I am Kelly A. Damm Attorney at Law, and I believe that my clients need to take charge of their futures – whether that means addressing a complicated family law issue or successfully navigating the intricate web of the criminal justice system. Here are some of the questions I hear most often:
When do I need a family law or criminal defense attorney?
Any time you are confronted with a situation that could affect your family relationships, your freedom or your future opportunities, you need dedicated and compassionate legal representation. A family law attorney addresses issues such as divorce, custody, support and adoption. A criminal defense attorney handles all kinds of criminal cases, including allegations of domestic violence or child abuse.
What if my case involves both family law and criminal defense issues?
Some clients are facing issues on both the family law and criminal defense front at once, such as a domestic violence charge in the middle of a divorce. Fortunately, I have significant experience in both areas, and I am ready to take either kind of case to trial if that serves my clients’ interests.
What should I consider when picking a family law or criminal defense lawyer?
Ideally, you want an attorney who takes a strategic approach to your case and prioritizes your well-being. I have the experience and skill to address even the most complicated legal and interpersonal issues.
Can an attorney help me understand the adoption process?
Yes. I have handled many adoption cases and can guide you through each step from beginning to end. Whether you are looking into private adoption, are a foster parent who wants to adopt your charge or a stepparent who wants to formalize your relationship with a stepchild, I can help you navigate the process with confidence so that you can build the family you envision.
