Child Support
(270) 778-0020 to schedule a consultation. Whether you are facing child support issues or wish to make a modification on your existing orders, we can help.
Child Custody and Visitation
Child custody and time sharing: We work with parents to ensure that they can continue to make the most of their relationship with their children and be involved in and have input in important decisions in your child’s life. You cannot get back time that is lost with your children. Our aggressive representation has resulted in favorable custody and time-sharing awards for our clients.
Premarital Agreement
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements: The sad fact is that roughly half of all marriages end in divorce. Therefore, it may be advisable to consider speaking to a skilled divorce lawyer about a prenuptial agreement or a postnuptial agreement that can set forth what each spouse will receive, and not receive, in the event of divorce.
Spousal Support
Maintenance: Called alimony in some states, “maintenance” is spousal support paid, usually monthly, by one spouse to the other. Judges have wide discretion in determining whether to award maintenance, and if so, in what amount and for what duration, in a given case. When judges have wide latitude, as they do when considering maintenance, the role your lawyer plays is most important. Aggressive, skilled advocacy is vital in advocating for, or against, an award of maintenance, and the quality of your legal representation can literally save, or cost, thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, in a single case.
Following graduation from UVA, Mr. Katz returned to Memphis where he clerked for the Hon. Julia S. Gibbons on the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee. At the conclusion of that clerkship, Mr. Katz joined a large firm in Memphis before joining Ballin, Ballin & Fishman, P.C., a noted, high-profile criminal defense firm. There, Mr. Katz gained invaluable trial experience, cross-examining literally hundreds of police officers and complaining witnesses, and trying three capital murder cases to verdict.

Individuals have premises liability claims when they’re injured by some kind of defective or unsafe condition on someone else’s property. In certain circumstances, a victim of a criminal act on someone else’s premises may also have a premises liability claim.
Property Damage
Under this system in Kentucky, you can’t sue another driver unless you have more than $1,000 in medical expenses. Insurance is meant to cover damages like medical bills, property damage, pain and suffering, and lost wages. Medical bills can easily mount if your injuries require hospital stays, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and more.
