Sent these guys a very detailed email with all the facts regarding my labor law case. They scheduled a zoom call following a few calls. Spoke with a person (not sure if a real attorney or not) named "Frank Zecolla" for an HOUR over zoom and agreed to send him evidence supporting my case. After sending him all the evidence requested they simply GHOSTED ME! Sent several follow up emails, called and left several voicemails and NOTHING, NO RESPONSE, NO COMMUNICATION, NO COURTESY CALL...
They Simply GHOSTED a possible client. Glad it didn't go beyond that. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL and speaks VOLUMES on how this "firm" practices law.

Cameron is one of the best lawyers. I went to him on two issues i was having. The main one was a lawsuit for a fire i was in and the statute on the case was almost over and i had no idea. He filed what he had to and its been 6 months but this man went to work and got more money than i could have imagined. I trust him with everything. He is honest, caring, and works for you. I have been truly blessed with him in my life and i will never use another person to take care of my needs in this aspect. He is the man to use for any law issues....trust me. He is the best. Thank you Cameron for all that you do.

She is extremely sharp, very experienced, and I can always rely on her for advice in complicated situations. Her team is exceptional and made the entire process much easier than I expected, and always attentive to my needs. Magdalena was worth every penny!

It's hard to find a law firm with as much collective experience as Hoover Krepelka, LLP. And when you’re in the midst of a complex divorce or custody dispute where every decision counts and has a lasting impact, having 250+ years of collective family law experience matters even more. With over a dozen attorneys, fluent in multiple languages, they are well-positioned to help you and your loved ones successfully navigate a divorce, custody and support dispute, or property valuation and division.

I worked with this firm to consult about my mom's partner's previous marriage and to understand the status of her marital property shared with her ex-husband. The attorneys were very knowledgeable and took the time to clearly explain the details of the situation. Nowadays, you never know what firm operates from satellite workspaces, but I was pleased to find that their office was conveniently just down the block. This made it easy for me to stop by whenever needed. Their expertise and accessibility truly made the process much smoother for me.

Craig Darling and Sylvia Gonzalez handled my case with so much empathy and fought hard for me. Sylvia was my cheerleader in the corner, while Craig got me back more time with my sons. I now can travel internationally on vacations and have peace from constant harassing allegations from a hostile coparent.
The biggest win was more time with my children who are the joys of my life.
I could have been ordered to pay $3,000 a month towards my coparent that refuses to maintain steady employment, but Craig fought for my pocketbook as well. He reduced my child support obligation significantly to only $500 a month.
Many wins for your family when you choose this firm. I will always go back to them for any needed modification or violation of order.
If you have a narcissistic coparent - this is the firm for you. They help establish firm boundaries and protect your mental health.

Dear Ginny and Cynthia (Paralegal),
I wanted to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation for the incredible work you've done as my lawyer during what has undoubtedly been a challenging and emotionally draining time in my life – my divorce. You offered me not only your expertise but also your unwavering support and empathy. Your guidance and legal prowess have been nothing short of remarkable. Navigating a messy divorce was never something I thought I would have to face, but having you by my side made all the difference. Your dedication to my case, your attention to detail, and your ability to stay composed in the midst of turmoil were truly impressive. You fought tirelessly for my rights and the best possible outcome, and I couldn't have asked for a better advocate. I wholeheartedly appreciate your unwavering support and the immense effort you put into my case. Thank you

We had such a horrible experience with this Counselor. She is always asks for cash and meets at strange places! I gave her $2000 , she never completed the case, and gets extremely aggressive and angry when I followed up! I then started to worry about this and did some research on her. She was previously a Pole Dancer at a nightclub ! Wow! No wonder she exhibits this weird and strange behavior, I wonder how she handles her other cases. My money went down the drain! Pls take caution before hiring her.

I met Natalie on the hallway of he courthouse at one of my lowest points. I had went from a six figure income, to nothing and my spouse of 15 years was trying to stick it to me. She not only took on my case but got me my fair share. Recently she took my case again as he tried to lie, and get out of paying the Alimony. I can’t say enough about Her and the caring profession that she is. I know it was a Devine blessing, and a gift from God that I ran into that day on the hallway crying? and not knowing what to do. Natalie will get the job done. Boots on the Ground. Thank you so much.

