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.

I just had my trust, and durable power of attorney done at Kampbell Legal Planning. I highly recommend these very pleasant and intuitive folk, there. Brianne Kampbell, and her office team were all very helpful with helping me draft a simple and clear document, covering how my estate is to be handled. I am happy that my survivors will not have to go through probate and also that these documents were surprisingly affordable.

Did a great job helping me with the estate planning and preparing all of the legal documents. They answered all of my questions, were very thorough in gettings done, and it didn't take long to get it all done. Also, I found that their prices were reasonable. Would highly recommend.

Since AVVO won’t let me post my actual review I’ll just put how frustrated I was for the whole process. Costs, this divorce without one single in person court hearing was over $12,600. That’s not including his retainer, other attorney’s cost to type up something he claims he knows so much about, and also the mediation cost. Mediation determined 99% of everything, he literally did nothing. He sent me wrong paperwork, charged me incorrectly, misspelled names, called me because he can’t understand emails and charged me his normal rate. Talked down to me like I’m an idiot. He plays the military card, stating he will fight and win. That’s far from the case. Don’t listen to his used car salesman tactics. There is no way these reviews are real, anyone who deals with this guy either doesn’t pay attention or just believes everything he says. Go pay for an attorney who has a paralegal, it’ll cost you way less in the process and you’ll have better representation.

I want to thank Beckwith Law for their amazing work on my case. They were really good at what they do and helped me understand everything clearly. From the start, they looked at all the details and made a plan just for my situation.
They always kept me updated and explained things in a way that made sense, which made me feel confident and involved. Their hard work and smart strategies led to a great outcome for me.
If you need a lawyer who knows their stuff and takes care of their clients, I highly recommend Beckwith Law. Thanks again to the whole team for your fantastic work!

I’d like to preface that I rarely write reviews, unless someone or something was truly extraordinary. Jay Krohn was just that. He went above and beyond for my case; researching, putting together motions, staying in constant contact on next steps and just being honest with me as I went through a really difficult time and a time that was humbling. He was magnificent and exuded confidence in how he was handling my case and allowed me to see all options laid out in front of me. Thank you, Jay! As much as I appreciate all you did, I hope we never work together again 😉☺️. If anyone I know needs legal representation though, I would hands down recommend him.

I recently worked with David and Carly for my divorce case. Their communication was professional and timely, his rates were reasonable, and he represented me well in the way I wanted to be represented, while also looking out for my well-being. David consistently took the high-road whenever given the choice to go low. David holds himself with high integrity in his work.

My fiance and I were both going through separate custody battles this past year, we consulted with multiple attorneys before we were referred to Rob Ricketts. When we initially met with Rob, he advised us that he could help, he gave us a since of security and ease. Rob is absolutely amazing at his job, very thorough, consistent and fair! He listened to us which was uncommon from the 3 previous attorneys we spoke with. I really can't say enough good things about Rob. He showed up with his A+ game at every court date, he was very diligent at explaining the whole process with us and answering any questions we had. I'll add that he won both cases for us and got everything we wanted. Rob has patience and is extremely good at what he does. I would recommend him again and again! Over the whole process he showed us how much he actually cared about our outcome and our children's safety which is really hard to find anymore!! If you want a fantastic lawyer, Rob will not disappoint!!!

We are very grateful to have Andrew, Heather and Debra (Hay and Swann Law Firm) to work on our case. As stressful as it was to go through trial, it was very comforting to have them work with us. Thank you Andrew, for being so caring and so professional at the same time. If there will be need to have legal help for us or our friends we definitively know where to go.

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!

Aimee is a master problem-solver. She is able to meet you where you're at, map out where you want to go and which legal options are available to you.
I've reached out to Aimee for legal consulting with everything from giving an eviction notice to how to structure a new business/Enterprise and she not only offered mindful options but encouraged me to make more mindful decisions as well.
Aimee combines a mindful approach with nimble, legal precision. What more could you want?

I hired Aimee as a consulting attorney. I was representing myself prose. After being jerked around by over priced attorneys I was almost about to give up. But then I found Aimee. She was the most down to earth easy to talk to attorney I’ve ever met. She wasn’t just an attorney she became a friend. She listened. She never gouged me for ridiculous amounts of money. She walked me through everything and held my hand. Her name says it all. A god damn CHAMPION!!!

