Areas of Practice


Divorce

 

It hasn’t happened to everyone, but if it happens to you, things will never be the same. How you come out of a divorce is often a direct result of how you go into it. As your attorneys, we will ensure that you walk through your divorce with your eyes wide open. We will explain your rights, your responsibilities and your chances for success in any action you decide to take – all while coaching you on how to present your very best case and cheering you on to get you through the emotional turmoil the destruction of a divorce can bring.


Custody and Support

 

No area of the law brings emotions to the forefront like a custody battle. Your kids are the most important thing to you, which makes them the most important thing to us. When it comes to custody, we don’t play games. We don’t sugar coat things. And we don’t let you make mistakes. Custody may be the only area of the law where your case never seems to end, but you rarely get a second chance. Let us help you understand the rules, navigate the system, and present your best possible case to protect the best interest of your children – from the very beginning!

Perhaps nothing is more frustrating for separated couples than dealing with issues of support. There is probably no area of family law where EACH party walks away dissatisfied as often as they do in support court. In this economic climate, where everyone is watching every penny, it is entirely natural for one party to feel that they are not getting enough financial help, while at the very same time the other party feels that they are being drained and left with nothing. We will help you manage the expectations and frustrations of this system – all while putting you in the best possible position to make the numbers work for you!


Criminal Defense

 

We have extensive trial experience in firearm offenses, violent criminal offenses, theft, drug offenses and DUI. Attorney Prosser previously attained the necessary requirements to be "death qualified" in homicide cases in 2002. Attorney Prosser has handled thousands of criminal matters throughout his career. No matter is too big. We treat every criminal matter, whether defending you on a traffic ticket or against a felony criminal charge with the same deference and respect.


2A, Firearm Issues, Pardons

 

Attorney Prosser wrote his law school thesis on the Second Amendment as an individual right. Since then, Attorney Prosser has had a keen interest in legal issues surrounding firearm litigation, justification and self-defense. If your right to own or possess firearms has been compromised, and you have a desire to show your good character, call the Law Office to discuss potential options tailored for you, including the filing of a Pardon Petition.

General Family Law

 

Child Advocacy -Attorney Prosser was a Guardian Ad Litem (a "GAL" is an attorney who represents children and defends and protects their best interests) for over 25 years. He was first appointed as a GAL in private custody cases through the Court. Because of his unique skill set he was awarded a contract through the local Children and Youth Services office where he became the GAL for all dependent children in our system. Now, Attorney Prosser accepts no government contracts and strictly represents private parties that battle with the system. Regardless, Attorney Prosser always puts the needs and concerns of the children involved in his cases above all else.

Elder Law / Estate Planning / Incapacity - Attorney Prosser was the contracted attorney representing the elder (often abused or incapacitated) person with the Perry County Office of Aging for over 15 years. Now, Attorney Prosser is the only local attorney who has no affiliations with any government agency or organization, strictly representing private clients. Attorney Prosser is experienced in all facets of will preparation and elder law issues. We can assist you in drafting wills and powers of attorney.

Adoption - Sometimes practicing Family Law can be enjoyable – and that is most true when we handle an adoption. But just because it is a joyous occasion, that doesn’t mean that you can hire just any attorney to have it done – because one thing you DO NOT want is a mistake in an adoption case. Our focus in representing you in your adoption will be to ensure that NOTHING goes wrong that can upset that joyous day – either on the day of the hearing or any time in the future!

Termination of Parental Rights - Sometimes life does not work out quite like you thought it would, and you realize that the best thing that you can do for your child is to remove a negative influence from their life. When that negative influence is the child’s other parent, you need solid legal advice to guide you. If that time comes, we will guide you through the process, explain the applicable laws, and provide the options that will allow you, and more importantly your child, to close a bad chapter of your child’s life and start a new one with a more loving and caring parent.
