If you’re looking for a trustworthy attorney; Sarah Anne Lishman is your person! She and her staff, (Deborah) are phenomenal. I appreciate all the help and answers to my questions, even when I got “whole truth” I did not want to hear, but it helped me quickly understand what filing for a divorce meant, and everything involved in the process. Her fees are superbly reasonable. Thank you Lishman Company. Definitely worth referring to anyone in need.

William "Rusty" Hubbarth did amazing job when I was looking down the barrel hope being possibly convicted a 4 charges. Being disabled veteran he advocated for conditions and help drop a couple charges to get me a good deal with probation and with stipulations that help aid me with my disability. I appreciate him very much and anybody that has this lawyer in your corner he is definitely going to advocate for you and he is definitely going to go to the length to make sure that the very best can be done for you. I can't be more grateful and thankful for this man helping me in my time of need and yes I did break the law but he advocated the issues that were outside the norm and my situation surrounding the charges. So I highly recommend him to anybody that really needs a good lawyer in their corner. Thank you again Rusty for your help.

I had a great experience with Erica Jackson handling my legal case. She kept me informed and provided the results I had hoped for. Her pricing was more than fair. I highly recommend her.

Erica was extremely helpful with helping me get my divorce wrapped up and her pricing was reasonable. Do not under any circumstances hire Jon Parchman. He is worthless and a liar. He refuses to answere emails, texts, or phone calls and does nothing than the absolute bare minimum to handle your case. He completely screwed me over after paying him $8000 and refusing to talk to me or even meet with me before trial dates. He passed me off to another attorney he works with and then they both used Covid as an excuse to never leave their houses or take any mettings. Erica was a breath of fresh air and was always available within a reasonable time frame to answer any and all of my questions. I just wish I had know about her from the start and not wasted all that money on that worthless scumbag Jon Parchman who only made my situation worse. After doing some more research online it looks like that is how this lazy, lying POS always does business.

To say I had a complicated divorce would be the understatement of the century. Yet Brent took my case head on and fought harder than any attorney I had used prior to him. He always made sure to listen, hone in on the details and actually take action. His knowledge of the law is impeccable and in one particular instance, within two days of hiring him at that, he used that knowledge of the law to stop a situation happening. Even after moving hours away now, I will never use another lawyer again. I truly mean that. If you need someone GOOD and that actually cares in your corner, HE is the guy. 10/10 recommend!!!! Thank you again, Brent!

I am a resident of San Antonio and I had a case of mistaken identity involving somebody that attorney Brent Huckabay represented. without requiring a retainer the guy took time out of his own day to help me get a really difficult situation resolved. There’s not that many attorneys out there that would listen and help somebody in a jam without a retainer or some kind of a exchange; the guy is a class act!

Hal represented me for my divorce, and he exceeded all of my expectations. I started the process almost 2 years ago after retaining another lawyer which didn’t do much to move along the process. I then retained Hal in November of 2023, and he went above and beyond to make sure the process went smoothly and walked me through everything to ensure I understand what was going to happen. My divorce was finalized May of 2024 and it was the best case scenario, thanks to Hal. I would highly recommend Hal Hale to represent you as an attorney.

A friend of mine recommended Hal after my friend went through a tough divorce with joint custody. I expected a difficult joint custody battle and wanted a lawyer who was willing to fight. Hal was always very knowledgeable, direct, professional, and polite. He politely but directly let me know exactly why some of the things I wanted were inconsistent with Texas law. He also set expectations of mediation and if we had to go to court. Hal's ability to read people is even greater than his knowledge of the law. He was up front and honest about billing and everything went as we initially discussed. Hal and his team were very fair and accurate with the billing. When I contacted them they always answered my questions directly and did not keep me on the phone longer than I was willing to talk and they never contacted me unless it was necessary. When I asked Hal about opposing counsel he answered me honestly of their abilities, helping to set expectations. Due to Hal's advice, ability to read and accommodate me, the outcome was favorable to myself and child. I will use him in the future, if necessary.

