Elyse is very professional and is the best at what she does. She was upfront and honest about the timeline and costs. She made me feel at ease with her knowledge about by child custody case and her attention to detail. She answered all my questions and is amazing and well prepared before each court date. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you for the great work!

I had a challenging case involving a contested modification of both spousal and child support after I lost my job and my child turned 18. I reached out to Butler Law and worked with three excellent attorneys—Sara Dorworth, Veronica Rubalcava, and Alexandra Fetter. Each attorney brought a different strength to my case, and together, they delivered results that exceeded my expectations. They were thorough, strategic, and compassionate throughout the process. Thanks to their efforts, I received a significant reduction in my support obligations. I highly recommend Butler Law to anyone needing expert help in complex family law matters.

I worked directly with Sara at Bulter Law. She has been very knowledgeable and compassionate so far in my case. She has taken the time to understand my complex situation and present it in a concise manner to the courts. Highly recommend her!

Butler Law's team are highly responsive and efficient. In the past, I've had a difficult time getting timely responses from attorneys I've worked with. That was never an issue with Sara and the rest of the Butler team. Despite their busy schedules, they have the resources in place to address client needs and the expertise to do so effectively. They make a difficult situation more manageable. I'm glad I chose to work with them.

Kindness matters. Elyse and her team are knowledgeable and comforting through the horrible process of child support. Paperwork is filed on time and the process is explained very well. I interviewed a lot of lawyers and Elyse and her team stood out for her calm and compassionate demeanor. Filings were done on time and the process was explained very clearly. She also was willing to work with me on the costs of legal representation.

I think the first consultation can/will tell you a lot about a firms intentions. In my experience, I was treated with respect and they honestly wanted to hear my concerns and answer my questions without trying to cut me off or sell me anything. I definitely recommend inquiring with them.

Beware!! They initially told me that an uncontested simple annulment would not cost more than 3K. At the very high end, the average cost of annulment is 5K. Mine was completely uncontested and they charged me an astonishing $6,100. Then to top it off. When I disputed many of the charges, they WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION, charge my CC over 2K. This firm is nothing more than a complete ripoff. They litterally charged me $475.00 for one month of copies on uncontested annulment! There are many other firms that you can find that will do simple legal work at fair and reasonable rates, but certainly not this one...Don't waste your time or money!
