I thought from the beginning that my case was just to complicated . My son passed away a few yes ago .. I went from having custody to a botched court hearing with another attorney, which caused me to end up with visitation. Over the following year things went well, that is until the moms boyfriend interfered and I ended up missing Months of seeing my sons children (my gkids whom I practically raised since they were born) .. So I went to look for Another Attorney. I found Michael Bryant and he put me at ease and promised that he’d get this taken care of .. which HE DID!!! Michael understood everything from the start ! Was Bery knowledgeable , honest , trustworthy from the start . If you want an attorney with the Best Outcome I’d definitely hire him !! His whole staff is also great to work with ., If I Ever need his services again I Definitely will give him a shout :)

Michael was fantastic. Whenever I had questions, he was always sure to give me an answer. Whenever something new would come up, he had a way to navigate it. I never felt pressured in any scenario and he got me everything I needed or asked for.

Michael was my second attorney with a custody case my case lasted almost 2 years and was probably one of the worst experiences of my life. I did a lot of research to look for an attorney when my current one was not representing me And my daughter, the way I sold an attorney should. I consulted with Michael after reading reviews and hired him after the initial consultation. I will say Michael is very straightforward. He will tell you exactly how it is with no sugarcoating. He will probably make you mad because he pissed me off many many times but it was because he knows what he is talking about and he either, wanted to prepare me for what was coming or he knew the direction that I was going to was going to lead to a fail in my case. I was facing pretty much my daughters dad getting 50-50 custody with me and everything split down the middle that was looking at the best outcome and to me and my daughter that would be devastating. My daughters, dad and his attorney made me look like a monster, a dramatic, crazy monster. It was a horrible two years of him, badgering me, and trying to gaslight me in word, twisting and threats but somehow I look like the reasonable one and really thought that it was a possibility I could lose custody of my daughter ended up going to a trial that lasted a day and a half and end up I got full custody. I got full medical he does have visitations not 50% but not the one day week every other weekend. I am very happy with the outcome, my daughter‘s dad and his attorney whole case was how horrible , I am or Michael focused his whole case on what was best for my daughter what would be the best for her? Michael put my daughters interest, happiness, well-being and we won the case. I am very great full for Micheal and his staff for not only helping me through this difficult time and working hard to get me a good outcome, but for putting up with me for two years, I am not the easiest person to deal with I can be very dramatic, especially when it comes to my child. I really wouldn’t say that I had a downside to my experience with Michael and his team except maybe sometimes his staff would not respond to emails or phone calls as quickly as I would have liked them too, but I’m not the only client I Know that. For the trial, I feel like Michael prepared me very well. I thought he argued his case extremely well and the outcome shows that so if you were looking for custody divorce, any kind of family law I highly recommend Michael

I can't say enough about Catherine, Jenn, and Gabi. They are exactly who I needed to protect me. The insurance companies weren't cooperating, but everyone at VanMeveren Law Group was there to help look out for me every step of the way. They were tough with the insurance company, but unbelievably sweet and kind to me. Catherine kept me informed with everything that transpired and was always asking how I was doing. I'd recommend VanMeveren, Catherine, Jenn, and Gabi to anyone!

I was injured in an auIto accident and felt ignored by the insurance of the other party. I looked for a local law group instead of large group. The personal touch I immediately felt cannot be emphasized enough. Coupled with the obvious professionalism made this difficult experience much less stressful and I could focus on my recovery. I was in frequent contact via phone with my attorney and staff. Checked on weekly for my health and recovery. It was a complicated medical situation but they pushed through. In the End, My medical bills were covered, my therapy was covered and I received a total of $75,000 and the attorney fees were very fair and reasonable and upfront. I cannot thank them enough. I would recommend them for those who want personalized service and not be lost in a huge law firm only interested in the money. They deserve the incredible service of this Legal Team.

Rick is the absolute best! If (like me) this is the first time you have needed a lawyer, it can be a very scary process. Rick was communicative, and honest about all proceedings and will work to get you the best outcome. He takes an interest in his clients and is dedicated to his work. You won't do better than Rick and his great team of paralegals. 5 stars.

