Case Result: Primary Custody Awarded to Our Client
At Adkins Law, we believe custody decisions should always reflect the child’s best interests. Recently, we represented a parent in a high-conflict ...custody dispute. The other parent sought equal custody, but evidence showed that our client had consistently been the children’s primary caregiver, handling school routines, medical appointments, and extracurricular activities.
We carefully presented testimony from teachers, neighbors, and health providers, along with schedules and documentation showing our client’s stability and involvement. After a contested hearing, the court agreed that granting our client primary legal and physical custody best served the children’s needs.
This ruling ensured the children would have stability and consistency in their daily lives, while still allowing the other parent meaningful visitation. We were proud to help our client secure an outcome that put the children’s welfare first.

Case Result: $475,000 Judgment Secured in Civil Defamation Case
At Adkins Law, we know how devastating false statements can be to a person’s reputation, career, and peace of mind. In a recent civil ...lawsuit, our firm represented a professional who became the target of malicious rumors and defamatory online posts spread by a former associate. The false claims damaged our client’s business, strained personal relationships, and caused serious emotional distress.
We conducted a thorough investigation, gathering social media records, witness testimony, and financial documentation that proved both the falsity of the statements and the harm they caused. In court, we demonstrated the defendant’s reckless disregard for the truth and the significant damages that resulted from their actions.
After a contested trial, the court entered a judgment of over $475,000 in favor of our client. This award compensated them for lost income and reputational harm, and it sent a strong message that defamation will not be tolerated.
At Adkins Law, we fight to restore our clients’ reputations and hold wrongdoers accountable. While every case is unique, this outcome highlights the power of strong advocacy in protecting both dignity and livelihood.

Case Result: Substantial Alimony Award Secured for Our Client
At Adkins Law, we understand that financial stability is often one of the biggest concerns in divorce. In a recent case, we represented ...a spouse who had supported the family throughout a long marriage while the other spouse pursued advanced education and career opportunities. When the marriage ended, the other spouse attempted to minimize financial responsibility, leaving our client at risk of losing the lifestyle they had worked so hard to build together.
We carefully documented the length of the marriage, our client’s contributions as a homemaker and caregiver, and the significant income disparity between the spouses. Through financial records, expert testimony, and strategic negotiation, we presented a compelling case for why ongoing support was fair and necessary.
The court agreed, awarding our client substantial monthly alimony for a lengthy period of time. This ruling allowed our client to maintain stability, transition forward with dignity, and ensured that their years of contributions to the marriage were properly recognized.
At Adkins Law, we are committed to protecting our clients’ financial futures in divorce. While every case is unique, this outcome demonstrates how thorough preparation and strong advocacy can achieve results that reflect fairness and security.
