Mark Carter was amazing. I was put in a weird position by another attorney from a different firm. Mark helped to straighten the situation out. I was dealing with medical issues and he did not rush or pressure me. His assistant Tracey was just as awesome as Mark. I’m very pleased with the service that I got!

Chelsey was referred to me for my highly contentious divorce, and I couldn't be more satisfied. She is incredibly personable and empathetic. From our first consultation, she helped me to feel like I could go through this without losing all of my savings or my sanity. She was timely with her communication, transparent with the progress of my case, honest, and very conscientious with my funds. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

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

I don't even know where to start if there is more than 5 stars I would give it. If you want an attorney to present you and when they walk to the court room everyone chocks on air look no further because Faye means business and she knows what is she doing. Faye is really rare gem who truly cares about her clients and believe in their case. Because of her I have fully solo decision making for my son educational and Medical. I mean Faye is Vice President, Clark County Bar Association, you cannot buy this position you can only earn it with an excellent work. Faye is such an amazing attorney who you would hire and sit and relax and have 0 worries. She goes above and beyond with her clients and she always make sure you leave her office with clear picture and understanding everything. I used to have old attorney who only cared about money and she won't even show up to the case she send her paralegal. But with Faye omg less than a year when she stepped in my divorce case got resolved and she I got everything I asked for and my divorce been going on for 3+ years and it's super messy.
I can't thank her enough.

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.

Erica was incredible to work with. My ex was very hard to contact and tried to drag things out as long as possible and she did a great job keeping things moving. She handled my getting frustrated over the situation so well and now that I’ve reached the end of that tunnel I am so grateful to have had her help. I absolutely could not have gone through this without her.

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.

Avoid William Ball, unless you're looking for a milquetoast middleman who masquerades as a lawyer. I had the misfortunate of hiring him from Beaty Hatch during my dissolution. I went in the assumption that he was going to fight for me and resolve the dissolution in a timely fashion. That is all I asked for in our initial meeting, regardless of the outcome.
After just two months, I was so baffled by his unresponsiveness and lack of interest in the case (he'd routinely take days or weeks to reply to even simple questions, if he'd respond at all) that I asked him what additional compensation would incentivize him, to which his secretary replied that she would print out my last email for him. Imagine hiring a lawyer for 300 USD / hr who is so disorganized that he can't even keep track of client emails and needs a secretary to hold his hand. Well, you don't need to imagine. You can just hire William Ball.
As time went on, who the lawyer was between us become increasingly blurred. Numerous emails to the judge and opposing counsel were just him forwarding text I wrote with his name attached. Here are more instances of poor work on his part that I'd like to highlight.
1. Before the first "mediation" session with the opposing counsel in mid-April, I had made it extremely clear that I wanted to resolve the dissolution as quickly as possible. By that point, opposing counsel had two months to prepare. So what does Mr. Ball do just a week before mediation? He agrees with the opposing counsel to push it out two more weeks, so she can prepare more! I immediately emailed him asking why on earth he would do that, to which he basically replied, "oops, too late."
2. Mr. Ball failed to inform me that I was allowed to hire my own business valuator to valuate my LLC. I only found out later because another lawyer told me. Considering that this valuator's work contained factual errors and bad analysis, this kind of information would have been incredibly useful. Another lawyer reviewed Mr. Ball's work shortly after I fired him. Upon learning about his failure to recommend our own valuator, the other lawyer commented, "[This] seems UNBELIEVABLE and incredibly negligent."
3. During the second "mediation" session, Mr. Ball was given an opportunity to question the valuator's work. His efforts were nothing short of embarrassing. Instead of homing in numerous lines of evidence indicating that she had put little effort to her analysis or had relied on problematic assumptions, he spent forty minutes tossing her softball questions that did nothing to bring into question the credibility of her valuation.
4. The verdict of the "equalization" provided by the arbitrator included false information about statements made during "mediation". What did Mr. Ball do in response? Absolutely nothing. Not a peep of protest, despite acknowledging that the arbitrator's decision contained factual errors. I was dumbfounded. At that point, the reality sank in that I was just another case he could cram into his schedule and extract money from. I had spent months thinking, "OK, soon he's going start fighting. He's just waiting for the right moment to pounce." Nope. By the time I realized I had been had, it was too late.
The total amount I had to pay this firm for such low quality work is nothing short of horrifying. I gave a long list of grievances regarding his performance. His equally unprofessional manager, Valerie Nack, responded to with a cheeky claim that I'm merely disappointed by the outcome of the dissolution. No, let's not mince words: even if I had "won" (if such a thing can even happen in divorce), Mr. Ball is still incompetent. The outcome was unjust, even by Mr. Ball's own admission, but that is the arbitrator's fault, not Mr. Ball's fault. Mr. Ball was asked to perform a job with a certain level of quality and professionalism and he failed to do it. Not once have this firm offered any sort of apology. Not once was I offered a refund of any kind. Instead, they chose to harass me with collections.

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.

Ever since my personal experience several years ago, I have referred many women her way and all have been as happy with her as I was.

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.

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.

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

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.

Michelle Prosser is an excellent attorney who I highly recommend.
She made the process smooth and as easy as possible, she thought about ways to get to the best result other attorneys never did.
Michelle Prosser worked overtime to study my case, very committed to it and gave me the best advice to be able to get the best results. She was able to prove my innocence against some serious allegations. She took my case personally and was very thorough about all the details.
I again highly recommend Michele Prosser as your attorney as she will listen to you and help pave the way to win your case.

In court she was very professional, authoritative, and unflappable. I very much enjoyed working with her and would not hesitate to recommend her to others.

When our teenager got into trouble with the law, we were horrified and had no idea what to do. Jason Bailes treated us with respect, professionalism, and care. His calm demeanor and confident manner carried over into the courtroom, where he was able to negotiate a positive result.
Jason's knowledge of the law and excellent working relationship with personnel in the the criminal justice system, combined with his easygoing personality, make him an excellent attorney and someone we highly recommend.

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.

Georgia was amazing. She was my attorney for a protection order and she was early to the court she knew my case better than I did. She fought for me and she won my case. She’s my angel from above. I HIGHLY recommend Georgia!

Let me just start off with saying that I went and seen quite a few lawyers before retaining Ms. Wright, and she was the only on who seemed to care about what my family was going through. She worked very diligently on finding the facts of my case. When she had said she was working hard on the case you believed her. I found her and her wonderful assistant did so much to inform me about what was going on. Even when they said that I had a very slim chance but they would do everything in there power to help me and let me tell you they did. I believe there would be no one better to handle sensitive case then Ms. Wright she will inform you and even when it looks tough make it look easy. I look forward to using The Wright family law firm in the future for I do not believe there is anyone better.

I have been to several lawyers and the staff at the Wright Law Firm is by far the most helpful and kind. They are always attentive and caring. They think out of the box and are very thorough. They are very professional and I would recommend them to anyone who wants a reasonably priced attorney to get the job done the first time.

Mr. Reid was referred to me by the CLEAR program. I was able to schedule my consultation for the same week I called. Mr. Reid demonstrated a solid understanding of bankruptcy law and its complicated process. He was also very good at explaining said law and process in a way easy to understand. He and his staff are efficient with paperwork and communication, keeping good track of documents, dates, and time. Mr. Reid was prepared and punctual for each meeting and hearing scheduled. On a personal level, he is a nice person with which you can speak to in a regular conversation, which I found comforting during the bankruptcy process. I strongly recommend Mr. Reid's services.

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.

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.

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.
