  • Juvenile Law involves two kinds of cases. Dependency and Delinquency. Dependency cases involve children whose parents are not taking care of them. Delinquency cases involve children who have been accused of committing crimes.

    Delinquency: Has your child been accused of committing a crime? Do you have questions about their and/or your rights? We can help you and your child navigate the world of juvenile delinquency. We can ensure that their and your rights are protected. Our attorneys have extensive experience in the world of juvenile delinquency.

    Dependency: Is a child you love living in a dangerous or unstable situation? The law defines a dependent child as one who does not have a parent willing or able to take care of them. This can encompass many different situations. Our attorneys are well versed in the world of dependency law and can help you to navigate your specific situation with excellence and compassion.

  • A mediator is a third party who is not connected to your case in any way, who can help you and the other party to try to settle the issues in your dispute outside of the courtroom. In Morgan County, all divorces and custody disputes require mediation before a trial date will be set.

What Clients Say

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. All three of us charge a consult fee for initial meetings. It depends on the attorney you meet with so call to inquire.

  • If you decide to retain us, we will quote you an initial retainer based on your specific case complexity, number of court appearances required, pleadings, travel time, etc after the initial consultation. We will bill against that retainer at the hourly rate of the attorney you hire. If the initial retainer is exceeded before the matter is completed, we will discuss adding additional monies. If the matter is resolved before your initial retainer is exhausted, the remainder will be returned to you. These fees do not include the filing fee, which is paid directly to the court when filing your matter.

  • If you are filing in Morgan County, mediation is a requirement for all original divorces and custody modifications. Before a trial date will be set, you will be required to be set for mediation, with a third party (usually another attorney) who will try to help resolve the issues in your case.

  • An uncontested divorce is when all the issues of your divorce are handled and agreed upon before filing. That means you have agreed on how to divide all assets, debts, what custody/visitation looks like, what child support will be, etc. An attorney will prepare all the necessary paperwork, forms and consents required and both parties will sign. The uncontested divorce will be filed, and be pending for approximately 30 days before the judge will issue a final order. The parties can use the same attorney to prepare the papers, but the attorney can only represent one party. This is typically a fixed cost for attorneys fees, plus the filing fee paid directly to the court.

    A contested divorce is filed by one party when a resolution of the issues has not been reached. It does not mean the matter can not be settled prior to a trial date. A settlement is possible if the parties agree at any point during the process. Once a party is served with a contested divorce, they must file an answer within 30 days. The case will be set for mediation, and if it is not resolved there, it will be set for a trial, where the judge will have the final say on the issues. The process of an uncontested divorce is much longer and more expensive. It typically takes about 18-24 months to go through the entire process and be set for trial.

  • You should not speak with anyone until you have an opportunity to consult with an attorney about your specific situation.
