I walked into my consultation, a confused and bewildered soon to be divorced man. I walked out with a good solid plan of action. The primary concerns of mine were, child custody and future financial stability. A popular saying is "divorce is ugly", and I'm sure it can be. Erin kept it from being ugly, every time something would arise that took my focus off of my main goals. She would calmly refocus me on my original goals with solid legal advice. She was instrumental, in keeping the ugly side of divorce from rearing its ugly head. In the end my goals were achieved. I learned that during this major life altering event, that sometimes the best fight, is to not get involved in one. Thanks for a job well done from myself and my family. Highly recommend.

Robin Lalley represented me in my divorce 3 years ago and I would not recommend her at all. For the most part (without her explaining how she does things), I worked with her junior attorney until all the hard work was done and then Robin jumped in. Robin was dismissive of all of my ideas and questions - even regarding significant, life-altering topics. Robin failed to educate me on major legal issues (thank God I educated myself or would have never known key aspects of my case) and she actually told me incorrect information on more than one occasion. Lastly, Robin did not want to do anything that would cause her to put forth even the least amount of effort. She acted like she was doing me a favor by meeting with me. And she was judgmental and condescending to boot. Go somewhere else. She is not a good lawyer or advocate and she has a defeatist attitude that is useless and the last thing anybody needs.

Working with Joe Neal was my first time ever working with a lawyer regarding an accident. I didn’t know what to expect or how to go about the process. I needed someone I could trust and make things super easy for me as I experienced a tough time. He is very kind and knowledgeable. He doesn’t under or over communicate. He communicates as he receives updates or other information I needed to know. He was also very patient and thorough throughout the entire process. The amount of stress I experienced prior to meeting him was lessened by the trust that was formed. I valued his advice and support throughout my case. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for resolution after an accident. Prayerfully, I never have to work with him again under those circumstances. But, I’d choose him again if ever needed. Thank you again Joe! For everything.

“Life is short. Get a divorce.” So says the billboard for this firm off the highway. This seems an unwise perspective to take on a procedure that tears so many lives apart. I have seen the disclaimer that they give, claiming that they do not advocate for divorce, but the firm has not denied ownership of the billboard to my knowledge, and thus the claim is simply untrue.

I called Seretta for my daughter before paying the retainer. I wanted to know if she was familiar with dealing with a Narcisisst. She assured she was well aware of the personality defect. My daughter needed modifications to the original Court Order due to many many violations of the Oder by the Defendant. Absolutely nothing was done but another Court Order stating everything in the original order must be abided by, which was basically no change. We were charged a healthy retainer and after the Court Order, got another bill for more charges. I would have reported her to the bar for charging so much for doing little to nothing, but she has not enforced the additional bill. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. I had allot of faith in her. I believe if you know anything about a Narcisisst, there is absolutely nothing that comes out if their mouths that is the truth, they are the world's best at manipulation and they will falsly build themselves up to make the other person look bad. It appears he did a goid job if thus yo his attorney and that attorney carried the Narcisisst traits over to Syretta.

I was charged with a DUI. Normally, I would have just used any attorney but unfortunately due to my employment any type of blemish on my driving record would have meant immediate termination. I did my research and consulted with three attorneys in the area that specialized in this area of law. I really did not want just any lawyer representing me. I did find that many lawyers were willing to take the case but really did not do a lot of DUI cases. I was quite apprehensive about being in a situation with an attorney who normally does not do a lot of DUI work. After consulting with Steve I found him to be candid and straightforward. He early on told me the positive points and negative points in my case. A close friend of mine had referred me to his office. I decided to retain him upon consultation. Steve and his office staff definitely went to "bat" for me and my case. In the end, I attained a dismissal due to various circumstances surrounding my case. I have never been in a situation like this before in my whole life. I felt much more confident knowing I had Steve and his office by my side. While I do not intend to have any more problems in the future I would always be a client if the need arises. When it is important and a lot is at stake, I would highly recommend anyone to use him as their lawyer.

I am writing this review as a warning to others so they will not have to go through what I went through with Jim Tucker and his firm. Divorce is already hard enough and drawn out, if you hire Mr. Tucker it will only bring you more stress and a guarantee that it will be drawn out for far longer then it needs to be. I hired Jim in July of 2016. He took on my case and assured me it would be an "easy case". After he took my money I didn't hear back from Jim for over 3 months. After countless emails and phone calls I reported the money spent to my credit card agency to try and get a refund. After getting this notification he apologized and seem interested in taking on my case again with a significant discount. Finally over a year later we still haven't even made it to mediation. Separation paperwork wasn't filed till end of October and my spouse didn't get served until January of 2016. I still to date have never seen my spouses response to the separation claim. 6 MONTHS after it was filed with the courts!!! It was like pulling teeth to get a response. The guy didn't seem to have a care in the world about my urgency and it seemed my case was the least important to him. I had to fire him and hire another attorney because it got to the point where I couldn't take it anymore. He was never prepared for meetings. Lost emails and paper work I had sent in countless times. Would NEVER respond to my emails or phone calls in a timely manor. Literally months would go by and I would maybe get an email from his paralegal that didn't even address all the questions I had. The divorce has gotten no where and it has been a year and a half sense I moved out and began living separately. Do yourself a favor and hire another Attorney. Lindsey Dasher is great and it has been night and day working with her compared to Jim Tucker.

Mr. Tucker and his associate where outstanding with the help they gave me securing my granddaughter and bringing her back home. I live in NC and my granddaughter was taken to SC by her mother at a supervised visitation. Mr. Tucker was very knowledgeable on the state to state laws and within a day we where able to find my granddaughter and bring her back home. The care they put into this was unbelievable. They made me truly feel that they cared as if this was their own family member. Going through a circumstance like this is no fun but Mr. Tucker took a lot of the worry away. Highly recommend him and the law firm.

