In my experience with Jordan Taylor and his staff, I was treated very well and they were beyond helpful with my personal and legal situations. I had been in a terrible motorcycle accident the year prior and they were helping with the repercussions from that. I had also just lost my only son and they were very empathetic. I would highly recommend them.

Henderson-Taylor took our case on short notice and worked quickly because of upcoming deadlines. The staff was helpful, knowledgeable and efficient. Once a settlement was reached, Mr. Taylor connected us with a financial firm to set up a trust account for the settlement. Mr. Taylor did an excellent job in handling our case.

Jordan Taylor of Henderson Taylor Law Firm was such a tremendous source of help from start to finish with my auto accident. Jordan is extremely knowledgeable, professional, attentive and reliable. He makes himself available to answer any and all questions or concerns. Jordan walked me through what to expect during my deposition, in turn calming my nerves, which was so helpful.
Jordan’s paralegal, Rose is also extremely knowledgeable, helpful, thorough very kind. My phone calls were answered and/or returned as soon as possible.
I also had their support and compassion in that while going through this process, I lost my husband.. he passed away suddenly and unexpectedly.
In sum, Henderson Taylor Law Firm was there for me, from beginning to end and with a favorable legal outcome.
I couldn’t be more thankful for their professionalism and support. This law firm has my highest recommendation.

After 6 years of struggling to finalize a horrific divorce, I turned to Georgia Petrie and the team at Heritage Law Firm. There were difficult challenges to face. I was states away from home in a area I was unfamiliar with 2 children. Finances were tough. There was a long military family life history. Many lawyers in this area did not understand military life challenges, laws, and rights. Georgia did. I was also harassed, given wrong information to try to scare me into making unwise decisions. Georgia provided facts to ease my fears and make educated choices. She worked efficiently and wisely with the team there to make sure it was as affordable as possible. Finalizing my divorce after all those years, and all the trauma associated with it, was the best Christmas present I have ever received. I’m incredibly grateful for Georgia and everyone at Heritage Law Firm.

I had some serious difficulties with another firm and went to see Glenn for a consultation . He offered me some reassurance and encouraged me to finish my case with the firm I already hired and paid. He told me that if I still felt unsatisfied that he would be happy to take on my case, but that he didn't want me to waste money unnecessarily. He spent the remainder of the hour talking to me and explained how the legal system worked and by the end of our meeting I felt like a weight was lifted from my shoulders.
This was not my only consultation with Glenn, I met him on another occasion and again he offered me sound advice that would save me time and money when I wanted some documents modified.
He really is an honorable and honest guy. For any legal matters, I will only be going to him and his firm from here on out.

I was here reviewing my current lawyer, and thought “why not leave my first lawyer a review”?
Nick got me everything I needed in my initial divorce petition and temporary orders. Even majority custody of my children due to DV which was amazing.
His downfall - Not wanting/ability to withstand a long holding case. *Important for people in my DV similar circumstance*
Once my temporary divorce orders passed, he did not want to continue the case because in his words allegedly over a phone call “If your ex is the abuser you claim him to be and his family has money, I’d feel guilty taking any more money from you because your ex will not relent”. - which is valid, but not comital.
Detrimental to anyone experiencing relentless Domestic Violence.
Note: He DID cover a extra hearing he wasn’t required to under our contract. - This leaves me believing there was a miscommunication between expertise and compensation. I didn't understand that at the time. I wish he was more transparent. He could’ve billed me and I’d have paid him.
Then over a phone call told me it’d cost be $15,000.00 upfront to deal with someone like my ex husband. That was saddening.
Where did that leave me? Having to find another attorney to learn my details. Finding another attorney who understood that amount was unrealistic (for myself) upfront.
He was also hesitant in believing my domestic violence claims. Which is already hard as a survivor and not something you need extra from your lawyer.
Nick did get confused on travel dates I had (I mentioned to him at least 3 times) which caused me to have to purchase extra tickets to return for a child exchange. He blamed me for not reminding him prior to the hearing - but he knew I had mentioned it in general. He generously offered to pay for return tickets acknowledging it was his mistake. This was extra gracious of him.
But if you’re needing a long-standing attorney - who isn’t just in it for the wam and bam, this might make practice questionable. Only leaving my open opinion here for those in a situation similar to mine and looking for long-standing representation.
He did amazing law wise is good hearted. But maybe not so much for my extensive needs and being transparent. Which is critical in a relentless DV case like mine. Now I’m happily continuously paying a different attorney. No billing confusion and they’ve learned my details since the beginning of my case. Like everything in life trial and error - not all (people) attorneys are for everyone and that’s totally okay. Nick was great but it didn’t match

