I had the pleasure of speaking with Ms. Nicole Walker regarding a probate estate matter, and I cannot recommend her enough! She was incredibly kind and patient, taking the time to thoroughly explain all of my options in a way that was easy to understand.
What truly stood out to me was her genuine compassion and professionalism. Navigating legal matters, especially something as complex as probate, can be overwhelming, but Ms. Walker made the process feel manageable and less intimidating. She was attentive to my concerns and ensured I felt heard every step of the way.
If you're looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, approachable, and truly cares about her clients, Ms. Walker is an excellent choice. I’m so grateful for her guidance and support!

One of the best decisions I made was to ask for Tilem & Associates to help me with my 6 point speeding ticket, they got it reduced to a zero point parking ticket. Very respectful and so helpful! Without their help my insurance definitely would have gone up a lot, so I can’t thank them enough!

Used them via OffTheRecord for a speeding ticket and they were great! They were very communicative and responsive. They were able to bring my 4 pt speeding ticket to a 0 pt parking ticket. 10/10 would use them again!

I called Lever and Ecker for an initial consultation and had the opportunity to speak with Adam Weiss. In the short discussion Adam provided me with guidance on my potential case and put me in touch right away with someone in his network as this was an out of state case. Adam followed up shortly afterwards to make sure that the connection was made. I was very pleased with how Adam and his firm helped me and set me down the right path.

Six years ago I was in desperate need of help after my accident. I was desperate and had no idea what to do. I reached out to this law firm. This was the best decision I have ever made. My lawyer Daniel Ecker is one of the best he has an immaculate talent. Mr.Ecker is companionate, passionate, and extremely helpful. Daniel Ecker is the best, to say the least. Mr. Ecker was the person who helped me through the toughest time of my life. The person who believed in me and wanted justice to be served. He was the lawyer who kept me in mind throughout the long 6-year case. Although time passed and the case went long he was extremely attentive to me, my family, and my case. About a month ago Mr.Ecker and his partners were able to successfully win our cases. I recommend this law firm 1000 percent. If you believe in yourself and your case these are the lawyer you want to defend you. l especially recommend Daniel Ecker. This is an amazing law team full of individuals who are dedicated and want the best for their clients. A special Thank you to Mr. Ecker and Diana. I appreciate all you have done for me and my family.

I consulted Daniel Ecker regarding a malpractice concern about the dental care I received. Dan thoroughly reviewed the documents I had collected, discussed the case with me, and provided excellent advice. He was incredibly caring, respectful, and professional throughout the entire process.
Dan maintained consistent communication through emails and phone calls, keeping me informed about my case and ensuring I clearly understood every step. He also represented me during negotiations with the opposing side, and his expertise in his specialty areas of law helped me achieve a highly satisfactory outcome.
This case was incredibly stressful, especially since I had never been through anything like it before. I feel deeply grateful to have had Dan’s support during this challenging experience. His thoughtful advice and the time he dedicated to helping me meant more than I can express.
Thank you, Dan, for your exceptional support and dedication!

I cannot recommend David highly enough. He represented me for more than 5 years during a very complex and emotionally draining family law case. From the very beginning, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism, empathy, and expertise that made navigating a challenging family law situation much easier. David’s deep understanding of family law, combined with his strategic "no nonsense" approach gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout the entire process.
He always listened intently to my concerns, was timely in his responses, and thoroughly explained every step. He was always available to answer questions, no matter how small. David's commitment to my case was evident in the way he advocated fiercely on my behalf, balancing assertiveness with sensitivity to ensure the best possible outcome for me and my daughter. He took an incredible risk by representing me and I could not be more grateful for him. Thanks to his dedication, I felt supported and informed at every turn, which was invaluable during such an emotional time. The resolution he achieved exceeded my expectations. Because he represented me for so long, he was tirelessly invested in seeing it through to the end. I have tremendous respect for his dedication and resilience. If you are looking for a compassionate, firm, knowledgeable, and results-driven family law attorney, David is the one you want by your side.