This review is a long time coming. I've worked with and relied on Shannon on three separate occasions over custody disputes of my eldest daughter. On all three occasions she was able to improve my situation and on two of those occasions where my situation was improved, I was on defense where I was the one that got served papers. I believe that Shannon's prowess as an attorney actually comes from her compassion for her clients. She really does take the time to listen to and understand the unique situations that each case brings and understand and empathize with the situation. She gives her best because she knows what is on the line. She cares for her clients because she takes the time to understand them and their situation. I owe Shannon a debt that I can never repay, because I owe her my relationship with my daughter.

We had our child via surrogate; however, during the height of covid the number of guests in the hospital was limited. Our gestational carrier agreement was in another state and our child was birth in TX. The hospital couldn't do anything to help us and the birth mother was listed as the mother on the birth certificate. To have this change to my name was a challenge. Shannon fought tooth and nail with the judge. She didn't give up on us. She listened and even asked her colleagues for best approach. She looked for all solutions till we won. I would 100% recommend her firm with no questions asked.

I had consulted with Miss Bernier or legal advice on a divorce. My divorce was not normal by any means. I had to do with a high profile case in twined with my divorce. Because of that, it made it a very lengthy and expensive battle. Mrs. Vernier and her co-council were absolutely amazing. Everyone was willing to do everything they could to help me win my case. On a personal note, she would do everything she could to keep me saying and help me on the emotional side of the case. It was very long and drawn out, but in the end, things ended up in my favor. Vernier and all of her staff have become more like family. They were always willing to do everything they could to see that things were going to end up in the best scenario possible I would not hesitate to hire this firm again for any legal reason .

Attorney Stella has been an absolute lifesaver for my family during a time when we needed expert legal guidance. From the moment we reached out to her, she demonstrated a level of professionalism and compassion that was deeply reassuring. Her expertise was evident as she navigated us through complex legal waters with ease, ensuring we understood every step of the process. What really set Stella apart was her personal touch. She didn't just see us as clients, but as people going through a challenging time. Her determination to achieve the best possible outcome for us was unwavering, and it was clear she was fighting for us with every ounce of her considerable skill. Thanks to Stella's tireless efforts, our legal issues were resolved much more favorably than we had hoped. Her strategic thinking, coupled with her kind and empathetic approach, made all the difference. We felt supported and valued throughout our entire journey with her. We cannot recommend Attorney Stella highly enough. She's not just an outstanding attorney; she's a remarkable person who goes above and beyond for those she represents.

Malachi was very professional, but genuinely empathetic, competent and most importantly, honest. He did not set false expectations and he was very patient, taking care to explain every step of the process to me so I was able to make informed decisions. Everyone at the Daws Law Firm was professional, courteous, and extremely helpful. They took care of all the stressful phone calls and made all of my appointments to make an already horrific situation as painless as possible! When I had questions, no matter what they were, they responded quickly by telephone or email. For my case, I worked specifically with Attorney Malachi Daws. He was knowledgeable, assertive when necessary and required, and always always patient with my many questions. HE IS AS CARING AND SINCERE AS HE IS A SKILLED PROFESSIONAL.

Kirker Davis is a truly special firm. They have helped get me through the most challenging time in my life. Divorce is difficult enough, but when there is alot of contention, it makes it even worse. I hired Chris Kirker and his team 10 months ago. I was the underdog. I was a mess. From the very beginning, they had a strategy based on my particular case. They executed the strategy with respect, skill, experience, passion and precision. Each and every litigation event was a victory for us and accomplished with the utmost integrity. Chris Kirker, Ashley Morgan, Julie Hill and many others in the firm worked tirelessly for me. They maintained excellent communication and response. No question was too much. They held my hand, reassured me with honesty, listened to me, explained things to me, were compassionate and respectful, AND extremely understanding. They are just really good people. I am truly grateful to have found Chris, Ashley and the KD team to represent me. They gave their tremendous expertise and extraordinary talent to my case, and got me to the other side against seemingly impossible odds.

Shortly after I called, they set up the first appointment very quickly which made the firm stand out easily and left me a great first impression when I need the help right away. Chris has broad experience and solid knowledge & expertise which is a great fit for my case given the complexities due to my international marriage and child custody. Going thru a divorce is difficult. To make it as smooth as possible, Chris helped me have a comprehensive understanding of divorce process and set up proper expectations with thorough strategies. He listened to me carefully and fully understood my concerns and priorities. It is a great relief for me that his firm took care of the case with my kids and my best interests in mind all the time. The whole team are very dedicated, proactive, professional, and always there for me when I need recommendations or support. Thanks to them, I am confident to go thru this lengthy divorce.

