FAMILY LAW
The Bryant Firm has experience in all
aspects of family law. One area of family
law is divorce. Common issues
associated with divorce are property and
debt division, child custody, child support,
visitation, and alimony. Alternatives to
divorce in family law include separate
maintenance (commonly referred to as a
legal separation), and divorce from bed
and board (a partial divorce that prevents
either spouse from remarriage before an
absolute divorce).
Child custody, while an issue often
addressed in divorce actions, is also
recurrent outside of a divorce. Issues
commonly associated with child custody
include the establishment of paternity for
children born outside of marriage,
modification of previous custody, visitation
and child support orders, and enforcement
of previous child support or visitation
orders.
Family law is not just practiced in the
domestic relations courts, but also in
probate court. Guardianships and
adoptions are heard by probate judges.
Family law is also practiced in juvenile
courts through dependency neglect,
juvenile delinquency, and family in need of
services cases. Family law is complicated,
so people with family legal needs should
have a family law attorney.

misdemeanor and felony criminal law.

particular city (i.e. the Rogers District Court,
or Bentonville District Court). Common
issues handled by The Bryant Firm criminal
law attorney include traffic tickets, DWIs,
shoplifting, and so forth. Felonies are much
more serious offenses and are heard in the
Circuit Court of the County (i.e. the Carroll

A criminal law attorney is responsible for
safeguarding certain rights. Criminal
defendants do have the right to remain silent
and should not speak to the police without an
attorney because anything that is said can be
used in Court to convict them. Criminal
defendants have the right to a fair and speedy
trial by a jury. Criminal defendants have the
right to confront their accusers, cross examine
them at trial, and view evidence presented
against them. Criminal defendants have the
right to present evidence in their defense. It is
very important that every criminal defendant
have an attorney.

| PRIMARY PRACTICE AREAS |
Most law firms require clients to pay
thousands of dollars up front. Often
times, that large fee is only the
beginning because the attorney works
at an hourly rate of between $150.00
and $400.00 per hour or more. Clients
may only pay for between ten and
twenty hours of work in the beginning
and get billed for more money later on,
and that doesn't take costs into
consideration. At The Bryant Firm,
we're changing that.
Our clients pay a low monthly rate for
their legal services. Most of the time,
that rate is $500.00 per month. On top
of that, clients will still have to pay the
costs we incur, such as filing fees,
deposition fees, copies, and so forth.
While this may still seem like an
exorbitant amount of money, you can
expect significant savings at The Bryant
Firm.
Research tells us that on average a
litigant can expect to spend between
$4,000.00 and $6,000.00 or more for
a contested family case, which typically
lasts around six months. At The Bryant
Firm, your attorney fees would only be
$3,000.00, plus costs involved. On
average, you will only spend between
$2,500 and $3,500 for the same case.