After a long and unhappy marriage, my former spouse and I decided to hire Juliet to mediate our legal separation. We had initially hired our own legal representatives and that was proving to me a true nightmare and promised a protracted, painful and expensive pathway. We took a pause and decided to try a mediator and were so fortunate to find Juliet and her paralegal, Jentri. As one can imagine, splitting from a spouse of nearly 4 decades was a complex, conflict-riddled, contentious experience. Juliet somehow managed to maintain her incredibly professional, calm and neutral stance while we hammered out our settlement contract. Her billing was beyond fair and well accounted for. Her work, including the computations needed, was carefully prepared and meticulously documented. Given the behaviors she had to tolerate and the "tattling" she was subjected to, she remained supportive of both parties and respectful toward us. When it was over and we met to sign paperwork, she was very empathetic and left me with a box of tissues and time to compose myself. I know we were difficult to deal with and she must have had to use all of her skills to coach us to the conclusion. A year later, my former spouse asked for a divorce and wanted to use her to complete that last step. Again, she and Jentri were professional, brief and did not get involved in the drama surrounding the divorce. Since her work had been so thorough during the separation, the divorce was quick and simple and they took care of everything. I was so grateful! I would highly recommend Juliet to anyone that thinks they can navigate a marital split with some semblance of civility, the ability to "be in the same room" negotiating the terms and avoid a costly and destructive battle.

I was caught in a bind when my ex sprung on me divorce papers. With only 5 minutes notice, Erica jumped in and helped navigate a complex and somewhat unique relocation and custody case. She was a leader in making my case to the court, and in the end we ended up with a resolution I felt very comfortable with. I would definitely work with her again if needed in future custody conversations.

I was lucky to have the privilege of having Mr Foster as my attorney for my very difficult divorce.
He wasextremely patient with my disabilities and inability to understand the process of what was going on.

He made a very difficult process feel easy and painless! I could feel his support and concern for me as his client throughout the entire process of my divorce!
Not only this but he was fast and efficient. He didn't allow a single bit of time to be wasted!
I would suggest him to anybody looking to get a divorce!

Kari meet with me and clearly described the process and alleviated my fears and doubts. She was knowledgeable and knew the system. She was clear and concise about what was required of me and what I would need from my husband for a uncontested divorce at the first meeting.
Since that first meeting, she has been response to my inquiries and has been able to correspond to me via text and email, so that I or my ex-husband did not have to take time off from work. She makes an uncertain process seem easy and peaceful.
She is charged a nominal reasonable fee for the divorce. I considered doing the divorce my self, but I am so glad I went with Kari, she made a very fearful event seem easy and peaceful. I highly recommend her as a divorce lawyer.

Kari Rose was a huge answer to prayer. She was warm, compassionate, helpful, honest, real, knowledgeable and affordable.

When I was facing divorce, Christine Dow was recommended to me as one of the best divorce attorneys in Whitman County. And with good reason. She is low-key and understated, not combative, and yet she readily claims and stands her ground. She is fair, level-headed, reasoned, and always striving for what is best given the circumstances. That frustrated me at times, because I wasn’t always in that place. But, she always remained centered and calm, allowed me to vent and never took it personally. She always brought us back to where we needed to be. She takes a personal and passionate interest in every case. She believes in her heart that all people matter, and she stands solidly in the realm of social justice and equality. I respect and admire her for that, and highly recommend her for fair and equitable representation.

Karen is an excellent attorney, well respected by the court as well as her peers. She is very knowledgeable in all aspects of Family Law and has a no nonsense approach with "show boating" attorneys trying to elicit sympathy for their client and wasting everyone's time. Karen is straight to the point- she will tell you exactly what to expect and not waste your money chasing an unrealistic outcome. Karen strives to keep her costs down by doing everything herself and has no problem in asking an opposing attorney to use email and other measures to cut costs. Although there is no receptionist/paralegal, Karen is very accessible and returns calls/emails promptly. Although no one wins in a divorce, I am very satisfied with the outcome of mine, not only terms, etc., but the cost as well. Karen is compassionate and really cares about her clients. For all these reasons I highly recommend Karen and have passed her name on to others who are now her clients and are very happy to have her representing them.

I give my highest recommendation for Jeffrey D. Ott. I asked him for help with a very complex and unique Separation/Divorce case and he handled it with professionalism, skill, honesty, and empathy. He was very responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about his role. He was straightforward about areas that he wanted to consult on or research more, which only made me more confident in his trustworthiness and his judgement when he gave advice. I am a professional in the county and he helped me navigate this process with confidence. Even with a significant amount of hostility, contentiousness, and difficulty between myself and my ex-husband he was level-headed, forthcoming, and professional. You can quickly feel that he has high integrity and wants to help people. I would recommend him for any family law matter.