I would highly recommend the Douglas Family Law Group. I have come to realize that you either have a horrible lawyer or a great one. I feel the best measure is when they are transparent and show that they actually care. I was first represented by a pro-bono lawyer who wouldn't tell the court my ex-partner boyfriend threatened me, that she caused him 38 lates to school and she didn't have him half the time and she moved out of state without telling me or the court. He just kept telling me " you never know what the judge will say so take the settlement". he refused to even put my requests in the settlement if he felt they wouldn't agree. When I retained the Douglas Family Law group it was a different experience. There was constant communication, empathy and acknowledgment for some of the unfairness that I had experienced. Elizabeth spoke up for me in the courtroom and stated many things that needed to be on the record. Elizabeth put in my reasonable and justifiable requests when engaging in the settlement process. Elizabeth many times had to explain to me what the court pays attention to and what path we can take to present that. I have a great disdain for the family court system and it's practices but if you have representation from this law firm they can professionally and honestly represent and defend your interests in this institution. I, thank them for finally giving me a voice in this arena so that my son can truly have what he needs that serves in his best interest.

I’ve been working with WBG for the better part of two years from a personal and business end. I’ve had an amazing interaction with everyone of their staff.

If you’re looking for an honest law firm who will take care of you while being fair when it comes to billing, look no further. They are truly experts at what they do and I highly recommend them for any to all of your needs. Thank you WBG!!

Martin Rosen is an outstanding attorney who champions his clients. His ability to listen deeply and understand the nuances of my situation set him apart from the start. He is exceptionally well-versed in family and divorce law. What really impressed me is his compassionate approach—he genuinely cares about his clients while maintaining a laser-like focus on the details that matter most. His strategic advice is thoughtful and effective during a time when you most need strong counsel and experience in your corner.

I fired my high end /hotshot NYC attorneys and hired Martin Rosen 18 months into my divorce negotiations — and it was the best decision I ever made! I had been through the wringer - feeling like I wasn’t being heard by my legal team and with a nagging feeling of “This just can’t be right”. From our first meeting, Martin showed compassion and vowed to fight on my behalf and get me what was legally and morally right after a 16+ year marriage. He is a highly respected Westchester lawyer and this was obvious from the minute we stepped into the courthouse together. He knows the law inside and out, and his courtroom etiquette is superb. The settlement I got was far above and beyond what my original attorneys urged me to agree to — and if that wasn’t pleasing enough, I have also made a friend for life. Martin will have your back, he will treat you with kindness and respect, and he will fight for you both inside and outside the courtroom. He is a diamond in the rough.

Martin Rosen is an excellent attorney, one whom has been there for me throughout not only the worst times in my life, but for the times after. He is attentive, knowledgable, and usage of his services purveys one with a peace of mind that is not readily attainable with less qualified lawyers. He is direct and honest, but compassionate. If you tell Mr. Rosen the actual scenario, he will obtain the best result possible; if you are in a bad place, he will put you in a better one. He is not intimidated by snark nor malice. I have used his services for my own custody issues on multiple occasions and will continue to do so as long as his name rests over his awning.
I have severe concerns regarding the recent one star review (Chris, 2024) and strongly take issue with his brazen mischaracterization of an individual whom has been there for me at my lowest as much as any professional could be asked to. I hope he gets the help he needs, but his review reads as untrue and glib. Though his flat attempts at slander, one can see a truly gauche (nay, entitled?) interior, and I simply cannot understand why someone who clearly never even used Mr. Rosen's services feels entitled to mischaracterize one's business (and thus livlihood) as they did in such a shameful and public manner. I would strongly urge any potential clients to ignore this individual's sentiments entirely.

You wont find an attorney who is smart, and empathetic at the same time as William Cooper. I have spoken to many personal injury attorneys who would go no further than a phone call. Mr. Cooper took the extra step and made inquiries for me just to try and help me with an issue that's been unresolved. He is patient, clear and concise in conversation and does not rush, he waits until you have a full understanding of all aspects of the situation. Don't waste your time searching for the right personal injury attorney, look no further than William Cooper. He is a rare find!

