I came to Isaiah with a very emotionally charged case that involved changing the custody agreement for my child. Isaiah was honest and real with me from the beginning. I always felt heard, understood and knew that the best interests of my case were his priority. I could not have asked for a better outcome in the courtroom. I am beyond thankful that Isaiah is in my corner!

Isaiah has been my lawyer for three years. He helped me through a divorce and custody battle as well as a criminal case. I’ve never doubted him and have trusted his advice and knowledge over the years. Isaiah has his clients best interest at heart. He will go to the ends of the world to make sure he is doing everything he possibly can to help you. I always feel like I’m his only client. He is dedicated, determined, smart, not afraid to ask his associates for help in order to handle your case with the best of his abilities. He isn’t afraid of the courtroom. I can’t say enough great things about him. I am very grateful and lucky to have Isaiah on my side. This is the man you want to fight along side you in court.

Baend isn’t your average attorney. He was upfront and even told me initially he may not be able to handle my case as it wasn’t his specialty, but promised to be transparent thru the process. He ended up doing an amazing job, despite my case becoming much more complicated than he originally anticipated. Baend’s hardwork and willingness to dig deep for evidence in my case, provided a more favorable outcome than I had hoped for.

Loved the experience of working with Kellsie Singleton. She was great and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. She was on top of things and always stayed in touch and communicated everything with me so I always knew what was happening and where we were at in our case. Kellsie was very open and very caring about the situation. Highly recommend her as an awesome attorney! The biggest weight was lifted off my shoulders when we became a team. Thank you so much for the life changing experience!

Kellsie was amazing and we couldn't have hired a better attorney for the job with our case. She was very professional, knowledgeable, but also very friendly and easy to work with. She was honest and transparent with us through the entire process which made us feel like we were a team. Her communication skills are superb and if I had a question she quickly responded. Having Kellsie on our team made me extremely confident going into court as she was very well prepared. I will shout her recommendation from the rooftops!

If you are in need of an attorney in the state of Wyoming seek no further, Jamie Woolsey, is the one. She is so professional but overall she is so patient and understanding. If you are like me that is not into law and don’t understand all that language, she takes her time and explains it to in ways that you understand. She gives you examples that make sense. Overall I appreciate it is her who is in contact with you directly and also keeps you informed. She doesn’t just collect money from you, she goes beyond to assist you.
I highly recommend her services. I hope we won’t need her but if we did we definitely use her once again.

Rennie did not advocate for me effectively, nor did she seem interested in ascertaining the facts in the case. She came into the case with her own agenda and prejudices. I would not recommend any male work with her in a divorce proceeding because they will not get the representation they deserve. Communication was also lacking and delays in responding and following up were common.
Note: After this review posted there were numerous follow up correspondences trying to convince me to take it down. I may have received more emails for the review than for the services I paid for.

Sarah and her staff are definitely devoted to their clients' needs and interests. Thank you very much Sarah and staff.

I consulted with Ryan Wright on a variety of legal matters. He is very skilled and practices in several areas of law- which is so helpful to his clients. He also practices throughout Wyoming, which I thought was impressive. I would highly recommend him to any of friends or family that needed legal representation. He is friendly, dedicated and smart- all the things you want in an attorney.

I haven't (luckily) had too many run-ins with law enforcement, but when I did, as an out of town traveler in WY, I was terrified. It was a product of unfortunate circumstance, and I didn't know where to turn and what to do.
I feared that if I contracted a lawyer, (s)he'd take an arm and a leg and leave me to still pay heavy court fines without any result. But I also realized that I needed one, and after a few weeks of deep research, I landed on Ryan Wright.
Initially, his education and reviews sold me on the firm, but from the beginning it was clear to me that I had made an excellent decision for one of the most stressful moments in my life. Ryan, from the get go, was intelligent, a keen listener, and shrewd in his approach. He has an excellent understanding of the law as well as intuition for nuance, and – most importantly – goes wayyyy above and beyond to ensure that his clients have the best deal possible. He did that for me than anyone I've ever hired, at a very fair (and even slightly below market) price.
In the end, I got a pocket deferral, which to laypeople (such as myself) is the equivalent of the holy grail in court results – it happens very, very rarely. Don’t get me wrong – Ryan never guaranteed that result (he couldn’t – no lawyer can – due to the element of chance) but I have no doubt in my mind that he did every single thing in his power to make that happen.
If you’re debating whether Ryan is a sound choice – I hope this review puts your mind at ease. I’d choose him as my lawyer 10/10 times, and I am by nature someone cautious and slow to build trust with.
Thank you Ryan, for everything :)
Happy holidays to you, your family, and the Wright Law Firm family!

I hired Stacy for a complicated custody situation. She did not back down and represented me as a professional.

Thank you Stacy, for everything you did for me and my Son!

