Gary Goldin is a great lawyer. He made sure we understood everything about our law suit. He got us more money than we thought we would receive. If you were injured is an automobile accident. You need to call him, he goes beyond the work he needs to win your case.

I had an outstanding experience with The Asmar Law Firm! From the moment I contacted them, their team was professional, attentive, and highly knowledgeable. They took the time to understand my situation in detail and provided clear, concise legal guidance that put my mind at ease. The attorneys, led by Mr. Ron Asmar are not only experts in their field but also genuinely care about their clients. They kept me informed throughout the entire process and were always available to answer my questions. I couldn't be more satisfied with the results they achieved for me. I highly recommend The Asmar Law Firm to anyone in need of top-notch legal representation.

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

Amy was my representation in a divorce case. She was very thorough in walking me through each step and ensuring I was well informed of each step in the process. She was prompt in her communication and ensured all of my questions were answered. Above all else, I felt like I had an advocate every step of the way. 10/10 - I'd recommend Amy to any friend or family member who needs representation to resolve a legal issue.

Victoria Targosz and her legal team are superior. Victoria is confident, prepared and bold.
She meticulously reviewed the information of my case and prepared an exceptional strategy that resulted in a positive outcome.
Vic exceeded my expectations as an attorney.
My questions were answered with great clarity and patience. She always made me feel as if I mattered and respected as a client.
In the courtroom, Victoria is highly respectful and respected, calm, and addresses the court with confident knowledge.
I highly recommend consulting with her. When you hand your case over to her, let her do her job - you will be graeful you did.

Channelle drafted the wrong wording regarding spousal support after taking her to two mediations, per my new lawyer that I took to my final arbitration. She hardly looked at my case, and relied on her office personnel to handle everything. When I showed up at the first mediation she asked me why we were there and if me and my ex could reconcile (no). I felt she sided with my ex in terms of giving him 50/50 parenting time even though I was a stay at home mom. I do not recommend this office to anyone.

Ashleigh is an exceptional attorney! She was with me every step of the way as we fought and won against a very difficult to deal with EX and lawyer from a popular divorce firm for women. We were faced with a lot of obstacles, which were all overcome! The outcome of my case was even better than I expected! Ashleigh and the staff are very responsive and efficient. I can’t say enough about the level of professionalism and seasoned skill set that was displayed on my case.
Having Kizy law on your side fighting for you will be an asset, especially if you’re dealing with divorce, parenting time/rights, and child support.
I can’t thank you enough! You’ve given me the invaluable opportunities to continue be a great Dad to an amazing little girl! Opportunities which turn into memories which my daughter and I will be able to cherish for a lifetime!

I have used Sam’s firm countless times with every occurrence that falls on my lap and every time Sam has helped me through my situations to resolve and win every case, and has even consulted me on the necessary steps or actions to take! His firm is very kind and professional and always answer any questions I may have. They really are a top notch firm to work with! If I can give this firm more than 5 stars I would in a heart beat. I highly recommend this firm to those who are looking for professional law firm to work with and I recommend every of my referrals to here! You will not regret working with Sam and his associates.

Was expecting a big turnout due to my accident but unfortunately the person that hit me back on 10-10 2021. She had no insurance, no license. I thought Mike Morris was a good law firm to get me the most but instead we had to sue my insurance. I was off work for almost a year due to lower back shoulder and neck. Since I opt out of a medical coverage on my insurance, they only seeked out $100,000. Of course they took. They cut left me with almost about $10,000 the day of my hearing. My attorney Mr. Wheatley was on vacation so to me it felt like I got the low in because now I still have $20,000 worth of medical bills and I felt like they could have did more in my eyes. I look at it as my case was pennies to them so I'm just not satisfied with the outcome and the main thing was I wish I didn't get stuck with a medical bill because I did nothing wrong and I wish I never would have got in an accident or had to go through any of this to being debt and to still have somewhat of an injury. So if it's not a big high profile case, I wouldn't recommend using them!! And if they so much care, they took almost 34,000 my insurance through my job received $50,000 And other fees. So I pretty much was left with nothing and a bill and after the case was closed when I called to speak to Mr. Wheatley the only thing he can tell me is to get on a payment arrangement for almost $20,000 worth of medical bills. So if anything you could have fought a little harder to make sure I didn't have no medical bills and I wouldn't feel the way I feel now

So let me tell you, if you're looking for a review that will help you choose a lawyer, this is it.
I worked with James Huston. He has excellent communication and is very articulate. I has no problem getting the outcome I wanted. Most importantly I felt like we were a team which is a major benefit in a stressful situation where you need legal representation.
If you need an attorney, this is the place.

