Poinsett Divorce Lawyer
If you are thinking about ending your marriage, there’s a lot you should consider. Going through a divorce is often one of the most challenging experiences a person can go through. Working with a skilled divorce lawyer will help you navigate the Arkansas divorce process as smoothly as possible. Whether you’re ready to file a petition for divorce or you’ve already received a petition from your spouse, consulting with an attorney as soon as possible helps you protect your rights.
Divorce is a significant change, but it can also bring about a new beginning. Attorney Bryce Cook can help you picture what your life will look like after your divorce is finalized. He will help you narrow down your goals and negotiate for the best divorce settlement possible. Divorces can be uncontested or contested. In an uncontested divorce, spouses agree on all of the significant issues, including child custody and property division. They can sign a settlement agreement and finalize their divorce without a trial. In contested divorces, the spouses will need to go through a court process.
In Arkansas, there are two main types of divorce: fault-based and no-fault divorce. Bryce Cook can help you determine whether you should file for a fault-based divorce or a no-fault divorce. If you file for a no-fault divorce, you can cite irreconcilable differences as the cause of your divorce. Neither spouse will need to blame the other spouse. You can also choose to file a contested divorce, claiming that one of the following caused the breakdown of your marriage:
- Adultery or infidelity
- Cruelty, including emotional, sexual, physical, or psychological
- Abandonment when one spouse leaves the other spouse for an extended period
- Impotence that wasn’t disclosed before the marriage
- Conviction of a felony or an extended period of imprisonment
Poinsett Personal Injury Lawyer
Attorney Bryce Cook also represents clients in personal injury cases. Car accidents, slip and fall accidents, and negligent security are all common causes of personal injuries. If your loved one has been injured by dangerous products, in a motor vehicle accident, or in any other way, it’s important to discuss your case with a lawyer as soon as possible.
Successful plaintiffs are entitled to economic and non-economic damages in Arkansas. As a plaintiff, you can recover compensation for all of your medical expenses both now and in the future. You can also recover compensation for your loss of income due to your inability to return to work. Finally, you may be able to recover compensation for pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of companionship.
Victims of personal injury accidents only have a short amount of time to file a lawsuit against a negligent party. If you don’t file your lawsuit in time, you will lose the right to recover the compensation you deserve. Plaintiffs must prove that the defendant’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional behavior caused the accident that resulted in their injuries. Attorney Bryce Cook will thoroughly investigate your case and gather evidence of the defendant’s negligence. The sooner you discuss your case with a lawyer, the better.
Poinsett Wrongful Foreclosure Lawyer
Many Arkansas families are concerned about their homes being foreclosed upon by their mortgage lender during these difficult financial times. They may assume that there’s nothing they can do except wait for the foreclosure to occur. However, there are several different legal options homeowners can take to try to remain in their homes.
If you are facing a foreclosure, or you’re already going through a foreclosure, you are not alone. Attorney Bryce Cook will review your options and help you see if the mortgage company has made any errors that would give you grounds for a wrongful foreclosure lawsuit. He may be able to delay or stop the foreclosure entirely. We recommend setting up an appointment with him to discuss your case so you can learn more about your legal options.