I strongly recommend Michael Shumway. He’s very responsive to calls and emails, demonstrates a deep understanding of the law, and carries himself with confidence in the courtroom. His ability to handle sensitive topics like trauma and domestic violence with both skill and compassion is particularly impressive. Additionally, Michael is easy to talk to and approachable, making the entire process more comfortable.

I was catapulted into divorce, and blindsided by my (then) husband. From the moment I walked into Matt’s office, I was welcomed with kindness, empathy, strength, lots of tissues and I left with a plan. Matt and Jen took their time to hear “my story” and really listened to my hopes for my marriage as well as my worries about divorce. Matt and Jen were there EVERY STEP of the way from start to finish, 2.5 years of false accusations, malicious and fabricated statements that attacked my role as a mum, my integrity and could have significantly impacted my career. I genuinely thought I was going crazy. Matt and Jen never wavered in their continued support and belief in me and the truth despite the oppositional fabrications. They never once believed I was what was being said. They plowed through many ( and I mean many) emotional and some times erratic emails filled with 100’s of pictures, videos and screenshots of messages/emails, in response to receiving statements that were personal attacks and untrue. Matt and Jen took this all within their stride, they never once made me feel I was too much or a burden. They were my backbone at the most crushing time of my life. I felt that this wasn’t just a “job” for them they genuinely cared about what was best for me and my children. My case was complex for many reasons but was further complicated by an international move, yet Matt and Jen continued to support me from afar continuing to validate my story and their belief in me never changed regardless of my geographical location. This was evident in our recent trial, my then husband continued their fabrications on the stand, yet this did not phase Matt in the slightest, he was more than prepared and presented evidence after evidence to disprove my then husband right there on the stand. It was extremely hard and sad to witness, yet my story and my truth was finally being told and It finally hit me, I was not crazy!! I cannot thank Matt and Jen enough. Whether you are scared, worried, an emotional mess, crushed and suffocating or not, Matt and Jen will be your backbone and hold that emotional weight until you can breathe again. Matt and Jen, I can finally breathe and begin to heal so from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU.

Ken was assigned to my case as the GAL. Our first face to face meeting on or around July 12th 2020. Ken showed up empty handed. Not a pen computer or notebook. He was there to tell me the out come of his investigation that he hadn’t even properly completed or even spoke with me. He came in sit down and as I gave him my info regarding the case, I leant him a pen and paper to write notes down. I told him I was looking forward to getting my witnesses interviewed. Then he said “this has already been “corroborated”. I told him that seemed a little premature considering the only people that he had spoken with that time were the accusing party. They have a fiduciary duty to objectively go into each case. Since we had never met or spoken beyond scheduling, I was surprised he was telling me his mind was made up and this could be bad or worse. He made deals if I would take xyz class then I could get overnights. I’d take the class he would say yeah well sorry no change. Ken should never have control over kids and I would not consider him for any job. He lacked integrity, honesty, double billed me, didn’t conduct all interviews, but worst of all was not objective in working with my case. Never reunited with my oldest son and took 1093 days for the other 2. In my opinion, please do not trust this person in any legal capacity in your case.

Athena offers her services for a very competitive (and reasonable) rate, but she makes you feel like a million dollar account from start to finish. I came to her with a slightly unorthodox financial situation, and she leveraged her experience and knowledge to bring me safely to the best possible outcome, and did it with a surplus of warmth and compassion. I've worked with many attorneys throughout my adventures and mishaps, and Athena was hands down the most lovely law-related experience I've ever had.

