I am extremely disappointed in the service I have received from Mr. Gossing although it’s not GHG legal if you run into this attorney it’s hit or miss. I have read several reviews as to how great and attentive he is however at this point I feel it’s just personal because he is so unresponsive to me. I try not to be a bother but apparently that gets me nowhere as well. Throughout my bankruptcy I pretty much received the same service and when he and his previous business partner parted ways I felt a loyalty to him and stuck it out with his piss poor service because when he is responsive he is AMAZING!! Unfortunately that type of service an unresponsiveness is truly unacceptable. It seems as though he is way to busy to even attempt to make you feel as a priority.

She listened, advised and gave great advice. She understands the law and how a court room works. Carolyn is an advocate for the law. She was not intimated from the opposing lawyer and use the law to protect our rights. I would refer her to anyone who needed a lawyer, that is willing to represent them in a professional manner.

We selected Kampbell Legal Planning based on reviews of other clients. We chose well. The team let us know up front how much services would cost and honored the reasonable fee through completion of wills and other documents. We experienced no fee growth. They challenged us develop a line of succession beyond our nuclear family. They also took time to answer our many questions related to estates in Washington State. We would not hesitate to use them in the future. We would describe this firm as kind, caring, comfortable, professional, efficient and trustworthy.

Kampbell Legal Planning was highly recommended to me by a trusted friend. Our wills needed updating and we required guidance on estate planning for blended family. Brianne patiently explained the options and worked with us to help make decisions that fit our needs. Brianne and her staff kept us apprised and informed of all steps along the way; the stress and anxiety associated with estate planning was greatly reduced by Brianne. I would not hesitate to recommend Kampbell Legal Planning for estate planning needs.

Give us incorrect information told my husband he could get up to a 1/3 good time if he took the deal but it was only 10% good time which is a big difference And we asked to make sure he could see our girls when he was in and never told us that regardless of whether that’s put in the J and S DOC gets to do whatever they want and so now he has not got to see our girls at all… Should’ve went with a public defender

Wonderful people. I called to ask a few questions about a DWLS, and the lady I spoke to was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I made my partner save the phone number in case she decides to continue her bad driving streak. They will have our money if we need them.
- edit, I think her name was Heather. Thank you!!

I’d recommend ensuring that your staff.. whether a secretary, paralegal, or receptionist... has a clear understanding of basic client-facing information. Prospective clients should be able to quickly obtain answers to foundational questions such as:
1. Consultation Fees: Whether the firm charges for an initial consultation and, if so, the amount.
2. Billing Structure: Whether services are billed on a flat fee, hourly rate, or incrementally
3. Retainer Amount: The cost to retain the attorney’s services and the terms of the retainer agreement.
Equipping your staff with this knowledge fosters efficiency, professionalism, and client trust. A well-prepared team ensures potential clients feel valued and confident in their initial interaction with your firm.

I cannot recommend Hannah Gurewitz highly enough. From the very beginning, she demonstrated excellent knowledge and dedication to my case. Hannah took the time to explain every step of the process in a simple way, ensuring I understood my options and what to expect. She, and her assistant Kristen always responded swiftly to my questions, even when she is busy in a mediation or in court, she would let me know that she received my email or massage and that she will get back to me once she is done, sometimes after office regular hours. Hannah was committed, leaving no detail overlooked. She understood the stress that I had and knew how to deal with it.
Thanks to Hannah’s hard work, my case was resolved successfully. I will definitely turn to her for any legal need in the future.

Andrea is professional in all aspects as it comes to her profession. Her attitude was superb, she was kind supportive and has a pleasing personality & I think a good sense of humor. Her skills, are modern and up to date, email, voicemail.
It is my most sincere desire that one day I will be so blessed as to have not have court dates. However if it should arise in the future I would not hesitate to ask Andrea if she would represent me.
Beyond professionalism, Ms. Boitano is a rationale, kind, caring individual. It's my opinion that she should have a much higher rating than is indicated on this website. If you are in need of an attorney, and are interested in an attorney that cares Andrea might be the perfect person.

I want to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for David Braswell and everything he has done for me. After being turned away by more than six firms, I was feeling frustrated and out of options—until I connected with David. From our very first call, he stepped in with professionalism, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to helping me navigate an incredibly difficult situation.
David’s diligence, expertise, and integrity truly set him apart. He not only took on my case but also took the time to listen, guide, and advocate for me every step of the way. His deep knowledge of the law, combined with his fairness and transparency, gave me confidence throughout the process. I always felt like I had someone in my corner, fighting for the best possible outcome without unnecessary costs or complications.
I can’t thank David enough for his dedication and support. I will always be grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of an outstanding attorney.

