If you are reading this review, then you are in the same position I was. I found myself needing legal council and guidance yet I had no attorney and had to turn to the world wide web for help. My initial search led me to a female attorney that robbed me blind and cared about nothing more than the amount of money in her bank account. After financially recuperating I found Mr Rhea. What an amazing example of what the legal system is all about. With an amazing depth of knowledge into the legal process and enough foresight to plan for what our General Magistrate would want to see, we ended up not having to go past the initial hearing. For the first time in longer than I can remember, I was able to put my guard down and know that this amazing example of a true professional had my best interest in mind. Please consider Joshua Rhea for your legal council as I assure you that his clients are his number one priority!

Wow, what an approachable, friendly, and easy to talk to attorney! One of a kind. On our first consultation, Mr. Whitaker took close to an hour of his time explaining the law and the options I had for my situation. A very rare and difficult type of attorney to find anywhere.

Jeff Wiggs is very personable and professional. Recently needed an attorney in a very unfair case. I trusted him completely. He did not disappoint. He's knowledgeable and has a good sense of compassion. Would highly recommend him.

I am beyond grateful to Mr. Wiggs for his exceptional representation of my family member in their recent trial. From the initial consultation to the final verdict, Jeff demonstrated utmost professionalism, expertise, and dedication. His thorough understanding of the case and meticulous preparation resulted in a resounding 'not guilty' verdict.
His calm and confident demeanor put us at ease during a highly stressful time. I highly recommend Jeff Wiggs to anyone seeking top-notch legal defense. His outstanding work has made a significant impact on our lives, and we cannot thank him enough. We are deeply appreciative of his services and will always be grateful for his exceptional legal guidance.

Mr. Wiggs defended me in a case where false accusations were levied against me. It is terrifying to be accused of something you didn’t do. But Jeff advised me every step of the way. He made me feel comfortable as I knew he was experienced in these cases. Unlike other attorneys who would take the easy way out and ask a client to take a plea deal, Jeff did not do this. He was confident we should move forward as we could win the case in trial. At my age, a plea deal would mean the end for me. That was not something I could consider and I am glad I had someone who was truly on my side and fighting for me.
When the trial came, I was well-prepared thanks to all of Mr. Wiggs' invaluable advice and support. I am ecstatic that I was found “not guilty” of the bogus charges against me. I would recommend Jeff to anyone needing a skilled professional in this field. He will get the job done for you!

Mrs. Vinson and Ms. Terry were a pleasure to work with on a family adoption. My case was slightly unusual and they were able to help me through the necessary steps for a successful adoption. They were always available to answer questions! I highly recommend them.

Was very thrilled to read the outstanding reviews. Helping a friend of mine I began calling around & I reached out. I was shocked when they told me ( within the 1st 60 seconds) $500 for a consultation and a $20k retainer fee upfront before accepting any type of child custody or parental rights case. Such a shame the kids in moderate to low income situations will never have the benefit of representation from such a great law firm. One more thing money CAN buy; your child's rights.
*Edit ; as requested.
While I understand the message of " you get what you pay for " that you are trying to convey, that message has no bearing on my original review or interaction with this firm. In fact, I feel like this response just confirms my original statement.
Once the well rehearsed statement of upfront fees was given ( the next statement after the greeting ) perhaps a mention of how to find affordable options, self help libraries or alternative resources available for families in need would have made me feel like that paragraph you wrote about giving back to the community ( for reasons outside of gain) would be true and this review wouldn't exist.
I would like to remind you I still give credit to the talent in this firm. I called here for a reason. Reviews are about experiences you have with the location or business & this was mine. I am not the only one who has experienced this. I hope sharing my experience may give us all a voice and, in a perfect world, make a small change for the better.

This was the first law firm I consulted with for my divorce. My consultation was with David Allen,that cost $100 for a video consultation, not in person. I do understand due to the pandemic things change. I explained my situation to Mr Allen and I answered some questions that seemed a bit odd and made me feel uncomfortable. Instead of making me feel confident in wanting them to represent me I was left with more questions. Mr Allen also said he would send me a message with detailed information on the cost and process of the divorce and he never did. He tried twice to do that while we were still on video. I’m not sure if he pretended to do so because I never heard back. Definitely made it easier for me not to choose this law firm.

