While you're not required to have a lawyer, divorce involves complex legal, financial, and emotional issues. An experienced family law attorney can protect your rights, ensure fair division of assets, and help you navigate custody matters. Even in amicable divorces, having legal guidance is valuable.

First, seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor. Document the scene, get contact information from witnesses, and report the incident to relevant authorities. Don't give recorded statements to insurance companies without legal advice. Contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.

Prevention is key. Ensure proper business formation, maintain adequate insurance, use well-drafted contracts, implement clear policies and procedures, and seek legal advice before major decisions. Regular legal audits can identify potential issues before they become problems.

In a condo, you own your unit outright. In a co-op, you own shares in a corporation that owns the building, giving you the right to occupy a specific unit. Co-ops typically have stricter approval processes, higher down payment requirements, and more restrictions on subletting.

No. Retaliation against employees who report discrimination or participate in investigations is illegal. If you experience adverse actions after making a complaint, you may have a separate retaliation claim. Document everything and consult with an employment attorney.

Statutes of limitations vary by case type and jurisdiction. In New York, personal injury claims generally have 3 years, contract disputes 6 years, and employment discrimination claims may require filing with agencies within 300 days. Contact an attorney promptly to ensure you don't miss important deadlines.

Courts determine custody based on the best interests of the child, considering factors like each parent's relationship with the child, ability to provide care, mental and physical health, and the child's preferences (if old enough). Courts encourage parents to agree on custody arrangements when possible.

Bring all relevant documents such as contracts, correspondence, court papers, medical records, photos, and a timeline of events. The more information you provide, the better we can assess your case. Don't worry if you don't have everything—we can discuss what additional documents may be helpful.
