Candace helped me during my divorce, reconciliation, and finally the divorce. What should have been an easy 50/50, turned out to be full custody, no alimony, and I was awarded the girls and child support. Unfortunate but the mother's behaviors left me no choice. Thank you Candace for everything.

I’d like to take my time to write this review to Mr.Eric.
I was dealing with a civil matter, Eric took the time few times a week for me to be prepared in court. When we got there Eric literally destroyed the other party, did a great job and my case was dismissed at the spot.
I do recommend him, he takes the time and let you know ahead of time how things will work out and does not create any false expectations and is a very honest person.
Eric once again, I do highly appreciate your business and services!

I wish I can give zero stars, extremely disappointed with the negligible amount of work put in my case by James.
It was disappointing that nothing was sent out to the State for a month, causing unnecessary delays. No efforts for negotiations were made.
HORRIBLE SERVICE!! He misguided me that if I will go to pretrial or deposition, PTI will be off the table, which was not TRUE!! He wanted easy money without putting any work or effort. He made it very clear that state will NOT drop the charges.
Ultimately, I switched to a female attorney (different firm) who effectively managed my case, she fought for me until the very end. Onboarding her was a game changer and eventually the case was dismissed and charges were dropped prior even heading to the first court hearing.

Mark Sessums helped me with my divorce case, he was kind, understanding, and very efficient. I feel like I was represented very well in depositions and hearings. He made me feel comfortable and confident. If I ever need legal representation again, Mr. Sessums will definitely be my first call. His staff was helpful, kind, and very patient. He won my case, got me everything I wanted and I know my ex wishes he called Sessums first!

I found myself at a point in my life after counseling, therapy, and lots of prayers where divorce was the avenue for me to take. I hired an attorney and started the process to find out after tens of thousands of dollars and wasted time that I needed a different attorney. I began my research and decided I wanted to get the best representation possible regardless of how much it was going to cost. I spoke to retired judges, attorneys, and anyone who might know a bit about the divorce process. I was confident after research that Mark Sessums was my guy. Mark and his team were professional every step of the way. They showed complete loyalty to me and I truly felt his entire team was on my side. Mark and his team showed a personal interest in how I was doing through the entire process. All said and done my divorce was finalized effectively and efficiently. I spent far less on attorney fees than what the research indicated. I am usually not one to offer recommendations for people as people tend to surprise me daily but I would without doubt recommend Mark and his team, they are the best!

I recently utilized the legal services of the Law Office of Jessenia Rosales for a series of traffic tickets and was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The level of professionalism displayed was exceptional. Moreover, I was kept informed at every stage of the process, with regular updates about my case status and any actions that needed to be taken on my end. This level of transparency helped build trust and reassured me that my case was in good hands.
Better yet, the outcomes of my cases exceeded my expectations. The attorney successfully negotiated a reduction in fines and penalties, and in one instance, managed to get a ticket dismissed entirely. This not only saved me money but also spared me from points on my driving record, which was a significant relief.
I would highly recommend the Law Office of Jessenia Rosales to anyone in need of legal services. The combination of professionalism, effective communication, and favorable case outcomes made the entire experience as stress-free as possible.

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.
