Family-related legal issues are often an emotional rollercoaster. Shanin is personable, understanding, and patient with her clients. She explains the processes. When seeking help in family-related issues you may be emotionally vulnerable. You can trust Shanin to guide you with expertise. She will keep you focused because she tries to be cost-conscious. Shanin is experienced and knowledgeable and will advocate for you. Her fees are reasonable. I can tell you from my own experiences that some attorneys I have encountered do not demonstrate any genuine desire to fight for their clients as they should, or even as thoroughly as they should. Shanin Turner is not one of those types of attorneys. She responds to me in a timely manner, and she explains things to me in easy-to-understand terms. I trust Shanin Turner to represent my best interests in all family-related legal actions and I highly recommend her.

I love Shanin! If you are looking for a lawyer who will fight for you, Shanin is your woman! She is kind, to the point, gives great advice and is very respectable. I love that she can intimidate "the others" just with her presence in the room. Shanin is awesome!

A friend of mine referred me to a lawyer, for advice, who specialized in child custody law suits, it was Shanin Turner. During that brief discussion, Shanin was direct and to the point on actions that were needed in our case. We did not retain her at that time but 6 months later we did. She understood our challenges both personal, legal and how to proceed. We needed someone to fight for us during this difficult time and Shanin did. She's professional, insightful and honestly, she's a tiger. My wife and I are so grateful we had her represent us. Thank you!

Mr. Fischer helped me through my divorce with a child. He was God sent, he put up a good fight in court and got exactly what I asked for when it came to the custody and child support. He really answers everything you are curious about, and he will tell you how it is if it’s not reasonable. He was always a call or text away and helped my daughter and I through so much. Very grateful and thankful for his services. Not to mention his doggos, they helped a lot through the case too.

Not only did he work with me on the money side he won my case by a land slide, I was absolutely blown away and so very grateful and thankful for all of his help.

James has a unique way of quietly and confidently crafting a story that incorporates the law and is interwoven in the specifics of the case that leave opposing counsel clueless of what direction he is taking. He is brilliant at strategizing and understanding the unique nature of each individual case and made sure he addressed every issue of my case in a strategic and methodical manner. I have never experienced another attorney so skilled at managing case details so effectively. PLUS, he did not charge me for my initial consultation.

I used Julie a few years ago to handle my divorce. I had been married for over 25 years, and in the course of finding her had consulted with about 6 other divorce/family law attorneys. I felt like the feedback that I was getting from the other attorneys was suspect, and even in some cases designed to drive up their fees. After consulting with Julie, I knew immediately that I had found the right attorney. I felt like she truly cares about her client, and is not just looking for ways to extend the process and therefore increase the fee. I would definitely recommend her!

She is super-sharp, could answer questions that were involved and didn't have a simple yes/no answer, provided great guidance on what to expect, when, how various things might play out, and how the various judges in Travis County might view the facts of the case. On top of that, she's a great negotiator - she was in total command of all the numbers during mediation and was able to give solid counterarguments during that process, and she had rapport with the mediator. She also was quick to respond and ensure that all my questions were answered throughout my entire case, be it via email, phone calls, or office visits.

I hired Dr. Jones during an ugly custody battle. As a father, I felt my concerns/points were not being taken seriously by the courts and my ex wife was playing the abused wife victim card even though the mental/physical abuse was actually done to me. Dr. Jones worked 24/7 on my case and was available to me 100% of the time. He basically held my hand and walked me through every step of the process. He brought in things our prior attorney (who had told me I would only get standard possession if courts believed me). Thanks to Dr. Jones, i am now the primary custodian of my children with 50/50 visitation for both parents. As a father, I can now help protect my kids and it is all thanks to Dr. Jones. There is no other attorney i would want to have fighting in my corner. Even now, he makes himself available to me whenever i have a question or concern. His rates were very fair considering the time and dedication he gave to me.

