I was an absolute mess while trying to find an attorney for my divorce. I felt a connection to Soheyla the moment we spoke and that put my mind a bit more at ease. As we worked through the heartbreaking process, Soheyla and her team were my calm in the storm. Every step of the way, I was made to feel that my opinion and rights were never going to be taken lightly. Soheyla and her team are now my friends for life.

Soheyla and her team were wonderful. I was a nervous wreck when going through a custody case and wasn’t sure what to expect or gain out of. They are patient and thorough as to what you are wanting to attain and provide you with the pros and cons to every outcome that may arise. Soheyla and her team are very attentive and responsive during my case. Any questions that you had, they will find answer to it. She is affordable and they actually work with you if in need. Soheyla is very knowledgeable and will not mislead you to anything, she’s very direct and straight forward, which I love!!!! If I were going through this again, in which I hope I don’t, she will be the one I call.

I am beyond grateful for the incredible support I received from Robert Tsai, a Board Certified Family Law Attorney referred to me by Jamie. To say he's amazing is an understatement; he's been an absolute blessing during one of the toughest periods in my life. Robert's responsiveness, thoroughness, and genuine care have been nothing short of extraordinary. In a world where I've felt unheard and struggled for real assistance, Robert stood out. He took the time to ask meaningful questions, truly understanding my situation and concerns. His responses were not just legal jargon; they were genuine, heartfelt, and filled with a compassion that's rare to find in the legal realm. I've navigated through numerous lawyers, desperately seeking help, but Robert's authenticity set him apart. He didn't give me a runaround or sugarcoat things. Instead, he provided concrete, real-world solutions, ensuring that I felt seen, heard, and supported. This review will never be enough to express the depth of my gratitude. Robert not only guided me legally but also offered a compassionate hand that made a world of difference for me and my family. I genuinely hope that life showers him with all the success and blessings he deserves for being the remarkable and compassionate professional that he is. Thank you, Robert, for being a true guardian angel during a challenging chapter of my life.

Robert is truly an exceptional attorney. When I needed his services, I believe I reached out to him on a Friday. He went out of his way to provide a consultation over the weekend even when he should be spending time with family. I immediately knew I was in good hands and did not hesitate to retain Robert for my divorce case. Throughout this truly uncomfortable situation, each contact with Robert reminded me that I had made a good choice. We made out very well with my settlement and I am ear to ear with smiles knowing that the choice to work with Robert was the right one. I’ve since referred Robert several times and will continue to refer him to anyone I know who needs the right attorney. Highly recommended. Thank you, Robert. You were a life saver.

The others didn’t come close, but I could tell very quickly Chris was intelligent, professional, had a great deal of expertise in family law, had integrity and was not afraid to fight for what was right. He was the right attorney for the job. Then I saw all the 5 star reviews and knew I had made the right choice.

Kristine is hands down the best attorney I've worked with. Unlike other lawyers I've dealt with, Kristine really cares. She's not just doing a job; she puts her heart into it, and it shows. It's like she's tackling the case as if it were her own problem, paying attention to every little detail and nailing the argument. What really sets Kristine apart is how she combines her sharp mind with genuine kindness. She's super smart and on top of things, but also really takes the time to understand and accommodate your needs. It’s not every day you come across an attorney who actually takes a special interest in your case like it's something personal to them. Kristine's attention to detail was exemplary. She meticulously crafted the case, ensuring every aspect was thoroughly considered and eloquently presented. This level of dedication was not just limited to the legal strategy but extended to her interactions with me. Kristine's intelligence and caring nature shone through as she guided me through every step, accommodating my needs and paying special attention to the nuances of my situation. Her ability to connect on a human level, paired with her professional expertise, made my legal journey less daunting. It’s really rare to find an attorney who combines such personal warmth with professional competence. Kristine’s work not only yielded positive outcomes but also provided a sense of comfort and trust during the process. If you need someone who's not just all about the law but also about the people, Kristine's your go-to. she stands out as the best, a true gem in the legal profession. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat. She's more than just a lawyer; she's a real person who gets it, and that made all the difference for me.

