old-sounding chick !!!! I am hands-down sure that Jill Fankhauser hires the help .
If you want the best , call Jim .
If you don't care about the integrity of your attorney , contact Jill .
But either way , be prepared to wait for days .
Mark Fankhauser NEVER ONCE made me wait . Good or bad news , Mark had my back immediately.

Saul Goodman in the flesh!!! I'm a CDL holder and recently got pulled over, and if found guilty of, it'll been like a death sentence in the industry. I called and spoke to a couple of attorneys before I found Mr. Lombardi and none of them possessed what he exuded, which is confidence!! It was a done deal after that. I'm well beyond satisfied with the resolution of my case, Mr. Lombardi is the man!!!

Was not able to get answers to simple questions about my case because it was impossible to get in touch with Mr. Jennings. Had to beg repeatedly for a response to emails, or phone messages, then was billed for the unanswered attempts to get in contact with the lawyer who was supposed to be representing me. I had 2 court appearances for my case in which Mr. Jennings failed to appear and was a no show. One without any notice, and one I was informed the morning of after several attempts in the days prior to get in touch with him. Was over an hour late to a scheduled appointment set up well in advance. Overall made a stressful situation worse by not being available to answer questions, or be available. Left feeling I was on my own other than paperwork that I needed filed. Not very client oriented, compassionate or understanding. Very unprofessional and very bad in responsiveness and communication.

He did well. His rates and methods of billing are very fair. He's a seasoned veteran at what he does. I have no complaints. If someone cannot hear you.... You must speak up, by doing this he heard every word I ever uttered to him as well as read every word I iterated as he prefers to communicate via email and does not charge for this (at least in my experience).

First of all, this person was hired to help me with visitation. Although he talks a good game in the office with you, it is obvious he resorts to lip reading because he is hard of hearing. You could be explaining a situation while he is looking down and he will not hear a word you are saying. Then he will look up, and ask you about something you just finished explaining. His performance in the courtroom is fair to poor in objections (he cannot hear). As a result he cannot and does not speak well as a negotiator, or in your defense. He even yelled at my friend who was trying to get clarity on an issue that was unclear bolting "Look!! I don't have time for this, the judge is mad at me!!" What?? I DO NOT recommend this person. Hire someone else.

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.
