What is the Arizona divorce process?

The Baker Law Firm LLC

In Arizona, the divorce process goes as follows. A petitioner would file a complaint with the Superior Court of Arizona. After filing that complaint, they would serve the respondent, or the other spouse, at which time that person would have 20 days to file a response to the petition for dissolution of marriage. If the person does not file a response, the parties can be divorced in 60 days pursuant to a default decree. If, however, the person files a response, the case will follow a normal trajectory in the Superior Court which could include a settlement conference, arbitration or in some cases, although not many, trial. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm. We serve individuals and families all over Arizona in family law matters, including divorce, child custody, child support and parenting time matters.

How does a loan modification work?

Carl E. Person

Loan modification works when you have the borrower and the back agreeing to making a change in the mortgage payments. The facts that are being considered are: Does the borrower have the capacity to pay at the reduced rate? Is the value of the property less so that it's no longer fair to hold the borrower to the higher value because for some reason the borrower may no longer be liable for any deficiency? Various factors need to be brought into play - they negotiate it out; reach a loan modification agreement and that way the homeowner stays in the property and usually pays a reduced monthly rate. I'm Carl Person; I'm a New York lawyer, and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

Can Cerebral Palsy lead to mental retardation?

Thomas M. Kiley and Associates, LLP

Cerebral Palsy can in fact, cause mental retardation.

What are the signs that a child may have Cerebral Palsy?

Thomas M. Kiley and Associates, LLP

When parents come to us and they suspect something is wrong with their child. They notice their child doesn’t develop, doesn’t reach the normal milestones when it should. If can’t roll over, can’t crawl, can’t stand. And they don’t necessarily understand that something happened during the birth process. So the child needs to be worked up, and many times cerebral palsy is not diagnosed until the child is two or perhaps three years old. I’m attorney Tom Kiley. I’ve been representing the seriously injured, and their families, in Massachusetts for over three decades.

What is Cerebral Palsy?

Thomas M. Kiley and Associates, LLP

Cerebral palsy is basically damage to the brain through trauma. It has many potential causes. Some are not preventable, some are. The ones that are preventable typically involve the treatment that's rendered to the mother and the child during the birth process. Leaving the child in the birth canal too long, a forceps delivery, vacuum extraction. Perhaps the failure to perform a cesarean section when the child is too large to pass through the birth canal. I'm Attorney Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

When is Cerebral Palsy typically diagnosed?

Thomas M. Kiley and Associates, LLP

Tom Kiley: Cerebral Palsy typically is not diagnosed until the child is two, perhaps three years of age. What happens is the parents notice that the child is not reaching its normal milestones. It can't roll over on its own. It can't crawl. It can't walk. At that point the child needs to have medical evaluation to determine what the condition is. Parents don't always understand that there was trauma during the birth process that may have injured their child. After they see a doctor and find out, they need to see an attorny who's experienced in the area. I'm attorny Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

How do I recognize if my child suffered a birth injury?

Thomas M. Kiley and Associates, LLP

Many times when parents come to us with a question about what happened to their child, they start to notice that the child isn't reaching milestones. Has an inability to roll over as a young infant. Inability to crawl or stand and maybe doesn't have balance. And they're starting to question what's wrong with the child because they don't necessarily understand that something traumatic happened during the birth process. And as soon as parents start to notice those signs, not only should they get a medical work up but they should seek out an attorney who can sort through the medical records and advise them as to whether or not something happened during the birth. I'm attorney Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

Will a loan modification negotiation stop my mortgage foreclosure?

Carl E. Person

A loan modification process - that is negotiating a loan modification between the borrower and the bank - you would think would stop the foreclosure proceeding, but it generally does not. That foreclosure proceeding is racing along. And the people at the bank are not calling up the law firm every day advising them on the thousand different foreclosures of what’s going on. The law firm that was told to get a foreclosure is proceeding with a foreclosure, where as the homeowner believes that in talking with the bank and negotiating, there is no foreclosure. That is contrary to what’s happening. They’re going to lose the property. I’m Carl Peron, a New York lawyer and a fighter, to keep people in their homes.

How do I get an order of protection in Arizona?

The Baker Law Firm LLC

In Arizona, the process for obtaining an order of protection is quite simple. The person needs to go to the courthouse, ask the appropriate clerk or staff about how to fill up the paperwork. They will then fill out the paperwork, go before a judge, and the judge will evaluate, expartate which means individually without another person present the merits of the allegations against the defendant. If the judge or the commissioner feels that the order of protection is appropriate, they will grant the order of protection. And by rule of thumb, they will grant the order of protection more often than they will deny it. My name is Mike Baker of The Baker Law Firm.

What is the role of an attorney in a Domestic Violence case in Arizona?

The Baker Law Firm LLC

In Arizona, handling a domestic violence matter is often tricky and fraught with various different persons who have interest in the proceeding. A victim might want to be protected but also might want to get back together with a defendant. The defendant might be prevented by terms of their release conditions from even going back to the home where a married couple had been for many, many years. Therefore the role of a defense attorney is two-fold. Its one to handle the actual criminal matter but on the other hand it to act in some sense as a counselor navigating through a process that is unfamiliar. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm. We serve individuals and families all over the state of Arizona in crinimal law matters such as drug possession, domestic violence and assault.

Will a sexual harassment case be in my employment record?

The Harman Firm, P.C.

I’m often asked how a sexual harassment claim or complaint, um, could show up later in an employee’s employment record. And there’s really no, uh, simple answer to that question. Um, it depends on whether there was a lawsuit filed, in which case, um, often times, um, that claim of harassment, will be kept confidential. Um, most em-, employers, uh, say that they will keep claims confidential. In my experience they don’t live up to that promise. So, walk through your particular situation with an attorney and express your concerns, and have the attorney guide you through the process of keeping, um, your particular claim, um, as confidential as possible.
