Working with Amy Ruby has been an exceptional experience both professionally and personally. As an attorney, she is the epitome of a consummate professional. From our initial consultation to the final resolution, her expertise, diligence, and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of my case.
Beyond her professional excellence, what truly sets Amy apart is the genuine friendship she offered throughout this journey. Her approachable nature and empathetic understanding made an otherwise stressful process much more manageable. She took the time to listen, to understand my concerns, and to provide reassurance when I needed it most.
Amy seamlessly blended professional rigor with personal warmth, making me feel supported on all fronts. It’s rare to find someone who excels in their field while also being a true friend, but Amy Ruby is exactly that. If you’re looking for an attorney who will not only represent you with unwavering dedication but also stand by you as a trusted ally, I wholeheartedly recommend Amy Ruby.
Thank you, Amy, for your outstanding service and steadfast friendship. Your impact on my life goes beyond the courtroom, and I am profoundly grateful. Joshua Watkins

Mr. Goldman handled my case with professionalism and tact.
Very good listener and adviser.
Felt non- stressed during our appearance before the Judge.
When I had problems using "Zoom" for the court case Mr. Goldman was sure I was able to communicate with the court explaining the problem.
A very good person.
I would recommend his services.

Parisa's work exemplifies that of a superb attorney. Her skills and demeanor demonstrate the highest level of professionalism. Parisa has been able to explain matters in a way that helped me navigate rough legal waters. She was also able to negotiate a deal that was as favorable to me as possible, given the circumstances. I highly recommend Parisa should you need legal representation in her specialty areas.

Everything with my case was handled very thoroughly and in a timely manner. I have no complaints.

26 Jun, 2024 by Reese
To start,
I’d love to thank Parisa personally again for her patience, tenacity, diligence and brutal honesty throughout my legal battle.
I reached out to Lewis and Dickstein Because of their reputation and our glorious state of Michigan. Parisa Sadrnia was the one who answered the phone after hours and consulted me for long after the initial consultation was or had ended.
I went in and her whole concern and attitude was to defend her client while showing a tremendous amount of patients because of being falsely accused of domestic violence.
There is an old term that we all know “ Pay for what you get”
Parisa is worth every penny and then some, and deserves even more than What the firm fees are.
I will and I am recommending to anyone in need of an absolute beast in a criminal defense. PARISA IS THE ONE!
She is Young, But I will say with her, she spares no doubt To her client that she is 100% there for them. Parisa will not leave one stone unturned that she cannot figure out or gain to help and defending or in your defense, as well as knows the exact approach.
I had a ton of evidence that we could’ve used. The things that we focused on in court because of Parisa‘s knowledge and experience, We did not have to explore half of that.
She obtained things that the government “ Prosecution” Was not aware that we had nor did we have to submit as evidence that we used in trial, which was incredibly damaging to the so-called victim.
I have never heard nor experienced a lawyer like Parisa at my trial with her ability to impeach, discredit, And embarrass the so-called victim on the stand that a panel of six women and one man all came back unanimously not guilty.
Mind you, I have had a criminal history that was in the past levels that were not violent that she navigated around the governments ability to use at trial as well as even setting forth the motion To just use the term victim at the trial, so it could not be said.
I cannot express my gratitude enough to Parisa and her team that also stands behind her because when you hire her, you hire all of them as well.
Every single one of them are a 10 out of 10 and probably the best law in the state of Michigan above and when I say above Jeffrey Figer, which is Hard to beat.
They are 100% again worth every dollar
I am not an easy person to sometimes deal with! But Parisa 100% talk to me at any point of the day or night, calmed me, reassured me, and also was straightforward again which I appreciate more than anything about the potential seriousness of the allegations that were against me.
She never lied to me. She never promised me anything nor did she ever tell me with everything that I had that I was OK or good and she could get it done.
She kept it 100% with me, She is one of the most straightforward, honest people that I’ve honestly genuinely ever met.
I am a finance manager at a local car dealership, I can tend to feed and read through a lot of the BS.
She is very genuine. She is the best at her job and she is a superstar lawyer that if I ever need again has my 100% loyalty.
Thank you, Lewis and Dickstein
Most of all, THANK YOU TOO, PARISA SADRNIA FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID FOR THE TIME YOU TOOK AWAY WITH YOUR PERSONAL LIFE FOR ME AS WELL AS NEVER LOSING FAITH OR DOUBTING ME AND DEFENDING ME.
You are truly a blessing and someone that I will always consult or recommend to anyone.
She deserves a much higher rating then 10/10 but
10 stars PARISA

