I've used Matt's legal services a few times. He's extremely knowledgeable, one of the nicest people I've ever met and incredibly helpful. I've been recommending and referring people to use him as their attorney for almost a decade and will continue to do so.

She was an hour an a half late to court... Which put us at end of docket. The lawyers took it upon themselves to mediate terms of visitation an custody while we were waiting in the hall. Due to my lack of knowledge in the legal area, and out of desperation of wanting to see my daughter- I ignorantly agreed to terms that were very limited, I wish I had waited to go before the judge. ALSO- a month an a half later I recieved a letter from her office stating she filed to be removed from the case due to non payment. HOWEVER- I did pay her in full, and the day I did- I was never given a RECIEPT because someone in her office had backed up the printer and I would of had to wait quite awhile, she had said she would just email the RECIEPT to me. Which I never recieved!! DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY! SHE DOESNT CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR SITUATION. SHE ISNT TRYING TO HELP YOU!

I hired Ms. Gragg after dismissing my previous attorney for misrepresentation and failure to keep me informed with my case in March 2016, and paid services upon agreement. Ms Gragg started off carrying and concerned for my needs. She was able to pick up well where the previous attorney left off and was able to keep us from having to go to trial. Both parties were ready to settle in April 2016. but neither myself or teh respondents attorney were able to get in contact with Ms Gragg. I finally made contact with Ms. Gragg the weekend before our next court date in July 2016 in which she informed me she was out of town on vacation. She failed to show up to court that following Monday, although we did have a scheduled meeting at the defendants attorneys office, however the respondents attorney did show up to court. Both parties agreed to terms and Ms Gragg was suppose to have the divorce decree draft to me Thursday that same week but failed to do so. After numerous calls, text, and emails I was finally able to get a copy of the decree 2 weeks later and one was finally sent to the respondents attorney in August. Additional literature was added to the decree that was not mentioned in our meeting, so it was not signed. Both myself and the tried contacting Ms Gragg and no returned calls to myself or the respondents attorney. Ms Gragg's phone often goes to a prerecorded message that stats she is not accepting calls at this time. She does not return calls as per her voicemail within 24 to 48 hours (when she does have a voicemail active), she does not return text messages (as she stated her preferred choice of communication), and she does not respond to emails. It is now October and we have court today, I am still not able to contact Ms Gragg. I am now faced with either having the respondents attorney draft the paperwork in which case I will have to pray Ms Gragg can show up to read it and make sure everything is correct to finalize the divorce, fire Ms Gragg and take the chances on my own that all the legal paperwork is worded correctly, or hire another attorney costing me further money.

Hired Mrs. Gragg March. Seemed capable and supportive, willing to get the job done.
Paid services asap, submitted all documents she needed fast and quickly. Waited and inquired about paperwork regarding termination of parental rights to be filed and child support filed. She answered and stated all work had been submitted. I called late April nothing had been turned in, continued to call her. She stated they may have lost work she would turn it in again. Called again in May nothing was on file in Oklahoma. Called her continuously until she finally answered said she will submit again and send me copy. Court order was submitted that May when I repeatedly asked her, nothing to DHS still.... Paperwork pending still at court, cannot get a hold of her by phone or emails. Can't hire another lawyer or do anything. Upset single mother paid and saved money to hire her thinking she was proficient and seemed very caring. Nothing still no word no call back... Pending and upset... June 2016 ....

I acquired Mrs. Gregg's services in November 2014. Here we are in July 2015 and I have had zero resolution to my case. Unfortunately, I live in another state and trusted Mrs. Gregg with a visitation battle for my daughter. Before obtaining her legal services Mrs. Gregg reassured me several times that she was a perfect fit for my circumstances. Mrs. Gregg did create the motion in January of 2015 but did not file it with the court after promising to do so. I have not had any correspondence from Mrs.Gregg since April of 2015. I have emailed, called, and text her office with no response. Do yourself a favor and find reputable lawyer because this practice is fair from professional.

Hired Randy Rankin but an attorney named Eric Johnson was put on my case instead. Eric worked for the d.a. in the county where my charges were not long before taking my case. It was obvious he still pulled for the prosecutors more than for those he's supposed to defend. He never would do anything I asked of him with the courts. It was always what he chose and wanted as if your not the client. Then it came down to having to accept something because I had no defense with this so called attorney not doing his job and not working for the client. He sat in a side room the day of court and wouldn't talk to me his client instead leaving my mom to try to explain paperwork she knew nothing about while he lounged in an office acrosd the hall. He only came in the room to say I was stupid while I was upset because he wouldn't come do his job and left my mom to answer questions she didn't have answers for. I may be diagnosed with mental disability but I'm far from stupid Mr. Eric Johnson. If you hire Randy Rankin to do a job beware if Eric Johnson is put in Randy's place. At that point I recommend getting your money back and going elsewhere. I had the most ineffective assistance at council oklahoma in which paperwork is being filed against this pathetic excuse for an attorney. My case was a misdemeanor case yet I didn't receive the skill of even a public defender which I paid for an attorney but received less than a public defender. For an attorney to sit in a side room and not do his job this is disgraceful and pathetic and to call a person with mental disabilities stupid Mr. Eric Johnson your a sad excuse for an attorney!!!