Not enough words to express how pleased that I hired Tim Keough. He is extremely honest and and his integrity is totally transparent. He was completely dedicated to my case all the way through. He listened and explained all of my options. And even worked with me the cost of everything. Totally upfront and kept me aware of everything. My case was resolved quickly and came out with a positive outcome.

If you are looking for an attorney to assist you in your divorce, Mr. Keough is the way to go! He is very knowledgeable about the law relating to divorce, child custody, etc. As the law can be complicated and emotions are high, he answers all questions in a way you can comprehend. Mr. Keough is the best attorney. Highly recommend.

In April of 2022, I lost two sons in a car accident.
July of 2022 after being harassed since April, 3 days after two of my son's died April 16th my four and two years old, dcf decided to begin to harass me. Immediately I start contacting mr cartelli, before the boys were taken in July I had informed him by hysterical emails documenting everything going on before even retaining him, I retained him a few days after their removal. I have listened to each word he's suggested and I am trusting him to keep his word so far he has.
He is very caring, a very good person to retain as an attorney because he doesn't do this for the money he does this mostly because he wants to help and he cares.
He does email back, he does call back. He's very welcoming to surprise drop ins, he always finds time to talk with me. Unlike a big law firm he's one person, against an entire court room. Trust him, what he says. If you retain him in the end youll be happy.

Mr Cartelli will no fight for you. He didn't care about my case, didn't answer my calls, and didn't discuss with me what i really need and finally didn't respect my desire, favor the other part.

Hired Steve to represent me in a divorce. He accomplished absolutely nothing. Gave my ex everything she wanted. He was afraid to face her or her attorney.

Hired Steve for representation, in my opinion he basically was not due diligent in his efforts. As a result I wound up with a bad plea deal and a lot of misrepresentation. He also wanted to trade services and we did but he never refunded me the money he initially took. Look when you need an attorney perhaps for the most important time of your life you need an aggressive attorney who will fight for you every step of the way. I am sorry to say Steve Birr is not that kind of attorney. You will mostly find yourself taking a plea deal due to the lack of confidence Steve instills.

I hired Mr. Remsen to finish a family law case I’d been fighting on my own for a year. He did exactly what I asked him to do and got the case close in one hearing, a couple motions. I paid him $5000, which I was under the impression was a retainer. Out of that only $2000 was used. When the case was closed I assumed I’d receive the remaining $3000. After months of emailing the firm I was told that I wouldn’t be receiving that money back, it was their money. So basically I he made out like a bandit on my case. BEWARE. Read the contract! At the time of hiring him I was extremely distressed and basically at the end of my rope with my case. I was tricked. I was never TOLD that money couldn’t be returned. It was snuck into the paperwork. Very disappointing. He did what get what I needed done so that’s why he’s getting two stars but I worn you. Don’t hire this man thinking you won’t be robbed.

David Cauthen staff miswrote my QDRO (401K) Settlement, it was suppose to be 50% (acquired during the marriage) and I was only award 18%. With no response to communication for over 18 months. QDRO communicated the direction to correct the error, again no response. It was sent to judge for signature without my signature. My divorce took over 3.5 years as we split acreage I needed to get access (easement) to the parcel I was keeping, today I am land locked with no access. I have a small herd of Black Angus Cows which need to be feed and attended to. I've lost my 1st calf (in 13 years), and the cows busted a water pipe on the barn and now I have paid over 500 in electric bills. And most likely my well is shot. I took a boat across lake to access the property. I have documentation that I came with all the money (from real estate) to purchase and develop land. This attorney got me no financial support (I was injured during marriage). David Cauthen is nothing but a quick settlement lawyer. He does not work for his clients needs. He also was my SSDI Attorney, and Lost that case too! Do not use this attorney if you want to win!

I use the word attorney loosely, do not use this man. He represented me in a case and made mistakes, not one but mistakes after mistakes. He was litigating a case for me for a year, collecting $15,000 and the case is no farther one year later from when he started. His office does not return emails and phone calls besides over billing and double billing.

Mr. Cauthen has represented me for many years in both corporate matters as well as personal matters.

I paid my retainer, then attempted contact, phoning four different days. On fourth request told her paralegal I had to let her go. Less than an hour later I received a phone call from Ms. Balmer but stated I felt that was no way to begin a professional relationship. I was charged almost $600 plus $275 for initial consultation and she had never even filed the notice of appearance as my attorney.

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.