When I reached out to Mrs. Pierce Nichols, I was distraught, for I had done what a lot of women do. I had trusted a man to look out for me instead of looking out for myself. I saw no way out of the horrible situation I was in. Mrs. Pierce Nichols was very caring. Very encouraging and very sympathetic. She reassured me that everything would be okay. She was very professional. On my first visit I felt very welcomed and I felt like I was talking to an old friend. She explained everything in detail. She made sure, I understood what would happen step by step. There was never a time that I could not get in touch with her. Whether it was a small question or a huge situation, she was always there for me.

I had never used a lawyer before, and was going through divorce after 17 years in the relationship. Mark balanced patience and urgency with me during a deeply challenging time. He handled my divorce and custody terms with incredible pragmatism. My emotions were all over the place! When discussing specific options, he was awesome at keeping my mind focused on what I needed in the decree and how to manage going forward. There were a number of more complex terms, and he was intentional in explaining things to me as well as how the language works in these documents. Mark was always responsive, prompt and engaged when we communicated. He had a manner of both literal thinking and compassion, which is a rare mix. I still have his voice in my head sometimes when I lose track, and it has been a few years since my divorce. Hey Mark, thanks for keeping a cool head through my hot mess of a divorce!

Thanks to him, we successfully closed the case, ensuring the safety of the relationship between my daughter and me.

I had the great pleasure of having Ms. Kennedy represent me in my divorce. A friend recommended her. I had been married for 45 years and my wife was disabled, the marriage ended due to my ex-wife's infidelity. I have various 401k savings from different employers, annuities, bank accounts and military retirement. All said and done, Ms. Kennedy negotiated the deal of a lifetime for me. I did NOT have to pay any alimony and I only had to give up twenty five percent of my military retirement and nothing else. I kept 100 percent of everything else. The process of going through a divorce is something that I would not wish on anyone. But things happen and if you find yourself going through a divorce, I cannot say enough great things about Ms. Kennedy and her whole staff. Every email, phone call, or message was usually answered within thirty minutes. There is not another attorney that I would want to represent me if I had to go through another divorce.

Like this? If you are going through a complicated divorce and having the misfortune to have to appeal a judge’s decision, I highly recommend you to hire John Kappel (Fox Rothschild, LLP) as your appeal attorney. Through this unpleasant experience, I learned that “only between 5% to 15 % of the thousands of appellate cases cited by the United States Courts, are successful, depending on the specific type of appeal.” Therefore, it is crucial that your attorney knows how to build a strong and comprehensive case to beat your opponent in an appeal. John possesses the expertise and the clear knowledge that are needed during this challenging time. I am writing this to extend my heartfelt thanks for the exceptional legal representation John has been provided me.

I've been working with Dorothea for about a year on an appeal of a complex child custody case. First of all, Dorothea is not a "Yes-Man". She will tell you bluntly if she believes your case has slim or no odds of succeeding. And better to hear that at an initial consultation with her than after you've invested thousands of dollars just to be told 'no' by someone else. Dorothea told me the odds of success in my case were not great. It's the nature of appeals. I felt so strongly that a wrong had been done to me that I decided to proceed anyway, even with her telling me at our initial consultation that the odds were against me. As my appeal nears its conclusion, she's produced a brief for me that I'm very proud of that I feel presents the issues as succinctly as she could in only 15,000 words. After retaining her services, Dorothea put in countless hours reviewing court transcripts, thousands of pages of medical records, and interviewing witnesses. Five years had passed in between the time this case was opened and the time it went to trial. There was a lot for Dorothea to catch up on and not much time for her to get up to speed. To further complicate matters, my trial attorney had a family emergency that prevented him from being much help in the transition to Dorothea as my appellate attorney. Despite all of the obstacles and difficulties, she was able to get a grasp on what had happened. She was able to see from a legal perspective how my rights had been violated at trial whereas I had only my belief that this was not how "justice" was supposed to work. I wasn't able to see the forest for the trees until Dorothea made me step back and showed it to me. Because of her patience, her diligence, her enthusiasm for the law and for issues of social justice, I have hope where before I only had a prayer. Dorothea's mental agility and tenacity are the things I appreciate most about her in the courtroom. At every court appearance, she has always had a Plan A, a Plan B and a Plan C. I suspect if we ever need a Plan D, she would probably pull one of those out of her hat, too. For example, when Dorothea had critical evidence she wanted to get into the record on my behalf, she had that evidence ready to present in multiple different formats to ensure it got into the record. She didn't just give up the first time she was told 'no', as has been my experience with other attorneys, but fluidly shifted to her backup strategies to get that evidence into the record. I intend to continue working with Dorothea even after our business with the appeal is concluded and can't recommend her highly enough.

