WOW!!!! Really don't know where to start. Wish there was more than 5 stars. Not only is this one of the most knowledgeable, caring , and honest person and attorney you will ever meet. One thing when Ms. Hynes tells you something you can rest assure that it will be done to the best of her ability. Ms. Hynes will not pull any punches with you she is straight up and honesty and prepares you with every scenario so you are prepared. Ms. Hynes has an awesome and knowledgeable staff who are as honest and supportive as Ms. Hynes. Ms. Hynes took on our case and we owe her more than money and words can describe. She fought for the wellbeing of our child and she helped me and stood beside me and held me up until our case was over and we WON!!!! If you want/need the best in a family court she is the one that you need especially when there are children involved.

Mrs. Hynes has gone above and beyond to help me fight to get custody of my children! I have been working with her for 4 years now she and her staff have been very professional and for the most part very prompt! There have been times that Mrs. Hynes has responded to me while on vacation! We all knew from the start this case was going to be a battle at hand but Mrs. Hynes has fought off two attorneys and in the end I now have custody of all four of my children as of May 6 2019 thanks to Mrs. Hynes and her wonderful staff.. she is the best and very under paid for the services that she offers.

Hire Him!!! Jim is very professional, organized and a true fact finder. Now he’s not your therapist(which is for your best benefit), however he works extremely hard even after hours putting together the best presentation possible for your case. Jim helped me put out a very unnecessary fire storm created by my ex. As expected with any custody battle this was a very emotional time for me, however Jim didn’t allow me to feed into my emotions. Jim stuck to the facts and after nearly a year of costly mud slinging and irrelevant litigations brought on by the opposing counsel Jim got me exactly what I needed for me and my daughter.

I am very thankful that I chose The Rockefeller Law Firm to represent me in
in my child custody case. He was referred to me by other lawyers, which speaks volumes. Mr. Rockefeller is a No-nonsense, straight to the point and very professional attorney . Custody cases can be very stressful and emotional , but he will make sure he does not let your emotions cloud your judgment in decision making. He’s going to tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear and help you stay focused on the bigger picture. He’s not your therapist, but he’s a brilliant attorney who sticks to the facts that matter and have a legal basis, he will cut you off on the frivolous fluff that so many clients want to vent about, this will save you money in the end. He has earned my respect and exceeded my expectations in court.

I consulted with Mr. Camp on a very complex former spouse matter, and he was thoughtful, thorough, and very kind. He took extended time to discuss the ins, outs, and loops of a complicated set of circumstances. There are many lawyers who claim knowledge of this area of law, but Mr. Camp ACTUALLY knows it through and through. He is also up to date on Tricare changes coming up in 2018. I cannot say enough good things about this wise and careful advisor. I would hire him in a heartbeat; if things get even slightly complicated as my situation progresses, I am going to try to become his client.

I am a military reservist and was divorced 17 years ago. My original attorney advertised that he did military divorces in the phone book, and he convinced me he was knew what he was doing. Skip ahead 17 years. I began receiving my reserve military retired pay and my former spouse filed for her portion. The original order was not worded correctly and needed to be clarified. Her attorney reworded a corrective order. I couldn't locate my original attorney, so I spoke to my local JAG office which really couldn't advise me, but said the language in the clarifying order seemed correct as to form. When the pay division occurred I was surprised that my former spouse was getting more money than I was!!!! I began searching for someone to correct this mess...a local lawyer recommended the attorney they consult with on these type of matters...John Camp! Not only is he an expert in military and civil service divorces, he teaches the intricacies of these laws to other attorneys and judges. John was able to correct the clarifying order to properly divide my retired pay. I only wish I had consulted with him 17 years ago!!!! Not all attorneys are equal!

Mr. Camp is truly an AMAZING attorney!!! My husband, who was a retired Federal Civil Service Employee, filed for divorce after 40+ years of marriage. Because my husband was a Civil Service Retiree, Mr. Camp came highly recommended from the office of another attorney where I had previously sought advice. His experience and knowledge of the Federal Civil Service Retirement System is very extensive, and he was able to tell me of my all entitlements within the hour of our consultation. He quickly went to work on my counterclaim for the divorce, and in two weeks we were in court for spousal support. The outcome - I was awarded a substantial monthly amount. I could not have gotten through the complex situation surrounding the divorce, and then the difficult time of my husband’s death, without Mr. Camp being there every step of the way. Mr. Camp smoothly navigated the application process with OPM, and I am now receiving the monthly survivor benefit. Mr. Camp also made sure that I was able to keep the health benefits as well, because at my age, there is no way I could afford to pay health care premiums on my own. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Camp as the go to attorney for anyone involved in a Federal Civil Service case.

Steve Holloman and his team, Brook Beck and Hannah Ferrero have been amazing through a very lengthy and difficult divorce hearing. You are not treated like just another client but like family. They truly care and Mr. Holloman is a skilled attorney who does not know the meaning of quit, give up or lose. I can never repay them for the peace of mind, comfort or positive outcome. Love you guys!

I have recommend him to many friends and all have found him a responsible and concerned professional.

I've hired several attorneys since 2007 to handle extremely difficult divorce/custody cases involving my children and an absolutely unreasonable ex-spouse. Mrs. Chapman handled two or three of those cases. Going forward, I will not even attempt to reach a settlement or step into a court room unless Claire is my attorney. She provided me with "high dollar" representation achieving the best possible outcome and without over charging me like some of the other attorneys did. I highly recommend her for your family law needs.

