Family Lawyer Services

Resolving family conflicts is a complex process that is often difficult to cope with without the involvement of a qualified lawyer. He solves various issues in the field of family relations. Usually he is contacted when it is necessary to divide property during a divorce, collect alimony, determine the place of residence of children, establish or challenge paternity, deprive parental rights, enter into an inheritance, draw up a marriage contract, will, adoption, guardianship and trusteeship.

By contacting a family law lawyer, you can get professional help in resolving any disputes. A specialist will help you correctly draw up the necessary documents, represent your interests in court and assist in achieving the best result for you.

If you try to solve these problems yourself, you can only make things worse. So, if there is insufficient evidence, the court does not satisfy the requirement. Then you need to re-file the claim, and this is fraught with a waste of time and money.

  • determine parental rights and responsibilities.

A legal specialist will help you resolve other disputes related to family relationships: invalidation of marriage, establishment of inheritance rights, etc.

By contacting a family law lawyer, you can resolve your family disputes quickly and effectively and protect your rights and interests. However, if you don't do this, you may experience the following problems:

  1. Resolving family disputes on your own can be time-consuming, especially if you do not have legal training or experience. This may be more expensive than hiring a lawyer, as you may make mistakes that will require additional settlement funds.
  2. If you do not consult a lawyer, you may not have complete information about what laws govern family relationships, and this may lead to an incorrect resolution of the dispute.
  3. If you are trying to resolve a family dispute on your own, you cannot be sure what outcome you will get. A family law attorney will be able to assess your situation, provide guidance, and help you achieve the best outcome.

Contacting a family law lawyer can significantly simplify the resolution of family disputes, protect your rights and interests, and save your time and money.

How long does it take to resolve family disputes?

The length of time it takes to resolve family disputes can vary significantly depending on the specific circumstances of each case. Some simple family disputes can be resolved in a matter of weeks if all parties reach an agreement quickly. However, more complex and contentious cases, such as divorces or child custody determinations, can take months or even years.

There are several factors that can influence the length of time it takes to resolve family disputes. This includes the complexity of the case, the number of issues in dispute, the existence of agreements between the parties, the need for an examination, the need for court hearings, and the workload of the court system in a particular jurisdiction.

In general, resolving a dispute quickly is usually preferable as it allows all parties to move on and avoid further hassle. However, the quality of the decision is more important than speed, which is why judges and family law lawyers need to carefully examine all the circumstances of the case and make informed decisions in the best interests of all parties.

Features of the work of a family law lawyer

The work of a family lawyer has its own characteristics, which are related to the fact that this type of law regulates relations between family members. These disputes can be very emotional, so it is important to be able to communicate with clients in a way that does not aggravate their emotional state.

A family law lawyer must have a thorough understanding of family law and be up to date with the latest developments in the law. This allows him to give the most accurate assessment of the situation and correctly advise his clients.

Each family law case is unique, so it is important that a legal specialist can develop an individual strategy for each client and take into account the characteristics of a particular situation.

A lawyer must be able to communicate both with clients and with other specialists and judges. This is important in order to achieve the best results for your clients. His work involves a high level of responsibility as he interacts with issues relating to families and children. It is important not only to have good knowledge of the law, but also to show sensitivity and empathy.

Risks when buying a home

When entering into a real estate transaction, it is important to remember that this is a serious process that can affect your financial health for many years. This is why it is important to have professional support.
Without the help of a real estate lawyer, you risk committing illegal or invalid actions. This can lead to unpleasant consequences. For example, you may illegally transfer ownership of real estate or make a transaction that is declared invalid.
A lawyer for real estate transactions will help you avoid risks associated with the illegality of the transaction, check the documents that will be used in the transaction, and give recommendations. If necessary, he will represent your interests in court.
Ignoring the risks associated with the lack of legal support can lead to serious financial losses, disagreements and disputes with the other party. With a real estate lawyer, you can protect your interests and avoid future troubles.

Here is a list of the dangers that may await a new homeowner:

  • minors are registered in the premises;
  • maternity capital was used when purchasing a home;
  • the heirs filed a lawsuit to review the shares;
  • third parties (seller’s spouse, mortgage holder, etc.) did not consent to the sale of the property;
  • the seller violated the right of priority of shareholders when selling rooms or shares;
  • redevelopment was carried out illegally;
  • people registered in housing have the right of lifelong residence;
  • the seller may be incapacitated and the transaction will be declared illegal;
  • the property may be part of a demolition or renovation program, in which case the new owner may be evicted.