I was relieved, but he prepared me for the fight ahead. He was diligent and persistent. He prepared a contingency plan for different possibilities and prepared the groundwork. It was a lot of work, but the outcome was worth it. I would recommend him as he is passionate about winning and fighting the good fight!

I had an evaiding in a moter vehicle. Which is a felony charge. I had a trial set. Ms. Jones fought a good fight and my case was DISMISSED!!! I really thank you Ms. Jones for representing me.

Ms. Jones is arguably the best attorney I had the pleasure of being helped by. Not only was she extremely professional and well-mannered the entire duration of the case, but she fought long and hard to get my case dismissed. She made sure to gather all details and find every possible solution in order for me to receive the best and most fair outcome. She did not judge or belittle me in any way and always made sure I was well informed about the details of my case. She is well versed in criminal law and strives to represent all clients regardless of how she was appointed in the most fair and efficient way possible. I truly thank her for her services and adore her hard work and attitude. Ms. Jones is definitely someone I would contact again for legal services no matter the outcome because I know she will fight her hardest until the very end to get a fair verdict for all parties.

With my extensive criminal record Miss Jones went above and beyond to get my case settled with my satisfaction. Not only is she professional but she also knows the law. I thank God for sending her to me and will always be grateful for her care and concern. Today if anyone should ever need an attorney to represent them I will always tell them about Miss Jones.

I was charged with DWI (1st offense), and for a serious offense one needs strong legal representation. I was fortunate to have Alison Smith represent me. She is highly knowledgeable, with a dose of tenacity and tact. A professional attorney with a strong presence who had a good grasp of my situation while, maintaining her patience as court proceedings are daunting and time consuming. Excellent in communication as she relayed in timely manner activities to fulfill my court obligations/prerequisites/procedures before attending the court. Importantly, I was able to secure my Drivers License from the very get go which could have immobilized me that could have vastly affected my family. My charges were reduced. I would definitely recommend her. Thank you Alison!

In dealing with a time crunched surprise from the ex wife stating I would not get my kids for my visitation with absolutely no legal grounds. I was limited on time and living out of state I needed to get home. Not only did Miss Gordon go above and beyond she successfully got me my children only 2 days late. So within 4 days of consulting with her and her guiding me and my ex wife's lawyer on legality I now get to spend my summer visitation in our new home in Alabama. My kids get to shoot, fish, hunt, camp. They get to be boys with their dad and I owe this all to her. She even checked up on us out the kindness of her heart. I owe her all this time im getting. I deal with this at least twice a year with my ex wife and I can honestly say this is my first timely victory. Miss Gordon's legal knowledge and even more so her heart far surpassed expectations.

During that process, I was very pleased with how responsive he was to my questions, whether by email or by phone. When I had a case for another family member, I did not give a second thought as to who I was going to consult. Howard has continued to be very responsive to my questions, following up on any issues I may have. I sincerely appreciate all the help and professionalism that Howard has shown me.

Reached out to Mr. Longino for assistance for a very, very difficult child support case between two states. After two TX, and two California attorney's, and no end in sight because of the difficulty of my case, Mr. Longino was very knowledgeable in this area and was able to assist and get us closer to the finish line that we had never been in 4 years. As frustrated as I have been going from court in CA, TX, and back to CA, I am now better prepared to fight this battle with the help from Mr. Longino. If I ever need a TX family attorney in the Houston area, I will 100% retain Mr. Longino and will most certainly refer him to my family and friends. I 100% vouch for this attorney.

She is smart, experienced, and invaluable to have on your side and has an amazing assistant. Through it all she explained the processes, was honest and didn’t sugar coat anything, she helped me keep focus on the overall goal by looking at the facts and helped me not to give in to overwhelming emotion as this type of case brings out. She successfully handled my case, and words could never express my gratitude to the amazing work she did for us. I would highly recommend Jennifer if you are in need of excellenct representation.

My wife and I retained Ms. Goldman to help us in obtaining guardianship (aka Conservatorship) of our godson. It was a very detailed and unusual case, involving coordination with Juvenile Justice and serving papers to a very unwilling party. Ms. Goldman and staff were thorough in behind the scenes needs and when it came to the trial, she was superb. We happily won permanent guardianship and now have a chance to give our godson the bright future he deserves.