She hasn't even been able to answer a complaint for divorce. Let alone her family matters are in the way of her job and now suspended? I've been trying to get divorced for 2 years and her nor her firm have been able to respond with an answer. Unprofessional to say the least.

First meeting for divorce she made me wait 30 minutes then fell asleep several times during consultation that I paid 350 for. She admitted it was due to personal issue with son’s school. No respect for me or my situation. I was left by my husband of 32 years and her response was to tighten the belt. I would love to see her tighten her belt. I switched lawyers after having to borrow more money. She lives up to all the bad adages about lawyers.

He and his very unprofessional assistant were awful. The office was dark and dank and the entire place unorganized. He seemed disinterested in my case altogether. I don’t know if he is still practicing, but my best advice is find anyone else if you want quality representation!

This lawyer went above and beyond to help me. I was charged with breach of trust and was guilty as charged. Mr. Sample worked out a deal to clear my record. I would never be able to get another job if not for his help. I see some bad reviews here, but I find it hard to believe they are real. I guess anybody can post a bunch of vindictive BS here with no consequences. Maybe the posts are from people that were on the other side of Mr. Sample and lost their cases.

I had a very enjoyable experience with this attorney and his firm. I used his firm for a divorce/custody action. He and his paralegal walked with me hand in hand to keep me calm and informed of what all was going on and how to handle all situations.

Worst attorney I've ever been around in my entire life. Totally unprofessional - his office is an absolute mess, unprofessional in every way. Literally papers and folders scattered all over the floor that it's not a wonder that he could never remember any of our case details when we would speak with him. I felt like he couldn't care any less about us. He returns phone calls with emails and letters (who mails letters these days for important, time sensitive information? - LOL). No one ever answers the office phone during business hours. Most importantly, he gave us completely false and inaccurate advice that cost us thousands and thousands of dollars. This is a file, pay and move on type of bankruptcy attorney. These guys are fine if you don't have anything special going on. But if you need ANY other type of assistance other than run-of-the-mill chapter 7/13 filing, before, during, or after your case, then do NOT use this attorney. He seemed completely disinterested as soon as he was paid - my opinion. Seriously, if any of the above sounds like something you want to trust your financial future with, then perhaps Mr. Matthews is your guy. Otherwise steer very, very clear. In summary, he fit every imaginable terrible stereotype of every bankruptcy attorney, ever.

I hired Montrio Belton for my personal injury case. He never returned my phone calls or emails, never contacted me with updates, and seemed generally disinterested in my claim. When he does speak with you he is loud, rude, unprofessional, and forgets important details of your case. If you do have the misfortune to hire this attorney, speak to his assistant because she typically will tell you what is going on with your case and she is always friendly and knowledgeable.

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You

A family law lawyer provides legal services related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. Family lawyers help clients navigate emotionally charged legal issues, providing guidance and representation in disputes that affect spouses, children, and parents. Whether you're going through a divorce, seeking custody of your children, or drafting a prenuptial agreement, a family law lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your interests are represented.

Family law attorneys often handle sensitive matters and offer objective legal advice, helping clients reach fair outcomes either through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.

When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?

Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:

  • Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
  • Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.
  • Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.
  • Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: A lawyer can help draft or review agreements that protect your assets in case of divorce.
  • Adoption: Family law lawyers guide you through the legal process of adoption, ensuring that all requirements are met.
  • Domestic violence or restraining orders: If you're a victim of domestic violence or being falsely accused, a lawyer can help you obtain or challenge protective orders.
  • Paternity cases: If there are questions about the paternity of a child, a lawyer can help establish or dispute legal fatherhood.

Hiring a lawyer early can prevent issues from escalating, and they can offer you the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome in emotionally charged situations.

What Does a Family Law Lawyer Do?

A family law lawyer provides a wide range of services depending on your specific legal needs. Their responsibilities may include:

  • Advising on legal rights and options: Helping you understand your legal rights regarding divorce, child custody, support, and other family law issues.
  • Filing legal documents: Drafting and filing petitions, motions, and agreements with the court, such as divorce papers, custody agreements, or support orders.
  • Representing clients in court: Arguing your case in front of a judge if a settlement can’t be reached through negotiation or mediation.
  • Mediation and negotiation: Assisting with alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, to reach agreements on issues like custody, property division, and support without going to trial.
  • Enforcing court orders: Helping you enforce court orders related to child support, alimony, or custody if the other party fails to comply.
  • Drafting prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: Creating agreements that protect your assets in the event of a divorce.
  • Handling adoption proceedings: Ensuring that the legal process of adoption is followed, from filing paperwork to finalizing the adoption in court.

How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?

Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:

  • Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
  • Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
  • Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.

The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.

How Much Does a Family Law Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a family law lawyer varies based on factors such as the lawyer's experience, the location, and the complexity of your case. Here are some general cost guidelines:

  • Hourly rates: Family law lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
  • Flat fees: For simpler cases, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
  • Retainers: For more complex matters, such as contested divorces or custody battles, lawyers may charge a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 or more. The lawyer will bill against the retainer for the work they do on your case.
  • Additional costs: You may also be responsible for additional costs, such as filing fees, mediation fees, or expert witness fees.

Always ask for a clear breakdown of the lawyer’s fees and any additional expenses during your consultation.

Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer

Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:

  1. What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption.
  2. How will you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved.
  3. What are the possible outcomes of my case?
    An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case.
  4. What is your approach to resolving disputes?
    Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals.
  5. How long do you expect my case to take?
    While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases.
  6. Who will be handling my case?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.

How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:

  • Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
  • Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
  • Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
  • Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
  • List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
  • Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
  • Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.

Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