Travis Turner has been our divorce attorney for many years. My husband unfortunately agreed to a poorly drafted divorce decree in 2008, which led to many years of ongoing conflict with his ex-spouse. Travis worked tirelessly on our behalf. He was able to negotiate a modification to the original divorce decree, leading to thousands of dollars saved in unnecessary spousal support. Additionally, over the last 10 years, Travis has assisted in resolving ongoing custodial arguments, as well as, dismissing false claims to child support arrears. In so many ways, Travis Turner has been a voice of reason amidst a tremendous amount of stress. I know it is Travis Turner’s job, but it is our life, and I feel that he went above and beyond. I would recommend, without reservation, Travis Turner and his law firm to anyone going through a complex or contentious divorce. They are the best in Austin!

INCREDIBLE! There are not enough stars available for Scott in this review option! Scott has been incredible throughout the entirety of an extremely difficult and lengthy family court trial. He is brilliant and dedicated and tough, all while remaining cool and professional, but very clearly stating the issues in my case. He has been steadfast and tough-as-nails, while, all at the same time, sensitive to my family’s and my most emotionally difficult times. I would highly recommend Scott to my very closest, dearest, most-loved friend or family member.

Ditto to all the great reviews !! He is all those things and much more!! Incredible attorney !! Our case was overwhelming and he took care of us! We were not offered a plea bargain, straight to trial. Two felonies manslaughter and negligent homicide. A car accident that was truly a tragic accident but charges were filed anyway. It is true Perry brings in highly experienced people on his team. These things can be so complicated. In court Perry was exceptional. He knows when to be humble, but never intimated, and when he needed to be fierce he was!! Three day trial with not guilty on both charges!! (The jury took Under 30 minutes to decided) We are forever grateful ! Still our friend today !

In despair I called his office at 5:15 on a week night 3 days before my daughters 1st court appearance. I received a call back at 9:00 pm from Mr. Minton. He put me at ease immediately and told me he would help us. By the time we went in to our consultation the 1st court date had been reset and he handled everything from there. This man was my Angel. I had never needed a lawyer for anything much less my teen child. He worked with us when no one else would return calls and the court appointed attorneys couldn’t help us. I would recommend Mr Minton to everyone.

Karen has been a fantastic resource for us. She is passionate, confident, articulate, knowledgeable, and experienced. Her communication is easy to understand, direct, and prompt. She was not afraid to give us the difficult truths, but also walked us down paths of reasonable solutions. Our engagement with her thus far has been less than a month, and yet she accomplished the limited contracted services quicker than expected. I recommend that you reach out to Karen for foster/ adoptive legal representation to see if she is a good fit for you.

Divorce sucks! Micah and his team made us suck less! Not only are they patient and understanding but they’re professionals who help you stay focused and be as objective as possible. That itself is a difficult feat because to many, family legal disputes represent the worst times in people’s lives. I was valued well, represented well and cared for professionally.

I have nothing but good things to say about Mr. Tanaka. My wife and I have never been sued before so this was definitely a new experience. Over the last year we worked with Mr. Tanaka regarding a Landlord/tenant dispute. He was nothing but a professional the whole time and was always there if we needed him. Words to describe him would be intelligent, clear communicator, down-to-earth, empathetic, and confident. We were extremely impressed by him in the court room during our final hearing. It definitely payed off having Jonathan in our corner. If you need someone to represent you in any capacity I highly recommend Mr. Tanaka!

Mr. Tanaka is the best family attorney that I have worked with. I have seen him multiple times over the past three years for legal advice and recently retained him to handle my custody case. Excellent communication throughout the process. When I initially filed for divorce, I hired one of the big firms and was essentially ignored for five months. Mr. Tanaka accomplished the same volume of work in less than a quarter of the time.

Marci went beyond my expectation. She worked diligently (despite the COVID slow down in the courts) and with great compassion, in getting a resolution in my conservatorship of two children. Her hard work in getting the necessary paperwork, including serving the absentee parents, who proved difficult to locate, living separately in two states. Her personal concern for the welfare of the children and obtaining a stable environment for the them to grow up in was wonderful. I will gladly recommend her, and if need be use her again in the future.

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.
