Our leadership team at the Thurman Law firm will determine which attorney can best represent you in handling your case. It may not be possible, or advantageous, to have one attorney handle all of your legal matters. One lawyer will be responsible for the overall progress of the case, but from time to time, another attorney may perform certain duties within the case itself.

We understand the importance of communication and transparency between attorney and client. Although we would like to talk to you weekly by telephone, that would be neither practical nor productive. Legal matters have a way of stretching out over long periods of time. To you, it may often seem like ages have gone by without activity, however, in fact, much behind-the-scenes work is being completed so that on the day your matter is ready, nothing will be overlooked.

There are certain matters that are fairly straightforward or not unduly difficult to learn and, therefore, do not require the services of an attorney, like writing a business plan, researching and picking a name for your business or reserving a domain name for your website.

No one can stop a lawsuit from being filed. However, if there is a legitimate dispute that arises and a claim made against you, consult a lawyer.

Your business’s lawyer is a resource. At the Lord Law Firm, we might answer your questions about your business, from how to deal with your employees to explaining what a contract means in plain English (and when we don’t know the answers, we know where to look). We might negotiate on your behalf and make sure that you’re not being taken advantage of, or we might draft documents that make the deals you strike legally enforceable.

In addition to ending your marriage, a divorce addresses all issues within the marriage, including property, finances, and child-related issues. This is the most common way to deal with marital issues, as Florida does not recognize legal separation.

While many individuals proceed through the divorce process, having the help of an attorney with family law experience can go a long way toward protecting your interests. Florida’s family laws have developed over many decades and are often nuanced and complicated.
