Your Questions, Answered

  • We offer a broad range of representation in the family law area, including, but not limited to: prenups, modification of legal and physical custody, modification of child support, contested and non-contested divorces, paternity, and guardianship actions, to name a few. Feel free to reach out for clarification regarding your specific case.

  • Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form, email us, or schedule a consultation. We’ll walk you through the next steps and will answer questions about your particular case and the legal process.

  • Our founder’s background includes several different areas of law, which enables her to view cases in a more holistic and pragmatic manner from someone who’s solely worked in the family law field.

    She also has experience in a number of Indiana counties with both contested and non-contested divorces and she takes every case to heart.

    Reviews from prior clients show our commitment to the case goes beyond the ordinary work day, and although we cannot guarantee outcomes, some of our clients have received verdicts which far exceeded their initial demands or expectations.

  • You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email, and you can always schedule a consultation for a time that’s convenient for you.

    We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day—absent previously-scheduled hearings or mediations.

  • The initial consultation is $100. Retainers vary based on the complexity of the case, with hourly fees being assessed against the retainer amount.

    We do our best to minimize costs and the length of the proceedings to the extent that it depends on us, and if the case is concluded before the entire retainer has been spent, the remainder will be refunded to you.

  • Your contact information, cause number and brief history of the case if one was filed, the county in which you live or where the case is pending, any background information, i.e., when children are involved: their ages, custody agreements, and preferences regarding the same, and for divorces: income information for both parties, assets and liabilities subject to division, and any history or allegations about substance, emotional, physical abuse, or any other impropriety.

    We’d also like to know how you found out about us since we love to acknowledge referrals from our amazing clients.

  • While holding a license for all Indiana counties, our work is generally limited to Central Indiana, like Marion, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Boone, Tipton, Morgan, Johnson, Shelby, and Madison, since it may not make sense for you to pay for an attorney to travel to your county for hearings.

    However, we’ve handled cases all over the state are willing to do so if the situation warrants it.

  • Unfortunately, that’s impossible the answer with specificity. Every case is different and the time until resolution can vary between a day or two (if only a call or email to the other party or opposing counsel is necessary) to over a year, if not several (in the case of highly contested divorce with complicated discovery, non-party requests, custodial evaluations, substance abuse issues, custody conflicts, multiple hearings, and DCS allegations), for instance, and which, if appealed, would add close to a year or more for the appeal itself.
