When I connected with Ashley, my case felt hopeless. Ashley thought outside the box and worked her butt off and turned my case around. Because of her, my daughter is now safe and I will be forever grateful. Don’t hesitate in hiring Ashley. There is no one that will work harder. She’s honest and understands the obstacle in family law.

This was my first time dealing with a injury lawsuit but Davis Law Group was quick to explain everything to me, was very respectful and caring when first interviewing me about my case. And when it was time for the next step they were great on communicating what was going on, what was needed and what I could expect. They never made false promises and despite a tough case they got me through it. Thank you!

My brother was forced into a guardianship by these people. The Guardian Ad Litum completely ignored the revised laws of 2020 that state Guardianship is to be the least restrictive measures with individual preferance as the most important focus. The Guardian Ad Litum instead marked every box to strip my brother of all his civil liberties taking extreme measures to ensure my brother would never be able to live independantly again...my brother did not deserve the Guardian Ad Litums attack upon all his civil liberties thaf reduced him to a dog basically. Shr alsi did nothing to protect him she reduced him to a vegetable with a stroke of a pen...she probably is a volunteer for the court who has no formal education about guardianship and real intent. But here lies the true problem the attorney with FoxBallard even told my family it was futile nothing could be done to stop this nightmare ...this firm is nothing more than a parasitic nusiance of greed that benefits by inflicting suffering on vulerable adults who the legal system should protect not exploit!

More than professionals employed here, family is how I was treated with care dignity and diligence by this firm, I heard horror stories about litigation or mitigation might be the word I’m not sure, but my claim was settled in less than a year, and could’ve went on much longer, without their entire team this wouldn’t have been possible, personal standing out gratitude to counselor Humza.

Hemmat Law Group dove into an existing Probate and helped bring it to completion with my total satisfaction. I worked specifically with Katie Olson and can’t say enough about how well she listened and understood my unique issues that were pending. Katie provided clear communication to myself, the team, and opposing counsel. John Socha also provided quick and gentle responses to my initial call and all inquiries thereafter. Steve Hemmat is simply a terrific Attorney and has surrounded himself with a more than qualified team that puts the clients needs first. Thank you!

I worked with with Mr. Hemmat and his team (his associates Anna Linden & Yina Finch are amazing!).
They held my hand through an extremely stressful time in my life. After some bad experiences with prior attorneys, I had lost hope of ever finding a legal team that met my needs.
But Steve and his team really care about the wellbeing of their clients, and the outcome of their cases. Highly recommend looking for a legal team that cares.

I have nothing but absolute praise and adoration for this company, Steve and Debby particularly. I was in a car accident in 2020 that left me with permanent injuries and a totaled car and Steve and Debby were my team from day one. They took care of everything and really let me focus on healing and managing my life instead of panicking about how to handle this new situation.
They treated me with respect, kindness and worked their butts off for me and I will never have enough kind words to say or recommendations to give. I’m blown away by their professionalism and ability to walk me through these complicated matters.

Cynthia Buhr was a lighthouse in the storm of my divorce. She gave strong advice but always left it to me to make the decisions. She offered clear explanations and was always kind when I asked her to explain the process repeatedly. She was determined to help me get a settlement that was fair and equitable. I could not have gone through the divorce process without her sensible and prudent advice. She has a huge amount of family law experience, and she was able to deal with my ex and his lawyers in a calm and judicious manner.

Cynthia worked well on my case. She provided clear direction for my actions, as well as providing cost effective counsel. She was professional while helping clear up emotional responses to things that needed a fact based response.
My case was complicated, and she helped me to understand what was normal and abnormal, while providing excellent strategic thinking.

I had the pleasure of having Megan Stanley represent me in my divorce. Her knowledge, experience, and reliability gave me great confidence throughout my case. She is a great communicator and was always very responsive. She demonstrated high professionalism and was always very respectful in her interactions with the court’s staff. Ms. Stanley has an innate ability to absorb and retain a substantial amount of detailed information. I was genuinely impressed with how she could process all this information and recall it as needed. She formulated thorough and effective strategies for each situation and always communicated everything to me. She was always reasonable but also knew when to stand firm and be more aggressive when it came down to fighting for me. I had a great sense of security knowing she was doing everything she could for me. Ms. Stanley is a great attorney, a great person, and someone I trust wholeheartedly. She helped me tremendously, got me the best possible outcome, and I highly recommend that anyone going through a divorce hire her.

I was referred to Megan & her office in 2015. I was told she was the most affordable yet powerful lawyer they had. She proved to be that and so much more. Megan is supremely efficient with her time, saving me thousands of dollars. She is clear & authoritative in instructing you on the best actions to protect yourself & focus on your goal, with a compassionate nature that calms you thru even the hardest of times. She is thoroughly creative with her arguments & her communication skills are superb. Megan knows judges & their temperaments, she over-prepares you for the courtroom, and she will ensure no details are missed in presenting the most effective argument to win your case. I used Megan not just once, but TWICE to overcome a nearly insurmountable assault of accusations & court filings by my ex in an attempt to steal full custody of our daughter. To show how proficient Megan will be for you as well, imagine the workload involved in fighting and winning against: two domestic violence protection orders alleging drug abuse, physical abuse, & sex abuse, two CPS investigations, a Kirkland PD detective investigation, & overcoming a severely hostile ex and a biased therapist that submitted increasingly varied testimony against facts. With all those stacked against me, in 2016 & repeated in 2019, Megan won. And to add to the evidence of her amazing forethought & genuine desire to protect her clients, Megan coached me to file a Contempt charge against my ex in an effort to prevent the lies & tragic loss of my daughter for 6 months at a time from happening again. Due to Megan’s hard work, we won & my ex was forced to pay a portion of fees as a consequence, & now I can rest easy knowing my daughter & I are protected for the foreseeable future. Above all, what makes Megan unique and the best lawyer you could hope for is she CARES. She is smart, committed, responsive to every message no matter the time, and will do everything in her power to fight for your cause. Thank you, Megan, so much for BOTH of your cases with me. I don’t believe anyone could’ve done what you did for us, especially not just defending against actions, but then being proactive and forcing lasting consequences the other way. You are simply - THE BEST!

