Family Law

• Divorce
• Guardianship
  If you have a loved-one who is losing – or has lost – the ability to care for him or herself, Jewel & Stoneman, LLP can advise you on the legal avenues available to help in this situation. In a conservatorship, the court appoints an individual to manage the financial affairs of a person who is deemed incompetent to handle his or her own affairs. In a guardianship, the court appoints a guardian to make decisions about the personal care of a minor, such as where the individual will live and what kind of care they will receive. A person may have a conservator or guardian for their finances, but still be able to make their own personal decisions.
• Spousal Support

Criminal Law

• DUI/DWI
  Depending on the situation, there are potential disadvantages to holding property as joint tenants. One of these disadvantages relates to liability. Because the property is owned jointly by all of the tenants, the tenants can be held jointly responsible for the liabilities of any one of the tenants. If one person is involved in a drunk driving accident, for example, the tenants can suddenly lose their property. That’s a very big concern if it can be avoided.