The home seller may deliberately hide something or not be aware of the violations. If you don't want to face these dangers that could cause you to lose your title, be sure to protect yourself in advance. Use the services of a real estate lawyer.
In one of the court cases, a controversial situation was resolved: the plaintiff tried to cancel the purchase and sale of an apartment, citing the illegality of the transaction. With the help of a real estate lawyer, we were able to prove that the transaction was concluded legally. The court ruled in favor of the defendant. Without a real estate lawyer, he probably would not have been able to successfully protect his rights and interests.

Legal due diligence of real estate

The lawyer does a review to discover risks that the average buyer may not be aware of. The specialist analyzes the identity of the seller, learns about his rights, the claims of third parties, studies the documents for the object, and determines the condition in which it is located.

Typically, legal due diligence of real estate includes the following steps:

  1. The lawyer checks the technical passport and agreement to make sure that the title to the real estate is registered in the name of the seller, and there are no restrictions that may prevent the transaction from being completed.
  2. Makes sure that the real estate is not pledged to a bank or other lender.
  3. Checks whether restrictions or encumbrances have been placed on real estate.
  4. If the real estate is located on a plot of land, checks whether it is registered in the name of the seller. Finds out whether there are restrictions or encumbrances on it.

If you don't contact a debt collection lawyer

If you decide not to contact a debt collection lawyer, you may experience the following problems:

Difficulties with paperwork . To collect debts against a receipt, you need to prepare a statement of claim, a receipt, and a certificate of payment. This can be difficult even for a lawyer, let alone an ordinary person.

Lack of strategy . A debt collection lawyer will draw up an action strategy that will allow you to successfully collect debts. He will be able to predict possible problems and prepare the necessary documents and arguments in your defense. If you decide to do without professional help, you risk losing your case due to poor preparation.

Misuse of legal tools . If you try to independently cope with the collection of a debt on a receipt from an individual, you may break the law or aggravate the situation. For example, missing deadlines for presenting claims, sending threats or obsessively pursuing the debtor. This can lead to a deterioration in your reputation and even criminal liability.

You may also encounter a situation where the debtor does not have enough funds to pay the debt. You will have to take additional steps to recover the money. A lawyer will help you deal with this situation faster and more efficiently.

Waste of time . Without legal support, you will be forced to spend more time collecting the necessary documents and participating in legal proceedings. This may affect your work and other responsibilities.

What does a debt collection lawyer do?

Debt collection lawyer recovers debts. Unlike collectors, he acts strictly according to the law. They often use illegal methods, threaten and psychologically put pressure on debtors. A lawyer does not allow himself to do this.

He works for both legal entities and individuals. The need for his services may arise when it is impossible to return the money on his own: the debtor does not communicate, denies the fact of transfer of funds, cannot repay the debt on time, or initiates bankruptcy proceedings.

Example:

Nikolai Tarasov lent his colleague Mikhail Izmailov 20,000 rubles. Izmailov promised to return the money in a month. Nikolai handed over the money to Mikhail in the presence of two colleagues. The men did not draw up a receipt.

A month later, Izmailov never repaid the debt and stated that he had not borrowed from Tarasov at all. Nikolai turned to a debt collection lawyer. The specialist quickly found out under what circumstances the money was transferred. He prepared witness statements. This was enough for Izmailov to return 20,000 rubles out of court.

Lawyer services

The specialist provides the following services:

  • Analyzes documents and evaluates chances of success. If necessary, the lawyer involves experts in the case. At the same time, he analyzes the financial situation of the debtor. Based on the information received, he decides whether the case is promising. If the debt can only be repaid through the courts, he immediately tells the client about this.
  • Develops an action plan.
  • Calculates amounts. This is done so that the court and the defendant know the amount of the debt along with interest, if it is indicated in the receipt.
  • Prepares and submits an application to the court. He draws up a document and indicates in it the calculations, information about the debtor, creditor, talks about the circumstances of the transfer of money, attempts to resolve the dispute before the trial and attaches evidence of this, indicates the necessary dates. The plaintiff gets acquainted with the contents of the application and signs.
  • Defends the client's interests in court.

Our qualified debt collection lawyers take full responsibility for protecting the client’s interests: they help in collecting the necessary evidence and represent it at court hearings.