Publicly I have know shame but there is a child in question and I firmly believe that our Lord put me in the direction of Mrs. Hutton for a reason. She was straight forward about it but at the same time listened to my concern and was willing to go above and beyond. I feel she was honest and caring. She doesn't seem focused on the financial side of things but more so the care and building her clients up the right way. I am not in a position at the moment to swing this hammer but as soon as my ducks are in a row this amazing attorney is who I will be choosing. Sometimes our prayers our answered in ways we never expect even if it takes 12 years. Genesis 12:3 "I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed". What she is capable of doing and will do for many is a blessing and I pray you many blessings so you may continue to help and guide others as it is needed. Ma'am, I am pleased to have met you. I look forward to working with you in the very near future. I did not read reviews on Mrs. Hutton, it felt right. After speaking with her, I know it is right. If you need an attorney and a friend, you are looking in the right pace. She believes in me and I believe in her.

She will not properly represent you, know the facts of your case , fight for you, communicate via any form,remember anything you've told her, and WILL WORK WITH THE OPPOSING PARTY.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you and for working tirelessly to ensure that we did not lose this case. If it weren’t for your background and knowledge, the matter wouldn’t have been settled by now. Thanks once again for being so persistent, focused and professional. I can finally have closure and peace! I am forever grateful to you and your team!!

“I was referred to Roger G. Jain & Associate by Prepaid Legal Services to handle my divorce case. Mr. Thomas Smith listened well to my initial conversation of why I was seeking a divorce. This gave me the confidence to proceed with him. Thomas has been very informative, knowledgeable, professional and forward thinking. He got me the best Mediator in Houston to work on my case. I was forced into a divorce after 34 years of marriage which include adultery and an illegitimate child. I am grateful and appreciative for the outcome and the time frame of completion even with COVID. I truly appreciate you Thomas for the time you listen, talk and make things happen. I will definitely hire Roger G. Jain & Associate again."

Interestingly enough I met atty Daniel Grey on an off chance. He was at mediation that I was not a party to, and I was in the building for other reasons. As we crossed paths and began speaking he gave me his business card and said something to the effect of “you never know when you may need my services”. As I walked away I thought ‘how did he know’. Long story short within 6months I needed his services. That was about 13 years ago. He not only was a great attorney but he advocated for all sides which is not like many family law attorneys. He helped me see things from my child’s perspective and my spouse at the time. In doing so it made the divorcing with children much more smoother for all parties involved. Over the years I have referred over a dozen of friends & colleagues to him during their time of need and he has always shown great detail and concern to them in the same manner he showed to me. I am only writing this review now because I recently referred someone to him. Though he could not represent the guy due to the county he lived in he still took the time to call him after work hours and be a calming voice and help him him understand the process, ease his mind and refer him to two other lawyers that specialized in that county. I am blown away by this. No charge and he gained nothing other than respect and this review. So many other lawyers won’t even talk to paying clients during the day and a night call is not a thing. So for Daniel to do this was going beyond the pale. I am so thankful for our chance encounter all of those years ago and all the help he has provided to me and to all that have been referred. If you want a lawyer who shoots straight and treats each client even opposing counsel as family & friend to work on a fair settlement he is your guy. This is not about money for him, he truly cares. Thank you Atty Gray. Your father was a great mentor to you. You’re appreciated.

Daniel is the best family attorney I have ever dealt with. He has been my family attorney for almost a decade. There is no one I trust more to have my back when it comes to my kids. He will shoot it straight with you, it is not about the money for Daniel, its about you and the kids. I would and have recommended Daniel to anyone looking for the BEST family attorney. I would give more than 5 stars if it were possible.

