Steven C Hales Attorney

Divorce
Child Support
This is a civil lawsuit that does not legally end a marriage, but allows the court to issue orders concerning property division, spousal support, allocation of parental rights and responsibilities, child support and parent time allocation for any minor children. The parties remain married, but live separately. When a court grants a legal separation, each party must follow the court's specific orders.
Child Custody and Visitation
Divorce and child custody are two of the most traumatic events you can face in your lifetime. As your attorney I will guide through the difficult and emotional processes required to protect your interest as well as those of you children.
Adoption
I provide counsel to both adoption and guardianship cases, wheither you seek to enforce these ights or defend against the same, representing perhpas the most crucial of hunman rights, family and personal liberty. Careful and thourough legal representation is a must, as the decisions rendered in these areas are life-long, and rarely subject to any later attack or successful appeal..
Guardianship
Spousal Support
A dissolution of marriage is an action where the parties mutually agree to terminate their marriage. Neither party has to prove grounds to end a marriage by dissolution. This action is only started after the husband and wife have signed a separation agreement regarding all property, spousal support and any child-related issues. After jointly filing a Petition for Dissolution, the parties must wait at least 30 days before the court will hear their case. The case must be heard within 90 days of filing. At the hearing, the court will review the separation agreement, ask about the assets and liabilities and any parenting issues, and determine whether the parties understand and are satisfied with the settlement. If the court is satisfied that the agreement is fair, the parties agree and desire to end their marriage, the court will grant a dissolution and order the separation agreement into effect.
Legal Separation

DUI/DWI
Unless you are well-versed in identifying the ever changing alphabet soup known as alcohol violations, you may not be aware of the land mines that await your next social event at home or away, your drive home, or your cruise on the waters. Not only can you lose driving privileges, suffer time in jail, and spend considerable sums on court fines and costs, but further troubles await. Penalties can include loss of employment, high risk (aka expensive) insurance, loss of CCW permit, vehicle impoundment - or even surrender, suspension or loss of professional license, or even recreational licenses, such as boat operator or plane piloting.
Traffic Violations
Criminal offenses encompass a multitude of violations from traffic violations through more serious offenses such as drug violations, assaults, domestic violence, abuse (child, sexual, discriminatory), just to name a few. As your attorney, I will defend your rights from the time of arrest through your court trial.
Drug Crimes
Assault

Business and Corporate Law

Business Disputes
Limited Liability Companies

Wrongful Termination
I provide counsel in highly litigated areas for businesses today: harrassment and wrongful termination. As such, my primary goal is preventative - to ensure proper pocesses and procedures are employed in advance to avoid these pitfalls, and to address any issues immediately upon occurrence: to investigate, identify, and minimize both present and future risk exposure to the company.
Employment Contract
I provide counsel to employers and employees from inception, hiring (including employment contracts), duration of the relationships, and through separation.
Employment Litigation
I counsel individuals in all aspects of child and spousal support, from establishing, enforcing, modification, through termination. In addition, due to my business law background, I have developed a keen ability to address self employment issues, as well as other aspects of financial misconduct that impact both determination as well as collectibilty of child support and spousal support (alimony).

Landlord-Tenant Disputes
Similar to Debt and Collection Resolution, services are available to both individual and business debtors and to those who are seeking to establish and/or enforce property and/or financial obligations; we employ numerous options to resolve your dispute and to address the legal fees of either process. Facing these issues without proper legal representation may result in loss of housing, income, legal fees, significant expenses, and even loss of personal and/or real property.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
The information you obtain at this site is not, nor is it intended to be, legal advice. You should consult an attorney for individual advice regarding your own situation.
Wills
Trusts
Probate

Bankruptcy
Individual reorganization, is an alternative to Chapter 7 that allows an individual to keep his or her property. In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy (unlike a Chapter 7 bankruptcy), the individual must pay a portion or all of the debt back. The individual filing bankruptcy under Chapter 13 must be able to fund a payback plan and meet certain debt and asset limits. Effective October 17, 2005 under the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, individuals who earn more than the median income (based on family size) in the state where they lived before filing bankruptcy, and who can repay at least $6,000 of their debt over five years, are no longer eligible for relief under Chapter 7.
Foreclosure
Financial distress is a leading cause of divorce, major health problems, and even suicide. These pressures may include foreclosure, repossession, or garnishments. As your attorney I will carefully review your personal or business financial situation, advise you as to your available options, and diligently work with you to resolve your financial pressures.
Tax Law
Claims against the estate may be made up to six months from the date of death. A small estate that does not require the filing of a federal estate tax return and has no creditor issues often can be settled within six months of the appointment of the executor or administrator. However, if a federal estate tax return is required, the administration of the estate can last more than a year. (Estate taxes are not due until nine months after the decedent’s death.) If there is an audit of an estate tax return, the administration can take up to an additional year or more, and an executor or administrator cannot safely distribute all of the estate assets until released from personal liability for estate taxes after the audit has been completed. An extraordinary administration involving a contested will or complicated tax litigation may take several years to complete. In many cases, however, distributions of most or all estate assets do not necessarily have to wait until all probate matters have been completed.
