1. You Are Injured
Personal Injury can be a very trying,
traumatic thing for anyone to deal with.
It’s often difficult, in the heat
of the moment, for the victim or their loved ones to focus
on gathering all the information that may be needed down the
road. In the instance of a car accident, details like the
other driver’s license plate number, or the addresses
of witnesses, often are forgotten in such extenuating circumstances.
But those are the details you will need
for your personal injury case. That’s why we’ve
created THIS
EMERGENCY CARD, which you can keep in the glove
compartment of your car – just in case anything should
happen.
If, in the days after your incident, you
discover you were injured – and it was someone else’s
fault – you may decide to file a personal injury case.
This is the time to contact one of our attorneys, who then
will ask you to come in for an initial interview. If you can’t
come in, we will come see you. You can help speed that process
along by printing and filling out THIS
FORM.
After deciding to file a personal injury
suit, many victims have questions about what to do next. Check
out our Ask The Law Team Section for more answers.
2.
You Need Help With Estate Planning
Death isn’t something any of
us want to think about. But reality tells us that we all should
be prepared – especially if we have someone in our lives
who relies on us.
Our Law Team wants to help you make those
plans, so your family and loved ones will be cared for should
tragedy strike. LOOK
HERE to find out what information we need to
help plan your estate; if you are confident in what you are
looking for, you can fill out the form and bring it to us,
or you can bring the form to us, and we will help you fill
it out.
If you’ve lost a loved one, we also
can help you manage their estate. But please, don’t
feel that you must call us immediately; take the time to mourn
your loved one first, and we’ll be ready to help you
out once you are ready to begin the process.
For an idea of what it will take to manage
your estate, please print out our PRELIMINARY
INFORMATION SHEET, which will allow you to begin
gathering information before you come to see us.
And if – God forbid – tragedy
should strike before the deceased has the chance to plan for
their dependants, we can help you with that, as well.
In such cases, we often represent the
person seeking guardianship of the dependants – and
we start with an INITIAL
INTERVIEW, which can be sped up by printing and
filling out the above form.
3. You Need Help Handling a Divorce
Very few people ever expect to get
a divorce; fewer understand the process when it comes time
to file.
That’s why coming in to talk to
our attorneys about divorce always begins with an explanation.
We will walk you through what we call “Divorce 101,”
letting you know what to expect, what to look out for, and
helping you figure out what you are entitled to in the proceeding.
Then, we will work for you, and fight
to make sure you get what is yours.
Our Law Team also is experienced in handling
custody cases. The first step in any divorce involving children
is attending a seminar called “HELPING
CHILDREN COPE WITH DIVORCE,” put on by Family and
Children’s Services, Inc. Information on attending one
of these seminars, which are required by the court, is at
the above link.
The other major issue in custody hearings
– aside from the decision of custody itself –
is child support payment. CLICK
HERE for a copy of the Child Support Obligation
Worksheet, if you need to see what you can expect to pay in
child support.
4. You Are Declaring Bankruptcy
Here at Olsen, White & Hambidge,
we see bankruptcy as a chance for you to restart your life
– and we want to help.
But in order to do so, our attorneys
need certain information from you. That information can be
obtained in an interview in our office, or you can PRINT
THIS FORM, and fill it out before visiting our office.
5. You Need Other Legal Advice
Our Law Team also advises on any
number of other legal matters, ranging from criminal law to
family and small business cases.
To make an appointment, please call us
at (812) 423-3143. And, if you’d like to get some of
the paperwork out of the way before coming in, you can print
and fill out THIS FORM and bring it with you
to your appointment.
