Law Office of James E. Holland, P.C. 2500 South Power Road Suite 217 Mesa, Arizona 85209 (480) 633-3805   Bankruptcy, Family Law, Divorce, Child Custody and Support, Estate Planning, Probate, Wills, Trusts, and Estate Planning   Bankruptcy Attorney Serving Maricopa County and Pinal County Chapter 7 and 13 Eliminate Debt Property Protection The Law Office of James E  Holland PC desires to make our clients aware of the many changes in bankruptcy laws from October of 2005.  People have been left with the assumption that they cannot qualify for bankruptcy. That is one of the myths we dispel at our firm. Based on the clients who come to our office, 95% of them will still qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Even if they don't pass a means test related to their income, they will still likely qualify for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. While we are efficient in filing multiple bankruptcies, we recognize that each client's financial situation and bankruptcy needs are different. Our staff is casual and approachable and will communicate in a way you can understand. Do not hesitate and, more importantly, do not assume that the new laws exclude you from filing bankruptcy. For more information or to schedule an appointment with an experienced lawyer regarding a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, please contact our office.   Maricopa County, Arizona, Family Law and Child Custody / Support Attorney Child support and child custody are among the most heavily contested issues in the area of family law. The Law Office of James E  Holland PC strives to alleviate our clients' concerns by thoroughly explaining their Family Law, divorce, child custody / child support rights and options, as well as the possible financial and emotional toll family court litigation may have on both them and their children. If you wish to modify an existing custody agreement to make it more effective, please call our Mesa, Arizona,  attorney today to schedule a consultation. The Law Office of James E  Holland PC, we handle the following family litigation issues: Divorce Annullment Termination of Parental Rights/Adoption Pre-Nuptial Agreements  Child custody modification Child support arrearages Requests to modify child support order If necessary, we use forensic experts in child custody cases. We believe that bringing in highly-qualified, highly-educated psychologists, custody evaluators, and parenting coordinators leaves less room for uncertainty in these cases. Our firm is sensitive to the fact that Arizona is advanced when it comes to fathers' rights and custody rights for absent fathers. However, if these fathers believe they are being unjustly forced to pay a child support award that is too high, we can work with them in negotiating for a lower financial support amount. Child Support Based on the Arizona guidelines, we inform clients of their parental rights and responsibilities regarding child support. We can also help clients obtain a child support order or modify an existing order for child support. Please note every three years, parents can request a hearing to modify a child support order due to a substantial change in circumstances such as a change in the income of either party, emancipation of the child, or special needs in the way of private school or disability. When mediating a family law issue of child custody / child support, we are effective negotiators and often can resolve conflicts early on in the legal process.   Estate Planning Attorney and Probate Attorney Serving Maricopa County and Pinal County Wills Medical Durable Power of Attorney  Living Wills Probate of Large and Small Estates   The Law Office of James E  Holland PC, we believe that everyone should have an estate plan, regardless of the amount of wealth involved. An estate plan, whether simple or complex, allows you to plan for the future of your family, indicate how your assets will be distributed, and make your wishes clear about care at the end of your life. We use the depth of our experience in this area to benefit our clients.  Additionally, we provide services and planning for family emergencies that would require the use of a Medical Power of Attorney and/or the use of a Living Will.   These instruments are usually used in time of crisis and can offer a sense of security and direction-  in an otherwise tragic event.
