Divorce and separation

Divorce is a scary word for many people. Divorces are most often filed when you and your spouse are not able to agree upon the issues of your marriage. These issues include custody of your children, child support, spousal support, payment of debt and property division. It is a lengthy process lasting anywhere from six months to eighteen months. If you are considering divorce, please contact our firm to set up a consultation.

In the Tri-State area, a nursing home bed can range between $6,500-$12,500 per month. Because health insurance or Medicare will not pay for an extended stay at a nursing home, you must determine how this care will be paid. For many the best answer is by utilizing the benefits of Medicaid. This is especially true if adult children are facing spending their own savings to care for their elderly parents.

Estate planning

33%

There are many people who do not feel an estate plan is necessary, especially the unmarried or those without children or significant assets. This is incorrect thinking. Regardless of the degree of wealth or the situation, everyone can benefit from an estate plan. An estate plan that is catered to your needs can help prepare for the potential of being physically incapacitated so as to effectively distribute your assets at death.

I realized early on that I enjoy working one on one with clients. I have no interest in creating a high volume practice because that would take away from my ability to connect with each client and learn about that person as an individual. I view each case I have as unique and do not believe there is a one size fits all solution for anyone. I also believe that it is extremely important for you to trust me, feel connected and know I am listening to YOUR concerns. So many times, I have clients tell me that the other attorney they interviewed did not listen. I make every effort to hear what you are saying and incorporate your wishes into our decided upon course of action. My work in elder law and divorce/dissolution areas of practice is philosophically driven by personal experience.

Olivia is Awesome!

Olivia helped us with the process of obtaining restraining orders against a terrible human being. We weren't familiar with the process and she helped us with pure professionalism, always on time and quality advise on what needed to be done. I highly recommend her and have referred her to several friends of mine over the years that needed assistance with divorces. She has helped them all and anyone would be lucky to have her as their lawyer.

Professional and Knowledgeable

OIivia represented me in a child support trial. She was very patient with my questions and was quick to get back with me to explain the process and the child support laws clearly. I was on the defense, which can be a difficult position because we did not know what to expect to be coming from the offense. With thorough deposition requests and concise trial questioning, I believe she helped the court understand the facts. I am grateful for her ability to handle a stressful situation for me, in a professional manner. In the end, we achieved the results that I was hoping for, which is appropriate and adequate child support for my children. I have recommended Olivia to 2 close friends and will continue as she is very knowledgeable of the legal processes and laws.

The Best I've Ever Seen!

From the first moment Olivia and I spoke during my consultation, I knew I had found a gem. She was very direct, reassuring and generally concerned in taking care of me as her client. I've unfortunately been through a couple of custody cases, I've left it in the hands of attorneys before and been disappointed in the results. Olivia is very strategic and knowledgeable. She also always made me feel comfortable in each move that needed to be made for my case, even when it was difficult for me. In any type of case that you would consider hiring Mrs. Smith, I would say you couldn't go wrong. Myself and my family appreciate her more than their are words to express.

Great Attorney!

Olivia was amazing. I went through a very nasty divorce that lasted over a year. There were times I wanted to give up and Olivia kept me going. Going into trial I was so scared. Olivia and I spent a lot of time together educating me on legal terms and giving me the best advice possible. I never had to sit in limbo, Olivia is very quick at replying to phone calls and emails. I am beyond grateful for all of her hard work and dedication to my case. I would recommend her to anyone.

Smart, honest, and helpful

Olivia was amazing throughout my whole experience. As I dealt with one of the hardest periods of my life, I was so grateful I had Olivia to help me through everything -- she is reliable, honest, and most importantly, smart enough to guide me through the legal ins and outs of my situation, helping me understand my options and achieving what was fair and deserved. I highly recommend Olivia!