I came into contact with Nathalie through her involvement in Step Forward Foundation, a non-profit legal organization serving low income clients with Domestic Violence (DV) issues. In the 22 years that I lived with DV, and for the additional 3 years my husband continued to perpetrate DV against me after our separation, I searched high and low for an agency to help me but was unable, because the form of DV my husband perpetrated against me involved restraining me, shaking me, throwing things at me, threatening me, spitting on me, withholding assets from me, and other actions that didn't involve hitting or leaving physical marks on me that would warrant assistance from police and courts. Finally, I began secretly making videos of his attacks on me and took one of these videos to the Step Forward Foundation, where my appointment was referred to Nathalie. What a God-send that appointment was! Nathalie took my case right away. She not only represented me in the courts, but she provided the validation and support that I needed to begin to re-learn that what I was suffering really was DV, and unacceptable treatment of me - because after 25 years of calling the police and petitioning the courts and getting no assistance, I had come to believe that "maybe it was just me" or "maybe this is just normal." Nathalie's commitment to my case made me feel important again, and I began to grow stronger in my resolve to finally stand up to him. Nathalie won for me a 5 year DV Restraining Order that protects not only me, but also it protects my son until after his 18th birthday. The terms of the Restraining Order require my ex/his dad to go through significant counseling, drug screening and rehabilitation, etc., before he can resume visitation again, and it requires to visitation be supervised. This is an almost unheard of ruling, as most restraining orders are only granted for 1 year and do not prohibit the relationship between parent and child as was needed to also protect my son. After my DVRO was awarded, Nathalie continued on with me and took me as a client in her private practice to ensure that my divorce (pending in the court system and held up by the manipulation and delay tactics of my ex) would be finalized. Prior to Nathalie, no lawyers would take my divorce case. My gross income was too high to receive pro-bono services from non-profit agencies on matters besides the DVRO, but the marriage nor myself personally had any assets or savings to pay the lawyer's retainers and fees. Nathalie demonstrated commitment to ending DV for me once and for all when she reduced her retainer fee and wrote a fee agreement contract with me that allows me to pay her for her services at whatever (reasonable) monthly payments I can afford. Other lawyers refused to represent me unless I could pay $5,000 - $15,000 up front. Nathalie is allowing me to go into debt with her, which I am so grateful for that I feel like I will be indebted to her for the rest of my life - not in a monetary sense, but in the sense that without her help, I may very well have been stuck in my marriage forever, subject to abuse and torment. Nathalie bills reasonably, and doesn't penny-pick every millisecond you are on the phone with her like other lawyers do. She understands financial constraints of her clients and uses her time wisely to avoid over billing them. My case is scheduled for trail in 30 days, and I am so excited about the new life that lies ahead of me. There are some people in your life who serve such a meaningful purpose in transitioning you from one state of being to another. Nathalie is that for me. I will always hold regard for her in my heart and her success, well being, and blessing will for the rest of my life always be a part of my prayers. I ABSOLUTELY recommend her.

Jason is a good guy but a terrible attorney. He is so unorganized (just look at his office) he blew my trail and didn’t provide the evidence needed for a win despite me giving him everything. He didn’t ask the right questions in court that would have fully defended me. He didn’t regularly bill me monthly, he instead hastily put together a huge bill that was super hard to understand. I wouldn’t recommend him simply because he is unorganized and completely blew my case despite it being very cut and dry.

Jason is trustworthy. He responded to every question I asked over email and returned to my phone calls right away. This makes you feel secure. He advised me to file a restraining order when I explained my divorce case; I really appreciate this. He always cares about you. This protected us. I needed to change my attorney for some reason but he really was the best. I just had to say, thank you for all you did for us, Jason.

I contracted with Mr. Pintar to write my pre-nuptial agreement. I had several specific concerns and requests that I believe were unique to my situation. Mr. Pintar charged me a fixed pre-negotiated price for the pre-nup but he did not force me into a canned pre-written agreement. He took the time to review and address each of my concerns and points and prepare a thorough and complete document for me. His service is great, pricing is fair and reasonable and he is very honest. I moved out of state prior to completing the pre-nup and getting married and Jason even gave me a refund of a generous portion of my fee, even after he and his staff had spent a lot of time on my case. That is unheard of in my opinion!

Dong is good at making easy money. Dong has no time to review the documents and only sent threaten emails to other side. These behaviors only make things worse other than resolve the real issue. From the disputes she made, she can charge you a lot of fees for these useless arguments. This is the secret she made money.
If you want to resolve your issue quickly, stay away from this crazy woman. She is just a person without any ethic.

My divorce was very complicated case. That's why I hired Kathleen Dong to assist me with my divorce process. She is very attentive, experienced and quick to resolve the issues I needed handled all the time. She helped me get through a very difficult time in my life.
If you want to find a high net worth divorce attorney, I always recommend her to anyone. Go with Kathleen. You won't be disappointed.

Back in July, circumstances necessitated my need for a custody lawyer. Having no references, I checked Craigslist and was extremely fortunate to get in touch with Marissa. Over these past several months, she has been more than helpful to me. I have complete confidence, not only in her ability, but in her integrity. She is sincere, straightforward, honest and very easy to work with.

