A:
I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing. It’s important to have an attorney who fully understands and prioritizes your family law concerns. You might consider consulting with a family law attorney who has experience specifically in child custody and domestic violence cases to ensure your issues are addressed promptly.
Regarding costs, legal fees can vary widely based on the complexity of your case and the attorney’s rates. Many attorneys offer payment plans or sliding scale fees to accommodate different financial situations. It would be helpful to discuss your financial constraints openly with potential lawyers to find a solution that works for you.
Additionally, you may want to reach out to local legal aid organizations in Long Beach or San Bernardino County. They can provide resources or assistance that might help you move your case forward more efficiently and reduce some of the emotional and financial stress you’re experiencing.