super happy with Conner Law. After an accident that was not my fault (it was clear) I had very reasonable expectations of settling. Their insurance offered me 10% or what I thought fair. Not enough for a weekend of going out for two. I threw up my hands and grabbed Conner Law to handle it. It was a bit random, to be clear, that I used Conner Law. I previously talked to another lawyer that wanted ME to do a bunch of legwork. Not what I was in for. Conner handled everything, I did nothing. Outcome? I netted 40% more than my honest and reasonable settlement I offered their insurance. That's net. Such a screwed up system and approach by the insurance company. I'll never deal with insurance companies direct again. So, I will use Conner Law again. Very happy and just got the check. so, an immediate happy

I came to meet Stu over a year ago after I was assigned over to him. Having met both paid and legal aid attorneys, Stu is by far, in a class of his own. From day 1 he was very attentive to me, and gave me so much time before we even stepped into court, to just talk about things. When in court, hispresence was known. he is very respected by his peers, and has a brilliant mind for the law. He always kept me in the loop, gave me his honest opinion, always picked up his phone, and best of all, kept in contact. In the beginning, he told me what his goal was for me, and he achieved EXACTLY that goal, a dismissal. If I was not transferred to Stu and had the prior attorney, my outcome would be very different, not for the best at all. He is a GREAT Attorney and a GREAT Guy... I have him in my phone and family's phone as my attorney if I will ever need one... I thank God we crossed paths.... He really saved me...

Mr. Schalk was patient and considerate in understanding my concerns about a difficult situation I found myself in. What I most appreciated was the fact that when he said he would call me back, he did! Mr. Schalk did his research before he spoke to me about possibly strategies we could use to address my problem. He answered all of my questions. I am grateful for Mr. Schalk's insight. I would very much recommend Mr. Schalk to anyone in need of an attorney.

Hi, It was amazing working with Mrs. Bansal. My son was facing a felony and we needed help to find an attorney as soon as possible. When we got a hold of her, she went into action right away. She explained everything to us and what could happen. She had experience with the county we are in and knows exactly what to do. As soon my brother explained to her about my son’s situation, she emailed me right away and requested some stuff to help us with my son's case. Anjali gathered as much information as she could to support him and get him out. Angali did amazing today in court and made me and my family so happy and thankful. Today was my son’s trial and she was able to get him out. She showed how passionate she was about her job. She is dedicated for her clients. I hope to never have to deal with this again but if i do, I know who I will reach out too. Today was an amazing day for the whole family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It feels so good to have my son back at home. Thank you Angali.

I came across Anjali Bansal by chance. I had been arrested and was facing a dui charge. I was scared and didn’t know what to do so I just looked up a company that ended up setting me up with her and it was the best decision I could have made. She was very thorough with everything and made me feel like I wasn’t alone in this. She was very communicative and I could tell that she was passionate about my case. She stands her ground when she believes in something and I can’t thank her enough. She was able to get my dui charge reduced to a reckless driving charge which saved me a ton in fees and helped with my record.

I cannot say enough about the incredible support and assistance I received from Charles "Chip" Oxton. From the moment I reached out to him, he exhibited exceptional expertise, professionalism, and compassion in handling my custody. He ensured that my child's well-being was at the forefront of all our proceedings. I believe that what sets Chip apart is not just his exceptional legal skills but his remarkable qualities as a human being. He genuinely cares about his clients, which really mattered to me during an emotionally draining time. He was always honest and direct, even when it meant having difficult conversations. In addition to Chip, I had very nice interactions with other lawyers and assistants at his office. Feeling safe about being at a lawyer's office is reassuring in challenging times. In summary, if you find yourself in need of an attorney who has great legal skills but who is also an amazing person, I strongly recommend Chip! He had an immense impact on my life during one of the most challenging times I've ever faced.

If you have an amicable divorce go to a mediator or give a small retainer fee. This office has a NON-refundable refund for retainers. My case was during the holidays and after we signed everything the office went silent. I had to email to check status and then they would move the case. I wasn't even informed on when my divorce was finalized, I found it on public records. Although I am knowledgeable and know it was my mistake for not reading the terms, I hope this helps someone to ask about refundable retainer fees. My divorce billable hours were about 2,500. My retainer fee was 5,500 so the office made an easy $2,900.00. Hope this review helps someone in the future!