I have known Merrisa as a family attorney for years. I have witnessed her skill in and out of the courtroom. Not only a fearless defender of her clients rights, but someone who makes the client part of her team.
When I received a subpoena to appear at a deposition, my first call was to Merrisa. The prospect of being stuck between two very powerful, very well funded sets of attorneys, in case I had knowledge of both sides, put a bit of fear in me.
Merrisa immediately put me at ease. She took command and managed the demands of the requests that both side were making on my time and knowledge. She sat down with me and explained her role, my role, and the roles of everyone involved in the deposition. This preparation made the event go off smoothly.
Merrisa worked with the defendants counsel, and left me to answer the questions without any worry or anxiety. The 7 hour ordeal would have been far more difficult without the calm, direct, and firm hand that Merrisa used to get me through the day.
Whether you are looking for a Family Practice attorney, legal advise, or counsel that can guide you through the maze that is the law, I can say that Ms. Coleman-Bishop is the attorney you should bring to your side. I witnessed a local attorney stand up for my rights in front of some the best lawyers that the entertainment and internet industry can hire. She did not flinch, back down, or take bait when they tried to knock her off her game. She stayed on task.
I am honored to recommend Merrisa Coleman-Bishop.

I've used Mello & Pickering since 2021 and have never regretted it. They are an excellent firm with class, expertise, and care. I've had the honor of having Jessica Pellerin represent me over the last two years, she is an impeccable attorney. She is incredibly thorough, researched, patient, forward thinking, prepared, empathetic, and always always centers the child's best interest. She'll fight for you while never ever losing sight of the child and has great insight into what a judge is likely to do. She has represented me from issues ranging from a move-away case, school placement, and holiday schedules. As a gay mother who remarried a woman, I was concerned about how homophobia from my ex-husband might play out at our hearing but she handled the topic with so much care and of course, expertise on the law. I would recommend her to anyone, especially those that have complex cases. I would recommend this firm over and over.

Divorces are ugly and expensive but if you have a reliable attorney like Jennifer who knows what she is doing then it makes your journey a bit easier. Her work is so thorough that the opposing party needed multiple lawyers and their representation still seemed chaotic at best. I am grateful that I found Jennifer.

My experience working with Faune and this firm had a negative impact on my case. She doesn't return calls and always told me to email her. Faune ignores calls and emails so how do you work with someone you can never talk to? Trying to set a time to meet with her was impossible because she was never around.
This was such a stressful time and you think she would make time to meet her clients. It made sense on why it took so long for anything to happen in my case because I had to always ask her to do the work. Even when you ask to speak to Steve Dinneen he doesn't respond or get involved. I wouldn't recommend her to anyone unless you never want your case to move forward.

From the day that I met Faune, I felt a certain calmness with my case, as she reassured me that this would not be a problem to resolve. Asking questions and paying close attention to the details, every time I contacted Faune in regards to my case, she was always willing to discuss my concerns and addressed them with the utmost professionalism. I felt satisfied after every conversation that the case was not only moving in a positive direction, but in a timely manner as well. Returning not only my calls, but my emails as well, she was constantly communicating with me, the information I needed. She took control of the case from day one and through the process was always updating me with the progress and the next steps that were involved. She was always patient and very understanding which was important to me. She is a hard worker, intelligent, empathetic, and professional, and for that I would highly recommend her! How she handled the case and that her words were true from day one until the case closed, her integrity is amazing!

AWESOME!!! THOROUGH!!! DEDICATED!!! OPTIMISTIC!!! PROFESSIONAL!!! Faune is nothing, but great across the board. I could not have asked for a better lawyer than Faune to handle my case. She has been with me from the beginning when I first started my child custody case, and despite all the challenges that came along with it, she knew what I wanted. In the end we came out with a victory, and it is because of how thorough she was with the preparation, and her commitment to the case that got us the win. It has truly been a pleasure working with her. I know I can count on her if I ever need legal advice/help in the future. Thank you so much for everything!!!

Jessica has helped me with my custody case for 3 years. In this latest incident with the other parent being vengeful and her lawyer not doing his due diligence she is direct and is thorough and has made this process a much les stressful already with one letter. In a system that caters to the mother she is an awesome person to have on your team.

I came to Jessica Huey looking for a divorce attorney to help with the default package. Unfortunately, I had a really bad experience and I do not recommend anybody seek for her advice. The paperwork was not done on time, it took her almost three times longer than she promised. The biggest issue for me was that she did not look at my case very attentively and did not review the documents I previously filed with the court. As a result, the default package she prepared for me was not entered- I wasted my time and money. You don't want to hire an attorney who just fills in the forms without thinking whether it is the right next step to take. She definitely lacks professionalism and experience.