If you are looking for an attorney that will be honest with you, even though it may not be what you want to hear and not set you up for false hope, then this guy is your man. My case took roughly 5 years to settle due to some things out of our control, but from the word go he had my best interest in mind, never led me astray and kept me informed the whole time. I know attorneys sometimes get a bad rap because clients don't get what they think they deserve, but in reality that's not the fault of the attorney but more of just the law in general. Randy knows the law inside and out. If I had it to do all over again this is the attorney I would want by my side, no question about it.

I contacted Jason in July 2023 to get my POA and trust documents written to have available for my son whenever I pass away. I paid in full (his rule - now I know why). He got the documents to me in August (I believe).
I contacted him on 9/1 for two blank forms from one of the documents so I could type up what I wanted on them. He offered to get that done for me. I emailed 5 times, text, and called the office and his cell. I finally received the complete 4 documents again on 12/27/23 (almost four months later!); two of which had the wrong names on them. I contacted him immediately and informed him; and had to email another 4 times.
Jason kept blaming ME for this taking so long (you could have called; you could have text). I DID these things; he never responded until I told him he was fired and I would be finding a competent attorney.
I received the "corrected" documents 3/11/24; two documents had an incorrect address; one document had my name misspelled; and there were other typos. Last week, he text me that he would issue me a partial refund.
This week, he is refusing me any refund.

If you intentions are to maintain or gain custody of your child or children DO NOT USE Jason Lile as your Attorney. He is just there to take your money. Mr. Lile wasn't very professional leading up to court, and was extremely outclassed in the court room by opposing counsel. I realize that there are a lot of us out that this may be your first time hiring a attorney. The truth is you don't know what you don't know until it happens and you wished you were represented by the type of attorney who advised you properly and was working in your best interest. Please don't make the same mistake I made in choosing Mr. Lile expecting him to be that type of attorney because he is not, you will lose your kids no matter if your a great mother or father with his representation.

We hired Kathleen in March 2020, in July 2020 we had to hire a new attorney. 4 months and $10K later! Kathleen did nothing to help our case. She let the opposing attorney run over her and call all of the shots. She was very good at charging us but did nothing to help out case. Literally nothing. We are actually worse off than we were when we started. I do not recommend her at all.

Please save your money and time. He has a horrible reputation in local parenting groups, as he does not hold the other party accountable when they do not follow recommendations. He takes MONTHS to file the recommendations, doesn't respond to emails, or calls. This is consistent across the board from multiple people who use him. He seems to be biased towards moms, as well. I would not recommend him, as I feel I've only wasted thousands of dollars on his "services" in a high conflict parenting situation for it to only get worse with no consequences to the opposing party. Save your time and money; hire someone who actually wants to help the parties and keeps them accountable.

She was my lawyer and we had a falling out the day before we went to court. I was told she was not going to show up if I didn't pay more money after giving her thousands of dollars. I could not afford to give her more and thought that we were covered for more time so I was scared and was told she would not show so I became upset and let her firm know how I felt. But she did show, I was relieved but she told me to wait outside while she would go in and handle things. While I waited outside, she went in and decided to ensure I got the maximum amount of child support possible and then come out and told me to have a good life as she walked away laughing. This is not someone I would ever consider using nor would I ever trust this person to do what is best for you.

First court date prepared me to not answer more than asked. Never happened! Also told was going to ask for a mutual epo. she offered judge a 60 day epo when I asked about mutual was told that unheard of. Never was called to testify. Mislead had to ask multiple times for paperwork. She set up times to meet. Three to be exact never to show. Finally 9 months later was told she would send me the decree. Never sent it until 56 minutes before appearing in front of judge. She rushed or tried to rush me to sign it. When asking questions I was told I’m bizzar. Was told if i didn’t sign she was quitting. I still have no idea where I stand. Definitely a very odd/ bizarre situation I’ve ever been a part of. I would bet money she was paid off if not then she just is a lousy representative!

So it goes like this.
Marijuana possession case. Mark speaks to me like I'm a child. Sets up a court date. The court "loses" my documents. I showed up to 5 separate appearances at which I was simply rescheduled. 4 of which nether he nor his representation appeared at all. Yes I was left alone! 3 times! In court! Then, turns out he literally couldn't do anything about my case anyway and neither could his paralegals, whom by the way didn't even know my name! Ridiculous. If you want to waste your money, how these people. "An attorney you can count on" to sit at home and do nothing while you have to represent yourself. I found out that he evidently is a truck driver now because he's a terrible lawyer. Go figure.

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.
