A GREAT NEWNAN LAWYER

If you are about to go through a divorce, custody dispute, or support modification you want to make sure that you are represented by a great lawyer. How can you make sure that you get everything you want and that the divorce is clean and final if you don’t have good and real legal representation? A divorce lawyer can smooth out the process for you and help you understand the ‘fine print’ of divorce proceedings. You are going to want to work with one of the top divorce lawyers you can find in your area and this article will give you the edge in your search for the divorce lawyer you need to hire. Now don’t take the attitude that you don’t have the money to hire and work with a top divorce lawyer in your area. Though your apprehension is normal, especially since the top divorce lawyers in any area can charge top dollar–way beyond the budget of any ordinary person about to go through a divorce, you need to know that getting on the short list of top divorce lawyers in your area requires a lot of success and that comes from doing a lot of cases not just the million dollar ones. So what makes a top divorce lawyer? Is it the law school he or she attended; the number of high-profile divorces under his or her belt; the cost of legal fees being charged? While these are usual considerations in making that determination, there are others. Top divorce lawyers don’t soar to the top just because they are hired by famous people or because they charge a lot to represent you; they get to the top by hard work hard and by building a good reputation with the Courts as lawyers that are fair and negotiate cases well and when in front of the Court are there for serious business and not for minor details or ridiculous assertions. You will know that you are working with one of the top divorce lawyers when you witness for yourself the lawyer’s level of professionalism. He or she will know the ins and outs of divorce and family law, and the lawyer will take a keen interest in every detail of your case and offer you some words of wisdom based on his or her experience from years before the Court your case is in. He or she will also stay on top of developments in divorce law, and will be constantly adding to his or her knowledge by attending divorce and family law seminars. You also know that you’re dealing with a good lawyer if he or she really takes time to talk to you and learn about your case and discuss strategic ways to present the case in the best light for successfully reaching your goals. Keep in mind that the top divorce lawyers are usually in high demand, and secure them immediately. And be forewarned that a top divorce lawyer is not one that requires a huge up front fee but is one that has a large hourly rate. Don't fear that large hourly rate as a top divorce lawyer will bill fairly and frequently won't charge for short calls and short office visits.

An injury can happen in an instant. Physics and Biomechanics demand that speed and weight combine to cause catastrophic results when governed by human recklessness and indifference … From car and truck accidents to dangerous unregulated or under-tested products, to animal attacks, even reckless/malicious internet trolling, the law of a civilized country demands that the victim(s) be compensated in terms of enough money to make the victim(s) whole relative to the damage done and the gross recklessness of the actions that caused the injury. It was realized even before the Law of Moses that the foundation of civilization had to be fair compensation in money damages for injury(ies) and not blood feuding and revenge. The Law of Moses expounded upon that belief and since ancient times the civilizations that have flourished have centered on just compensation for injury(ies). When an incident of injury and damage occurs, it is paramount that the people close to the injured party and the injured party if he or she is able, act quickly and decisively to pin down statements, the scene if there is one, that you take pictures of everything from every angle and every perspective, and that every statute that might be applicable to what happened is reviewed and addressed with an eye toward determining what amount of money will make the injured person whole, and in some cases, what amount of money will make an entire family, devastated by the injury, whole. Proper and complete compensation is the only closure acceptable to the victim(s) of injury due to no fault of their own. Unfortunately in today’s world of irresponsibility and blaming others or circumstances, that almost always requires a lawsuit. What to do, what to do??? Filing A Lawsuit Today, really mandated and do so immediately. Civil Procedure makes the start of litigation easy because it is the backbone of civility for it to be easy to seek to be made whole in a manner other than retribution and family feuding. But as is the case in most complicated matters, the devil is in the details. Filing a lawsuit has to be combined with through investigation, experts when needed, analysis and research. A large percentage of lawyers do not want to dedicate the time and effort involved in properly preparing a personal injury lawsuit to maximize recovery. R. Keith Prater, 770-253-7778. Maximizing a Verdict Act quickly. The most important thing to do immediately is to secure the evidence – within hours, the same day, if you or your family can do it. Take more pictures than you think you should. Get the investigating officer’s name and all the witnesses. Go to the scene and take pictures. Take pictures of the injury. And … ABOVE ALL ELSE … get a real injury lawyer, not a TV talking head – an actor representing someone you will probably never meet in person or even talk to, involved in your case. R. Keith Prater, 770-253-7778 Ask your physician questions: Treatment is critical, you must seek medical care to return to your old self as soon as possible so that your injury can be quantified in terms of permanent damage, future medical care, long term chronic problems. In several cases over the past 27 years I have had clients feel perfectly fine at the scene, and therefore, forgo going to the hospital in an ambulance — this can be a mistake. In the several cases, where the impacts were severe, injury was masked by adrenaline and the next day my client(s) felt terrible: In two instances that readily come to mind, fractured vertebrae were discovered, fractures that could have caused paralysis and even death during the night after my clients told the investigating officer that they thought they would be okay! Only trained medical professionals can tell injuries when the dazed and confused present after a collision. If you prove to be uninjured or mildly banged up, the visit is a source of evidence for both your attorney and an insurance company and the wreck can’t be used against you in the future if you are in another one. Continuity: If you are injured, and your doctor recommends treatment, then do it! It is a mistake to forego treatment and it will be used against you in the immediate claim and in the future! It is a bad mistake to end treatment before a physician tells you it has run its course. Cooperate: Your personal injury attorney will need your full and complete cooperation to get your claim maximized in terms of money – you must be totally candid and honest and remember that too many details does not exist! Write it down! All of it! R. Keith Prater, 770-253-7778 Contact the Law Offices of R.