The impact that a great lawyer can have on one’s life is unmeasurable. This journey wasn’t easy and truly tested my patience and at some moments faith, but I trusted Stacy’s word and now I can finally stop the worries and have my son with full custody.
I have had the opportunity to work with Stacy on several occasions over the last three years and she is hands down the one and only lawyer I trust to represent me.
Stacy has guided and mentored me through difficult situations that I was faced with to ensure I did what was always in the best interest of my son. She has told me the truth at times when I did not want to hear it, but knowingly it was the right advice to take. She encouraged me to teach myself how to separate my emotions and stay professional at all times.
As I said this has been a journey, but I chose the right path to take and that was to hire Stacy.

After working with another attorney for months, I was getting discouraged so I met with Stacy to discuss my uphill chances, as a dad and a defendant, to get primary custody of my infant daughter. Stacy immediately demonstrated her superior legal expertise.
Stacy demonstrated her outstanding ability to formulate a winning legal strategy by focusing on the most important aspects of my case - what a breath of fresh air. She quickly developed an overview and demonstrated her excellent analytical skills by pulling the relevant pieces from the large volume of written material in a matter of days. Stacy read everything! She did not cut corners.
Stacy showed her superb organizational skills by summarizing the evidence in a systematic spreadsheet, a mere glance showed in a clear fashion how the evidence fit together in a convincing manner. My case is considered difficult and complex, the seasoned judge wrote that he had not encountered in one case so many difficult aspects.
Stacy was very prompt in her communication, she works in real-time, she never left me hanging. Stacy demanded transparency and she always performed due diligence, if I could not provide evidence to confirm a claim it was not going to be used. Period. This speaks volumes about Stacy’s integrity.
I am very familiar with Stacy’s tremendous work ethic and her outstanding ability to present the essence of disparate pieces of information in a concise, persuasive manner. Stacy’s motions were clear, compelling and always filed in a timely manner. Before trial, Stacy prepared me for what to expect on the witness stand and how to conduct myself during the cross-examination by the opposing counsel. This speaks volumes for Stacy’s passion for her work.
It was in the courtroom that I saw the same professional side of Stacy, her cross-examination of witnesses was professional and devastatingly effective and without any of the horse and pony show elements used by the opposing counsel. In the weeks leading up to trial we were exchanging dozens of email a day to go over the hundreds of pages of last minute records that we received from the opposing side. To say that Stacy thoroughly prepared my case for trial is not an understatement.
Stacy made her capable and efficient staff available to me for small and big things related to the case.
I admire how personable Stacy is, her calm demeanor is very reassuring. I trust her. My confidence in her legal competence is absolute.

My experience with Kisling Law Firm, was beyond 5 star. I never felt uncomfortable, he went through every detail, quickly handled my case and was honest about everything. I would use him again in a heart beat. You don't get the chance to meet or work with
attorneys like this one very often. He really cares about his clients, thier well being and that they are taken care of. That's what I noticed the first 5 minutes I spent with him, and from there on out I was comfortable seeing him, talking, discussing my case. He even went out of his way to drop off documents at my work place to have signed because I couldn't get away. I was blown away by the treatment I received. I highly reccomend Jeremy Kisling! I will use them in the future if I need to and if anyone is looking for a great attorney to work with, they are the best!!

Mr. Wallace Stock and his team performed remarkably when he represented my wife and I for a child custody case. Mr. Stock is ethical, hard working, determined, positive and professional. We were very impressed with is ability to communicate our case and testimony to the judge. His ability in the court room exceeded our expectations. He understands the importance of client/attorney relationship and how this can strengthen ones case as demonstrated in his ability to make our interests his priority. His sincere desire to perform well was shown in his overwhelming preparation for our court appearance. He consistently demonstrated extensive commitment and expert law advice before, during and after our court proceedings. We definitely felt that we were a priority for him and his staff throughout our tenure. Additionally, we learned that Mr. Stock has an excellent rapport and is well respected throughout the lawyer community.

It's not common to talk with a lawyer in regards to a legal situation when the lawyer has nothing to gain from the conversation, but this is exactly what happened when I contacted Joshua Merseal. I called Josh and he quickly and politely fit me into his schedule later that day. When we spoke later Josh took his time listening to my situation and provided answers to every question I asked of him. Once we were ending the phone call I asked if he would be able to take this case on. He stated that he would like to, but needed to put the majority of his time towards a large case which he expected to end in February. In the end I was able to receive quality legal assistance from an individual, who I believe, just enjoys helping others.

My review of Mr. Merseal's legal representation
Joshua is greatly knowledgeable in criminal defense.
He showed concern for my legal issue, explained what process we should follow and how we should move forward. Joshua treated me with attention handling my serious legal issue with extreme caution giving me several options to choose from and informed me which one would work best in my case. He did exactly what we agreed to and the outcome was in my favor my family's money was well spent for his time and efforts. I am glad we chose Mr. Merseal to help us get through this hardship you defiantly need him on your side of the court room. Joshua is well educated ( on both sides of the fence so to speak knowing the defensive and prosecution.) He knew what path to search out to get my family the best possible outcome. Mr. Merseal had my felony charge dismissed to a misdemeanor and ultimately saved me from losing everything. Need I say more? Very Satisfied very Trustworthy......

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You

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.

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.

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.

- 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.