Mr. Westendorf spoke with the plaintiffs prior to the hearing and was very well spoken on our behalf during deliberation. My husband and I were both impressed with professional appearance and ability speaking to the judge under difficult circumstances that led to arrest. I absolutely believe the judge granted a “best-case-scenario” due to the level of intelligence and experience in our attorney Mr. Westendorf. He has our absolute confidence in hiring again and we both recommend the office of W&K to others with a case that requires in depth defense.

My husband was caught with distributing drugs and was facing a mandatory of 24 months in jail. We have two little girls and I automatically assumed my life would turn upside down. I contacted my uncle who hired Ben Datika in the past for his sons case. Long story short Ben Datika comforted me and promised me that he will do his best on my husbands case. It is very hard for us financially and I explained this along with our other family issues to Ben and he went above and beyond trying to calm me down and work out a payment plan with me. I really appreciate everything you have done for my husband and myself. Ben came through with his promise and worked out a deal were my husband would only serve 30 days in jail with no probation.

She is incredibly knowledgeable and was able to quickly turn things around and make life livable again! We truly believe that the length of the process and the outcome of our situation would have been drastically different had we not engaged Katheryn. She is very, very smart (not strong enough of a word), no-nonsense, and ready, willing, and quite able to provide top-notch services. She helped us engage the right resources to work alongside her and for that and everything else, we could not be more pleased or grateful. Do not even hesitate to engage.

Ms. Haywood was by far the most experienced, aggressive and capable lawyer around. Trust me, we spent weeks interviewing many lawyers. We chose Katheryn because frankly she came off as no nonsense and eager to get justice. Her demeanor put my family at ease. That meant a lot to us because we needed a lawyer who was not going to promise us one thing and deliver another. She was honest and up front from the beginning. We needed someone who could call a situation what it was, had contacts all over Collin and Dallas county, and decades of dealing with these type of cases and difficult people under her belt. She had all of that and came with a true passion for our case. We could not have asked for a better attorney in the darkest hour of need. If you need an attorney, look no further.

What a Juvenile Law Lawyer Can Do for You

A juvenile law lawyer specializes in legal issues involving minors, including those facing criminal charges, child welfare matters, or status offenses (like truancy or curfew violations). Juvenile law lawyers aim to protect the rights of minors and advocate for rehabilitation rather than punishment in criminal cases. They also help families navigate child custody, abuse, neglect cases, and other legal matters involving children.

If your child is facing criminal charges, or you are involved in a child welfare case, a juvenile law lawyer can help protect your child’s rights and work toward the most favorable outcome.

When Should I Hire a Juvenile Law Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a juvenile law lawyer in the following situations where minors are involved in legal matters:

  • Juvenile criminal charges: If your child is accused of a crime, such as theft, assault, or drug offenses, a juvenile lawyer can represent them in juvenile court, advocating for leniency and alternatives to detention.
  • Delinquency proceedings: A lawyer can help navigate delinquency charges, defending your child’s rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes like counseling, probation, or diversion programs instead of incarceration.
  • Status offenses: If your child has committed a status offense, such as truancy, running away, or underage drinking, a lawyer can help you resolve these issues in juvenile court, often focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment.
  • School disciplinary issues: If your child is facing school suspensions, expulsions, or other disciplinary actions, a lawyer can help protect their educational rights and challenge any unfair or unlawful school policies.
  • Child protective services (CPS) investigations: If your family is being investigated by CPS for alleged abuse, neglect, or dependency, a lawyer can represent you and protect your child’s rights throughout the investigation.
  • Custody disputes: A lawyer can help in cases involving child custody or guardianship disputes, ensuring the child’s best interests are prioritized and advocating for the child’s rights.
  • Emancipation: If your child seeks legal emancipation from their parents or guardians, a lawyer can assist in navigating the legal process and help the child understand their rights and responsibilities.

Hiring a lawyer early in the legal process ensures that your child’s rights are protected and that the best possible outcomes are pursued.