My case was unusual, involving dissolving a long marriage without divorcing. Megan was patient, smart, creative and understanding. She was available and aware of the details of my case whenever I contacted her. I have absolute confidence in her integrity and ability. She was a pleasure to work with under difficult and involved conditions.

Attorney Webbeking and Lawgena team members are awesome and they work very efficiently that I felt I’m being well taken care for my divorce case. I could tell Attorney Webbeking has so much experience/knowledge. Including my first intake meeting, hearing, discover and mediation, Attorney Webbeking and his team members went over what/how I need to prepare for my case.

The team at Puget Law Group that handled my case led by G Manigbas did an extraordinary job. Professional and aggressive are the most accurate adjectives for the service their team provides. I don't think I'll need them again, but knowing they're there if I do brings me a sense of ease. Thank you so much for all your hard work. CASE DISMISSED!!!

Admittedly I have no comparison to make as I’ve never been involved with any type of legal issues, but I will say this experience was highly disappointing.
After providing a binder full of documentation, photos, X-rays, and more documentation with little next to no contact (unless initiated by me) the waiting game began and continued until today when I received an email informing me they would not handle my case. This was after being told they would, with a full explanation of how things would proceed, the cost breakdown, and an agreement to not have contact in regards to this case with anyone outside of the Puget Law Group.
My first contact with Puget Law Group was in August of last year, 2023. All documentation, etc. was done by early December, treatment was completed in October and I was told they needed nothing more from me. That was nearly 9 months ago. Unbelievable at best considering nothing about this situation changed and to be given the most generic excuse is inexcusable.

I do not recommend. At first everything was fine, the company gave me access to the CRM system to add documents and control the status. I added all the documents very quickly. The company was constantly in touch Katya and the team (Kimberly and Abel). But then they started disappearing and not answering questions, they promised one deadline, but did nothing within the specified time frame and do not give an answer on the actual status and when it will be ready. As a client, I am worried because I did not receive the service for which I made an advance payment and I am wasting time with filing a case.

I would like to thank Stelmakh & Associates!
Katya has been amazing from day one, explaining all the options that might work for my unique case. Before starting to work with her team, I spoke with a few other lawyers but didn’t feel comfortable with them. However, after discussing my situation with Katya, I had no doubt that her team was the right choice for my EB2 NIW application. I chose this firm because of their stellar track record in handling immigration cases, along with the great feedback I received from an acquaintance who got her EB2 NIW approval in early 2024.
Katya and her team—Abel and Kimberly—did an incredible job taking charge of my case, meticulously preparing all the documents, answering my questions, and making sure every detail was covered. They were always responsive and kept me informed throughout the entire process.
Thanks to their dedication and expertise, I was able to secure my EB2 visa. I truly appreciate everything Stelmakh & Associates did for me!

Attorney Wang is full of energy and has a sharp mind. He has a remarkable ability to uncover key evidence from details that most non-professionals would overlook, demonstrating deep insight into the case. His dedication is evident; he not only gives thoughtful consideration to the case during work hours but often brings up new ideas even on weekends. His colleague, Attorney Liu, is meticulous in gathering evidence and organizes everything with great clarity. Communication with her is smooth, and she skillfully distills our discussions into precise and well-structured notes.

Jamie Polito Johnston was my divorce lawyer who calmly and professionally steered me through it in a demeanor of calm professionalism and at times, needed humor and assurance. I was further aided by the help of her highly capable firm's support staff as well as other people outside of that she could recommend to me. In totality, it was an excellent team effort!
My heartfelt wishes to any and all of you who are going through a divorce. Blessings.

Will Reingold was one of the attorneys who represented me in my divorce. Will’s overall attentiveness to the case and its myriad of deadlines demonstrated a high degree of detail-orientation that was incredibly reassuring during a very difficult period. It was a contentious case in which many motions were filed by both parties, which meant a lot of legal writing had to be done. Will’s writing was unfailingly crisp, concise (while still comprehensive), and persuasive. Through his writing I could tell how seriously he took my case, and how much he cared about the way his rhetoric would put me in a position to achieve a positive outcome. Additionally, the speed with which Will was able to produce incredibly well-written artifacts was equally impressive. If you are looking for someone to do excellent work for you, you will be hard pressed to find a better writer than Will.

Kim came highly recommended, and she did not disappoint. She was able to jump right in with short notice and an even shorter deadline and was able to take care of the issue with little resistence. I was a bit anxious at the time, but my concerns were soon alleviated after Kim patiently explained her plan, the law, and her strategy and then carried it through to a successful outcome. This was all far beyond my own abilities to address or to trust a less experienced attorney. I'm very grateful for Ms. Todaro's adept assistance. She's earned her stripes, and it shows in her confidence, approach, and most importantly: the outcome. Trust that you are in good hands when you choose to work with Kimberly Todaro.

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.

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. -
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.
