Verified ClientHired Law firm 2022I couldn't get any results on my own. I tried for years and saw no progress in my case. Within months of hiring Sunnen Law I saw huge results.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2018-2020We had a high conflict child custody case involving a move away order. Chris was always very professional and ahead of the game. Excellent litigator and writer who was able to explain my side of things. Chris was ahead of the game and made opposing counsel look bad. Thank you Sunnen Law team for fighting for my kids and I. They even called us after the case to see how we were. You guys truly care about your clients.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2020-2021After I had a really nasty experience with a local attorney and tried to self represent (a very rapidly moving custody case) I found Chris. I wish I could disclose the details of my case and how far we've come. Rosemary is absolutely amazing. She is on top of her work and has been someone who's listened when I've been in the office for hearings etc (briefly bc she's busy). Mareva is on top of her game. We have tackled a few things pertaining to my case together and moved right along. Chris is always professional and has been there to calm me down, explain a situation, and work through next steps. Together we have tackled court hearings, depositions, handled very aggressive/unprofessional opposing party representation, and (finally) worked through a custody agreement in my favor. Chris has provided accurate and solid advice - even when I didn't want to hear it. He understood my priority was my child, his safety, and well being on day one. I needed that support. Even though I would hate anyone go through a custody case, if you're searching for an expert in Fam Law, don't look any further. Chris, you have helped reach peace of mind today. Thank you to you and your staff!

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