When my husband passed away suddenly I had no idea which way to turn. I met with Bridgette and she explained to me the legal process of an estate. I was very pleased with her and told her that I would be back when I needed legal work done. I am now ready to get my will done and put in place and I will be calling her soon to get it set up for me.

Christine was absolutely the best. My divorce was messy (in my opinion) and drawn out by my ex, and yet I always knew I had Christine in my corner fighting for me and my best interests. A process that would've otherwise been the worst legal experience of my life was made so much easier and less stressful.
Specifically, Christine was prompt and timely with responding to all of my questions and requests, and always had an answer for whatever questions I posed. I couldn't recommend her services more.
She's also just a lovely person to communicate with, which in my opinion is the most important when dealing with drawn out legal issues. I'll definitely be using her in the future if I ever need legal representation again.

What an amazing experience that I will never ever forget. I will forever be grateful for our paths crossing. She handled my case timely and professionally while also managing to provide updates every step of the way, despite her busy schedule and high demand.
I would recommend her time and time again to anyone in need of a passionate and informed attorney.

From the time my case opened to the time it closed this office has been professional, passionate and extremely efficient. I felt as though my case mattered and was a priority, despite knowing she is in high demand and very busy.
She was able to easily explain any legal aspect of my case with care. She also took the time to explain each step so I knew exactly what to expect. It takes a special person to handle family law cases correctly and Christine Cruse is a very talented attorney. Her personality and professionalism is unmatched and is absolutely perfect for the field of family law.

Mr. Williams and Ms. Phillips worked very hard on my case. They had my charges dismissed. This is an excellent law group. If you’re looking for someone to work and battle the courts for you then look no further. I’d highly recommend Mr. Clarence Williams and his team of professionals. Thank you to the both of you.

Great service and great communication! Going in with the understanding that this would be no super quick process, I am thoroughly impressed with the high-quality service and communication provided by the Williams Law Group. Attorney Williams was able to negotiate my child's case down to a lesser offense that is not reported on my child's record. His assistant Rebecca was very knowledgeable and responsive, notifying me of any updates as they were received. I could not be more pleased with the top-notch service that was received. Kuddos Williams Law Group! Our family is forever grateful!

I didn’t set out to find myself facing a divorce, I don’t think anyone does. But having worked with Ms. Johnson before and knowing her work ethic, I knew she was going to be my first and only choice. Having to do this remotely was hard at first but Ms. Johnson made as easy and as smooth as possible.
She gave great advice and very personable and accessible. The distance wasn’t a problem. From communicating to the other party and discussing the options, I am beyond impressed and grateful for her attention to detail.
If you find yourself in an unfortunate situation of facing a divorce in a middle Georgia, your first choice should always be Lynn Hamilton Johnson.

This place can't care too much about prospective clients! Don't return calls, don't answer phone! Husband filled out the online form to briefly explain circumstances with the hopes this firm could help, as well as called numerous times. No one answered or even bothered to reach out. I don't even know why they have a consultation form on the website. Please remove the online contact form, from your website. Ppl take time putting their information in and you don't even have the courtesy to respond. It's funny how they be quick to reply to a low rating review but could care less about picking up the phone. That's comical to me! Thank God attorneys come a dime a dozen, we moved on!!

Just called and asked to leave a message for Rabb Wilkerson to call me back .. asked several times the assistant Rebecca refused to do that !
She was very unprofessional. Leaving one star only because I could not leave a review if I didn’t leave one star ….
Rebecca was the name I was given .. she never said she was leaving a message for you to CALL ME .. I have never been to your office . Don’t know the real name of your assistant. Very Unprofessional Phone Call ! I stand by my review ..

Excellent...Excellent...Excellent! Thank you for your wisdom and insights. It has been over 10 years since you assisted me with my military divorce. Every time I have reached out with concerns I have been helped with kindness and always get trusted answers. Mr. Camp is very knowledgeable and compassionate.

Only reason I’m giving two stars instead of one is because of how friendly and helpful the paralegal that works here is. I sent my girlfriend to a consultation here in order to gain custody through a divorce and after explaining the case work to him instead of helping her started asking her questions that made her feel like he was attacking her mental health. She stood up and walked out after he told her to go home and take her medicine. Needless to say, we will not be paying the 200$ consultation fee he asks for just to have an appointment set up to be insulted.

Ed Varner should be avoided at all costs. This clown handled my divorce upon recommendation from a co-worker. My ex-wife might as well have had 2 lawyers representing her. Her's and Ed Varner. They both conspired against me to ensure my ex wife received 1/2 of my military retirement, a new car, Health Insurance paid for life, and an extra $300/month just to make sure I knew I was screwed. There were no allegations of extra-marital activities in this case. Ed is self-serving and incompetent. Steer way clear.

Zero motivation, no drive to work your case, you have to push him constantly to do anything, doesn't seem to care at all. Talks about retirement, which he should do just that, retire! I heard he was great at one time, not sure what happened. Made me feel like my case was a burden that he would have rather not had to deal with.

Mr. Varner unfortunately lost a family member and due to the circumstances it has clouded his judgement and drive. He simply would not do anything. I had to push him to do the simplest things. I had a cousin using him at the same time simply say he does not have it anymore, he needs to retire.

Communication was very poor. He missed meetings prior to my case because he was too busy and bragged about a big case he had going saying he charged people based on what they thought they could afford. He sent several duplicate emails of agreement papers even after we discussed the very same papers and never once sent them back to the other party. He charged me a large retainer saying my case wasnt likely to settle. Then asked for more money before even going to mediation much less a final hearing. Then he try's to withdrawal without refunding any of my retainer fees and never sent any type of bill. Very unprofessional and would not recommend him to anyone.

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.
