West Virginia Divorce Lawyers & Litigation Attorneys
Handling Civil and Criminal Matters
If you are involved in a legal matter, it can be difficult to find the help you need. Whether you are getting divorced or filing for bankruptcy, one of the hardest parts of the process can be picking up the phone to call an attorney. When you contact the Law Office of Folickman and Turkett, P.L.L.C., you will find a West Virginia litigation attorney team that is committed to helping you find the answers you need. Unlike some larger law firms, we take the time to understand every detail of your case. We wrap up all the loose ends for our clients, and we are always available to help resolve other legal matters that arise down the road. Client-Focused Service When you are in the midst of a legal struggle, you may feel as though nothing in your life is more important. Most legal matters will affect the rest of your life, so it can be challenging to think about anything other than what you are working through. At some law firms, clients may feel like lawyers do not treat their legal matters with the urgency they deserve. We help clients work through family law and divorce, bankruptcy and Social Security matters every day, but we never lose sight of the fact that this is your first time through the legal system. When our West Virginia litigation attorney team meet with clients, we give them the information they need to understand every step of the process. Our clients are our priority, so when they call or e-mail we promptly give them the answers they need.
FAMILY LAW
There are few things more stressful than the breakdown of a family unit. Who keeps the house? Who pays the bills? What am I entitled to? And most important- what about the children? Our office recognizes that each and every case is as unique as the parties involved. We take the time to know you and what is most important to you. Your best interest is our main priority.
Family law also encompasses other areas. We provide representation in paternity cases, to establish or modify child support and parenting plans as well as for family violence protective order proceedings.
SOCIAL SECURITY APPEALS
You don’t plan on being sick or disabled, but it sometimes happens. When that occurs you are left feeling helpless. There are bills to pay, but you just aren’t able to work. And if you are denied your social security benefits, it can be devastating. Our office can prepare your appeal so that you can concentrate on your health and well being. We will gather your medical records and present them to the Judge so that they can understand the true nature of your disabilities.
CRIMINAL LAW
Sometimes you find yourself in a position of making a decision that has severe consequences that can affect your entire life. We understand that good people sometimes make bad choices and we work hard to help you turn things around. We work closely with the Court system to guide you through the best alternatives for your situation. We represent clients in misdemeanor and felony cases in the magistrate and Circuit Courts.
ABUSE AND NEGLECT
Situations can develop when you may be unable to take care of your children. Abuse and neglect proceedings are emotionally difficult and often times confusing for those not familiar with the system. We represent parents and guide them through the system assisting them in obtaining the help and skills they need to care for their children. We also represent those family members whose interests are to protect the children in their care.
WILLS
No one likes to think about the end of life and too many times people put off the decision to prepare a Will. A simple Will can ensure your wishes are carried out by your loved ones, while relieving them of the burden of making those difficult decisions of handling your estate.
