Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I know if I need a lawyer for my case?

  • If you're facing a legal issue that involves complex laws, potential financial consequences, or a dispute with another party, it's best to consult an attorney. A lawyer can help you understand your rights, navigate legal procedures, and work toward the best possible outcome.

What should I bring to my first consultation?

  • Bring any documents related to your case, such as contracts, court notices, medical records (for personal injury cases), financial statements (for family law matters), or police reports (for criminal cases). Having this information helps our attorneys assess your situation accurately.

How much does it cost to hire an attorney?

  • Legal fees vary depending on the type of case. Some cases, like personal injury claims, are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay if we win. Others, like family law or business matters, may have hourly rates or flat fees. We discuss all costs upfront so there are no surprises.

How long will my case take?

  • The timeline of a case depends on its complexity, the legal process involved, and whether a settlement is reached or litigation is necessary. Some cases may be resolved in weeks, while others take months or even years. We strive to resolve cases as efficiently as possible while ensuring the best outcome.

Can I settle my case without going to court?

  • Yes, many legal disputes can be settled through negotiation, mediation, or alternative dispute resolution. In some cases, settling out of court saves time and costs. However, if a fair resolution cannot be reached, our attorneys are prepared to represent you in court.

What should I do if I've been contacted by the other party's lawyer or insurance company?

  • Avoid making statements or signing any documents without consulting your attorney first. Anything you say could be used against you in negotiations or court. Let us handle all communications to protect your rights.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Child support in TN stops after the child is both 18 years of age and graduates from high school. What this means is that if your child takes until nineteen years of age to graduate high school, for example, you will still be on the hook until then. It also means if your child graduates before 18 years of age, you must still pay child support until they reach their 18th birthday.
  • Child custody cases are not always fair, and there may be things about your case that bias the court. Having an attorney will help you be represented fairly. An important decision like this should not be left up to chance, so consult a lawyer today.
  • It’s recommended, but not required, that you have an attorney to file for divorce. This applies to no-fault and at-fault divorces. An attorney will advise you on how to make the most of the process and make sure it goes as smoothly and quickly as possible.
  • First, one party must file a complaint at the courthouse to request the divorce. If you have children under the age of 18, the minimum amount of time to be granted a divorce is 90 days. For approval without children, it’s 60 days. This is assuming that both parties agree to a divorce. If one party is not cooperative, it will take eight or nine months at the earliest to have a trial. If you haven’t worked out things between you and your spouse, this time may get pushed back later and later. Confused or overwhelmed? Don’t be. Puryear, Newman & Morton, PLLC is here to help.
  • At least one spouse must have lived in Tennessee for at least 6 months prior to filing for divorce.