September 12th, 2022 police arrived at my door to tell me they were investigating sexual claims made against me, outlandish as they were I immediately panicked because as everyone knows, once these rise against you, you’re pretty much screwed. I immediately reached out to any attorney and was recommended Vindicate law, I spoke to the receptionist and explained the case and was assigned Carrie Fulton Brown. She accepted my case. The path to freedom was long and arduous. After the arraignment they told me I was facing 60 years in prison. Many continuations later, my anxiety and stress were at an all time high. Me and Carrie never really talked to each other about the case itself except a few times as my case was entirely hearsay, but because of the fact that it was from a minor the case was stacked against me 10 fold. Communication with Carrie was very rough, as most people sitting in the hot seat just want a shred or a glimmer of positivity but Carrie did NOT deliver on that front in the slightest. But that was okay, because she was dedicated to working against the state in a screwed up system. Most of the beginning of my case I knew most people and even Carrie didn’t believe me when I say I didn’t do it. Later on I passed 3 polygraph tests trying to prove I didn’t do it, and only after the 3rd one when I passed it with the actual prosecutor / State did Carrie tell me she strongly believes I didn’t do it. She gave me the best options to follow forward and going to trial with a minors words against mine was bleak, Carrie fought for the best outcome, I served 0 days in jail, no fees or Fines, Didn’t have to sign a sexual registry, all 4 counts were dropped to a Class C Abuse of a child. And 1 year of DOC Probation in which I spent 3 weeks on before the DOC discharged me from probation saying my crime didn’t fit criteria of having probation as I was a zero risk person and this was the only thing I’ve ever gotten on my record.
All said and done, I’m glad Carrie pulled through for me and allowed me to stay out of prison and remain with my family and to continue working she’s a tough person to understand and rough around the edges when talking to her but she’s nothing but business which is what you want in an attorney. Thanks Carrie for giving me my life back! 60 years was a long time to be away.

I am absolutely appalled by the complete lack of professionalism and utter disregard for my situation shown by Carrie Fulton Brown from this Law Group. I entrusted her with my case, believing her promises of dedicated representation, and instead, I received nothing but empty words and an empty bank account. She happily accepted my retainer, and then proceeded to do absolutely nothing. During the 6 months period she was my attorney, before her withdrawal, phone calls went unanswered, meetings/appointments were canceled for no apparent reasons. No investigations were done on my case, she did not interview no witnesses, and the so called ”victim“. Furthermore, Carrie had the audacity to tell me I was borderline harassing her by calling her and her incompetent paralegal Lisa too much. She literally took my money and vanished into thin air. Carrie Fulton Brown is a trash of attorney. I suffered significantly due to her inaction, and I was left feeling completely abandoned and betrayed. I would strongly advise anyone considering hiring her to look elsewhere. Save your money, save your time, and save yourself the immense frustration and disappointment. She is a disgrace to the legal profession.

Lindsey took over the divorce (with a child) process after our failed attempt to complete everything on our own. I didn't have to worry about what I may be missing or not thinking of; Lindsey did it for us. She made sure everything was considered and was very flexible with how to communicate with myex (letting me do the communicating vs her managing all communications). I am so glad to have the process finalized and behind me. She helped wrap up all the final details, including getting the house officially transferred over after the divorce was finalized. Thank you Lindsey!
Lindsey was referred to me by a friend who had long been divorced but was going through a lawsuit with his ex-wife about additional back payment for their adult child. Lindsey took great care with their situation and managed to have it resolved while avoiding a lengthy trial process.

Lindsey came highly recommended from a family friend, and she does not disappoint.
From the first consultation, every email, phone call and interaction Lindsey has stayed on top of everything! She took on my case helping as if it were her own leaving nothing undiscovered, and discussing every possible option I have. Hiring Lindsey was such a blessing to my family and I during a very tumultuous separation.
She is well versed in family law, while also caring about her clients, giving her an edge when it comes to dealing with the court system and doing whats best for the families. There is no doubt my hearing was as successful as it was, because Lindsey cares about her job and the people she is representing. Hiring her is a benefit to your future

First off, Lindsey is an absolute genius in family law. I consulted with multiple lawyers, Lindsey being the first, and she was the only one willing to fight the opposing attorney for my rights as a FATHER. She took my case knowing I was under an indictment and still didn’t bat an eye at the fight ahead. Not only did she get me essentially 50/50 (12 days a month) she got all the stipulations on my visitation removed and JOINT DECISION MAKING put in place. If you need a lawyer there’s really no other answer. She’ll fight for you every step of the way and get you the most ideal outcome possible. I wouldn’t reccomend anyone else

Leslie did my Estate Plan for me. I had no idea what I needed. She took the time to explain everything, so that I understood and could make decisions that were right for me. She is knowledgeable, and caring towards people. I was anxious at the beginning. I left feeling so much better, and with my Estate Plan done and all in a Beautiful Binder with everything put in there organized. I would recommend Bottimore & Associates to anybody who needs to get an Estate Plan done!