Stephen was so professional from the start. He listened to my concerns and lessened my stress about the situation. Throughout the waiting period before trial he was always very responsive, helpful, and caring to what I needed and what was the best course of action for my situation. At trial he was on top of his game, clear and well prepared. We needed up winning and my daughters future is protected and my stress is gone. Thank you personally Stephen for your hard work and keeping your word- for a single mom you were the biggest help and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to thank you for everything you did for my family and I.

Working with Lisa is very comforting for my cousin during a very painful divorce process. She worked extremely well with the opposing counsel and took our requests to the table to attain a winning outcome in a very frustrating divorce. I appreciate the work she did for us and hands down will recommend her in the future!!

I contacted Ms Garza to handle a change in custody for one of my two sons, who both lived with their mom after I moved out of the immediate area after said son had issues with his mom's husband. I thought I had a horrible uphill battle ahead of me, until she represented me. Lisa broke it down for me what we could do, and I could tell right away I made the right decision. Her name alone let's the other side know you didn't come to screw around. She is dynamite, aggressive yet personable to her clients, and her associate and office staff are first class. I never had to worry about a phone call or question not being answered or returned. She gave me great guidance, and made suggestions that suited my son and me for now and in the future. She is no non-sense with her approach, and it seems most opposing attorney's are more than willing to work with her toward a mutual solution, but never did she compromise what mattered most to me. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone about to take the monster of divorce on, especially with children involved. I was made to feel like she had no other clients in the world, that I was the only one. I was so grateful I had the opportunity to retain Ms. Garza, and you will be too. She is fantastic to negotiate outside the court room, but if it comes to needing an in court force to be reckoned with, it's Ms. Garza.

I have unfortunately been in family court too many times, but Wendy Wood is by far the best, most prepared, smart board certified family lawyer I have ever experienced, and one whom I can say earned EVERY dollar. If you want the best you are going to pay for it. In Wendy's case it is completely worth it. Her legal assistant Alanna is brilliant as well, and I would recommend her to anyone who can afford and wants the best. Many good family lawyer charge a lot. Wendy is great!

I was referered to Ms.Rowland by a another attorney who felt that she was a better fit for my case. My case started out as a CPS case with a protection order later added. Ms.Rowland on our 1st court date won and my custody order remained unchanged. Then instead of having to attend court the next day over a protective order she was able to get that withdrew and held mediation instead which resulted only in minimal changes. Ms.Rowland was always very upfront with me and always gave me the choices of very best outcome or the worst outcome. She was always a phone call away no matter the day or time. As a mother also she would sit and let me cry and just listen she truly understands and is truly all in with her clients. Her fees are reasonable and she explains that fully in your consultation. If you are in need of a family attorney and someone who will listen and fully represent you in court then Ms. Rebecca Rowland is your attorney.

I spent several weeks researching family law attorneys. I spoke with several of them by phone and even had a consultation with one. I was about to give up on my search and go it alone until I spoke with Rebecca Rowland. Our initial conversation by phone was very professional and she actually spent more time with me by phone then another attorney had done in a face to face consultation. She asked all the right questions and her compassion was genuine. When you discuss your case with her you know without a shadow of a doubt she knows family law! She was very honest about what I could and could not expect with my situation. She made sure we had both reviewed all aspects of the case and knew what outcome we wanted. Ms. Rowland kept my best interest at heart and she fought for what was fair. Her rates were reasonable and her hard work and compassion was outstanding!!

All thanks to Mr. Pete Schulte! Never having been in a predicament with the law, I was incredibly sacred and nervous when I walked into Mr. Schulte's office for my initial meeting. However, I walked out feeling relieved. He assured me of his goal to have my case dismissed, all while making it clear what to expect in any event. And thereafter all communication was very prompt and direct. Due to Covid my case was pending for a long period, but Mr. Schulte never failed to personally provide a quick response or update. This gave me great peace of mind over the past couple years. And though I was extremely happy to learn my case had been dismissed recently, I was not surprised! I plan to solicit Mr. Schulte's services again in expunging my record completely. I am not one to usually leave a review, but I can't thank Mr. Schulte enough!

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
