Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire a defense attorney?
Legal fees vary depending on the complexity and type of case. We offer free consultations for all potential clients, allowing us to discuss your specific situation and provide transparent information about costs. During your consultation, our attorneys can explain fee structures and payment options available for your particular legal matter, whether you need a criminal law attorney, divorce lawyer, or probate lawyer.
What should I do if I'm arrested for a crime in Texas?
If you're arrested, remain silent and avoid answering questions from law enforcement until you consult with a defense attorney. Police officers can use anything you say to build a case against you. Contact Kirk & Williams Attorneys at Law immediately for representation. Our criminal law attorney has experience defending clients against various charges, including assault crimes, drug crimes, DUI charges, DWI charges, embezzlement allegations, and white collar crime accusations throughout the Midland, TX and Odessa, TX areas.
How long does the divorce process take in Texas?
Texas law requires divorce cases to remain on file for a minimum of 60 days before finalization. However, the actual timeline depends on various factors, including property division complexity, child custody arrangements, and whether the divorce is contested or uncontested. Our divorce court lawyer can help guide you through each step of the process, including matters related to child support, spousal support, and asset division.
Do I need a will if I don't have many assets?
Every adult should have a will regardless of asset value. Dying without a will leaves property distribution decisions to the court, which may not align with your wishes. Our wills and trust lawyer can help create essential estate planning documents, including last will and testament, living wills, living trusts, and special needs trusts. We also assist with guardianship matters and probate proceedings to ensure your loved ones are protected.
What's the difference between child custody and child support?
Child custody refers to legal and physical custody arrangements determining where children live and who makes important decisions about their upbringing. Child support involves financial payments from one parent to another for the child's care and expenses. Our child custody attorney and child support lawyer can help establish fair arrangements that serve your children's best interests while protecting your parental rights.
Can you help with white collar crime charges?
Yes, our white collar crime attorney provides zealous representation for professionals and business owners facing complex criminal investigations. We handle cases involving fraud, insider trading, forgery, money laundering, and embezzlement charges. Our embezzlement attorney carefully examines financial records and internal company policies to build strong defense strategies. We understand how these allegations can damage reputations and careers, and we work tirelessly to protect our clients' rights and futures.
