Divorce
With this type of divorce, both parties are equally striving to end the marriage. This type of divorce also tends to be the least complicated as the couple will already have decided what course of action to take when it comes to matters of the children, finances and other contentious legal issues. Typically, uncontested divorces will be files by people who had already drawn up a prenuptial agreement, as this legal document will dictate how the marriage will be dissolved.

Divorce
With this type of divorce, both parties are equally striving to end the marriage. This type of divorce also tends to be the least complicated as the couple will already have decided what course of action to take when it comes to matters of the children, finances and other contentious legal issues. Typically, uncontested divorces will be files by people who had already drawn up a prenuptial agreement, as this legal document will dictate how the marriage will be dissolved.
Child Custody and Visitation
What are the possible outcomes? Although your attorney cannot predict the judge's ruling, he or she can advise about property settlement and child custody.
Adoption
Likewise, all states and territories now recognise same-sex stepparent adoption, allowing you to become one of the legal guardians of a child from your partner's previous relationship. The extent of your rights can be somewhat contingent on whether your parenting arrangements were formally legalised with an application to the Courts. When any marriage breaks up, you might need to consult a family law specialist to determine custody and visitation to ensure that you're not deprived of any parental rights.
Premarital Agreement
Subject to the nature of your relationship, the proceedings could be ugly since parties might give negative information to gain an upper hand in court. Out-of-court settlements provide spouses with an opportunity to settle their affairs in private. You will meet with your attorneys and negotiate how to settle affairs. Prior contracts such as prenuptial agreements ease the divorce process since they stipulate how the couple should wind up their marriage.
Spousal Support
If you are looking to divorce your partner and you are not financially stable, you probably think that alimony will eliminate this hurdle. However, alimony is not automatically given. In most jurisdictions, alimony is decided by the judge. Read on to learn the grounds under which alimony is given.

Traffic Violations
It isn't mandatory to have a lawyer when facing every criminal matter. For instance, contesting a speeding ticket or defending yourself in small claims courts can be done without lawyers. However, for more serious crimes and cases, not having the assistance of an experienced criminal lawyer places you at a distinct disadvantage. The following are some of the advantages of criminal lawyer representation when you're facing a criminal charge...
Assault

Workers Compensation
Workplace-related injuries are common. Sometimes, employers may fail to compensate an injured worker or choose to compensate them unfairly. A workers' compensation lawyer can help clients claim compensation in such circumstances.

Personal Injury
Patients instill a lot of trust in their physicians, sharing confidential information with them with the view of getting the best therapeutic treatment. Nevertheless, situations may occur in which a patient believes they have been subject to ill-treatment within the range of the doctor-patient relationship. In such instances, the patient can file a lawsuit against the doctor with the help of a personal injury lawyer. Here are various scenarios that may culminate in legal claims against health practitioners.
Medical Malpractice
This is arguably the most common lawsuit filed against health care practitioners. A medical malpractice lawsuit arises when a general practitioner fails to treat the patient as per the accepted therapeutic standard of care which results in the patient suffering injury or harm. The therapeutic standard of care is the kind of care that another doctor in the same community practicing in the same medical field would have offered within similar circumstances.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
When it comes to challenging estate planning documents in court, an estate owner can only hope that none of their relatives, friends, or associates will want to contest their wishes.
Wills
Would you want to contest a will? If this is the case, you need an experienced wills and estate lawyer to prove your case. Below is an excerpt discussing how a wills and estate lawyer can help you contest a will.
Trusts
Living trusts and wills are estate will planning documents used to provide guidelines for the distribution of assets in an estate after demise of the estate owner. It is important for individuals to have as much information as possible about the various options available for creating an estate plan. This article addresses a few commonly asked questions about living trusts and wills for those keen on protecting their assets posthumously.