Attny Angela Whitaker is a great lawyer. She took my case after another lawyer had to dropout. She is very knowledgeable and jumped right in the middle to get this done as quickly as possible. The payment plan helped a lot and I she was truly an angel from God. You couldn’t go wrong with using this all female team who doesn’t judge.

I highly recommend the services of Access Legal Care Law Firm and specifically attorney Bert Whitehead and his team. Throughout my custody hearings, they provided exceptional guidance and support, ensuring that I had a clear understanding of the process and assisted me in filling out the necessary paperwork accurately and submitting it on time.
One aspect that impressed me was their attentiveness to my needs and preferences. Despite their busy schedule, they always made sure to allocate time for my phone calls, which was included in the payment. I initially found the strict time window for calls a bit disconcerting, but Attorney Whitehead promptly addressed all my concerns and ensured that I received the necessary attention and guidance.
What I appreciated most was the transparency in terms of payment. Whether it was a straight upfront payment or a payment plan, they provided a clear rate, ensuring that I knew what to expect. Despite opting for a payment plan, the level of service and dedication extended to me was no different from those who paid in full.
Attorney Whitehead and his team were meticulous in their approach to my case, going above and beyond to set me up for success. They ensured that I understood my responsibilities and provided updates on the progress of the case, including reminders and calls the night before court hearings to ensure my preparedness. Although I never met Attorney Whitehead in person, our communication through Skype and phone calls made me feel like he was my personal attorney.
The entire team at Access Legal Care works tirelessly, often working seven days a week, demonstrating their commitment to their clients. They genuinely care about achieving the best possible outcome, regardless of payment plan or payment in full. They never left me hanging and consistently provided assistance and support throughout the ups and downs of the case.
Attorney Whitehead and his team are not only proficient in navigating the legal system but also in finding cost-saving alternatives to reach a favorable resolution. They understood the gravity of my case and approached it with efficiency, grace, and precision. I cannot express enough gratitude for the positive impact they had on my life. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I was able to achieve my desired outcome, although it did take some time and patience.
I fully believe that no other lawyer could have done a better job, even if I had paid them in full. Access Legal Care, led by Attorney Bert Whitehead, is an outstanding law firm with a compassionate and skilled team. If you are in need of legal assistance, I strongly encourage you to reach out to them. I have personally tried various internet sites, consulted with different lawyers and experts, and Access Legal Care stands out as the best choice. They will make the seemingly impossible possible and restore your hope in a successful outcome. They certainly did that for me, and I will forever be grateful. Thank you once again to Burt Whitehead and the entire team. Stay blessed and stay great! Sincerely blaise

Bert was very knowledgeable and help me thru this and appreciate his professional service to me.
I like the on the line system- modern technology is so amazing. I never had to drive to his office (like my ex-wife did- traveled 45 minutes each way to talk with her lawyer) to get access to him but did everything thru on line and telephone. Set up an appointment time slot on his schedule that he has available and then he calls you back at that time. Be organized and write down your content you want to cover as the time flies by quickly.
He was 4 times cheaper than the first lawyer I had a consultation with to see if I was going to hired her her
Thank you Bert. You are a great lawyer. I wouldn’t hesitate in using you again.

I had a consultation with Bert, he was informative and honest even when it meant he might not make as much money from us. He provided candid feedback on my issues and he was clear and easy to understand. While we didn't hire him right now it is likely that we will be working with him down the road.