Mr. Ricketts handled an extremely difficult custody case wherein I was the victim of a crime and the children were the result of it. There can be few instances where compassion meets legal meets crime victim where things can be as emotionally charged nor as high stakes. Mr. Ricketts saw that my children and I were protected and that the best interests and our well being overall was number one. If winning in court is the measure of a good attorney then yes he is a great attorney but the legal, financialand emotional journey is just as important and for these his wisdom and heart far surpass anything one expects in another. Well done counselor.

Spent over 15k for hillary dawn to draft and file initial separation papers and her paralegal filled it out incorrectly and i was charged for that. After that i was charged monthly for her and the paralegal chat briefly in one to one i guess, but no action or communication. 2 continuations literally no action over a year, despite my ex not contesting. Complete waste of money I really needed as a single mom. All i asked for child support so i could aid to leave an abusive situation. She drafted 2 two temp orders and charged me but never filed anything. Heard nothing unless i reached out.

When I think of my time with Cindy Wysocki, Esq., tears of deep gratitude literally come to my eyes as I recall her strength and gentleness, her humor and sharp critical thinking, her willingness to get into the ultimate fighting cage we call the judicial system and her reluctance to throw a punch, and her commitment to fairness and open-hearted compassion. To the lawyer or firm across the virtual table, Cindy must seem formidable and relentless. To me as her client-friend, she was comforting, encouraging, and grounding. I never had to yield my voice or stuff down my questions. AND, Cindy held my concerns and fears, my heightened emotions and (sometimes) clear intuitive insights respectfully while guiding them in positive, productive ways. And best of all, Cindy knew me well enough at the end of a grueling process to be able to then assist and guide me in my needs to safeguard my estate and financial assets to be sure to leave them secure for the ones I love the most. Above all, I am forever grateful to Cindy for accompanying me as a caring fellow human being during one of the most devastating times of my personal life journey. She stayed by my side through unprecedented conditions, with unconditional care and concern, as one of the few who did in my life. Cindy is a legal Bodhisattva!!

I cannot recommend Attorney Patti Steele and The Steele Law Firm highly enough! Over the past six years, she has demonstrated exceptional knowledge and advocacy, providing me with unwavering support during some of the most challenging times in my life. Her tactful and strategic approach to my case truly set her apart from others in her field.
What impressed me the most was her commitment to ensuring my voice was heard throughout the entire process. Patti and her dedicated team went above and beyond, not only offering legal representation but also building a robust network of expertise that was invaluable to my case. They tirelessly worked to reveal the truth and fight for my rights when I felt overwhelmed and ready to give up.
Patti is not just an attorney; she is a truly outstanding professional whose passion for her work shines through in every interaction. Words cannot fully express the level of gratitude and appreciation I have for her and her team. They provided me with the support and advocacy I desperately needed, ultimately saving my life and giving my children the opportunity for a brighter future. Thank you, Patti, for everything you’ve done!

Dennis and his team at Schroader law helped me out of a corner and situation that seemed to be a lost cause for my family and child. My case is complicated like many other cases, but Dennis was able to convince the other party to some agreement and avoid an entire trial.
I highly recommend Schroader Law, especially if you have a complex case. In fact, they are great option in preventing cases to become complex and overwhelming.
Thank you, Dennis and team!

When I think of my time with Cindy Wysocki, Esq., tears of deep gratitude literally come to my eyes as I recall her strength and gentleness, her humor and sharp critical thinking, her willingness to get into the ultimate fighting cage we call the judicial system and her reluctance to throw a punch, and her commitment to fairness and open-hearted compassion. To the lawyer or firm across the virtual table, Cindy must seem formidable and relentless. To me as her client-friend, she was comforting, encouraging, and grounding. I never had to yield my voice or stuff down my questions. AND, Cindy held my concerns and fears, my heightened emotions and (sometimes) clear intuitive insights respectfully while guiding them in positive, productive ways. And best of all, Cindy knew me well enough at the end of a grueling process to be able to then assist and guide me in my needs to safeguard my estate and financial assets to be sure to leave them secure for the ones I love the most. Above all, I am forever grateful to Cindy for accompanying me as a caring fellow human being during one of the most devastating times of my personal life journey. She stayed by my side through unprecedented conditions, with unconditional care and concern, as one of the few who did in my life. Cindy is a legal Bodhisattva!!

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.