Craig Darling and Sylvia Gonzalez handled my case with so much empathy and fought hard for me. Sylvia was my cheerleader in the corner, while Craig got me back more time with my sons. I now can travel internationally on vacations and have peace from constant harassing allegations from a hostile coparent.
The biggest win was more time with my children who are the joys of my life.
I could have been ordered to pay $3,000 a month towards my coparent that refuses to maintain steady employment, but Craig fought for my pocketbook as well. He reduced my child support obligation significantly to only $500 a month.
Many wins for your family when you choose this firm. I will always go back to them for any needed modification or violation of order.
If you have a narcissistic coparent - this is the firm for you. They help establish firm boundaries and protect your mental health.

Hired Kevin back in August 2024 for custody trial.
One of his former clients warned me about his incompetence, but in my desperation, I ignored them—and I deeply regret it. I paid for absolutely nothing. The judge literally told him to “shut up and sit down” because he had no idea what he was talking about.
Despite providing him with detailed documentation, extensive history, photos, and multiple evaluation reports outlining exactly what needed to be said and done in court, he showed up that morning looking hungover and completely unprepared. He didn’t even seem to remember what the case was about.
This man’s prime is long gone. He lives in a delusional fantasy of past successes, thinking he still has the same bite he once did. But in reality, he’s nothing more than a paper tiger—all bark, no bite. He’ll promise you the world, assure you he has everything under control, and then completely fall apart in the courtroom, leaving you to fend for yourself.
As for his son Ian Hutcheson, the so-called "Assistant and office manager"—he’s nothing more than a salesman with a rehearsed pitch designed to convince you to hand over your retainer. Once they have your money, you’re on your own. He repeatedly asked me to send the same documents over and over again, even just days before my court appearance. It’s clear he has zero passion for his job—he’s just there to collect an easy paycheck from his dad.
This tiny three-person office is drowning in cases. They are slow to respond, consistently unprepared for hearings, and quick to shift the blame onto their clients for their own failures. If you hire them, expect to be ignored, gaslit, and ultimately let down when it matters most.
Final Verdict: Do. Not. Hire. This. POS. Lawyer.
If you do, document everything via email—but even then, don’t expect it to protect you. Kevin will still find a way to screw you over, and there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it.
Hiring Kevin was a colossal mistake. Save yourself the frustration, money, and regret—find someone else.

Believe the few bad reviews of Kevin elsewhere. I didn't and regrettably paid for nothing - it wasn't until we appeared in court where he traded bro jokes with the judge while opposing counsel took charge that I realized my error. His son who did the paperwork was equally incompetent (repeatedly losing documents) days before the court appearance . Either my case to pay for our kid to go to a coveted private school was hopeless to start or KEVIN had too many cases in court that day to even recall how to represent me, I don't know…best you not hire him to find out.

Kevin is incredibly knowledgable and smart, and he is one of the very few lawyers who can handle high-conflict trial cases well. He is never afraid of litigation and will maximize your chance of winning. He won the restraining order against me in multiday trial. The opposing attorney is highly competitive, and I can see both him and the judge respect Kevin highly for his knowledge of law and litigation skills. He also got what I want for support and custody issues. Yes he is expensive, but he uses my money very efficiently. I highly recommend Kevin for any family cases.

Carl was reccomended through Modest means bar association, and he sounded quite competent upon initial consultation. I brought all the case documents to him and paid the retainer. After that a bad divorce/child custody case case I hieredCarl to help me with went from bad to worse. He lost my court paperwork, stating I never gave it to him. Then he said that the child support court date I requested was not on calendar, and most probably was never filed.....turns out I wasn't crazy, and there was a court appearance I, thanks to Carl missed. As a result, my x is now seeing me for his lawyers fees.
Then Carl dissapeared, and I mean for almost 3 month and right before another court date.....which didn't happen due to start of Covid, but I had to ask my x to find out what is going on, since I thought Carl was sick with Covid and probably dying or dead...he wasn't. After 3 month of texting, calling, and emailing, to no avail, I reached out to Bar association that recommended this stellar professional, to see if he actually passed away, and how I could get my case documents and my retainer fee back. That's when Carl finally decided to answer my call. There is allot more, but all I will say is that other party filed motions, requesting documents I knew nothing about, as I moved, and Carl didn't bother notifying court of my address change, nor me about anything going on with the case. The one and only court appearance was done via phone, because he was in another state, attending family function, and he remained silent, not speaking up for me throughout the whole proceeding. When I asked what is going on, and showed my displeasure with what is going on, he said that he will not be able to proceed with my case....I think it was the best thing Carl has done for me.
I have never encountered such incompetence, lack of professionalism, and outright disregard for the work he charges clients money for.
I now have to pay allot of money to have another lawyer fix the mess Carl made out of my case in a short period of time.
Carl doesn't deserve the one star. If you are considering hiring this "professional " because he is inexpensive compared to others, think again.....you are better off on your own.

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.

- 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.

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.

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.
