Jenny did an amazing job for us. We had the worst possible situation in our eyes and she eased our minds and took care of everything for us. She was so helpful, quick & kind. We had to battle a false DSS report and couldn’t have done it without her. Her experience and expertise was unmatched in this area. She is who we would call if a situation like this were to arise again and we’d recommend her to anyone going through a similar situation. We are so thankful to have met Jenny and worked with her. She was very professional and supportive in every way.

Jenny was very thorough and professional to work with. She has a keen memory and a great understanding of the emotional challenges with litigation. She is proactive, prepared, and keeps herself updated with current litigation outcomes and how those precedents could affect your case, which I found to be very helpful. A pleasure to work with in a less than pleasurable situation!

She represented me in a case that I was arrested for and thought for sure I would be sentenced for. My case was not processed for several years until I hired Melinda and it only took two short months until she argued my case and had the charges dissmissed. Thank you Melinda, you are truely a God sent person, honest and really cares about the people you represent and will fight for our rights! i can never thank you enough or show my appreciation to reflect how I feel at this moment; I hope anyone who sees this review will talk with Melinda and see what she can do for your case.

As a former client of Mr. Futeral's, I can attest to his professionalism and sincere care that he invests in his clients. Mr. Futeral was highly communicative and informative in each of our interactions. He not only gave legal advice to me, but was also empathetic and kind-hearted in what I would consider to be one of the hardest times in my life. I highly recommend him.

He is a knowledgeable, trustworthy and in my experience with lawyers, the classiest lawyer in SC that I had the privelage to work with briefly. I would have kept him longer but he was unable to travel to Conway, SC to represent me since his office is in Mount Pleasant. He's a kind man and has a sweet staff. Stephan go out there and fight for what's right when it comes to these children, be guided by what's true and honest.

I was very impressed with Sterling Chillico, James Danko and their staff’s performance. From the beginning, they were honest with me and advised me as to what I could expect with regard to my case. If I ever had any questions or problems someone was always there to provide answers to me. I found the attorneys at Danko Law, LLC and their staff to be efficient, knowledgeable, polite and very understanding. Almost immediately someone began working on my case. They have extensive knowledge and background in family law cases, immigration, criminal defense and real estate transactions. I would highly recommend Danko Law LLC to anyone in need of honest, hardworking, knowledgeable and most importantly dedicated representation.

She was responsive to my calls and on time to appointments. She is the gladiator you want fighting on your behalf, trust me! Thank you, Sterling, Thank you.

I am a single father in the military and have custody of my son because of Robin. Without her I don't think It would of been possible. Her devotion to the case and able to relate was incredible and way above par. I never had to worry that she wasn't looking out for my son and mines best interest. Her knowledge and demeanor put me at ease knowing that I was well taken care of. She is the ONLY lawyer I will ever use. Words cannot express how great and personable she is.

I first met JD when my children were quite young and in a very bad situation with their biological father. JD worked with me and for me tirelessly and we had an absolute phenomenal outcome with that case. Since JD has assisted us in every little need we have had. Our.most recent, my husband had two aneurysms and a stroke and JD and his assistant, Carla, had the poa paperwork over to us in less than 24 hours. Incredible people, real people, that actually care. I would recommend his practice everyday, everytime.

This woman is like a relentless bulldog in court! I have never seen anything like it. She fought for me so aggressively and did an incredible job.
I am so incredibly thankful for her. She knew my case forward and backward. No matter what the other side threw at her, she had documents and paperwork for my defense.
Even the court officer said it was entertaining! She was on fire in there!
This woman could have her own show. In my opinion, she knew more about the law than the judge did!
I couldn't have even wished for anything more in an attorney. She was so ready for court and did her job phenomenally!
Regina Ward is one of the best attorneys I've ever seen. I switched to her as my attorney for the second court hearing, and I have zero regrets. I wish I would've had her for the first hearing.
I just sat there amazed through the three hour hearing that was only supposed to be one hour.
I'll never use any other attorney than Regina Ward. That's for dang sure!

