I had a delicate situation when looking for a divorce lawyer as my now ex-wife was labeled terminally ill. Knowing how that appeared, I was upfront with Mrs. Kosub who heard my whole story before agreeing to take me as a client. She understood my position and did her best to represent me. Throughout the entire process, she kept explanations simple and reassured me any time I was worried during the trial. She was very professional and kept a level head, which helped me maintain my cool as well.

As a non-resident of the State of Texas and facing the unknown of Texas probate law, I contacted Attorney Mary Brown to provide a consult and recommendation as to the best course of action for me to pursue in closing out the estate of a deceased friend who had named me their executor. Mrs. Brown came to the consult well prepared to address my specific situation and laid out, step-by-step, the best route to pursue with respect to both time and preservation of the estate assets. I am extremely grateful for her assistance and I highly recommend her services for probate matters.

I'm a sinlge mother and my son has severe disabilites that limit everyday life for a young child. I recently started tto get back on my feet when the unthinkable could ever happen to anyone that have children with any disability. My landlord was evicting me and my family for any reason he could come up with because he didn't want my son to destroy his property. It took everything I had to get in the house so my son could have an enviroment that he could be safe in. I researched a couple of attorney's and I was so strtessed she was the thrid name on the list and I called. Kathleen was extremely personable and way beyond reproach. I knew when I spoke with her on the phone I found somone I that would take care of my situtation with the upmost trust. After I met with her she filed an answer and prepared me for the court hearing. She is amazing she knows the law very well and she fights for justice. If I ever need someone in my cornoer again she will be the first I call. She not only cared about the case she cared about me and my family. I am so very thankful that she took this case and my son and I still have a home. If you need someone to be in your cornor I highly recommend Mrs. Kathleen Brown, the integrity she has is above all the rest.

Ms. Marsh is what i like to refer to as a pitbull. She will give 1000% to your case whatever it maybe. We hired her to represent us in a custody case. It was grandparents (us) vs. Biological father. It was a long case 3 years long but in the end we overcame the parental presumption and our grandson was allowed to stay with us. All due to the hard work and diligence of Ms. Marsh

We hired Sarah to represent our 13 year old son who was arrested at school over a misunderstanding. We had previously hired someone else who never returned our calls or emails timely. Sarah always responded within 24 hours. She took the time to listen and get to know us. She went above and beyond investigating the case and reviewing the evidence and we obtained great results. We are so glad we can put this nightmare behind us and that our son can go on with his life without a juvenile record. Unlike the first attorney (we won’t mention names) Sarah refunded the unused amount of the retainer that we paid.

She picks and chooses who to attack. She for adoption unless you pay her. She purposely lies and manipulates facts. She has many character flaws and so does her own family. If she doesn't like you she nit picks everything she let a child go to drug dealers. She acts like she can make mental health diagnosis. She is and will always be a horrible person and lair. Can't wait to see this women go up against the bar.

I retained Rita for an uncontested divorce in 2010. Her retainer was more than reasonable. I think I paid a $1700 retainer and her paperwork showed she completed it for around $1200; very honest. She also seems very experienced and as a result, was very direct and to-the-point. She said what needed to be said and didn't waste time discussing things that didn't need discussed; which worked out great for me since I wasn't there for a $200/hr friend to chat with.
Everything was filed where it needed to be and all expected paperwork showed up when I was told it would. Was happily divorced as soon as permitted.

A friend referred her to me and said she was a fighter and would fight for my rights as a mother. She barely let me talk and said that I didn't have a case because the judge and the other attorney shared an office in the past and were very good friends and that the attorney probably took measures to make sure that judge was the presiding judge which I thought was unethical. Rita just kept saying that I was screwed and I would lose and have to pay child support. She was very rude and inconsiderate, stirred up conflict of interest fears about the judge, and treated me like I was a criminal.

The level of communication is awful. The amount of work he put into my case was minimal. He accepted my payment and seemed not to care what happened subsequently. He is in this for a paycheck and sadly doesn’t deserve it. Also, he failed to show up for my final court date and his receptionist laughed and said “I thought we were done with you, you’re not on my paper for a court date.” Well, you goofed. Sums up Mahlers practice perfectly.

