- DivorceThe divorce process can have several variations depending on specific circumstances. For example, in an uncontested divorce with no children the process may be resolved quickly. On the other end of the spectrum is a divorce that is contested and has issues such as asset or income hiding, disagreement regarding children or other litigious circumstances.
- Child SupportFamily law attorneys help people secure child support, enforce child support orders and request modifications of existing child support and custody orders. While specific child support orders can vary, child support usually consists of a structured monthly payment until the child(ren) named in the order reach the age of majority, usually 18 years old or 21 years old.
- Child Custody and VisitationCouples facing divorce with children have difficult and challenging decisions to make. Sometimes couples fight over custody, support and/or visitation provisions and can benefit by having an experienced child custody lawyer involved.
- Criminal DefenseIf you or a loved one has been charged with a crime, you need to act quickly and decisively in order to protect the rights of the accused.

- Wrongful DeathMany injuries do not fully manifest at the time of the injury and may not present symptoms until much later. This is exactly why many insurance companies will try to reach a settlement with an injured person shortly after the injury - it prevents the injured person from seeking additional compensation should the injury become more serious. Insurance company representatives are trained to offer as little as possible to resolve a claim. If you are not represented, you have placed yourself at a severe disadvantage in settling your claim.
