About divorce consultation, alimony, and custody

When you separate from your spouse or consider divorce, you may have many questions and concerns.
There are many things that need to be clearly decided, including financial matters such as living expenses, division of assets and alimony during separation, and child matters such as custody, child support, and visitation rights. Expert knowledge is required to make appropriate decisions regarding these matters.
Consult with an attorney to help you make the best choice for you and your child. There is a statute of limitations for claiming compensation and property division, so we recommend that you seek advice as early as possible to avoid it being too late.
In addition to divorce, we also provide consultation on various issues related to couples, parents and children, and families, such as dissolution of engagement, dissolution of common-law relationships, requesting alimony from an adulterous partner, adoption, recognition of children, etc.

About inheritance

If an inheritance occurs, you should complete the inheritance division procedures (registration of inheritance of real estate and refund of deposits) as soon as possible.
If you leave the estate division procedure unattended, if the heir dies later, a new inheritance will occur, making it difficult to divide the estate. In some cases, inheritance registration of real estate was left untouched for nearly 20 years, resulting in nearly 30 heirs. In that case, dividing the inheritance will not be easy.

If you have any concerns about inheritance, such as renunciation of inheritance in cases where the heir has debts, consultation regarding residual portion, etc., please feel free to consult a lawyer.

Regarding consumer damage

In order to resolve the damage caused by unscrupulous commercial practices such as fictitious billing, door-to-door sales, catch sales, hypnosis marketing, telemarketing, qualification marketing, home employment marketing, and multi-market marketing, it is important to take prompt action without having to worry about it alone. .
Not only should you consult with a lawyer, but if you think your family has been harmed, please consult a lawyer immediately.

About traffic accidents

Compensation for traffic accidents is basically covered by compulsory automobile liability insurance based on the Automobile Liability Compensation and Health Act (however, property damage is not covered).

Any amount not covered by compulsory automobile liability insurance will be paid by the automobile insurance contracted by the at-fault party. Therefore, there is a tendency to reach a settlement within the scope of compulsory automobile liability insurance, but there are problems such as not being able to receive the compensation that should have been paid, or the amount of compensation being low.

Regarding the standards for compensation, there are two standards: compulsory automobile liability insurance standards and court standards, and there is a big difference between the two standards in terms of amount.

When deciding whether to accept an auto insurance company's settlement offer, it is important to consult an expert regarding its suitability.

About civil rehabilitation

In civil rehabilitation proceedings, a petition for civil rehabilitation is filed with the court, and under the supervision of the court, the company's manager himself or herself continues to manage the company while creating a reconstruction plan for the company (in civil rehabilitation proceedings, a "rehabilitation plan" is filed). This is a method in which the debtor decides whether to approve the rehabilitation plan at a creditors' meeting held by the court, and if approved, repays the debt according to the rehabilitation plan. .

In this rehabilitation plan, you will decide how to cut excess debt, how to pay the remaining amount after the cut, and the payment period. In civil rehabilitation proceedings, decisions at creditors' meetings are made by majority vote. If the rehabilitation plan is approved by a majority vote, and there are no legal problems with its contents, the court will issue a decision to approve it. Once this approval decision is finalized, creditors who object to the cut of debt or the method of paying the remaining amount will also be bound by the decision.

In this way, even if some creditors are unlikely to agree to the repayment method proposed by the company, it may be possible to respond through civil rehabilitation proceedings, which are decided by majority vote. If the creditor who holds more than half of the amount owed agrees, you should generally think that it is okay.

About bankruptcy

``Let the company go bankrupt.'' This decision is not easy. After going bankrupt, creditors will pursue your responsibility, and you will be worried about your future life. Considering these considerations, you may be hesitant to file for bankruptcy. However, in today's bankruptcy proceedings, lawyers take on the brunt of creditors, and problems such as cash flow are resolved as if they were a lie.

In bankruptcy proceedings, a petition for bankruptcy is filed with the court, and a bankruptcy trustee appointed by the court sells and recovers the company's assets under the supervision of the court. This is a bankruptcy procedure in which creditors are paid and a company or business is liquidated.

When a company files for bankruptcy, it is common for the company's managers who are guarantors to file for bankruptcy as well.
Unreasonable life extensions will only cause trouble to creditors and involve family members who normally have no connection to the company.
Please consult a lawyer as soon as possible.

When you get arrested

What should you do if you or a family member or friend is arrested by the police for committing a crime? In interrogation rooms that are isolated from the rest of the world, there are very few people who can maintain their rationality and respond calmly during harsh interrogations. Even innocent people may be forced to make an adverse confession against their will.
Furthermore, anyone in a detention center is placed in a mentally unstable situation and tends to lose sight of themselves.

After understanding the incident accurately, you need the support of a lawyer so that you can respect the suspect's version and undergo appropriate criminal procedures. Please contact us as soon as possible.