I went to Rick Mahler because i thought he was the best option. I waa completley wrong. He represented me for a divorce/custody battle, Rick informed me there was no way my ex would get custody and he felt good about the case. Well after i pay him 3,500 i couldn't for the life of me get a hold of anyone in the office. After talking to Jessica multiple times resurring me i would recieve a call i never did. So here comes trail time which Rick did absolutley nothing for me didn't even try to argue with my ex's attorney literally just sat there. Anyways after the trail was said and done i was told i was divorced. WRONG!!! my trail took place (07/15.) I call the court house up where the trail was taken place to get a copy of my divorce papers (06/17) since i never recieved them. I was informed that i was still legally married. I call Mahler's office finally got a hold of Jessica and they had no clue what the hell i was still married. Jessica told me she would get back with me ASAP, Which of course she did not nor did Rick. So i get a lawyer in Fort Worth and finally get answers my ex didnt finish paying his attoerny so he didn't file the decree. I'm not sure why i found out before he did. But this is completley unprofessinal especially how much i payed i received terrible service . So if you want a good lawyer don't waste your time and money here!

When i was charged with a 2nd degree felony in Wichita County, I set forth with the task of retaining a criminal defense attorney. Due to my unfamiliarity in the county where i was charged, I didn't have a great deal of information to use as a guide for retaining the most competent attorney, or one that I could be somewhat confident would keep my best interests at heart and represent me to the best of their ability. Also, I thought that I would be kept updated on any proceedings, or information that pertained to my case, in a timely fashion.
When I was in the process of searching for the most qualified, experienced attorney, with a successful record representing similar cases, I called and spoke with Mr. Mahler, and he was very charismatic, and convincing when selling himself and his ability to represent me in my case. After a short time, I retained Mr. Mahler as my criminal defense attorney and paid him in advance $5000.00 for his services.
At this point, the communication from Mr. Mahler and his staff pretty much ceased. I not only was not contacted to provide updates with regards to my case and what course of action Mr. Mahler was considering to defend me, I couldn't even get a call back from Rick or any member or his staff when I had questions or concerns regarding various information I had received from other sources (ie. bondsman.) Then when I finally was able to confirm that I had basically been misled to believe that Rick had negotiated the conditions of my bond agreement with the Central Magistrate's office, and that I was totally in compliance with the conditions of my bond. But I continued to be scheduled for bond condition hearings every month, which I found odd. After the 4th hearing was set, I decided since I couldn't get a straight answer from my attorney or any member of his legal staff, I needed to seek out this information from any other source possible, to have clarification that I was in fact complying with the conditions of my bond. Considering I could have a warrant issued for my arrest if I wasn't complying with those conditions, I felt this to be very important, and cause for concern on my part. This is when I was informed after calling the Magistrate's office myself, that although my attorney had filed a Request to Modify the Conditions of my bond, the Judge had never signed the Request and had neither accepted nor declined the request. I was told that the Judge had shortly thereafter, taken a leave of absence for medical reasons, and was not available to speak with me. The lack of information given to me by my attorney that I paid to work in my best interests, could have quite possibly landed me in jail for bond violations, and caused my bonding agency to withdraw my bond for non compliance of conditions. I felt that this behavior was totally unethical, unprofessional, and counterproductive for me and my case. When I contacted Mr. Mahler's office after being notified by my bondsman that my case had been no-billed (dismissed,) to confirm that this information was accurate, I was told by Christy that I would be contacted by Rick ASAP. To this day (2 months after the dismissal of my charges,) I have yet to be notified by my attorney of this, and if I was entirely reliant on just the information provided by him and his staff, I would still be going to and having weekly Urinalysis performed at my own expense ($60 per test,) to comply with the conditions of my bond, for a case that is no longer even active, and for charges that have been dismissed "in the interest of justice."
Rick Mahler never had to respond to an indictment, enter a plea, or negotiate an agreement with the District Attorney in my case. I was never indicted for the charges that were filed against me, and I feel at the very least for the $5000 that I paid for his representation, that I should have been notified of the dismissal of the charges, which would have alleviated a great deal of stress in my life.

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.