Thank you sir Thompson for your proactivity, your transparency and honesty. I recommend him 100000%.

While it seemed a fairly simple, cut and dry, 50/50 scenario in my head, it didn't start off that way. But even with the hurdles thrown our way, this team stood beside me the entire way and kept me optimistic. I am extremely grateful for Ken Aube, Erika Gonzales and the other staff at Natalie Gregg for their fantastic communication and consideration of my time when dealing with my case. I would absolutely recommend this firm for their outstanding services.

What I like about Sarah Rose and her assistant, Danielle was that They are fast and responsive. I was in a bad situation with domestic violent, got CPS involved. They got me Protect Order right at the moment where I needed the most. I thought my case would take awhile to finalized but It resolved at the time where it should be. I got what I was asking for. The whole process was smooth. Despite the fact that I was very busy with unexpected things that threw at my way, they were patient with me. I would recommend the firm.

Neil represented me in a rather complicated divorce case. He did an outstanding job and I highly recommend him. One kind advice: do tell him the whole story so he can present your case as thorough as possible. Do not hold back in conversations with him as you may think it is embarrassing or perhaps not that relevant. Neil will decide that for you and handle possible obstacles the best way.

Neil has been amazing through my process. He is professional and easy to talk to. Neil was able to guide me through the very frustrating situations showing me my options and most importantly helping me when what I needed most was patience and trust (which is hard for me). We had numerous changes from opposing team and Neil navigated through it explaining everything to me as he nailed it! Neil is very knowledgeable about the law, the process and most importantly- he is great working with opposing council. I would highly recommend Neil and his excellent staff. Many thanks to Valerie for her patience with my relentless check ins.

Mr. Moore was amazing and very detailed in all his ways of communication. Every question I had during the process was answered and explained if I had any confusions. He was prompt with our meetings and replied back to the other party as soon as they replied. He fought for what was right and very knowledgeable when it comes to the laws of divorces. I would highly recommend him and actually have to a friend of mine who is going through a divorce.

I hired Hilton last year to help navigate my way through a divorce which was my first and hopefully last one I'll go through. You can imagine the kind of strength, guidance, and support needed to get through a divorce. My case was complicated with very stubborn other party. We were able to finalize everything on court day with fair deal with the help of his excellent mediation skills since other party also had very strong attorney. His professionalism was beyond reproach and not only got me across the finish line but helped me from myself making dumb choices. During an emotional time like this, a lady definitely needs someone with a level head on her side and he was this 100%. Hilton is a very knowledgeable attorney and was very helpful on my case. I always felt informed and protected. Fair pricing too. I highly recommend.

My husband and I were in a horrific accident that resulted in a near head on collision that completely totaled our truck and travel trailer. The insurance company for the driver, Elephant insurance, refused to pay some of the medical bills to include plastic surgery for the scars on my face, and repeatedly ignored my calls and emails over a two year period in an attempt to run through to the statute of limitations. I couldn’t find an attorney that would take my case. All with excuses, but with only one week to the deadline, I searched again and had the great fortune of finding and retaining Ms Hazel. All I can say is, wow. She jumped right in and investigated every possible avenue to get this situation resolved, to include my own insurance company that withheld funds. This is a gal that knows what she is doing and not afraid to go after those responsible. I’m in awe, and will absolutely recommend her to my family and friends. I hope I’m never in a situation like this again, but if I am, she will be my first phone call.

