I am so happy to share that after 6 years of putting off a divorce, it is finally over with. Uncontested made the entire thing easier than doing your taxes. A few questions you have to fill out and then they take over. As with everything else that is sold online as a service, I originally thought this was fake, a gimmick or just a scam. We'll it definitely isn't. I paid for the premium service (documents, filing, final hearing and court fees), filled out all the documents and I was basically done. I did have a couple questions at start, they contacted me within 48 hours of me requesting help and took care of the worries I had. We did the notary portion within a couple days and we're done. They contacted me and let me know that the process was in the 60 day waiting period before it goes before a judge on June 26th, 2024. The human mind always wanders and I had worries and doubts. August 27th, 2024, I received an email congratulating me that the 60 days were over, no changes were made, and that it was time to put it through to a judge. I was picking up food today, September 4th, 2024, and while I was just browsing youtube, I got a notification of a VIP email. The divorce decree was completed and signed by the judge. I can honestly say that after 4 days shy of a 15 year marriage (the last 6 we've been separated, the last 4 we've lived 3700 miles away from each other), I am happier now than at any point of the marriage. THANK YOU UNCONTESTED.

Where do i start? Amazing Law Firm and let me just say how professional Robert Swensen was with me, told me everything that was going to happened and how it was going to happened. He even went over and Beyond the call of duty, when I called him after hours he picked up and spoke with me, I don’t get that from lawyers, I usually get the answer machine and wait 2-3 business to get a response, but Robert was different he was on my case as soon as he got it in front of him. he always helped me with question and concerns I had. I was very confident and comfortable with Mr. Swensen, and they also have multiple ways to pay, which was very convenient for me. If you need a law firm, THE COOK LAW FIRM IS THE WAY TO GO. Wait no more they are QUICK AND HONEST and will get the job done ✅ Thank You 🙏 so much for helping me with my Divorce Mr. Swensen

I cannot say enough good things about Clepper Harrison & Duffy PLLC. From start to finish, I experienced the upmost professionalism and compassion. I ended every interaction with confidence and certainty. At the end of every call, Chanda and I both had clear expectations on what to do next--I had my tasks, she had hers, and every time we followed up, we were on the same page. She and her team are highly prepared, proficient, prompt, and consistent. I appreciated that the billing information was explained so well that I never felt like I had to wonder how much things were going to cost. I was billed on the 1st and the 15th of every month, and I personally loved that consistency. Although I have never worked with attorneys before, my personal opinion was that their fees were extremely fair and honest. Each bill had a running record of every item they completed, with times, dates, and explanations. I loved their practicality of providing phone calls and zoom calls, rather than meeting in person. My whole divorce was handled over phone calls/zooms and I never had to step foot into a court room. Although everyone's experience is different, I was able to complete an amicable, uncontested divorce that was finalized in just over 60 days. Without the help of Chanda and her team, there is no way I would have been able to do this on my own. I was very pleased with my outcome, which is astounding that I am even writing this sentence, because I am a person who never thought divorce was an option. If you're reading this and feel as though you have gotten to the point where divorce is now your only option, know that you will be fully taken care of by Clepper Harrison & Duffy PLLC.

Thankfully, I have not had much cause to hire a lawyer until a few years ago. That being said, I now have had quite a bit of experience with attorneys and feel equipped to give a candid review of Mr Ireland. If you are in need of a Family Law Attorney, you will likely agree with me that hiring the right person is crucial, when the wellbeing of your loved ones is at stake. TRULY ... LOOK NO FURTHER than Michael Ireland! I believe my case to be quite involved and not your run of the mill scenario and Michael Ireland has handled every aspect of the case with grace and a keen attention to detail! From filing motions to contentious depositions, it is my belief that Michael Ireland will represent you in a way that will leave you impressed and appreciative. He is brilliant and has outshined any lawyer I have seen him work with or go up against. Michael Ireland is a class act! I hope to never need him again - but he is my go-to-attorney! You have a lot of choices in San Antonio - choose wisely! Choose Michael Ireland.

I had the privilege of having Dr. Baez represent my husband on a parole revocation case. I must say his dedication to his clients is unparalleled. From the moment I sought his counsel, it was evident that he was not just another attorney, but a fierce advocate for justice. He leaves no stone unturned in pursuit of the best possible outcome. We achieved a favorable resolution in our case. I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone in need of legal representation. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will fight tirelessly for your rights, look no further than Dr. Baez, he is a champion for justice.

Dr. Baez has been an invaluable gift from God! We connected through my family that know him personally from church. Dr. Baez has provided me with a fatherly-guidance since the first day we met. A true mentor with an extensive understanding of Biblical teachings that always appear customized for you specifically. I have been reminded by Dr. Baez what a true Man of God says and does in daily life once again. To say that this man is a stellar lawyer truly does not do him justice. His approach to each case displays a surgical precision like no other! Dr. Baez will forever be in my family prayers. We are truly grateful for this Warrior of God to be a part of our lives! Thank you, Dr. Baez, for everything you have done for me and my family!

