I recently decided to look into bankruptcy, I started to Google attorneys and came across Lloyd Legal. I had already spoke to a few other attorneys so I had a feel for what the questions would be like. I made an appointment with Aaron Lloyd and he called me back, he asked me a few questions and I had some for him. Speaking with him and reading all the reviews, I knew I was going to go with him. This is such a stressful time, and I keep coming up with new questions, Aaron Lloyd responds so quickly and explains everything. Within 2 days of speaking with him my case has been filed and my meeting is scheduled. I am thankful I decided to work with Lloyd legal.

Attention all truck drivers!!! Everyone knows California law regarding speeding tickets is strict and unforgiving to everyone. Unfortunately, I got a speeding ticket of 19 mph over speed with a speed limit of 55 mph and I had lost hope of settling with the court. When I went to this law firm, they have a great team of lawyers with excellent experience. They made the ticket as if it never happened. I advise all drivers to deal with this great firm. I am really happy to deal with them
Thank you so much 😊

My mother and I, we were in a car accident. We didn't know what to do or who to call for help. We knew it wasn't our fault and we needed representation in the matter. We did the right thing by calling our now lawyer (#1 Jacoby & Meyers). It's the best decision we have made. The who team went beyond to make sure we were taken care of, from text messages, to emails, to calls, every step of the way. We felt rest assured that we weren't alone and that everything was going to be ok. We won the case, thanks to Jacoby & Meyers and team (Ben, Cara Rooney, Victor Garcia, Hasany, Ana Dominguez, and Isabel). We recommend them, don't waste time pick up the phone and call them 🤙

David St.Peter is Best Family Attorney! I don't usually write reviews but I am so grateful to attorney David A. St.Peter for helping me through a very difficult divorce. I switched lawyers last minute before my spousal support hearing. David returned all my calls and e-mails the same day (which my other lawyer didn't) helping me feel comfortable. In court, David was always prepared and quick to the point. He was relentless, always on his game and left nothing to chance. After my ex cried that this was unfair because my attorney was so much more experienced, the Judge had to agree that "attorney David St. Peter was doing a great job" Wow! I hired the right guy because not only did the Judge say he was good, David also helped me win a monthly spousal support I thought was only reachable in my dreams!! My divorce was stressful, but David helped me feel confident, protected and more than a paycheck. God Bless you David! I'm so glad my friends recommended him to me.

I had a horrible custody and child support battle with my ex-wife. Attorney Lindsey truly came to my rescue. I submitted incorrect information that was jeopardizing my chances to even see my children. She was able to fix my errors and helped me receive custody of my children and a lowered child support amount. Not only was she patient and helpful but completely professional. i would definitely recommend her to my co-workers, friends and family.

Omar Serrato is the correct definition of a lawyer that not only fights for you but cares about your situation as much as if he was in that situation himself! I would need a trillion words to explain how grateful and thankful I am to meet this attorney and have him handle my case… For every father out their that is having a hard time getting their son/daughter hire this attorney….he's got about 10+ years of experience if you compare his age to a 50 year old attorney he's probably got an earlier start than those with 20+ years i see Omar’s firm been a firm open for 40+ years and im truly thankful for meeting such a humble, honest, respectful, and very loyal to his clients YOU ARE THE TRUE DEFINITION OF A LAWYER THAT CARES!

To dive right in, Duane is a straight shooter and helped me understand my situation easily. He is confident and I think it shows. I feel more confident after talking with him. He was nice and answered all my questions with great insight to add. I’m glad I spoke with him and I’m sure you will be too. Give Duane a call and you won’t regret it.