Joe, as someone else said, is "The best of the best" for estate planning purposes and estate matters.
He is extremely busy so sometimes he comes off as being abrupt. My parents used his services, their friends used his services and now I use his services. You will do yourself a big favor using Joe for your estate planning - he loves what he does and he does it so well.

I have known William H. Cooper and his team since 1999, and they have always treated their clients with the utmost respect while providing the best results in their respective cases.

Shari is an extremely talented attorney who cares a great deal about her clients and her firm. Shari has a strong sense of organization which helped her to always gain the upper hand in court and win a large majority of her cases. Shari is very through and competent professional who always had my interest in mind. She never missed a scheduled meeting and always took my calls. She has an exceptionally strong eye for details. Shari has a very calm demeanor that was a blessing when I was in physical therapy for a total knee replacement. I owe a debt of gratitude for her service. She is a solid lawyer who practices nothing but the best customer service for her clients. She has taken pro bono cases each year to help people who would have otherwise not been able to afford legal counsel. Shari is always available for anyone who is need of legal assistance.

My experience with Ivana has been nothing short of outstanding. During the most upsetting situation she stepped right in to ensure I fully understood what needed to be done, what to expect, and how to separate the emotion of what I felt to what legally was possible and necessary so that I could listen to her counsel and "let her do her job," which she did without missing a beat. Her confidence, knowledge and willingness to be available anytime put my mind at ease, and for me this was in many ways lifesaving. Ivana keep me informed at every instance, and to her credit she listened to me "sharing" advice and pressing a bit to move forward with patience and grace.
As we are nearing the final steps please know you and Ivana helped in ways I am still unable to fully articulate. Thank you for the good work you do, it is important and necessary. You never really understand the phrase "you don't know what you don't know" until you are in the midst of a dire situation and you and Ivana took over to guide me through what I did not know to help me extricate myself from an untenable situation. I could not have asked for better representation.

Ivana was extremely helpful throughout my entire divorce process. From our initial consultation, I walked away with a lot of information, and not feeling as lost as I first felt when faced with this challenge. She gave a clear and honest overview of the process ahead of me.
Upon hiring her, and throughout the process she was always available and extremely quick in her responses to any questions or concerns that I had. She was consistently professional with both myself and with all the other lawyers that we dealt with, even when some of those lawyers were less than professional. In addition to handling all legal aspects of this case in a superb manner, she went above and beyond to help me through this process emotionally - when I would be at my wits end because of the frustrating antics of my ex, she would remind me of the big picture and walk me through all my options to help me feel more in control of the situation.
Not once during this whole process did I doubt my choice in hiring her as my attorney. I felt very supported and guided. I would highly recommend Ivana to anyone going through the divorce process.

I cannot express enough gratitude for Jessica and Meredith and their incredible team for their outstanding support and expertise throughout my court case. From the very beginning, they were not only professional and knowledgeable but also deeply compassionate and understanding of my situation.
Jessica and Meredith fought tirelessly on my behalf and ensured that every detail was handled with care and precision. Their dedication to my case was evident in every interaction, and they always made me feel supported and heard. The entire team was equally remarkable, always responsive, organized, and willing to go above and beyond to help.
Thanks to their efforts, we achieved a settlement that exceeded my expectations. The outcome will make a significant difference in my life and my children’s lives, and I owe it all to Jessica’s hard work and determination.
If you are looking for a lawyer who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about her clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica and Meredith. They are truly exceptional, and I feel so fortunate to have had them in my corner during this challenging time.

My experience with Jessica Ressler and her firm has been amazing! It is very difficult to find the delicate balance of not only an attorney that listens and hears you, but represents your best interest. I am been involved in an extremely complex and litigious battle. Without her caring yet determined approach, I am not quite sure if I would have been able to make it through.... Every step of the way, Jessica has been communicative, forthright, and available. I have always been made to feel heard, which is invaluable when going thru the complexities of such emotional and financial stress. Jessica is beyond brilliant, the hardest worker I know, and is so determined to fight for her clients best interests, my best interests. I am thrilled to have found her and her firm! Every single person in that office deserves more than 5 stars!!

