Anyone who has been through a life changing experience like a divorce, needs a professional who is poised and confident in battle. Attorney Sheena Burgess is that and more.

I dealt with Alan on a family personal matter and he could not have been more professional and simple to work with.
Every step was defined and planned out perfectly.
He did his homework to prepare for the courtroom. He really cared about our case.
Alan was well prepared and on time with everything and was reasonably priced.
I would use him again in a heartbeat.

I went through a difficult divorce and Attorney Barraco helped me navigate this painful process every step of the way. She is a consummate professional and knows divorce laws inside and out. She always thinks 2 steps ahead of the opposition and fights for your rights. Thank you attorney Barraco.

Attorney Barraco is a true professional. From the moment we first spoke, she put me at ease, with her calm and professional demeanor. Having never met before we discussed my needs and within a few days we met for the first time. When we met she was kind, welcoming, and to the point. I enjoyed her ability to weed through the nonsense and get down to business.
Throughout the process she was just a phone call or email away. She returns messages in any form very quickly and with great tact.
While Attorney Barraco represented me her knowledge of the law and preparation for the case came to light throughout the process. I had full confidence from day one and she did not disappoint at the conclusion. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for representation.

My case started in 2017 and mostly just ended in my mind yesterday. Laurel was there every step of the way. Not only that, I had the entire firm assisting me whenever it was needed. This was a very ugly case. We went up against multiple lawyers. With many issues that needed to be tackled. She kept her cool, while I being emotionally attached needed her guidance to not let it get the best of me. Not that I will ever consider marrying again, although she told me to never say never. (She tells me she has divorced multiple people, multiple times) I will do my best to never make this mistake again. What I know from this hell that I went thru, is I would never have come thru it as well as I did without her knowledge and support of her team of well educated people. So if you are going through a divorce I would highly recommend using Laurel as your lawyer. She will stand by you from beginning to end! Thank you Laurel for your support and guidance. Goog or bad, I will always remember our days in court together.

Dave was hired to draft, iterate, and inform me as I negotiated a pre-nup with my fiance. Every step of the way he was responsive, thorough, and had my back. He had strong knowledge of what to include in the draft and potential holes in the doc if elements were cut. He also had excellent communication ability, and he made me confident in my understanding and the compromises I made. I highly recommend him.

I hired Attorney Nicole D. Sullivan in 2016 after suffering damage to my C-spine in a fall at work which required 3 discs to be fused with rods and screws to stabilize the vertebrae. In the same fall I was knocked out which caused a concussion and damaged both hips which were totally replaced in coming years. I was forced to retired early and my employer tried to deny my injuries were work related even though they sent me to Lawrence General Hospital via ambulance. They even refused to pay the ambulance cost until Attorney Sullivan pushed the issue. I am now receiving an Accidental Disability Retirement benefit that started in January of 2023. It was a long road with many medical procedures and Attorney Sullivan made sure I was paid and all medical bills paid! I will never be pain free but, my quality of life is better thanks to the offers of Attorney Sullivan and her associates. Highly recommended for workers comp issues!

I hired Irena midway through my divorce. She quickly brought herself up to speed and hit the ground running to get my case settled as soon as possible. Irena was kind, honest, and supportive. She gave me her cell number and was very responsive to my questions and concerns. I often felt like I was her only client--though I know that wasn't the case. The divorce itself was awful but having Irena on my side made me feel like I was going to get the best result despite the terrible situation. I'm grateful to Irena and her team at C, B, I, & B for seeing me through one of life's more unpleasant events with professionalism and compassion.