My husband and I hired Leslie after consulting with multiple lawyers about our complicated case seeking de facto parentage of our daughter. De facto parentage is a relatively new statute, and we wanted someone who was knowledgeable about this area of the law and felt confident navigating it. It was very clear from our consultation with her that Leslie was who we needed to tackle our case. It took almost a full year to get to trial, and Leslie and her staff were very supportive, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the whole process. Leslie works tirelessly to fight for her clients. I received many messages from her well after normal office hours when she was reviewing our materials, and she was available for last minute phone calls during our multi-day trial to console us and hear urgent concerns. Leslie won our trial, and we are forever grateful to her for it. We would hire her again in an instant.

Look no further. If you can get her, hire her immediately! Jamie Walker was my second attorney in a complicated divorce/annulment case. After wasting money on an attorney initially, I didn't intend to hire Jamie, only consult her, because I didn't think I could afford her. She impressed me so much with her knowledge, even keeled and pragmatic approach, that I knew I had to hire her no matter the cost. She went right to work, immediately springing into action filing motions and advocating for me. She went above and beyond my expectations. Not once did she waste my time with back and forth emails that could have been quick phones calls. She only communicated and billed when necessary.
This was my first time ever needing an attorney and here is the lesson I learned: When you actually do need an attorney, you cannot afford to choose the "cheaper" option. It will cost you.
Jamie bills higher than most attorneys because she is by far the best, sharpest, most proactive, effective, organized, and brilliant attorney you will find. Her experience and working knowledge impressed me beyond belief. Without Jamie, I do not even want to think about the kind of settlement I would be paying. She has an impressive legal team surrounding her who are equally responsive, proactive, organized, and smart.

Jamie and her team are total experts with family law. I've dealt with a lot of family law attorneys over the past year and a half, so I have some perspective on this. Frankly, the majority I've worked with were incredibly unethical, super untrustworthy and just disinterested in actually following the law, but not Jamie and her team. I do not state this lightly.
She doesn't back down even under a lot of stress on tough cases, her fees were very reasonable, and she's unbiased. She's the real deal, and she works in nearby counties. Don't waste time hiring someone you will just need to fire after they mess up your case and cost you a bunch of money. Go for the real thing.
Also remember, you get what you pay for with family law attorneys. It's not cheap to hire the best. I feel that I got every dime of value from the money I spent hiring her.

We highly recommend Jamie Walker and Kendra Lytle. We had a unique case related to the custody of our niece who was a party to a dependency action. Jamie and Kendra were creative in their approach and skilled in execution. Their hard work resulted in the court granting our motion to intervene in the dependency.

After my attorney dropped the ball on several occasions I had no choice but to find another attorney. A case that definitely needed a seasoned criminal defense attorney. I contacted Beckwith Law, after my conversation with Cristine she agreed to take my case even though it was already months into the process. She immediately grabbed the ball and ran with it. I followed every suggestion she made. I was patient as I knew she was working for me, she kept me updated to all aspects of the case. I trusted her and her decisions for the way things were being handled, I was never left in the dark. She was able to get my charges reduced, an excellent outcome considering what could of been. I was willing to do the work that she suggested and she definitely went the extra mile. Hopefully I will never need a criminal defense attorney again but if I do Beckwith Law will be my first and only choice.

Beckwith Law assisted me in getting a no-contact order modified. It had been over year since the initial no-contact order was issued. Cristine's due diligence and explaining to me why being patient was best before the motion was filed. In my eyes it had been over a year since I was able to have communication with my life partner however, in the courts eyes it had only been four months. She understood that he did everything he needed to do and was able present a good argument to the judge to have the no-contact order lifted four months after his sentencing hearing. If you want an attorney who understands the judicial system and listen to their suggestions on how they handle a case Beckwith Law is an excellent choice.

