Legal Q&A: Special Promotion from James Short, PLC

1. What areas of law do you practice in?
The primary areas I practice in are family law, criminal and traffic law, and social security disability law.

2. Should a person consult with an attorney before signing a separation agreement in a divorce matter?
Yes. A separation agreement is a contract. Once you sign the agreement, you are bound by its terms. Many issues such as spousal support, child support and division of property can be very complicated. An experienced family law attorney can guide you through this process.

3. Should a person consult with an attorney when facing DUI charges?
Yes. DUI laws are complicated. There are many technical issues in which an experienced DUI attorney can provide invaluable assistance. Furthermore, DUI is a criminal offense which means you could be sentenced to jail. Even if the charge is not dismissed, an aggressive attorney may be able to get the charge reduced or argue for minimum punishments.

4. Does your office speak Spanish or offer an interpreter?
I work very closely with translator Rene Perez-Lopez. When I have a Spanish speaking client, I contact Mr. Perez-Lopez to assist me. Also, when people call my office, they have an option to listen to the voice mail in Spanish.

I have been practicing law for over 20 years. I am now accepting new clients and would be happy to use my extensive experience to help you with your legal needs. You may come to my office with one case however my goal is to establish a long term relationship so that I can assist you in all your future legal matters.
