Family Law

The goal of a divorce mediator is to oversee the settlement negotiations of a separation. Our attorneys can provide the legal support you'll need in the mediation process. Divorce is already a difficult transition, and if you are considering mediation, you'll want a team of lawyers who knows the tactics to successfully navigate the mediation process to make the transition as easy as possible.

  If you are facing any paternity issues, it's wise to get a lawyer involved early. Our team has expertly navigated countless paternity cases. It's important to take the proper, timely actions during the course of the case, and you'll want the guidance to make sure you don't miss opportunities.
• Premarital Agreement
  Pre-marriage agreements, also called prenuptial agreements, are not only for wealthy people, contrary to popular belief. In the State of Indiana, in the event of a divorce, all assets and debts alike are divided evenly between parties. A pre-marriage agreement can give both parties the peace of mind to enter readily into a lifelong partnership.
• Guardianship
  "[BOC] represents us in matters related to the guardianship of two of our grandsons and does so in a professional and effective manner.... [their] experience, preparation and presentation in my opinion was why we won the case and got a sizable judgement by the jury. I recommend the firm not only because of the way they handled our case but because of the manner in which they have dealt with us."
• Spousal Support
  In Indiana, spousal support or alimony may be awarded during a divorce, depending on factors like the length of the marriage and the financial needs of the spouses.

  We have experience in Indiana OWI charges, sometimes called DUI or DWI, and other serious alcohol and drug-related driving criminal defense cases.
• Wrongful Death

In these trying times, you need legal representation who can manage the legal details so you can focus on your family and what matters most with the reassurance the responsible parties are being held accountable.

• Misdemeanors
  Experience matters when it comes to criminal defense, and it’s essential to work with a lawyer who has handled cases similar to yours. Ask your prospective attorney about their experience with charges that mirror yours, whether it’s a misdemeanor or more serious felony charge. A lawyer familiar with local courts in Bloomington or Martinsville will have better insight into how prosecutors and judges operate, which can help in developing a tailored defense.

• Juvenile Crimes
  When a minor breaks the law, a legal case becomes complicated quickly. Because juvenile law works very differently from regular law, you'll need an attorney who specializes in juvenile law to ensure you make the best of a difficult situation. Minors who go unrepresented or work with an attorney who is not well-versed in juvenile law could suffer severe consequences. You'll want to schedule a free consultation with one of our team members to ensure the best possible outcome.
• Probation Violation
  In many cases, probation is part of a criminal sentence when a person pleads guilty or is found guilty at trial. Probation can differ greatly from county to county, and the attorneys at Boren, Oliver & Coffey, LLP have experience practicing throughout the state of Indiana and understand and appreciate these nuances.
• Arson

Employment Law

• Workers Compensation
  You might already know that if your personal injury takes place on the job, you are entitled to worker's compensation benefits. But you could also be entitled to additional compensation if your personal injury was caused by someone other than your employer, such as a subcontractor on a construction site. These claims can only be pursued within a limited time window, so to receive additional benefits, you need to act quickly in the event of an accident with a trial-tested attorney at your side.
