I cannot say enough how wonderful Attorney Miller handle my very difficult divorce. Having no experience in legal matters, I found Dan patient in explaining everything to me as well as having a very calming, confident demeanor which I found was very reassuring.
He is very knowledgeable, experienced and detail oriented and nothing got by him no matter what the opposing attorney put in front of him. Dan cares about his clients and their children and wants the best for them. He and his fabulous assistant Sara filed every motion, responded to every email and phone call in a timely professional manner. I was kept informed of strategy, procedures and next steps. He made sure I understood and answered all of my questions.
In court, Dan presented my case brilliantly and he was completely and totally prepared. If you are divorcing you either know or will soon know that the courts do not work in a timely fashion. To the frustration of the attorneys and their clients we are kept waiting for each court date. After many court dates, court delays and court procedures, I could not be happier with the results. I felt we were a team working together the whole time. Gratefully, I trusted him completely. There is no one I would have rather had on my side than Attorney Dan Miller.

Very happy with the hard work that was done for me! I had the privilege of working with Jason on my matters, and he was an absolute champion. I was kept in constant communication, all matters were handled on time, and he was thoughtful of my situation! Without a doubt, I would recommend this firm to anyone. If you are looking for professional service, and knowledgeable people with attention to detail, look no further.

To say that these lawyers are the best is an understatement! I have experienced nothing but fight and dedication from Jason since day one! He is very smart and went above and beyond to ensure that i got exactly what I deserved! It was a very long process and a lot of gas waisted but he kept my hopes up and assured me everything will be ok. I met John toward the end and it definitely makes sense that these 2 work together. If you are looking for lawyers who will ride and fight for you, The Kaloidis Law Firm is where you need to go! God Bless you guys and thank you so much for giving me back my peace!

Attorney Feraizi is an exceptional attorney in several ways. He is extremely articulate, charismatic and likable, and most importantly he not only understands the law and the application of it better than other attorneys, but he has a creative and highly insightful skillset that is far beyond most attorneys. Mr. Feraizi should be an attorney expert on television or working for a large firm at $500.00/hour but he is too busy helping others and contributing to community by helping individuals who would normally have often weak representation. He is rare in how he puts helping others ahead of his own ego and benefits often. It is also likli that a large firm would fear hiring Mr. Feraizi because he would be a threat to the upper management and moving to the top and in addition to this he would do what was right for clients and put office politics a very distant second. All attorneys and businesses have a few upset customers and in that I would like to put the few negative reviews that this fine attorney has had. Attorney Feraizi has inevitably dealt with more than a few difficul clients that don't understand the law or the practical considerations that must be done in order to get to a successful result. Often customers or clients of his didn't want to accept the incredible difficulty of their case, and we all know people who will not hear the facts and will only believe their own rose-colored views of their situation or predicament that they are in. In my case attorney Feraizi got a good result and fought for me but I did feel that he should have put on the court record the unusual circumstances of my case wherein I called someone a f....ng retard for saying outrageous things about US soldiers and a store or Target that I have a 1.2 Billion form 211 IRS complaint against that looked at years of purchases by me and determined that one of my self scan purchases was done incorrectly wherein I double scanned a less expensive item and not the more expensive one and stole under 100 from the store. An outrageous action by store that looked at years of purchases and had alterior motives, and I wanted on court record for future civil suit. However Attorney Feraizi did the right thing and only focused on his required job and getting me the best results in case, which he did and is not responsible for these extraneous matters unrelated and hence I give him a 5/5 or 100% but thought of only giving him a 4 earlier, but changed mind. I would also like to address the clients who claimed that attorney Feraizi has a temper and is short tempered. This is nonsense as because his mind burns on a higher octane, and he is in phenomenal physical shape he has mental and physical energy that few has and is assertive and uncompromising in stating the facts as they are. He does what is right and isn't concerned about acceding trends such as claiming a man who is assertive is mansplaining or expecting people to conform to ridiculous trends. In fact I was a victim of this absurdity in having the first amendment pi....ed on and getting charged for making a statement or an opinion about someone who made a disparaging comment. Attorney Feraizi is not short tempered andis in fact much cooler, collected, and focused that other attorneys who will make decisions based upon like or dislike of a client or how they feel during a specific time. Attorney Feraizi has unrivaled, focused, and assertive discipline that doesn't change or waver and is single focused on what is best for his clients. Highly recommend!!

Izzy defended me against a bogus attempt to have me slapped with a restraining order. He was able to expose the perjury in the affidavits and with cross examination easily show the judge the other party had ulterior motives. It was like watching law and order. Thanks Izzy!

Artila came highly recommended to me by a trusted friend. She really took her time to understand every detail of my case and wasted absolutely no time getting started. She is incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and answers all questions as fast and effective as possible. Due to my court date being in less than 2 weeks from the time she was hired, she could not attend court as she was at a different client’s hearing. She made sure her partner Dan was very well prepared and versed with all of the facts of my case for my court date. I could not be happier with the service I received!

