We met Julia in 2017, and she has been helping us since our F1 student visa days all the way to obtaining our green card. Throughout the process, we faced many challenges, but Julia helped us overcome them one by one. She is incredibly responsible and diligent, always reminding us to submit the necessary documents promptly to ensure everything goes smoothly. We are truly grateful for her assistance, which has allowed us to stay in the U.S. without worrying about our immigration status.
We have also referred many friends to her, and they have all successfully achieved their immigration goals. Julia is not only a reliable attorney but also a vital partner in our journey. If we need legal assistance in the future, we will definitely turn to her again.

Agree with those individual who wrote 5 stars review here that immigration Attorney Lu is the most responsive and responds your questions promptly whenever she is available. She follows up the case and helps you to pinpoint what is the most important documents prepared and what areas you need to pay extremely attention during the immigration application process. She will do whatever she can to make your application process as smooth as possible. High quality service and highly recommend for anyone who needs immigration service.

Highly recommend Julia Lu to be the first to call for anyone looking for an immigration lawyer. We contacted Julia for family-based immigration, and our experience could not have been better (on top of, of course, having a successful case). Julia was tech savvy, well-organized, attentive and forthright. Her pricing is very transparent, her intake/material collection was a breeze, and she was able to frequently answer our questions as need arises. We could not have had a better experience anywhere else! 她真是本地最好的移民律师了

Stadlin Law Firm group fought tiressly for my domestic violence case. It was an emotionally exhausting case with too many complexities involved but their strategic thinking and bold advocacy helped me achieve a favorable outcome. Atty. Dmitry was courteous and prompt in their responses, which made the whole stressful process much more bearable. I am profoundly grateful for his service.

2018, and happiness. When my accident left me hopeless and depressed, Glenda De Guzman told me that life wasn't over for me and that she would make sure i received exactly what I would need to live comfortably. Other attorneys told me there was not any money in my case and wouldn't take it. Boy, were they wrong. Glenda and the Dunnion Law Firm have given me a new outlook on 2018 and the years to come, years filled with happiness and hope, and for this I am very thankful. Thank you.

Mr. LaPorte not only got my husband the SSDI benefit he deserved, he told us to pursuit the LTD claim we had all but abandoned. He referred us to appropriate counsel and we won. Although we never met any of them in person, their customer service is terrific and their attitudes friendly. Highly recommend!

Vijay has been a fantastic lawyer and provided legal advice that was always on point. Every time he predicted a certain outcome that is exactly what would happen. Not only is he (and his team) super responsive, with in-depth knowledge of the process and the law, they are also good human beings who recognize the human element and treat everyone (including the opposition) with dignity and respect. They established a level of trust that made me feel like I had my family by my side.

Chris to the rescue.
40K in fees to a firm that was supposed to be "The Best in Northern California" with no results led us to him.
Chris is a pit bull. He doesn't let up until he gets what is deserved. He knows procedure. He gets the job done.
Chris is VERY aware of costs and strives for the most cost effective way to get the best result.
His office staff is supportive, knowledgeable and super responsive.
Without Chris we'd still be trying to dig out from under a bogus TRO with a company that does nothing but BILL.
I would not think twice about hiring Chris and his staff again in the future.
Thanks all!

My divorce lawsuit lasted for six years. In the fifth year, I met Christopher Hirz. During the year of working with him, we went through several court appearances and tedious matters of various sizes. He handled everything very well. He is very experienced in family law. He has a wealth of experience in court appearances, and he is very smart at fighting for his clients on the hearing. And he has a profound knowledge of law. I strongly recommend this lawyer to everyone. With his help, your case will become smoother. Now I often think that if I hired him as my lawyer earlier, maybe my case in the first five years would go smoother and faster.

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.

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.

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. -

An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
