Divorce/Separation Attorney Serving Brown County Illinois
One of the more complex legal matters for any family law attorney is the marital dissolution process. While things can go smoothly, it isn’t uncommon for these to be incredibly complicated issues. Therefore, having an experienced attorney with proven mediation skills is so important. The last thing either party wants is to leave the courts to decide on the division of marital assets, parental responsibility, etc.

Child Custody Attorney Serving Brown County Illinois
Child custody and child support are the two factors that tend to make nearly every marital dissolution process complicated. As a parent, nobody wants to lose the rights of their child, causing tension between parties when trying to reach an agreement. While the parents have an opportunity to reach an agreement, that decision is left to the courts when parents cannot agree to terms. The court’s rulings always keep the child’s best interest in mind.
The next step is deciding on child support payments. Two components factor into this decision: the financial security of each parent and the amount of time each parent is allotted with their child. If you want an experienced attorney who knows how to protect your parental rights best, call Michael A. Hankins Attorney at Law.
Traffic Law Attorney Serving Brown County Illinois
Did you know that when you are charged with a traffic citation, it doesn’t just stop at paying a fine? The impact can go well beyond that. For example, receiving a traffic citation can lead to your insurance premium skyrocketing. Additionally, if the citation is severe enough, you could have your license revoked or suspended. If you don’t have experience with traffic law, an attorney from Michael A. Hankins Attorney at Law can be beneficial.
Not only can we skillfully advocate for a lesser charge (hopefully it doesn’t land on your driving record, which means your insurance wouldn’t be affected), but we also have experience having the charges dismissed.
