From the moment I reached out for a consultation I was treated respectfully and kindly by everyone at Richter & Philips LLP. I hired Ashley to help with my pre-nuptial agreement and I have to say, Ashley did an amazing job looking out for my best interest. She was very thorough and detail-oriented. She helped me understand the entire process and ensured that I completely understood all verbiage, potential future scenarios, and documents. Overall, I'm very happy Ashley was my lawyer. She's friendly, intelligent, and I felt safe in her hands.

Was the worst divorce lawyer. Promised me everything and then I ended up having to get into debt after paying them 11k for my divorce

Needed to speak to an attorney after I got into a car accident and this team was quick to respond and address all of my concerns within the same hour. I've previously had a hard time getting in contact with attorneys for other legal matters but this process was a lot different. They were great with follow-ups and communication and I couldn't have asked for a better result. Thank you

22 Aug, 2024 by Kelly moon

Attorney Kuehn has a thorough knowledge of the law and defended my case with determination. He took me through a 2 year brutal divorce with excellent results. I appreciated working with him because he cares and goes above and beyond instead of handing you as a “case”. He definitely has your best interest in mind, I highly recommend giving him a call.

Amanda Belville was awesome! When she first started representing me, I thought I knew how I wanted everything to go, even against her recommendations, and when she advised me to just let her take care of things, her secretary told me, “Just trust Amanda”…..and I’m so glad that I did! She not only stopped me from sabotaging my own case, but she took care of everything, and got even more, and better, results than I was even asking for. And she did it fast! I could not have done these things myself. If I had to sum it all up in a few words….Amanda got things done!

09 Aug, 2022 by Steve marcus

Cheryl Gemignani's mediation tactics were a complete failure for my case. Her element of surprise was more of a temporary stun. We thought we had an agreement only to have it backfire the next day when my wife had time to think more about it. We could have had much greater success knowing and preparing for the other's position prior to mediation. Thousands of dollars were wasted. We now sit 3 months later with no progress.

I had an appointment with Corey Monitho, and when I showed up (on-time) I was told he got delayed at court. When I asked if he would be calling me to reschedule, I was told no, that I would have to call him to reschedule. So I never called back. I'm glad I didn't spend any $$ here, but I wish they had been more professional.

she didnt even know what was going on in court. she told me one thing left court and I got a call from a family member saying the court was trying to take my daughter from me and place her with the other parent. so I called Margery and she acted as if she had no clue and wouldn't do anything about it then sent me a bill for things she never did.

She was my free public defender. I asked for a different lawyer as she wasn't interested in really helping me in my case. Pam then told me how I could end up with an even worse lawyer. And when I lost, she showed not an ounce of compassion during the whole process.

I don't usually like to give bad reviews but of late I've decided to as to warn people so they don't go what I had to, I have a mental disorder that causes high amounts of anxiety... but I went to Pat with my sister who acts as a personal representative as I was going through a divorce -- and so we asked her if she could just help us write up a settlement for the divorce and offer to my husband as due to my mental issues and depression of the divorce we really wanted to avoid any battles of court hearings. My initial opinion was that Pat seems to be a beautiful caring person as she listened intently and then asked me how much I wanted, which was very important to me, I really wanted to work with someone I could trust. But a week or so later she asked for a meeting with my husband and his attorney and for an hour asked questions that could have been answered within moments on a questionnaire. I thought there must be a reason but after the meeting she told me she felt based on certain aspects I could get more than I wanted, which that was not at all what I wanted to do yet never would answer what she think I could get yet sent constant emails which most made no sense and clearly were only to create a bigger bill. I constantly asked her to include my sister but she never did and I finally became so tense I ended up creating the settlement myself and had to be the one to sit with my husband to negotiate which between him and I, I agreed to pay Pat's fees if they went over a certain amount as I figured she wouldn't be charging too much... Then in the end she planned on hiding her fees from me leaving them completely off the settlement I was to sign, the actual official settlement. But I pressed her and she finally told me which I was pretty upset. The only good thing she did was make it where I didn't have to be present for the court hearing but in retrospect she probably figured then I wouldn't see the fees at all till it was too late to react to them. When I last seen her to sign the paper work I watched her pale as I told her of my agreement with my husband and that I was the one who'd now have to pay her for most of that out of my pocket which after finding out what she was going to charge to her I would never hire again. So unfortunately that's my experience with Pat and for me it hurts as I really wanted to trust her but based on my experience with her I would never hire her for anything again. As for my husband's lawyer I'd hire her in a heart beat. She protected him as best she could and from what he told me didn't overcharge for her services at all.

