Child Support
Family law is the area of law that addresses and deals with family relationships. It includes creating family relationships through marriage, domestic partnership, adoption, and so on as well as breaking them through divorce and termination of parental rights. Family law addresses adoption, contested custody of children and the child support obligations that result. Because family law is the practice of law that relates to relationships and children, it can be one of the most emotional areas of law. Family lawyers are involved in very personal aspects of their client’s lives. Ms. Michalczyk has been practicing family law for over thirty (30) years. Family law practice may involve any of the following topics...
Child Custody and Visitation
Child custody is one of the most debated and contested areas of family law. Most states decide child custody and parenting time based on the best interests of the child. The court considers things like which parent has the greater bond with the child, whether each parent has a stable home and whether either parent has a significant criminal record or substance abuse issues.
Adoption
Premarital Agreement
A prenuptial agreement is a contract that parties sign before they get married. Prenuptial agreements usually list who gets what in the event that the parties get divorced. There are some things that can’t be included in a prenuptial agreement like child custody and child support agreements. Otherwise, the parties can create an agreement that outlines things like separate property, distribution of the assets and spousal support in the event of a divorce. When the parties enter into this kind of agreement after they get married, it’s a post nuptial agreement.
Guardianship
He can prepare power of attorney and health care directives, arranging for someone to take care of your affairs in the event you should ever become mentally incapacitated. He can help you avoid guardianship or conservatorship issues if you need someone else to look after your affairs.
Spousal Support
One of the hot button issues in a divorce case is often alimony and spousal support. Some states use a formula in order to determine the amount of support. In other cases, it’s left to the judge’s discretion. Even in cases where the court uses a formula, it’s still important to make sure that the court uses the proper inputs in order to arrive at the correct amount of support.

Fraud
A “class action†lawsuit is one in which a group of people with the same or similar injuries caused by the same product or action sue the defendant as a group. Other names for lawsuits brought by a number of people who suffered similar harm or losses are "mass tort litigation" and "multi-district litigation" ("MDL"). People seek justice in class action lawsuits when their injuries have been caused by defective products, including but not limited to pharmaceutical drugs, motor vehicles and other consumer products, and medical devices. Other types of conduct over which people have sued as a class include consumer fraud, corporate misconduct, securities fraud, and employment practices.
Theft
Identity Theft
Elder financial abuse can take many forms, including scams by telemarketers or other con artists, forgery, identity theft, or the use of undue influence to pressure an older adult to transfer his or her assets. Close to 90% of elder financial abuse takes place in domestic settings instead of long-term care facilities and is normally caused by family members. This can be done through promises of lifelong care or through the use of a power of attorney authorizing the perpetrator to access an elder's financial assets. Signs of elder financial abuse include...
Business law starts with setting up a business. In the eyes of the law, each business is their own legal entity. Starting a new business typically starts with filing the paperwork that makes the business formally exist in the government’s eyes.
Business Transactions
One of the most influential documents for business operations is the Uniform Commercial Code. It’s a model code that outlines recommendations for commercial transactions. It covers topics such as the statute of frauds, contracts, leases, sales, credit, bulk sales and secured transactions. Business lawyers help their clients identify the laws that a business needs to follow, and they help ensure the company’s compliance with the laws.
There are many examples of class action lawsuits. A class may consist of a group of employees who were subjected to race discrimination, a number of patients who were prescribed a drug with injurious side effects, a neighborhood of residents whose homes or families were injured by a toxic spill, all the consumers who purchased a defective product that caused them injuries, or corporate investors who were defrauded during the purchase or sale of stocks and other securities.
Employment Litigation
For attorneys who enjoy regulation and compliance, employment law is a good choice. Employment lawyers don’t often see a courtroom. While employment disputes can go to trial, the vast majority of an employment lawyer’s duties involve advising employers in best practices and negotiating contracts. Employment lawyers might occasionally work to resolve employment disputes or negotiate bargaining agreements. Contested hearings are possible, but they’re typically an infrequent part of an employment lawyer’s duties.
With the help of an experienced attorney, those who qualify can successfully obtain permanent residency (a green card), and eventual citizenship. While the law provides a path to citizenship for workers and investors, the most common grounds for granting legal status is family-based immigration. This process begins when a permanent resident or U.S. citizen files a petition on behalf of a family member in a foreign country.