I went to attorney Lubonja after my first attorney did not do anything for me and my children . Attorney Lubonja ended my nightmare with in 4 months. I got custody, and a reasonable asset division . Attorney Lubonja kept me in the loop at all time. Called me when she was sick, emailed me at 4 am , showed up for court not feeling well to represent me. She explained what options I have, and what to expect . Explained the pros and cons and the cost. She was the most transparent attorney I ever worked with. I can't thank her enough for her professional, honesty, and commitment. When I went to her my case was 9 months old and a mess due to my prior counsel and the GAL.
If you are like me, have no clue about law, need help and looking for someone knowledgeable to have your back please contact attorney Lubonja.

Waterbury divorce Attorney Michael Conway brings a whole
different level of caring and intimacy that few, if any attorneys offer.
I was in an extremely vulnerable state-of-mind, body & financial position when I first entered Attorney Conway’s office. Very quickly I was impressed by his competent, calm, compassionate demeanor.
A great listener, it took only a few moments for me to decide to hire him—at which time I asked him to ‘protect my blindside.’ ... And that’s exactly what he did ...
Throughout the entire process of my divorce litigation, Attorney Conway was on top of my case. He consistently offered me options, accompanied by the pros & cons of every move. Attorney Conway eliminated all preconceived notions, thus allowing me to make decisions free of emotion. I received phenomenal advice and representation that has helped my family SUCCESSFULLY move on with our lives.

Attorney Culkin promptly responded to my request for a consultation and provided an encyclopedic explanation of my options - without hesitation. By answering my questions and concerns with such comprehensive detail, I felt confident in his ability to handle my case.

Being a client of Mike Culkin was honestly a pleasure. I was very anxious with my legal situation and really had no clue how it would turn out for me, but Mike was very calming, and walked me through the process from beginning to the completion of my case.
He paid great attention to detail, and worked directly work the court officials to make sure my case was handled correctly. He was very thorough in making sure we took care of everything we needed to as the process progressed.
He was also very fair with price to attain his services. As much as a bad reputation attorneys have, Mike Culkin is an amazing guy, and wonderful human being in a world where everyone doesn't shown concern for their fellow human benigs.

Having Michael in my corner was a blessing. He pulled our family together after the mess my ex-wife caused. I still don't understand how she manipulated them, Mike saw through it. I was very aggravated, after spending a little time with Mike I felt calm , first time in months. Mike did what he said he was going to do. Thank you Mike, you are truly a blessing.

This Attorney did not protect me in Criminal court. He allowed others to violate my Cvil Rights . He definitely was careless and greedy. I definitely should have self represented or found an Attorney that was not judgmental. Just my opinion but please be aware. He also sent me a letter going over everything with several errors in it. It did not make any sense at all!

I have been having a lot of trouble with finding direction with a case. I have tried so many different lawyers and have not had any help at all. I simply called looking for any advice I could get. I was directed to Andrew S. Marcucci where he looked up any information he could to simply give me some direction. I am very appreciative for the help! Although I was not able to go through with this law firm he really showed that he cared.

I was recommended this attorney by a friend and looked over the reviews on here. I saw someone say something about how she doesnt listen and try to make it seem like she didn't tell you something that she did tell you but I decided to go forth with retaining her.
The initial consultation she seemed pleasant and concerned with getting me the best outcome in my case. Once I paid the initial retainer everything changed. When I would call looking for information regarding the case, I felt that I was being treated as a burden for bothering her. I get that she's the only attorney in her practice but at the same time if you do not have the bandwidth to take on multiple cases do not retain new clients and treat them as if they are not a priority.
When we would have conversations she was very condescending. Material that I had provided for the case was ignored or claimed she never got it. She would make statements on one call and a few calls later claim she never said that. She would argue with me like I was the opposition instead of offering recommendations or solutions.
The only reason that I am giving 3 stars is because she did help with some of the items I had asked for. If it wasn't for that I would definitely have left 1 star. I wish that these negative behaviors came out sooner than later so I could have retained a different counsel. Dealing with Attorney Rado made an already stressful situation even more stressful.

Attorney Rado and her staff from day one made me feel i was in the best hands for handling my criminal case. Attorney rado remained professional and intouch threw out my intire 2 year case. Attorney rado is truly a top notch Attorney. She handled my case with such care and devotion. Attorney rado and her team have fought for me to have a second chance, and I'm here today because of the law offices of rado. My family and I truly can't thank them enough, and there just isn't a high enough rating that would do her practice justice. 100% recommended.

Do not hire Attorney Danielle Rado! She is rude, unprofessional, condescending and simply does not care about you or your situation.
She refused to answer questions throughout the process, and did not have any thought for me and the situation I was in.
She is money hungry and only cares that she is paid at the end of the day, not that you receive a desirable outcome.
She does not care or support women and children going through a divorce, it is clear she does not have any children of her own for the disregard she gave to mine.
She left numerous nasty voicemails for me and always had a rude tone when speaking in person and over the phone.

This guy talks a good game, at first, I hired him to form my LLC, he was sloppy, unorganized and never completed the process by changing my deeds to the LLC. He doesn't return phone calls, he doesn't complete necessary and vital processes. He makes promises he cannot keep. I had to rehire him to sue one of my tenants he never filed the paperwork as processed, and was overall a horrible lawyer. DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN!

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.