I was introduced to this team through a friend at work when they found out I was struggling through my divorce without a lawyer of my own, while my ex had a lawyer. This team graciously took on my case in the middle of my nasty divorce. While it was too late to stop me from making monumental mistakes due to lack of knowledge, they kept me from being led down a path set up to ensure my failure. As this was all happening at a time where I was fighting cancer and losing my job due to COVID-19, their help literally saved me. I was stressed beyond belief and in tears daily. This team of angels took everything off my shoulders. I had no more worries about how to proceed. Even after I thought all was said and done, when problems would arise, they were quick to step in and solve them in a timely and respectful manner. I would not have made it through 2020 as unscathed as I did had it not been for Attorney Booth and Mrs. Carol Wood. I am sure there are other behind the scenes players I never got to meet that make this team run so smoothly and efficiently. Their kindness and compassion are beyond compare. I would call them in absolute break down mode and they would have me calm and collected by the end of the conversation, assured that everything would be okay. They weren’t just concerned with the case, they cared about the well-being of my family and would call to check on us. I could go on and on about the professionalism and work ethic shown by this legal team. You will not be disappointed if you hire this team to represent you!

I have had the privilege of being represented by Wallin & Klarich and was not disappointed. They are professional and allowed me to be more at ease with my situation. They helped with my initial case and an expungement and after working with them I wouldn’t go anywhere else. They’re trustworthy and will work to get the best case scenario.

I hired him a few years ago. There was a lot of hidden assets he told me we would get in discovery . When we went to court he asked me if I minded waiting outside the courtroom because she my ex feared for her life. I thought it was odd but did it. When he came out he said for now I still had to pay 650 spousel support and if I sold the house I had to give her half and nothing would happen for a couple months to sign here. I didn't read what I signed I trusted him. A few days later he withdrew from being my attorney and I found out that was the final papers he had me sign. I got nothing after working fir 30 years

Mr. Montgomery is the best family law attorney in SB county. After a 10 year custody battle he was able to get me full custody of my 3 children. Absolutely amazing after two previous attorneys failed completely. He also cleared out my child support case with absolute precision. I was referred to him by my close friend who he also helped get full custody of his daughter. After being in court over 100 times (no exaggeration) I’ve seen pretty much every attorney in SB county family law. His rate is extremely fair and his ladies who run his office Leslie and Luvia are wonderful! I’ve sent him every person I know who has had issues after they hear my successful story. Give him a call if you’re a father struggling in this unfair court system! Edmund and his staff is A-1.

I wanted full custody and wanted to settle for 50/50 custody towards the end because I was tired of going to court .
I ended up with 45% custody and I still have to pay child support when he promised to write something for me and said more than likely I wasn’t gonna pay anything.
Mr. Montgomery had a chance to go against my ex without a layer and asked for an extension only because I had another case next door . Had we continued that day we would have won the case especially since my ex didn’t have the proper paper work and didn’t have a lawyer .
He did however helped me beat a restraining order that my ex wanted permanently.
Besides that I do not recommend this lawyer .
Sorry Ed it’s been a few years now and I regret asking for your services .

In my Opinion.........Worst Lawyer ever. Shows up late to court, never goes over anything prior to court so she ends up standing there staring at you like it's your fault she's not ready. Rarely calls you back you only hear from her team and they know less then she does. Don't waste your money.

He must have a ton of clients, because he could careless about taking me on a client or assuring me could help me. I wanted consult on a K1 visa and he asked me what I wanted to know and made it clear that I was wasting his time, not even a handshake just cold and rude. No way would I pay someone to treat me like this. If you don't want to offer free consults or take on k1 visas then don't advertise it! and tell your staff not to book such appointments. Total waste of time for me to take off work and drive to his office.

I had a brief question regarding dual citizenship ( American and Filipino). Other lawyers are charging as much as $300.00 just to make an appointment. Counselor Evangelista answered my question definitely and authoritatively. he did not charge me for the visit even when I offered to compensate him somehow for his time. He said first visit is free.
I work in forensics and deal with attornies. I could unequivocally say that Counselor Evangelista is very knowledgeable and very ethical. I will have no hesitancy recommending him to friends or consulting him again

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.