I worked with Jessica Christophillis on my very challenging visitation/custody modification case and I couldn't be happier with the results and my choice to go with her. She stuck with me for over a year while we fought for the best interests of my children. She took the time to listen to me and truly understand my concerns, while always upfront and honest with me, even when it wasn't what I wanted to hear. Having her intelligence and experience in law, mixed with her ability to relate to me as a mother, made this difficult journey bearable and I couldn't have done it without her.

Julia Funke is top notch! Navigating the documentation process is wildly complicated, as is finding competent legal help. We were so lucky to find Julia.

Last year I was involved in a case with DSS and I decided to hire Mary Lee Briggs as my attorney. The whole process extended for a year and half but she made sure to keep my mind at ease at all times. She puts herself in your shoes when she is representing you and that’s something you don’t find everywhere.
Mary Lee was very responsive and always listened and addressed all my concerns and I honestly felt like I was in great hands; she knows the law and understands all the proceedings which made me feel very comfortable and secure with her services.
She did an amazing job and the results were positive for me, I can’t thank her enough for her services, I will always be thankful for how she handled my situation.
I highly recommend Mary Lee and her team to anyone seeking legal representation that is fair and honest.

I can't thank Mary Lee enough for her support and strong ability to represent me for my divorce. I had moved from SC to Colorado and secured her while moving. Although it was a 1.5 year process, she was extremely supportive throughout the time. My ex was less than cooperative and honest during the entire process, but she kept encouraging me to hang in there until we had our time in court. She hit it out of the park when it came to the trial by addressing the issues at hand... extremely prepared and tactful. Things ended positively for me, even after a scare of a mistrial, she advocated for me. I can't thank Mary Lee enough. Divorces are never fun and there are two sides to every broken marriage, however, if you need a divorce attorney to help tell your side of the story and fight for your rights, she definitely will have your back.

I used Mrs. Briggs for a custody case throughout 2016 and 2017. Mrs. Briggs was extremely professional and efficient throughout the entire process. She always got back to me in a timely manner and kept me informed of what was going on throughout the case. She explained all the legal jargon to me, and allowed me to make decisions on the case instead of telling me what to do. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area needing a family lawyer.

Mrs. Forsythe was very professional in handling all of the matters in a very complex custody case. She is incredibly diligent with her paperwork and clients. It was a very long and arduous process, in which she was very supportive.

She is compassionate, understanding, and very good at her job. She knows the laws very well and performs fabulously in court.

Don has been there for us through all of the trying times there can be in a successful business. Many people will see your assets as their retirement plan.

He has also assisted us in setting up trusts, new companies as we have grown, and provided advise on many different fronts. He has 35 years of experience so there isn't much he hasn't seen. If you need someone, and it's important to you, I would recommend Don Budman. He won't tell you what you want to hear, he will tell you what the next step is and what we are going to do about it.

I retained Kevin for a separation case, and am extremely glad that I did. His initial fact gathering session with me was extremely thorough, and enabled him to clearly define my options and possible outcomes. His communication with me throughout the process was unprecedented. He personally kept me up to date on developments and the path he saw as being best. His creativity in developing a final agreement within an extremely short window of time (3 weeks) helped alleviate a long, litigious process and allowed me to get back to my life post marriage. He is extremely knowledgeable of case law, and can "think on the fly" if necessary. In the end, he basically wrote the agreement to which opposing counsel willingly accepted. If you are seeking an intelligent, reputable attorney with excellent people skills, and one that will stay in constant communication with you and not treat you like a number, then you must retain Kevin.

Jonathan was very detail oriented and did a thorough job on an appeal we hired him to do rather than use the attorney who handled the initial trial. Jonathan's work won the appeal for us.

My experience with Jon was excellent. He was professional and courteous, warm and inviting. Jon did a superior job handling my divorce and custody. He was thorough in explaining the process, offered professional advice, and helped me through to the end. I have, and will, return to Jon for future needs.

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.
