Sometimes your case requires the assistance of a paralegal and not a lawyer. Now, it makes perfect sense that you can’t be judge of that, unless you have some idea about the former. So, here are some useful reasons for you. Firstly, cases like divorce, eviction, child custody and others depend on the paperwork more rather than a judicial hearing. So, instead of spending your dollars on an expensive lawyer, you should get hold of a trusted paralegal firm such as ours, to get in touch with some ef

If your revenues remain down, there’s a probably a simple reason for at least some of that dip. According to the recently-released 2020 Clio Legal Trends Report , 23% of legal consumers think law firms are closed.

As a kid, I always thought any Hollywood cowboy who could shoot from the hip and kill the villain was one tough hombre that no one in their right mind would ever want to mess with. I viewed those cowboys as heroes and would often pretend I was one of them when playing in the woods behind my childhood home. That was short-lived, however. As I got older, I came to realize there was a little movie magic behind those epic shootouts and my adulation of such heroes eventually waned.

When a court issues you an order of dissolution (divorce) or annulment of marriage, you become legally single. Therefore, you gain the right to enter a new legally valid marriage. The difference is that, in a divorce, you are considered to have been legally married before the divorce judgment. An annulment means that the court declares that your marriage was never legally valid.

Yet we can, and indeed we should, strive for decency as it is sorely lacking in so many areas of daily life. How to do it in the midst of global turmoil and a profession that, by its nature, is contentious and adversarial, is a question many have asked for some time.

Divorce mediation is often used as a first-step in trying to resolve disputed issues between divorcing couples. In most contested divorces, the parties are able to resolve their disputes using a divorce mediator, and they do not need to go to trial. Although mediation is arguably less painful than going to trial, it is not especially cheap. Sometimes couples don't actually need a divorce mediator but just a third-party helper to get them through the legal process.
