Practice Areas
Family Law
Family law cases are those that involve divorce, legal separation, child custody, parenting plans and visitation, spousal support, property division, parental relocation, third party custody, as well as pre-marital, post-marital and cohabitation agreements, and protection orders.
Family Law is often complex with delicate issues that can be multi-layered. In these times, having an experienced family law attorney to guide you through the process can make all the difference.
At North Country Law, we handle all family law matters either through direct representation or as neutral third parties involved in mediation, as described below.
Adoption Services
If you or your spouse are adopting a child, our team at North Country law can assist you with the process from the first steps of terminating parental rights to completing the adoption and changing names.
We offer assistance with multiple non-biological parent custody options. These can include minor guardianship, adoption, de facto parentage and relative visitation, to list a few.
Personal Injury
Personal Injury covers a range of situations that stem from someone else's negligence or intentional acts. These can include vehicle accidents, animal bites, slip and falls, underinsured motorist accidents, or premises liability injury, to name a few. A successful personal injury claim will always have 3 things in common: negligence/intentional act, an injury related to that negligence, and actual damages resulting from that negligence.
Facing the semingly endless stressors from physical pain, impairment, and ongoing medical bills can be daunting, while proving negligence can be challenging. It is so important to have a proficient attorney by your side to substantiate your claim and position you for the best possible outcome.
Wills and Advanced Directives
A will is a crucial legal document that serves to designate who will manage your estate after you pass away, while also specifying who will inherit your assets. Since even a minor error in a will can lead to costly legal disputes or the possibility it could be declared invalid, it is essential to hire an experienced attorney. This will ensure the documents are drafted properly and comply with all legal requirements.
Whether you need assistance drafting your initial will or making changes to an existing one, we can help. Contact our office today to schedule your appointment.
