Traffic
For many people, going to court for a traffic ticket is someone’s first encounter with the legal system. As a result, the idea of going to court can be stressful and may raise many questions. For instance, people may wonder:
-
Should I just pay the fine?
-
Should I go to the hearing?
-
What are the consequences of getting this ticket?
-
How can I best prepare for the hearing?
We can answer these questions and help you prepare your traffic case. When we meet, we will discuss the circumstances in which you received the ticket, review your driving history, and we hope to reduce the anxiety you may have about going to court, especially if it is your first time in the courtroom.
DUI and Criminal Defense
Our firm can help you navigate your way through DUI and misdemeanor criminal defense matters. For instance, we will discuss the appropriate plea in court, whether it would be appropriate to work out a plea agreement with the prosecutor, and help prepare you for any hearings.
Divorces
Some couples are able to reach a mutual understanding about the ending of their marriage. When they can agree on the resolution of all outstanding issues, including the division of marital assets and debts, payment of spousal and/or child support, and custody and visitation matters regarding their children, it may be possible for them to obtain an uncontested divorce. This can spare the family both the expense and stress of a contested divorce.
Our firm can discuss your marital circumstances and options moving forward. We can draft a property settlement agreement to commemorate any agreement with your spouse and we strive to make the process as efficient as possible for a flat, reasonable fee, if possible.
