Divorce, child custody, protection orders, modifications, and other family law cases can be the the most difficult thing one ever experiences. The choices made during litigation will affect the rest of your life and the relationship you have with your family. Be sure to hire an attorney with experience dealing with these difficult times.
One of the biggest problems in our legal system today is the neverending string of defendants that instantly plead guilty to the crimes they have been charged with, regardless of the charges' veracity. This is not necessary!
Whether you have been injured in a car wreck, truck accident, or other automobile collision, or a "slip and fall", we can help. If you have been injured by someone else's action or inaction, you have rights and may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
Driving under the influence or driving while intoxicated is a serious crime in Missouri. A guilty plea here can mean fines, jail time, the loss of your license, and even more. The police and prosecutor's office would have you believe that the tests conducted at your traffic stop and at the police station are 100% scientifically valid. This is not always the case. At The Garrett Law Firm, we know the science behind the tests and can help ensure that you are not intimidated into pleading guilty.
Why include courts when you don't have to? The cost of attorneys, court fees, and the discovery process can seriously impact the cost of your dispute. There is another way. In a court case, there is usually a winner and a loser. At The Garrett Law Firm, our trained mediator can help you and the other party in dispute reach a solution that both sides are happy with, where both sides win, without the added costs of litigation.
A well-developed estate plan provides peace of mind in some of life’s most difficult moments. A power of attorney can make sure the right person makes decisions when their loved one is unable to do so. Effective use of a beneficiary deed and other non-probate transfers can get needed resources to loved ones without the delay of probate. Wills can prevent conflict in a grieving family and make sure that you are able to choose your child’s guardian if you pass away. Trusts can be used to protect assets and provide for ongoing income for yourself or your loved ones.
There are many tools in the estate-planning toolbox, and it is vital that you choose an experienced lawyer to guide you to the right choice for your situation. If you’re ready for the peace of mind a custom-crafted estate plan can bring, call our firm today to set up a consultation.