I had a very frustrating, and potentially negatively life altering, experience with Ms. Ressler earlier this year. The error on her part cost my family time, frustration, and stress to myself and my children.
I was advised to file a temporary order of protection which involved making claims against family members. Unbeknownst to me, Jessica Ressler has a general modus operandi of being an extremely aggressive attorney, regardless of the situation. Her tactics involve getting her clients temporary orders of protection, involving the police, and using false statements. For those who are not aware, these tactics often negatively impact children. She treats every case the same, and her reputation in the industry is well known as being overly aggressive to the point of being detrimental to her clients and their cases. Further, her strategy unnecessarily involves child protective services who are legally obligated to investigate each case, and each parent, regardless of the accusations made.
Without going into significant personal detail, the filings I made under Ms. Ressler's guidance landed me in the cross hairs of CPS for no apparent reason. The result could have led to a permanent record, termination from my job, and an inability to be involved in some children's activities. When I pointed this out to Ms. Ressler, I was met with vague explanations and no real accountability, nor help to assist me from a legal standpoint. While initially she was attentive to my questions, once this occurred, her communication stopped instead of following up on ways to assist me, as though she signed off from my case. Ultimately, the CPS case was resolved without issue based on evidence provided by my family.
It should be noted that Ms. Ressler was recently formally admonished in court for her tactics and procedures. As previously stated, her reputation amongst attorneys in the NYC metro area is well known, and not well regarded.
I would not trust this lawyer with anything important and would highly caution others to do their due diligence before hiring her. I strongly suggest looking elsewhere for legal counsel.

If you are getting divorced, thinking about getting divorced, or have any sort of custody issues, pick up the phone and call Larry LaRaus. He will make sure he understands what's important to you and be in your corner every step of the way, knowing what tactic to use when -- whether that's being a pit bull in the courtroom, a suave diplomat in negotiations, or penning the most biting, on-point messages to your ex's lawyer that they're silenced. He will do all of these things with his signature grace, fierce confidence, strong ethic, and warm humor that will be a beacon of sanity, reason, and assurance during this process. He has a deep and nuanced understanding of the law, and he expertly navigated the complexity of my case, which had been initiated in a different state, involved a special needs child, and featured a revolving door of opposing counsel. He brought a rare combination of empathy, practicality, and ferocity to my divorce -- and he got things done in a way I feel great about. While I may not have made the best decision in choosing a husband, choosing Larry to represent me in my divorce was the best decision I ever made -- for myself and my kids.

I found the communication to be less effective than I had hoped. There were instances where my questions went unanswered, and I felt a bit lost in the process without sufficient guidance. I believe there may be opportunities for improvement, especially when assisting new buyers, particularly within the Hispanic community.
I do not recommend him

Nicholas Carre is not to do business with he is not reliable and very unprofessional. He is only there for money and once he gets it that’s it he will not finish up his part of the deal.
So I recently sold my home back in March of 2024 and I made a contract agreement with the buyers to hold money in an escrow account and once the issues was completed the money was suppose to be released to me instead I have not got anything and I been reaching out to him and his office since April and he just ignore the calls… ignore the emails. I even went down to the office in person and they told me I couldn’t speak to him he not there I waited and still nothing.. if someone ever recommends him do not use him at all he has now been dodging me and my boyfriend for almost a year now.. I repeat do not do any business with him or his company. I now have to get legal involve and file complaints against him.

Greg got me every single thing on my wishlist that I wanted and asked for during my divorce. From Day 1 he was straight up with me. I had a couple hiccups throughout this process, but Greg still managed to get the job done. I sincerely appreciate Greg's hard work, transparency, and being straight up with me every single step of the way.

