Frequently Asked Questions
We know you may have questions when facing a legal matter. Here are answers to some of the most common ones our clients ask. If you need more information, please contact us for a free consultation.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes. The first consultation is free!. We offer free initial consultations so you can tell us about your situation, ask questions, and understand your options before making any decisions. Additional consultations, if requested, are $100 for each 30 minutes.
How long does a divorce take in Nevada?
The timeline depends on whether your case is contested or uncontested. An uncontested divorce, where both parties agree, can sometimes be finalized in a matter of weeks. A contested divorce may take several months or longer depending on the issues involved, such as custody or property division.
How is child custody decided?
In Nevada, the court makes custody decisions based on the best interests of the child. Factors include the child’s relationship with each parent, the parents’ ability to cooperate, the child’s needs, and in some cases, the child’s own wishes. Our job is to advocate for you while keeping the child’s best interests at the center.
How much do your services cost?
Every case is unique, and legal fees depend on the complexity of your matter. We are upfront about costs and will discuss fees at your consultation. In some cases, we may offer flat fees, while others are billed hourly.
What should I do if I’m arrested?
Stay calm and remember your rights. Do not answer questions from law enforcement without an attorney present. Politely state that you wish to remain silent and ask to speak with a lawyer. The sooner you involve an attorney, the better your chances of protecting your rights and building a strong defense.
Can custody or support orders be modified?
Yes. Custody and support orders can be changed if there has been a significant change in circumstances, such as a change in income, relocation, or the child’s needs. We can help you petition the court to modify an existing order.
Should I talk to the police without a lawyer?
No. Even if you believe you have nothing to hide, speaking with police without legal representation can harm your case. Always request an attorney before answering questions.