I had the pleasure of working with Russell Amsberry from the Amsberry Law Firm for my recent divorce proceedings, and I cannot speak highly enough of his professionalism and dedication. From the moment I reached out to the firm, I felt like my case was in good hands. Russell Amsberry demonstrated a level of care and empathy that truly set him apart. Going through a divorce is undoubtedly one of the most challenging experiences one can face, but Russell guided me through every step of the process with patience and understanding. He took the time to listen to my concerns and priorities, and he always made sure I was well-informed about my options. One of the things I appreciated most about working with Russell was his ability to set realistic expectations. He didn't sugarcoat the situation or make promises he couldn't keep. Instead, he provided honest and straightforward advice, which allowed me to make informed decisions about my case. Throughout the entire process, Russell Amsberry remained accessible and responsive. He promptly answered my questions and addressed any concerns I had, which helped alleviate much of the stress associated with divorce proceedings. Thanks to Russell's expertise and guidance, I was able to navigate the complexities of the legal system with confidence. I am incredibly grateful for his support during this difficult time, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and compassionate divorce attorney.

For a family matter, I picked Mr. Russell Amsberry because he not only answered the phone on the first contact, but also listened to our case and was real, empathetic, and educated. We were ready to make a call once he provided us with an estimate and discussed the scenario. His retainer cost was reasonable, and his staff was kind and knowledgeable.

My sister and I engaged Jacqueline in January to represent us in a CPS investigation after my 6 year old niece was placed under a 30-day safety plan while my sister underwent alcohol detox and therapy. This was our first interaction with CPS. We used employer-provided services rather than the onerous services demanded by CPS. CPS threatened numerous times to move my niece into foster care. They also threatened a legal motion to participate in their services. They even claimed that they didn't have to talk to a legal representative. We would never have been able to navigate this process without Jacqueline, who is an expert not only in the law, but in the ways that CPS will try to manipulate and threaten. Jacqueline made the case that CPS services and involvement were not needed beyond the 30 days. My niece returned home after 30 days, and as of 3 months later, CPS has taken no further action. Jacqueline will fight for you and execute a plan with the highest probability of success. She will navigate the maze of CPS that you can’t see. We are completely satisfied and highly recommend Jacqueline.

We’ll certainly be retaining Kriebel Law in the future.

Serena Hudson is bar none the best and the brightest. This is one of many reasons why I have gone back to her multiple times for council, strategic approach and case handling regardless of which law firm she resides. Serena always goes above and beyond to map out the best solution forward, relentlessly pursuing what is best for me and not just looking to get paid. Often times these situations are difficult to navigate, and they have been. With Serena's knowledge, experience and grit I am beyond thrilled at the outcome of my cases. All my questions are answered and concerns are alleviated. Her creativity and knowledge allowed for me to see and achieve outcomes that I was not even aware were possible. I would recommend Serena to anyone who is looking to get clarity and be in the best position for success. Take this from me, if you are looking for light in the darkness you want Serena in your corner.

This firm is a powerhouse! The talent here doesn't only include the attorney's, but also the paralegals, legal assistants, and even the office staff. This is an eclectic group of well experienced professionals that will know how to represent you at trial, if your case goes that far. There isn't an angle they won't think about to get you the results you are looking for. I had the pleasure of being represented by Walter Schouten. Ironically, he was referred to me by an attorney that I consulted with. I was told to call Walter because he is very knowledgeable and he's an outstanding trial lawyer. Walter took on my case and he was assisted by an amazing paralegal in Vanessa Enciso. This dynamic duo believed that they could help my situation in securing me a new trial for a custody case. They went to work immediately. This was 2 weeks after I lost at trial while being represented by a different firm. Long story long...Walter was able to get me a new trial, and he was able to get the judge to change her previous ruling. I am now the custodial parent of my 7 year old son. I have to admit that even if I wasn't awarded custodial rights, I was more than satisfied with the representation and would have been able to live with the ruling a lot easier. Knowing that I was being properly represented was huge for me. Especially since the previous firm I hired for this case was absolutely terrible. Thank you Walter, Vanessa, and Team Toombs Imel for everything. Y'all have raised the bar to the clouds for other firms. Thank you for the open communication, trustworthiness, and good vibes.

She works in your best interest and the best interest of the children. She tells you truth about your case whether it is good or bad. She is down to earth when talking with you and does not try to bleed you dry. It is hard to find an attorney who is looking out for you and your children's best interest.

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.