Greg exceeded all my expectations. He was extremely knowledgeable, caring, compassionate, and guided me to make all the right calls. I can't speak highly enough of Greg. He will fight for you; he listens attentively; he's reliable; and will win your case. I couldn't imagine having better representation. Extremely satisfied.

Greg Salant was straightforward beginning with the consultation through what was a very long and trying negotiation. I'm glad that he was recommended to me, and that I hired him. His response times are prompt, he's very thorough and prepared, and most importantly - he knows the law. Your divorce attorney isn't a shoulder to cry on, but there were a few times I felt like throwing in the proverbial towel. Fortunately, Greg encouraged me to keep going for the sake of my children and I'm glad I did. Divorce is incredibly difficult and complex, but you can be confident that Greg will help you navigate through the mess if you hire him.

I engaged Tamara after my collaborative divorce process failed. We dealt with a multi-state issue, complex financials with one side much more financially astute than the other. She guided me well as well as worked well with competing counsel to get to an out-of course settlement and agreement which has both stood the test of time and was fair across the board.

Tamara is the best lawyer with extreme care to the clients. She has the charisma and integrity that’s hard to find. Divorce was one of the most difficult time in my life, especially when it involved domestic violence. Tamara showed to me how much she cares about me as a person, not just as a client. She always kept a big picture for me, advised me what’s the priority in my life, and made sure I got out of the divorce with healthy mentality which is most important to me and my kids. She is amazing in promptly replying phone calls and emails and highly efficient in writing documents. After my divorce, confliction still arises occasionally with my ex, and Tamara always provides her best guidance to me as the most trustworthy lawyer you can rely on. Tamara is the lawyer I always feel lucky to meet in my life. Thank you!

Tamara gave me outstanding and knowledgable advice during my separation and throughout the divorce process, which entailed negotiating the details of Soberlink testing for custody. Tamara was extremely responsive and quick to draft detailed and complex stipulations and documents. She is extremely professional and personable, with a quick wit, and her experience in Westchester courts was a huge asset. I cannot recommend her more highly. She shepherded me through what was the most traumatic experience in my life, with skill, patience, and, above all, her vast legal knowledge.

Would recommend Mitch Cohen without any hesitation or equivocation -- he handled my complicated and potentially volatile divorce perfectly. I came to him wary of lawyers, in general, and found him to be expert on a range of matters -- very capable of calming my unwarranted concerns while at the same time pointing out areas that warranted greater attention. A terrific coach without becoming a "therapist". Exceptionally sensible and efficient w/ his time -- I never felt the "clock" running inappropriately; not for a second. Greatly exceeded expectations in all parameters. I really didn't know it was possible to find a divorce lawyer of his calibre.

Mitch Cohen combines professional excellence, legal expertise, and care for his clients in a way that is unparalleled in my experience. Meticulous in his knowledge of the law (and, frankly, of human nature), he always gave me excellent legal advice in the face of very fraught and contentious circumstances. His sense of both the long game and the short game helped me to come away with the best possible outcome at each turn. He also has a calm, cool demeanor that is extremely effective both in negotiations and in court proceedings. When he speaks, it is with the authoritative backing of a deep understanding of the details of the case and the relevant case law, and he has an amazing talent for saying just the right thing at just the right time. It was clear throughout my time working with him that the judge, the AFCs, and even the opposing counsel had tremendous respect for him. On more than one occasion, with a single sentence, he was able to direct the course of an entire court conference. During what has easily been the most traumatic period of my life, Mitch was my constant counsel, advocate, and champion, and I could not have had someone better by my side.

Mr. Cohen was an amazing lawyer who has helped me to survive a complex and contentious divorce. The case would have dragged on much longer and costed much more had Mr. Cohen not been my lawyer. He always sought the best outcome in the most efficient and expeditious way with my best interest in mind Through his strategic planning and persistence, he brought an impossible case to a satisfactory end during the pandemic. His rigor, ethics and client focus earned the respect of his peers and the court. I am eternally grateful and would highly recommend his services.

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.
