Family Law

• Divorce
  If you and your spouse are on good terms and have no children or property, uncontested divorce by mutual consent can help you avoid a long, drawn-out divorce process. Thomas Conrad & Conrad Law Offices provides uncontested no-fault divorces without property or custody issues for the most reasonable cost in the Lehigh Valley. Our flat fee is only $1,500.00 plus the divorce filing fee, which is paid to the court.
• Child Support
  Pennsylvania child support is determined according to state guidelines and based on the respective net incomes of each parent. Although Pennsylvania courts generally follow these guidelines closely, our child support attorneys can bring to light any extenuating circumstances that may affect the amount of support that’s paid or received.
• Child Custody and Visitation
  Child visitation and custody issues can be multifaceted and challenging to resolve. At Thomas, Conrad & Conrad, our team works to help you come to an agreement that meets your family’s needs and is in the best interests of your children. Whether you’re going through a divorce or need to alter an existing visitation agreement, our child custody lawyers can help you understand your rights and ensure your children’s well-being is always a primary consideration.
• Adoption
• Guardianship
• Spousal Support
  In Pennsylvania, spousal support is available to the spouse who earns less until a divorce decree is issued, and only then under limited circumstances. If the person requesting spousal support has behaved in a manner that could be grounds for a fault divorce, the court may choose not to order it.
• Child Abuse
  Supervised visitation may be granted when a noncustodial parent isn’t capable of spending time alone with their children. Child abuse, sexual abuse, domestic violence, substance abuse, and mental illness are common reasons why supervised visitation may be required. Supervised visits must be overseen by an adult. Depending on the specific situation, supervised visitation may involve a neutral party or a responsible family member who monitors the visit and ensures that the child is safe.

Criminal Law

• DUI/DWI
  If a DUI accident caused injury or death, you’re entitled to make a statement in criminal court when the drunk driver is sentenced. Your statement could have an impact on any drunk driving accident claim or lawsuit you may pursue against the driver or other responsible parties. It’s essential to consult with a motor vehicle accident attorney before speaking out in court to avoid saying something that could jeopardize your case.
• Wrongful Death
  If you or a loved one have been injured in an accident, whether it’s a motor vehicle, motorcycle, wrongful death, etc…, you/they may be coping with significant pain and facing substantial medical bills as well as time away from a job.

• Traffic Violations
  Speeding: Driving any vehicle at excessive speeds can be deadly. The faster the speed, the greater the impact and incidence of life-altering injuries and fatalities.
• Misdemeanors
  Commonly known as a restraining order, a Protection from Abuse order prohibits an abuser from making contact with a victim. Typically, an alleged abuser is not allowed near the victim’s workplace, school, home, or place of business. Additionally, they’re not permitted to reach out to the victim through third parties, such as friends or family members. PFAs can be an effective tool in preventing violence and harassment. A person who violates a PFA may be charged with a misdemeanor offense and face up to six months in jail or probation with a maximum fine of $1,000. They can also be charged with other crimes while also violating the PFA.

Property Law

• Premises Liability
  Slip-and-fall claims fall under the legal umbrella of premises liability. Businesses and property owners have a responsibility to exercise reasonable care and maintenance to keep their premises safe for those who visit their property. If someone is injured or killed due to the business or property owner’s failure to prevent or repair unsafe conditions, they may be liable for that person’s injuries or death.

Trusts and Estates

• Estate Planning
  Wrongful death claim damages are intended to compensate the surviving family members for losses related to their loved one’s death. If there’s no spouse or surviving family members, damages like pain and suffering cannot be recovered. However, a personal representative of an estate may seek damages for medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, and estate administration expenses to compensate the estate for costs related to the wrongful death, even if there are no surviving relatives.

Finance Law