Steve Mamat and his team at Elimitix are very professional. Steve communicated with the prosecuting attorney and did an amazing job fighting the false charges alleged by the Michigan State Police officer against me. Steve’s hard work got my PBT Refusal ticket reduced to Impeding Traffic. I strongly recommend that you hire Steve if you are fighting a traffic ticket. Steve will fight for your rights and get job done.

Hiring an attorney isn’t anyone’s first choice for resolution but sometimes it’s your only choice. It takes time, commitment, being a good listener, being able to interpret the law responsibly, money but most of all, trust. When someone says they stand on their Christian beliefs, it comes with a much greater responsibility. More than words, it’s based on action and integrity; so when you’re searching for the right attorney, that’s what you hope you’re hiring. Of course money is a huge factor, especially during difficult times, which you’re in if you’re in need of an attorney to begin with. So, you invest all that you have in the person/firm representing you, hoping that together, you win your case. I was grateful to think that’s what I had found in Ms. Taylor until I realized that even as an attorney with Christian values, it can be disappointing. I hired Ms. Taylor to appeal my case, not fully understanding what I was really facing. My initial case was already grim, no additional evidence could be entered and it meant that her argument really wasn’t going to be enough but I still held on to hope. We discussed going in front of the judge, as that was her strategy, to put a face with the case, knowing what was at stake. Waiting for over a year felt like a long time as though I was holding my breath, waiting for my turn at truth, waiting to exhale in order to find some long-awaited relief in my journey. Unbeknownst to me, my trial date came and went, only to be notified by my initial attorney who did absolutely nothing to help my case whatsoever. I felt my appeal was my only opportunity for justice. However, the only explanation Ms. Taylor provided was that there must have been a mix up or a mistake. Ms. Taylor said it was a “partial win” because her brief identified an overreach concerning my property. Maybe her brief brought enlightenment to the case but I felt without a trial argument, my opportunity was lost and therefore, I indeed lost my case. How is it that your attorney misses your court date and without explanation? Later, I learned that while waiting for trial, Ms. Taylor was faced with other challenges - scrutiny against her law firm, going into partnership, running for US Senate, teaching and still managing her firm, representing more important cases, as she would sometimes remind me. As a woman with Christian beliefs myself, it was most disheartening at the very end, being spoken to as though I had been guilty all along, as though she never really believed in me or my case. Accountability as a Christian is essential, especially when you commit to your profession by taking another person’s livelihood and trust into your own hands.

I have been a client of Robert Dubins for many years. The first thing he handled for me was a bankruptcy, which went flawlessly.
Whenever I have legal questions, he's willing to spend some time with me to answer them and ease my mind; for which I never receive a bill.
He has been handling three cases for me over the last eight months or so, we've won two of them and I expect the last one to be resolved in my favor soon.
Whenever anyone tells me they think they should call a lawyer, I give them Dubin Law's number and tell them to talk to Robert.
I don't do anything from a legal standpoint without consulting Robert first. I Actually TRUST Him!! That's saying something; No, that's Saying a Lot because I Don't Trust Lawyers!!
You can't go wrong with Dubin Law!!

I paid child and spousal support but it was fair. I was awarded custody of 2 of my 3 children (not the 3rd by his choice) and was able to keep our home where all 4 of us now live today.

I highly recommend this law firm, do not waste your money elsewhere. I should have paid the extra money in the first place, I went cheap for my first lawyer when going through my divorce and in turn lost everything after 31 years of marriage. I had to hire a lawyer for spousal support, so this time I hired the right law firm ADAM. They assigned Mr. Eric Gloudemans to my case much to my pleasure. Mr. Gloudemans took my case and presented all the facts and figures to the courts, in doing so Mr. Gloudemans won my case hands down, I pay no spousal support and no back pay. Once again pay the extra money for a good law firm and a great lawyer. Thank You Again Mr. Eric R. Gloudemans for a great job at winning my case.

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.

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. -

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.
