Prenuptial agreements

We provide legal advice and prepare Prenuptial Agreements. Prenuptial Agreements save unnecessary complications in the future as well as take the financial issues and uncertainty from new marriages which enhances the marriage because parties can remove finances as an issue and protect their children with an individualized Prenuptial Agreement.

Civil and criminal litigation

We can often resolve civil conflicts through sophisticated negotiation. If settlement does not work out, we litigate your case in court to ensure your rights are upheld. We handle civil disputes including:

John T. Phipps Law Offices, P.C. also handles complex multiparty cases. We are known for our ability to successfully work out many civil disputes without the need for going to trial.

While our criminal experience is considerable, we now limit our criminal practice to providing effective criminal law representation for white-collar crimes, domestic violence matters and DUI/drunk driving. We have years of experience on all sides of the criminal law process and use this knowledge for our clients' benefit. Criminal cases are difficult, and persons facing criminal charges need a lawyer who will protect their rights, knows how to meet the challenges and understands the problems the client faces.
