Our Services
At Landin Law Firm, we understand the fear and uncertainty that can accompany the legal process. Our dedicated attorney prioritizes clear communication, ensuring you are informed every step of the way, so you will not feel in the dark as the case moves forward.
Divorce
Hiring a skilled divorce attorney is essential to protecting your rights, assets, and parental interests. At Landin Law Firm, we guide clients through every step of the divorce process—whether amicable or contested—offering strong negotiation, mediation, and, when needed, courtroom representation to minimize stress and achieve the best possible outcome.
Alimony
Alimony, or spousal support, is not automatically granted in Nevada and must be formally requested during divorce proceedings. The court considers factors like income, employment, age, and length of the marriage to determine if support is appropriate and in what amount. While spouses can negotiate terms, unresolved issues are decided by a judge. At Landin Law Firm, we help clients pursue or contest alimony based on their financial circumstances, providing skilled guidance through every step of the process.
Property Division in Divorce cases
Property and debt division is often one of the most complex aspects of divorce, especially when significant assets are involved. At Landin Law Firm, we take a thorough approach to community property division under Nevada law, addressing real estate (including international property), businesses, retirement accounts, and potential issues like marital waste or commingled assets. With experience working alongside forensic accountants and real estate experts, we ensure your interests are fully protected during this critical part of the divorce process.
Uncontested Divorce
An uncontested divorce in Nevada allows couples who agree on all aspects of their separation to streamline the process through a Joint Petition, avoiding the need for a trial. At Landin Law Firm, we help draft, finalize, and file these agreements to ensure clarity and compliance with legal requirements. To qualify, couples must meet criteria such as residency, mutual agreement on divorce terms, full financial disclosure, and no active bankruptcy. This collaborative approach often results in a faster, more cost-effective resolution.
Guardianships
If you need to care for a loved one who cannot care for themselves, Landin Law Firm can help you pursue the appropriate guardianship under Nevada law. We assist with all types of guardianships and can also defend against petitions when guardianship may not be necessary.
Child Custody & Paternity
Child custody and paternity cases can be emotionally complex, and at Landin Law Firm, we work to protect your child’s well-being while advocating for your parental rights. Nevada recognizes both legal and physical custody, with a preference for joint arrangements unless not in the child’s best interest. We tailor custody plans to each family’s unique situation, addressing visitation, communication, safety protocols, and any necessary involvement of mental health professionals. Whether starting a new case or modifying an existing order, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Temporary Protective Orders & Domestic Violence
At Landin Law Firm, we handle both family and criminal matters, providing seamless representation in cases involving temporary protective orders, domestic violence charges, and child custody disputes. These issues often overlap, and having one attorney who understands the full scope can make a critical difference. Whether you’re facing charges or seeking protection, we offer strategic guidance and strong advocacy throughout Clark County and surrounding areas.
