Divorce & Family Law

In the United States, each state has its own laws, statutes, codes, and rules for legally terminating a marriage via divorce. Regardless of jurisdiction, a divorce can be either contested or uncontested. An uncontested divorce is the most common – in this scenario, both parties support a divorce, and often agree on issues such as property division and child support, which facilitates the court process. A contested divorce takes considerably longer and relies heavily on judicial intervention to decide on relevant issues such as property division, alimony, and visitation rights.

Criminal Defense Law

Criminal law is established by statute and exists to punish people who violate laws. Punishments vary with the severity of the offense, and range from a simple fine (such as a speeding ticket) to imprisonment or death. Criminal law is a state law, and each state has its own criminal code. If you have been convicted of a crime, have a warrant out for your arrest, or a charge has been filed, you may need to hire a criminal defense lawyer. An experienced criminal attorney or law firm may be able to help you with a plea bargain, reduce your fine, or possibly assist in avoiding jail time. Whether your case is a DUI-DWI, Felony, or Misdemeanor, you should consult with a criminal lawyer to assist you with the process.