If you want a lawyer who will hear you fully and fight for exactly what you want then Ron is for you. He and his team helped me fight for what I desired in this divorce. He was honest about everything and made the horrible process of divorce just a little easier. He was upfront the whole time and prepared me for the good and the bad through every step. I felt like I could trust his work and his word and to me that was invaluable. Ron and his team were by my side this whole time and I am beyond thankful.

I’d recommend ensuring that your staff.. whether a secretary, paralegal, or receptionist... has a clear understanding of basic client-facing information. Prospective clients should be able to quickly obtain answers to foundational questions such as:
1. Consultation Fees: Whether the firm charges for an initial consultation and, if so, the amount.
2. Billing Structure: Whether services are billed on a flat fee, hourly rate, or incrementally
3. Retainer Amount: The cost to retain the attorney’s services and the terms of the retainer agreement.
Equipping your staff with this knowledge fosters efficiency, professionalism, and client trust. A well-prepared team ensures potential clients feel valued and confident in their initial interaction with your firm.

I hired Ms. Tuxbury to help me in my quest for freedom from a mistake in my distant past. She was kind, understanding, efficient, and she got the work done more quickly than I thought possible--even with the complication of distance and a court that no longer existed. She kept me updated with every step needed. Now I'm free to live my life. I am most grateful.

Mrs. Catherine Guza was my lawyer from October of 2018 until February of 2020 while I was participating in Family Recovery Court and navigating my way through a DCYF dependency case involving my then 1.5 year old son. There was not a single moment while she was representing me that I felt out of the loop, confused or concerned. Cathy made sure that I understood my rights and that my voice was heard. My son is home with me now and she is a large part of what went into bringing him home. I will forever be grateful to her. Thank you Cathy! You are hands down, the best there is!

Cathie was only on my case briefly due to circumstances beyond our control, however, as soon as I met her I felt comfortable, listened to, and hopeful. She was prompt in responding to me and with court documents needing to be addressed. (I have worked with other lawyers who took their time to get things done and often did not keep the other parties informed of new developments.) Since we couldnt work together on my case, she kindly referred me to another awesome attorney in town. Cathie didn't just leave me stranded without a paddle. That shows integrity, which I appreciate. She also shared thoughts, ideas and a fresh perspective on my situation which also gave me hope. I do often HIGHLY recommend Catherine Case as an attorney when I hear of a need.

Dennis and his team took on my case after I had encountered significant difficulties with less than ethical opposing counsel. It has been a long and challenging journey, marked by numerous obstacles including unethical tactics from opposing counsel and a lack of responsiveness, all compounded by my residing in a different state.
Despite these challenges, Dennis and his team remained steadfast and committed to my case. Their expertise and perseverance ultimately led to a successful outcome, and I am extremely grateful to have my daughter back. I appreciate the dedication and professionalism demonstrated throughout this process.
Thank you for your representation and unwavering commitment to my case.

Extremely grateful to have hired her. She is aggressive and sharp. She has represented me in several traffic cases over the years with great success and she represented my daughter as a minor in a criminal case and was able to bring it to a deferment. She is one of the good ones!

Filing bankruptcy can be a stressful and humiliating time. My husband and I never dreamed we would ever even have to contemplate such a thing, but there we were, facing the harsh reality of a chapter 7. You see, my husband and I have always worked multiple jobs, prided ourselves on being hard workers! I'm an RN and he's an Aircraft Mechanic. But due to circumstances out of our control we found ourselves at David Smiths Law Office, to discuss bankruptcy. Talk about feeling at an all time low. David Smith was amazing! He and his staff walked us through our options. They were kind, non judgmental, knowledgeable, professional, and when he held my hand and told me it was all going to be ok, well I went home, and I just cried. I'm telling you my husband and I will never go to anyone else, because Mr Smiths integrity is such that if he can't help us, we know he will lead us in the right direction, of someone that will! I have already recommended Mr Smith to several of my colleagues because he knows his stuff, he won't feed you pipe dreams, and is the real deal! Finding people today with his integrity, well it's just hard to find. we just want to say thank you David Smith to you and all your amazing supportive staff! Giving you all five stars is not eanough, we give you all ten! You saved us and we just can't thank you all eanough!

Words cannot adequately express my appreciation for Andrew Helland and the team that worked on my divorce at Helland Law Group. This law firm definitely lives up to their motto, "Compassionate Advocates." I would recommend them without hesitation. I could not have asked for better representation during one of the most difficult times in my life. I feel like the cost of my divorce was reasonable and I did not feel nickle and dimed. They came through for me 100% of the time.

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.