Irena Inman is a diamond in the rough. I have not had a lot of experience working with lawyers (thankfully) but if I ever have to in the future, they will be held to a high standard as Irena has set the bar incredibly high. Her knowledge, commitment, and passion for helping others is beyond compare.
She will take the time to listen to you, place no judgement and will offer you all the options you possibly can and will always check with you to make sure that the choice you have made is with certainty as she doesn't ever want you to regret your decision.
I hired Irena to help me with my divorce case and she was respectful to the other party, provided clear directions and even indicated some possible outcomes, which is quite insightful since I did not know what could happen. It certainly speaks to her breadth of knowledge.
Thank you so much for everything Irena. You're an angel without wings.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Attorney Paul Mourad during the closing of my property, and the experience has been nothing short of excellent. From the outset, Attorney Mourad has been incredibly responsive and available, ensuring clear and timely communication at every step of the process. His deep knowledge of Real Estate law was evident as he navigated the process, making the entire closing process smooth and stress-free. As a first time home buyer, I came in with a lot of questions and he took the time to address and answer them all.
What stood out most was Attorney Mourad's professional demeanor and positive attitude. It was obvious to me that he loved his job and was really good at it. In addition to ensuring that everything was done in the right way, he took it up on himself to educate me on things that I should know about from a legal perspective even if I did not ask about it. As a first-time home buyer, you do not know what you do not know, but in my case he filled that gap with clear and timely information. I also checked in with my loan officer and my real estate agent, and both of them shared extremely positive experiences about their work with him. I highly recommend him as a Real Estate attorney for anyone who is considering purchasing a property.

I Had a difficult custody case for the last 7 years. I had gone through 3 or 4 attorneys that left me worse of than when I started. A colleague of mine recommended Callahan/Barraco , specifically Dahlia Bonzagni, to help me with my case. Let me tell you, Dahlia went above and beyond for me. She was very professional and straight forward. So many motions and hearings, etc and she kept me informed every step of the way. If you’re dealing with a family law issue Dahlia is the attorney you NEED!

Going through a major life change such as a divorce is so incredibly stressful in itself, and not knowing the legal process, or how the court system works adds to that stress tremendously. I’m so thankful that I had Dahlia Bonzagni as my attorney to guide me through this change. She handled my case with care, professionalism, and discretion. I recommend Dahlia to anyone going through family matters; she will provide the guidance and legal representation you need.

Dahlia is knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated to your case. She will fight for the results you want, and can be a pitbull in court. She will not allow you to be walked on by the opposing team. I have been with Dahlia since 2012/13 and she continues to protect me, my rights as a father, and my children. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney.

I hired Attorney Dahlia to handle my divorce. I cannot say enough good things about Dahlia and her team Dave, Vicky and Allison! She was completely honest with me at all times. Dahlia spoke to me respectfully and professionally she responded quickly to emails, texts, and phone calls.

Her knowledge and tenacity in the courtroom was beyond words. I am so thankful I contacted Dave and Dahlia. I know I can count on Dahlia Bonzagni and Dave Callahan. Thank you guys.

I used Ms Haspel for a divorce case. Before I selected her and gave her a retainer, she was very optimistic about the potential outcome of a financial settlement, but once she had my retainer, she became very pessimistic and rejected any ideas I had about getting more than the worst case scenario she painted about what a judge would award me. They r a cookie cutter firm. U could do it yourself better. My exhusband’s attorney was FAR better than she was; she was outplayed at every point. When ever my ex asked for something, my question was ‘why should I do that?’ and her response was always why not? It was almost as if she worked for my ex and not me. When I told her the replacement cost for something my ex wanted, she refused to believe me. My ex and his attorney sent many ‘flame’ emails and she would just forward them to me. If she responded at all to the other attorney, it was in a very weak way. When I challenged her on this, she said their emails meant nothing as you ‘can’t litigate by email’ and she thought they were just trying )and succeeding) I in tormenting me.
I had info about my ex that she said was useless as a judge wouldn’t consider it his decision. However, I thought she could use the info in any negotiation as my ex didn’t want this info to b known to our children or his family and friends. She did nothing. She kept trying to scare me with horror stories about women who ended up screwed by judges. She wanted to just wrap things up quickly (even though I was in no hurry) and agree to whatever they wanted and I should b happy just to get rid of him.
I ended up using a mediator and advocating for myself and getting way more than she said I should get.
Unless u want a quick divorce and r willing to give u everything to get it, find another attorney.

I hired this firm for my divorce/custody case. I was given terrible advice (I was told I could only get full custody of my 2 children in the fall if I asked for 40% in the summer. This turned out to be awful advice and I'm now having to start from scratch with another lawyer. I was double charged for a second attorney who never said a word in court. 15K was blown through in 3 months. Mine and my children's lives are in complete chaos because of this firm. I highly discourage anyone in a family law matter from retaining anyone from this firm.

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.