I normally don't write reviews, but after having Attorney Cicchelli represent me in my very messy divorce case, I felt that I should write one. I was going through my divorce case that lasted for a very long time due to my ex fighting me on every single issue. I must say that Attorney Cicchelli was there for me every step of the way. I don't know much about court stuff, but Attorney Cicchelli and her staff were able to walk me through every step on what i needed to do and she made sure I fully understood what was going on. I'm so blessed to have found Attorney Cicchelli and in the long run it was worth every penny. Thank you for all you have done for me. If I ever have any legal matter that I need help with I am differently coming back to your firm.

Erica Cicchelli was awesome. I was at a point in my life where I was drowning in debt and the thought of even considering bankruptcy was mortifying. Erica took the time to educate and explain the bankruptcy process to me. I was very intimidated and as I went through the process it was virtually painless and I have regained my life back. Erica's compassion, knowledge and patience really helped me through a very difficult time. I hope that I never need to hire a lawyer again, but if I do, Erica Cicchelli would be the lawyer I would turn to.

I highly recommend hiring Erica Cicchelli to represent you in any type of legal matter but particularly in a divorce custody matter. She represented me in a very contentious custody fight. Erica was effective in the courtroom and effective in dealing with opposing counsel. She obtained favorable results for me. She was prompt in returning phone calls and did not seem to mind taking the time to answer my questions throughout this process. I truly felt involved in the divorce process and very much informed by Erica's office. I feel that Erica moved the case along swiftly, which was something I told her was very important for me from the beginning. Clearly a smart choice.

I had a challenging custody case where I took a job out of state and was fighting for the court to approve my son moving with me full time, only having visitation in MI with his mother during school breaks and vacations. I had spoken to several other lawyers before Eric, and none of them seemed to have confidence in my case. After speaking with Eric, he made me feel comfortable with my chances. Ultimately, after several months of court issues, we won the case and my son moved with me. The price was considerably more than I was prepared for, but, had I gone with the lower cost/less confident options and lost I would always regret not choosing to hire the best. He communicates well, is direct, and knows his stuff... All things I would want/expect from a Lawyer. I also think he is a nice/friendly person who takes an interest in his clients, but when considering a lawyer that is fairly low on my priority list as I want a lawyer that will win so that aspect is just a "bonus" in my eyes. All that being said, my son is with me, he is very happy and has straight A's in his new school. Hopefully, I never NEED to talk to Eric again, but if something ever happened and I need a family law lawyer again, I wouldn't hesitate to call him.

I was married 25 years; With that said, I couldn't have known a good lawyer from a bad lawyer. Pazner was an awesome replacement from a terrible lawyer. My case was dragged nearly an entire year because of the previous attorney's weakness. When I understood what was happening I hired Pazner as substitute counsel. In a little over two months my case was concluded with a fair and equitable settlement.

Attorney Barry Fayne is one of the greatest people that I know, and I am more than happy that he agreed to take my case. At the time that he decided to get involved, I had been through four attorneys who seemed reluctant to deal with the tumultuous issues on my case. Attorney Fayne’s involvement changed everything!
In my opinion, Attorney Fayne’s calling was to be a family law attorney. He gives the best advice based on his profound knowledge of the law. He is also considerate and respectful of your feelings and will listen with an open-mind to your input relative to the direction of the case. He is truly committed and dedicated to his profession. He has received and responded to my calls and/or emails of an urgent nature outside of ‘normal’ working hours and has been very personable. His presence in the courtroom on my case has been impactful.
I could say so much more about my attorney. Whenever anyone mentions the need for a family law attorney, Attorney Barry Fayne is the first person I recommend. In my opinion, he is the absolute best!!!

We hired Barry on the recommendation of our attorney, who had a conflict and could not represent us for a specific hearing. Barry took us on as clients and immediately understood a very complex case and the seriousness of the issues of the hearing. He treated us like we were longstanding clients (even though we had just met) and listened to and responded to every one of our communication in a way that showed he is “all-in” for his clients when he takes a case. After observing him in action, I can confirm that he is highly skilled in arguing in front of a judge, has vast experience across multiple counties and knows multiple judges and courtrooms, and knows family law inside and out. While I’m happy with my current attorney (who also hired Barry, and hence recommended him when the conflict arose), I’d not hesitate to hire Barry again and recommend him to everyone I know. Once you work with the best, it’s hard to work with anyone else!!!