I highly recommend Jeff Ott for your legal needs. Jeff specializes in divorce, however, this is not why we retained him. My husband and I experienced a very bad situation with a contractor which required a good sum of out-of-pocket funds on our part to complete the job. In our search for legal help to recoup this money I was referred to Jeff from a legal acquaintance. We are so thankful he did. Jeff's knowledge of construction laws and contracts as well as his research and information gathering abilities brought us to a wonderful conclusion. He stayed in touch with us every step of the way. Jeff will not only do what needs to be done for your legal needs, he will also show you understanding, compassion, friendship and will make you smile with his infectious laugh. He is very competent and we give Jeff an A++++++++++ in every aspect of his practice.

Michael reviewed my case (DV4), laid out my options, provided his advice and I took it. He met me in person, walked me through the process and was diligent with each appearance in court. He was well-spoken with the judge and eloquently communicated the facts of the case. I felt confident and hopeful throughout the entire process, which ended in the outcome we both had hoped for.
What impressed me the most about Michael were his connections. He seemed to know everyone in the court room, and gets along with them, and that bodes well for his clients.
I strongly endorse Michael Green as a Criminal defense attorney.

Recently, I needed to revisit an extremely difficult family law issue. My previous experience with the case was terrible - including both my former representation and the opposing counsel. Additionally, the opposing party (my X-wife) has been and remains uncooperative. For these reasons, it was a difficult decision to revisit an already extraordinarily painful legal conflict.
When searching for representation via phone consultations, I was immediately impressed by Danielle's sense of fairness, her thorough understanding of the field, and her obvious intelligence. Mostly, I was impressed by her integrity. I hired her because of these characteristics.
As I hoped, we were able to navigate a variety of unfortunate tactics presented by the opposing party. In my opinion, because of Danielle's excellent representation, the conflict was resolved in the best way possible.

I was terrified and Eric was very patient in explaining what my options were. He worked diligently on my case, involving the prosecutor when it became necessary, and working long past closing time on a Friday to ensure everything was in place to protect my kids. His staff is knowledgeable and equally dedicated to serving their clients. They never made me feel like I was being ridiculous or overreacting.

She made the process smooth and as easy as possible, she thought about ways to get to the best result other attorneys never did.

One word to describe Phil Andrews as an attorney... phenomenal!! Phil was on top of everything! When paperwork from the other side was not filed properly or in the correct timing, he was on top of it and made sure rules and statutes were followed! His knowledge of how the court works is awesome! My ex wife drew out our divorce over 2 years and he never lost his cool with me and my frustrations over the games my ex wife played. Phil was able to point me in the right direction and to not lose my cool! Phil was amazing during the 2.5 year process of my divorce! I would recommend Phil in a sec to anyone who needed a phenomenal lawyer!!!

We had made an investment in a local business and they had a 5 year pay off. When the time game for the payoff the people we invested with were stalling and were about 2 years behind in paying us back. We hired Phil to give us representation and some leverage. Phil was able to get them to commit to a payment schedule with the promised interest. While it did cost some money we have been able to get our $25K back and some profit to boot. Phil is very skilled and easy to work with. We have developed a great friendship. I would highly recommend Phil for you legal needs

He was great; did everything he said he would, on schedule, with little red tape or wasted time (unlike other services for the poor I've been forced to deal with.) He seemed skilled at his work, pleasant, professional and, again, unlike some other social service people who work with the poor, he treated me like an equal and a human being, without condescension.
I would recommend him without reservation. A decent human being and a good lawyer.

In a child custody and protection order case, Courtney was not only extremely knowledgeable, but she was highly sensitive to the fact that it was proving to be a extremely stressful experience for all involved. Courtney would check in with me and make sure we knew what was happening at all times.
Her legal representation restored my faith in the justice system. If you're seeking legal help and looking for a reliable lawyer call Courtney today. I could not have asked for a better attorney to represent me and I'm extremely satisfied with my experience.

Georgias the best decision I’ve made and I wish I’d have found her sooner. I can’t stress that enough. Georgia and Alicia are incredibly responsive (Heritage Family Law). They understand my case - better than I do with details I forgot I mentioned at times.
She answers questions I come up with extremely timely. My ex husband is relentless and it’s motion after motion. I have extensive DV and child custody issues that she’s handled with compassion and grace.
Georgias timely in court, holds her composure, and most importantly- ready to argue.
She’s the 3rd family lawyer I’ve had so it’s not my first rodeo. My ex husband has put me through court where other lawyers couldn’t keep up. I’m SO glad to finally have the representation that matches my needs.

We consulted with Rob on a criminal defense case. Rob is a remarkable lawyer. He was very thorough in our case and took time to sit down with us to think through and explain everything on a day he normally would have been off. There were a lot of moving and complex pieces to our case, and we came away feeling significantly less anxious about the process.
He is the kind of person who will make sure that there is no stone unturned to make sure that you have the best representation out there. He is also the kind of person who genuinely seems to love and enjoy what he is doing. He acts like a real person, is enjoyable to talk with, and puts in the effort to help you feel comfortable interacting with him, as well as comfortable with the process. I highly recommend him if you are looking for consultation or hire.

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.