In the midst of a difficult time, he demonstrated professionalism, dedication, and a true commitment to ensuring that my family and I were taken care of. His prompt response to our needs, combined with his clear communication throughout the process, gave us a sense of security and relief during a time of uncertainty.
His expertise and swift action not only helped us navigate our situation but ultimately allowed us to overcome the obstacles we were facing. His efforts truly made a difference in our lives, and for that, I am immensely grateful.
I honestly do not know how to adequately thank him for all that he have done for us. His kindness and diligence have had a profound impact, and we are sincerely appreciative of his unwavering support.
Thank you once again for your outstanding assistance. You have not only helped us out of a challenging situation but have also restored our faith in the power of skilled legal representation.

Kristine is hands down the best attorney I've worked with. Unlike other lawyers I've dealt with, Kristine really cares. She's not just doing a job; she puts her heart into it, and it shows. It's like she's tackling the case as if it were her own problem, paying attention to every little detail and nailing the argument.
What really sets Kristine apart is how she combines her sharp mind with genuine kindness. She's super smart and on top of things, but also really takes the time to understand and accommodate your needs. It’s not every day you come across an attorney who actually takes a special interest in your case like it's something personal to them.
Kristine's attention to detail was exemplary. She meticulously crafted the case, ensuring every aspect was thoroughly considered and eloquently presented. This level of dedication was not just limited to the legal strategy but extended to her interactions with me. Kristine's intelligence and caring nature shone through as she guided me through every step, accommodating my needs and paying special attention to the nuances of my situation.
Her ability to connect on a human level, paired with her professional expertise, made my legal journey less daunting. It’s really rare to find an attorney who combines such personal warmth with professional competence. Kristine’s work not only yielded positive outcomes but also provided a sense of comfort and trust during the process.
If you need someone who's not just all about the law but also about the people, Kristine's your go-to. she stands out as the best, a true gem in the legal profession. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat. She's more than just a lawyer; she's a real person who gets it, and that made all the difference for me.

If you want the absolute best and total dedication to YOU no matter time or day ..here ya go. If you want a truly personal experience and not a number or case number, here ya go... Kristine will make you feel like you gat not only an attorney but a real team member on your side. You will feel like you're on speed dial ANYTIME of day or night. Her dedication to you will be way beyond and above expectation. I was absolutely please and satisfied with my case results with her. No one I would of wanted on my side!

I had the pleasure of working with Russell Amsberry from the Amsberry Law Firm for my recent divorce proceedings, and I cannot speak highly enough of his professionalism and dedication. From the moment I reached out to the firm, I felt like my case was in good hands.
Russell Amsberry demonstrated a level of care and empathy that truly set him apart. Going through a divorce is undoubtedly one of the most challenging experiences one can face, but Russell guided me through every step of the process with patience and understanding. He took the time to listen to my concerns and priorities, and he always made sure I was well-informed about my options.
One of the things I appreciated most about working with Russell was his ability to set realistic expectations. He didn't sugarcoat the situation or make promises he couldn't keep. Instead, he provided honest and straightforward advice, which allowed me to make informed decisions about my case.
Throughout the entire process, Russell Amsberry remained accessible and responsive. He promptly answered my questions and addressed any concerns I had, which helped alleviate much of the stress associated with divorce proceedings.
Thanks to Russell's expertise and guidance, I was able to navigate the complexities of the legal system with confidence. I am incredibly grateful for his support during this difficult time, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and compassionate divorce attorney.

My sister and I engaged Jacqueline in January to represent us in a CPS investigation after my 6 year old niece was placed under a 30-day safety plan while my sister underwent alcohol detox and therapy. This was our first interaction with CPS. We used employer-provided services rather than the onerous services demanded by CPS. CPS threatened numerous times to move my niece into foster care. They also threatened a legal motion to participate in their services. They even claimed that they didn't have to talk to a legal representative. We would never have been able to navigate this process without Jacqueline, who is an expert not only in the law, but in the ways that CPS will try to manipulate and threaten. Jacqueline made the case that CPS services and involvement were not needed beyond the 30 days. My niece returned home after 30 days, and as of 3 months later, CPS has taken no further action. Jacqueline will fight for you and execute a plan with the highest probability of success. She will navigate the maze of CPS that you can’t see. We are completely satisfied and highly recommend Jacqueline.

We hired Jacqueline Kriebel to represent us concerning our grandson after CPS became involved. She was understanding and sympathetic to our situation and had our case underway immediately. We were relieved to be granted sole managing conservatorship. We feel that Jacqueline brought us through a very stressful time in our lives and our grandson is now safe and protected. We’ll certainly be retaining Kriebel Law in the future.

Stacy is the absolute best. She is honest, ethical and smart, She does not just try to settle with other attorneys so she can get on to the next case. She works in your best interest and the best interest of the children. She tells you truth about your case whether it is good or bad. She is down to earth when talking with you and does not try to bleed you dry. It is hard to find an attorney who is looking out for you and your children's best interest. I have worked with a lot of attorneys and Stacy Goodbread is the best.

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.
