Sarah Jacobs is amazing!!
I highly recommend her for anyone going through a divorce. From the time we first met to the final settlement, Sarah provided exceptional legal guidance and support. She was always available to answer my questions, explained the process clearly, and worked diligently to achieve a fair outcome. She handled my case with professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail. Because of Sarah , I felt confident and supported during a very challenging time. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. Thanks for everything Sarah I wish you the best!

Went through several lawyers before finding Denise, but I was definitely pleased with her. Unlike the previous ones, Denise seemed genuinely concerned about my children and I. Never once had to bug her about updates or statuses as she was constantly updating me, and I felt that she took a personal interest in every step of this undesirable process. Wont be dissapointed in using her services...

Jeremy Henderson was recommended to me by a friend. I was a little uncertain at first about his ability to handle my case (a very complex situation that I had completely messed up by trying to handle it myself) because he hadn't been practicing very long, but he immediately proved his competency.
What I needed was a peacemaker and Jeremy fit the bill perfectly. He worked very hard trying to resolve my situation without conflict and still stood his ground firmly without backing down. When it became obvious that my case was going to court, Mr. Henderson proved to be a warrior, as well.
He was very thorough and kept me informed about everything. And, unlike most lawyers I have used in the past, he explained everything so that I could clearly understand. When a legal decision needed to be made, we made it together. He tried very hard to get to know me personally and understand what my objectives were and showed me ways I could help myself.
I tried to handle my own case because I had been badly burned by so many attorneys in the past and I just didn't trust lawyers. But .I can honestly say that I completely trust Mr. Henderson. He has proven himself to be competent, honest and trustworthy. I will continue to use his services whenever I need a legal warrior.
I highly recommend Jeremy Henderson.

I have spent the past 10 months working through a family law matter with Tyler Wilson from Albers and Associates. From day one, Tyler has been professional, kind and informative. He walked me through every step of my case. He was available whenever I needed him and checked in often. Through his guidance, I was able to resolve my case and move on with my life. I cannot express how grateful I am to have had him on my side, helping me make hard decisions. Everybody deserves a lawyer like Tyler!

I must say… I was expecting more from my consultation with this law firm. I did 95% of the talking at our meeting, asked what I wanted out of the ordeal and a word of advice to take with me. The cost of the 52 minute consultation was not worth the less than 10 word advice received. I felt cheated after leaving the office… not to mention driving over an hour from Towson to their Westminster office with no advance notice of where to park. I literally already knew everything I know now before our consultation. I was expecting more… advising me of my chances… what to expect… what to do, I mean a lot more than what I received for the cost of the consultation which should have been free if you ask me. I paid you to talk to me and not the other way around. I already knew my type of case would be costly, but starting off with a consultation that should have been done over the phone or via Skype at no cost, had me thinking of how much time they would waste on my case racking up a hefty bill. Then lowkey rushed me out of our meeting talking about “I do have another client” after starting our 1 hour consultation 8 minutes late… this was a huge waste of time & money that my current situation was already pressed for. But the receptionist gets a 5 star. She was super pleasant and even met me outside to make sure I found the office. I deserves a refund frfr. I guess it’s like I paid hundreds for a very pleasant valet experience and a cold bottle of store brand water… not even Fiji. Unless you’re a millionaire or money grows on trees in your backyard… don’t give them a chance to take your money and offer you less than nothing in return. They seem the type that will milk you for all you have. Follow more reviews @IG: Robthefoodguy @eat_n_critique

As someone in their early 20s and has never had to deal with the legal system David was a guiding light through a really difficult time. From the jump he was there to help me during a free consultation and break everything down for me.
He compassionately listened to me and was completely transparent with everything regarding my case. If I had questions on anything he or Judy were able to get back to me within a day. He gave me much needed hope and peace of mind throughout. A genuinely caring and smart individual.
He is incredibly well spoken and notably respected in the court room.
In the end I had the best possible outcome for a high BAC DUI case. I absolutely would recommend him to anyone seeking legal counsel.
I could not thank him enough.

This was my first experience with a lawyer and I'm pleased to report that David is great to work with and provided me with outstanding legal representation. I had several serious traffic citations that dragged on seemingly endlessly. David worked with and persuaded the state's attorney to not prosecute several of the more serious charges. At trial, David argued for and persuaded the judge to assign a probation before judgment on the only remaining charge.
If I ever need legal representation again I will contact David McFadden. Thanks for everything, David! Burt McKitrick in Westminster.

Nick was great. We had some difficulties with communication due to the fact that the only way I could contact anyone was through email. Otherwise, I had to leave a message at the office and wait for somebody to call me back. Other than that, Nick sat down with me, went over all of my evidence, and listened to everything that I had to say. Before court, we sat down again, and I was able to make sure that we were on the same page before walking into the courtroom. Nick hit on every topic we discussed while in the hearing. He was great!

When you hire an attorney, you hope they will enter the battle by your side and will fight for your rights with all of their might. Not being familiar with family law, I was too focused on the battle to question the “warrior” fighting by my side. After a lengthy war with my ex, I had to crawl away. Ms Unglesbee had not won a single fight and charged me more than $20,000. At the recommendation of a good friend, I asked another attorney to review my case. After reading everything, he said, “Ms. Unglesbee lacked a firm grasp of family law, lacked creativity, and to be honest, she buried you… Ms. Unglesbee allowed the courts to violate federal and state law without a single response.” It was too late to correct any of her mistakes. As a direct result of her inept council, I will be forced to live with the inequitable results for the rest of my life. Another person I know was also represented by her… They suffered the same results.

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.
