If you are arrested for any reason, it is vital to understand and exercise your Constitutional rights and to know the best first steps to take after an arrest if you’re in this situation. Every citizen has the right to legal representation when they have been arrested, and it is vital to acknowledge the importance of this Constitutional right. Without an attorney by your side, it’s possible that the law enforcement officers handling your arrest and booking may violate your rights and the laws of due process.

You might believe you can handle your divorce proceedings without legal counsel, especially if you and your soon-to-be ex-spouse are on relatively civil terms. While it is perfectly possible to negotiate the terms of your divorce privately with your spouse, hiring an attorney is an investment in peace of mind and an extra layer of security protecting your interests in divorce proceedings.

If you owned property before marrying, that property remains your separate property in divorce unless your spouse contributed toward the property, increased the value of the property, or helped you maintain ownership of the property during your marriage. An experienced divorce attorney can explain when separate property may have transmuted in this manner.
