FAQs

Do all civil litigation cases have to go to trial to be resolved?

A common misconception is that all civil litigation cases must go to trial to be resolved. In most instances, civil disputes are resolved out of court using Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). Standard ARD methods include mediation and arbitration, where the parties meet to attempt a mutually agreeable resolution. ADR is less expensive and time-consuming than costly litigation. However, if ADR methods do not resolve the disagreement, the case will then have to be taken to court for resolution. During mediation or arbitration, it is always best to have a lawyer present who can advise you of your legal rights.

What constitutes workplace harassment in Virginia?

Virginia law stipulates that any unwelcome conduct in the workplace based on protected characteristics constitutes harassment. Protected characteristics include race, color, religion, sexual orientation, age, disability, and pregnancy, to name a few. The discriminatory or intimidating behavior must be sufficient to create a hostile or offensive work environment or result in punitive actions by the employer. Anyone dealing with work harassment should keep an accurate log of events, including names, times, dates, and the place where the behavior took place. They should also contact a lawyer immediately who can determine their legal options.

How old does someone need to be to create an estate plan?

Many individuals believe that they need to be an older adult or very wealthy to create an estate plan. However, most adults can benefit from creating a comprehensive estate plan to ensure their wishes are fulfilled. If you are a parent of minor children, having an estate plan is essential. When you draft a will, you can stipulate who should have custody of your children. You can also create a trust that allows them to have access to financial resources. Even if you are unmarried and have no children, you need an estate plan that designates who can make decisions for you should you become incapacitated.

What legal issues can delay the probate process?

Unfortunately, many issues can arise that delay the probate process. One of the most common factors involves disputes regarding the validity of the will and the division of assets. In other instances, unresolved claims from creditors can significantly slow down the legal process. Other causes include the complexity of the estate or breach of fiduciary duty, also referred to as executor misconduct. If heirs and beneficiaries believe the executor is not acting in the best interest of the estate, they can pursue probate litigation that can take significant time to resolve.

What kind of trust can protect my assets should I need to go to a nursing home?

If you suspect that you may need to enter a nursing home and receive long-term care, you are probably worried about your assets. The best method to ensure your home and other financial resources are protected is to create a trust that can shield your hard-earned assets. The most common types of trust that offer asset protection are irrevocable trusts, especially Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts (MAPTs). These trusts can ensure that your financial resources are available to support your family or beneficiaries. However, if you are considering a trust, you must consult an attorney immediately, as Medicaid has strict rules regarding countable assets.

How can I know if I have a valid wrongful termination case against my employer?

Virginia law strictly prohibits employers from terminating employees for reasons stemming from discrimination or retaliation, breach of contract, or in violation of public policy. If you have been terminated, it is essential to determine if you were fired in violation of the terms of your contract, based on a protected characteristic, or if you were targeted because you engaged in protected activities. If you suspect that you have been wrongfully terminated, you must be sure to thoroughly document all actions that occurred, including names, times, dates, and places. Documentation can provide critical evidence that can be used in legal proceedings to prove your case.

Can a family law attorney assist me in modifying an existing child support order?

Yes, a family law attorney can assist you in modifying an existing child support order. However, specific conditions must exist before the court will consider a modification. Common reasons that a child support order can be modified include changes in child visitation or custody arrangements, significant changes in income, or the child’s needs, such as increased healthcare costs. A family lawyer can file a petition with the court and gather evidence that supports your case. Additionally, your lawyer can represent you in court and make arguments as to why the existing order should be modified.
