Frequently Asked Questions about Family Law in California
FAQ: What is a family law attorney?
A family law attorney is a lawyer who specializes in handling matters involving family law. Family law involves legal issues arising from family relationships. Family law cases include marriage, divorce, child custody and adoption, and domestic violence/protection orders. A family law attorney can help you understand your rights and options in your case and can prepare and file paperwork and advocate on your behalf in court, if needed.
FAQ: How much does a family law attorney cost?
It is usually impossible to predict how much it may cost to hire a family law attorney for a case. The cost of an attorney will depend on factors such as the complexity of the issues in your case or whether your case is being contested by another party, such as your spouse or co-parent. Family law attorneys are typically paid on an hourly fee basis, but for simple matters (such as an uncontested divorce) an attorney may work on a flat fee basis. In addition, in some family law matters the court may under certain circumstances order the opposing party (e.g., an ex-spouse) to pay your legal fees.

Great Lawyer in Elk Grove. He helped me with a bankruptcy a few years ago and is still very helpful in answering any questions I have about it. I have also spoken with him regarding family law and estate issues. He’s very patient and is willing to take the time needed to explain everything to me so I can understand it. He’s also very quick to respond. I have already recommended him to many of my friends and family.
