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.

law.

CRIMINAL LAW
The Bryant Firm has experience in both
misdemeanor and felony criminal law.
Misdemeanors are minor offenses that are
usually heard in the District Court of a 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 County Circuit Court, or Washington
County Circuit Court). Common felonies
handled by The Bryant Firm criminal law
attorney include delivery of a controlled
substance (drugs), assault and/or battery, theft
and burglary, sexual offenses, and so forth. The
Bryant Firm has experience in both federal and
state crimes.
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.

CHILD LAW
Attorney Ad Litem
Joshua Bryant is certified as an ad litem
attorney in the State of Arkansas in
domestic relations cases. This means that
he can represent your children if you are
going through a divorce or custody battle
to make sure they have a voice and that
their needs and best interests are being met.
Department of Human Services
The Bryant Firm also represents parents in
some of the toughest times imaginable.
The State of Arkansas through its
Department of Human Services acts to
protect children, and can sometimes do so
over-zealously. At The Bryant Firm, we
work as parent counsel - an attorney for
the parents when DHS takes their children
away in cases called "Dependency
Neglect."
Juvenile Delinquency
Sometimes kids get into trouble. If your
child ever does something that would be
criminal for an adult, they are often
brought into juvenile court for prosecution
and punishment. For the most part, the
same rules of criminal process and
adjudication apply.
Family in Need of Services (FINS)
FINS stands for Family in Need of
Services. Families can bring a FINS
petition against a child if they meet one of
three criteria: habitual absence from home
without permission (runaway), habitual
absence from school, or habitual
disobedience to the reasonable and lawful
commands of his or her parents. This
process involves the court system to assist
parents, teachers, and others responsible
for children in raising those children and
correcting behavioral problems.

Small Business
Most business done in the United States is done
by small businesses. Many people do not know
about the benefits of creating a partnership,
limited liability company (LLC), S Corporation
(S Corp) or other business entity. These
entities can protect you, but they must be
formed properly. If you would like to start a
business, call us at (479)633-8994!

Wills and Trusts
No matter how little you have, it is important to
have a will. After your death, it is important for
people to know what to do with your
belongings. And although one cannot
technically avoid probate, we can help you
make the probate process much simpler than
had you not had your estate plan reviewed by
an attorney. We have experience in drafting
simple wills and trusts , living wills, powers of
attorney, beneficiary deeds, and other end of
life documents.

trusts.
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 $425.00 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 $2,550.00,
plus costs involved. On average, you will
only spend between $2,500 and $3,500
for the same case.
There is also an advantage to using The
Bryant Firm because clients do not incur
additional attorney fees above the $425.00
per month except in very rare and
emergency circumstances. For example,
a deposition usually costs about $250.00
per hour to have a court reporter record a
verbatim transcript of everything that is
said. Clients who pay their attorney by
the hour incur an additional $150.00 to
$400.00 per hour attorney fee, spending
at least $400.00 per hour. At The Bryant
Firm, clients only pay for the cost of
hiring a court reporter. They incur no
additional attorney fees, which often
causes their opponent to run out of
money and think more reasonably about
settlement.