What Does a Juvenile Law Lawyer Do?

A juvenile law lawyer provides various services to help minors and their families navigate the legal system. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Representing minors in court: A lawyer will represent your child in juvenile court, advocating for their rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes rather than punitive measures.
  • Filing motions and legal paperwork: The lawyer handles all necessary legal filings, including petitions, responses, and motions to dismiss charges or suppress evidence.
  • Negotiating with prosecutors: In some cases, a lawyer can negotiate plea deals or diversion programs that prevent the child from having a permanent criminal record or serving time in detention.
  • Advising on rehabilitation programs: Juvenile law lawyers often focus on alternatives to incarceration, such as counseling, community service, or probation, helping minors avoid long-term legal consequences.
  • Handling CPS and child welfare cases: If your family is involved in a CPS investigation or child welfare case, the lawyer can advocate for your child’s safety and well-being, ensuring that their rights are upheld.
  • Defending minors against school discipline: A lawyer can help challenge unfair or excessive disciplinary actions taken by schools, ensuring that your child’s educational rights are protected.
  • Advising families on legal options: A lawyer will explain the juvenile legal process to families, offering advice on the best legal strategies and what to expect during the case.

How Are Juvenile Law Lawyers Paid?

Juvenile law lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Many juvenile law lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Flat fee: For simpler cases, such as status offenses or school disciplinary hearings, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all legal services related to the case.
  • Retainer: In more complex cases, such as defending against serious criminal charges or handling a long-term CPS investigation, a lawyer may require a retainer, which is an upfront payment billed against as they work on the case.
  • Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some juvenile law lawyers offer sliding scale fees based on income or may provide pro bono (free) services for families who cannot afford to pay full legal fees, especially in cases involving child welfare or delinquency.

Discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to understand the total cost and payment options.

How Much Does a Juvenile Law Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a juvenile law lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the time involved. General cost estimates include:

  • Juvenile criminal cases: Legal fees for defending a minor in juvenile criminal cases can range from $2,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the severity of the charges and whether the case goes to trial.
  • Status offenses: For cases involving minor offenses such as truancy or underage drinking, legal fees typically range from $1,500 to $5,000.
  • CPS or child welfare cases: Legal fees for representing families in CPS investigations or child welfare cases can range from $2,000 to $8,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
  • School disciplinary hearings: Legal fees for representing students in school-related issues may range from $1,000 to $3,500, depending on the legal work required.

Make sure to get a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to ensure you understand the full scope of fees and services.

Top Questions to Ask a Juvenile Law Lawyer

Before hiring a juvenile law lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise to handle your child’s case effectively. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with juvenile law cases?
    Make sure the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s juvenile delinquency, child custody, or CPS investigations.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees, or requires a retainer. Ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my child’s case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of the case, including potential challenges and likely outcomes.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Juvenile cases can vary in duration, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what factors might affect the timeline.
  5. Will you personally handle my child’s case?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing the case and representing your child in court.
  6. What rights does my child have?
    Ask the lawyer to explain your child’s legal rights, including their rights during police questioning, school disciplinary actions, and court proceedings.

How to Check the Credibility of a Juvenile Law Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable juvenile law lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for juvenile law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in juvenile law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate in juvenile cases.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on juvenile law matters.
  • Check for certifications or memberships: Look for memberships in organizations like the National Juvenile Defender Center (NJDC) or certifications in juvenile law, which can indicate a lawyer’s dedication to representing minors.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a juvenile law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Court documents: Bring any legal documents related to your child’s case, such as summons, complaints, or court orders.
  • School records: Provide any relevant school records, including disciplinary reports, attendance records, and communications from school officials.
  • CPS or investigation reports: If your case involves child welfare, bring any reports or documentation from CPS or other investigating agencies.
  • Timeline of events: Prepare a detailed timeline of events related to your child’s legal issue, including interactions with authorities or school officials.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions about the legal process, your child’s rights, and potential outcomes for the case.

Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your child’s situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your needs.