05 Apr, 2016 by Anonymous

Pat did an excellent job with my difficult and unique situation. She was able to get me through an extremely difficult time with ease. Additionally, she was able to calm me down by thoroughly explaining my options and not making me feel as though I should just 'give in'. I would recommend Pat to my friends and family, should the need arise and would retain her again, should I need to.

19 Jun, 2015 by Rochelle

Pat has been my go-to attorney for years following my original divorce.( I wish she had represented me then too, and perhaps, I wouldn't have needed any further trips to court). I retained her originally based on a recommendation from someone else who'd used her. Boy, were they right! My experience has been that she is supportive and knowledgeable. She listens. She also allows you to vent, explain, cry, get angry, or whatever it is that you need, while providing the solid legal expertise that is necessary to 'win' your case( Family Law has no real winners- but she gets as close to a win as possible). Pat allowed me to make my own decisions about the case but also knew when I needed to be pulled back into reality. I would recommend her to anyone who has a family law situation. I am just saying, if my case didn't make her retire--- she is battle tested-- and can handle anything and anyone! She knows the law and the legal system so she will use it to her best ability to get the outcome that is right for you. One of the best there is...

I met with Joe to discuss a potential marital decision, and Joe was very Informative and supportive. He talked me through my options and reiterated that his goal is to sustain marriages to the best of his ability. The advice provided by Joe provided him with no compensation, but he was more than willing to devote time to meet with me.

10 Sep, 2017 by Anonymous

In my opinion, Joe's performance was fair. He did not go the "extra mile" with our case. We had two hearings and Joe was fifteen minutes late to the first hearing, stating that he had printer problems. He requested that we should meet early to discuss the case before the hearing, but he arrived too late for any private time to discuss concerns prior to the hearing. The little amount of time we had left over, Joe spent having a small talk discussion with the GAL (who actually arrived early) about their personal leisure time. Luckily, the court commissioner was running behind that day and the hearing still took place as planned. Joe was not able to provide answers to questions that I had pertaining to protective services. He offered to try to obtain answers from a friend and to research them. When no specific answers were relayed back to me after I inquired, he said that his friend did not respond and may have been on vacation. Joe was not able to give any detailed answers from the research he said he would provide for me in regard to questions pertaining to the type of protective services that our county could actually provide. This lack of information caused me to change the court requests, which ended up costing more in the end. Joe also did not have a receptionist, nor did he have an out of office message or greeting to indicate that he was going to be out of the office for a vacation. He did respond back to me after a lapse, letting me know that he had been taking a vacation. Overall, Joe was polite and did return messages and phone calls to actually work through the guardianship process to the final court date. However, there were times during the process that could have gone smoother with the above written concerns, and a few others. Recently, I hired another law firm for estate planning. Their team of two lawyers, along with their paralegal was an extremely positive experience and I wish that working with Attorney Hentz could have been as positive.

25 Sep, 2015 by Kelly schneider robbins

I posted a question on Avvo and doubted that anyone would answer since I didn't pay. Joe answered my question within hours of my asking and gave great advice. I had wanted clarification of the statute and that's what I got--in plain English. Made a very difficult and stressful situation more tolerable.

Horrible experience. Hired Adam Bernander for a divorce case, worst mistake I have ever made. He does not care about you or your case, they only care about cashing your checks. Communication is an absolute joke. After 6 months of getting absolutely nothing accomplished I fired them and went elsewhere.

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.

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.