Elizabeth handled my divorce with a high level of competency and professionalism. She was always on point and exhibited patience and understanding at all times when it came to helping me navigate the process, the emotions, and the upheaval inherent when a marriage, and consequently a family, breaks up. She never lost sight of my individual interests and most importantly, continually helped me think through points of contention and supported my insistence that EVERY move we made was done in the best interests of my children rather than me. I would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone navigating the convoluted process that is divorce in Michigan, even though I likely won't need her services again as I will NEVER go down the marriage road again and am recommending that my kids consider the same.

Attorney Melissa is truly a great advocate for her clients and has been a Godsend. From the time in met her the first time until now, she has been wonderful. Divorce is very hard and she was there every step of the way. She called back very fast when I had questions and concerns, even later in the evening apparently when she was still working.
She and her team were very prompt, courteous, and made a tough experience tolerable with her experience, understanding, and empathy. I think the most impressive thing, other than her ability, is that she makes you feel like you are her only client and spends the time working on your individual case.
She laid out a great strategy the first time I met her, and everything happened like she said it would. I have and will continue to recommend her to my friends and family.

Melissa Schwartz represented my daughter in a custody case for her young daughter a few years back. Hands down, she is the best Attorney out there. She gathered pertinent information, educated my daughter on what to expect, how to present herself, etc. She prepared my daughter in every way prior to the Court Date. Ms. Schwartz was fully prepared to represent my daughter and WON the case. I have experienced and seen other attorneys in the past that represented people by showing up unprepared. You will never see this happen with Melissa Schwartz. I highly recommend her!

Deanna Bundy is an outstanding Bankruptcy Attorney. We handled the entire process via eMail (never met face-to-face). She sent me an information packet that contained everything I needed to do -- including credit training, documents required, and the whole process. She was there for me by telephone at every step of the way. If I got her voicemail, she called me back within 2-hours -- WoW! After the initial hearing with the Bankruptcy Trustee, the Trustee had a few questions (normal), and we handled those expeditiously. She sent me the final discharge notice the DAY she received it. The whole process start-to-finish took 4-months -- exactly 117-days. Anyone who tells you they can do it faster than that probably does not know what they are talking about.
Deanna Bundy is courteous, friendly, knowledgeable and VERY Professional. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a competent Bankruptcy Attorney!

Recently, I was afforded the opportunity of receiving the legal representation of Attorney Deanna Waller-Bundy. I was overwhelmed by her attention to details, patience with me as I rattled on, knowledge that totally relaxed me, clear presentations and her wisdom on legal matters. I found Attorney Deanna Waller-Bundy to be a kindhearted, professional, and caring person. She handled my case expeditiously during the worlds worst pandemic. She was always clear and articulated the necessary documentation that was required to accomplish my goal. I had great success and anyone obtaining Attorney Deanna Waller-Bundy will be successful too.

I started using Yeshareg Belay for my H-1B visa, and later for my green card. I always felt like Yeshareg was genuinely interested in my case as she would always take the time to answer my calls and respond to my e-mails right away. Her up-to-date knowledge of the changing laws made both processes as easy and short as possible. She was very diligent with filing on time, meeting deadlines, and communicating with me and my employer to keep us informed of how things were progressing. I highly recommend Yeshareg Belay to anyone looking for an immigration attorney.

I had a child support case that I realized I could no longer deal with on my own. While consulting different attorneys I ran across Ms. Posner and instantly felt like “she was the one”. She kept me up to date with the process and proceedings and we eventually saw the light at the end of the tunnel. When I wanted to give up and let the case go she wouldn’t let me and I was granted a favorable judgement in the end. I tried for 7 yrs to get child support for my daughter and she accomplished this for us in under a year!

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.

- 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.

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.

- 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.

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.
