Other Legal


Although Ison and Rome L.L.C., specializes in criminal defense law, we can also help you through other difficult legal matters.

 

Divorce
Divorce is the final termination of a marriage, canceling the legal duties and responsibilities of marriage and dissolving the bonds of matrimony between married persons.  The legal process for divorce may also involve issues of spousal support, child custody, child support, distribution of property and division of debt.  It is also an extremely painful and turbulent time for the people going through the divorce.  At Ison and Rome, the attorneys understand and respect the emotional toll you are going through, and strive to make the divorce process as fair and painless as it can possibly be.

 

Paternity
Where paternity of a child is in question, a mother may ask the court to determine paternity of a child based initially upon sworn statements and then upon testimony or other evidence.  A successful application to the court results in an order assigning paternity to a specific man, possibly including support responsibility and/or visitation rights.  The attorneys at Ison and Rome can help you contest or establish parental rights, and assist with the legal and physical custody issues, visitation, and child support.

 

Immigration
Since September 11, 2001, immigration has become a very hot political and legal issue.  The laws controlling immigration have become much stricter, making it more difficult than ever for people to obtain permission to enter and stay in the United States of America.  Obtaining citizenship is a long and detailed process. 
Persons not legally in the country are at risk for deportation from simply getting a traffic ticket.  There are many options for a person facing deportation proceedings.

 

Bankruptcy
While bankruptcy cases are always filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court, bankruptcy cases are often dependent upon State law.  If you need to declare bankruptcy to obtain relief from debt, this can be accomplished either through a discharge of the debt or through a restructuring of the debt.

These are all life-altering legal issues, and you should seek the counsel of a qualified attorney to ensure the process works for you.
