Rates, Retainers and Additional Information
The firm can help because it will provide professional experience, team work, and personal attention to helping you. As a team member, the firm will keep you informed so we are better prepared to work together to use material information at the right time and place in negotiation and litigation. Professional personal attention on all matters avoids costly staff coordination and conferences. Paralegal and clerical services are billed separately from attorney professional services. Because this is a small firm, there are however downsides to the service. Professional services usually require a review of applicable law in each case. Second, professional services must be prioritized and allocated between clients. Third, clients are also part of the team and you must stay informed about the case and be ready to assist in negotiations and/or trying your case.

Legal Answers
- Q. I need to add the surname to my childs birth certificate. Where do i do this and what all do i have to do? thanks!!!
- A: Such a change would probably require a Mississippi Chancery Court order requiring the Miss. Department of Vital Records to change a Mississippi birth certificate. To make corrections or to make changes to a birth or death record, contact the Miss. Department of Vital Records Corrections Department at 601-576-7981.
- Q. Can i sign my rights over on a child n mississippi
- A: The court should approve termination of your parental rights if it is in the best interest of the child.
- Q. Is there and additional waiting period to change from an at fault divorce to irreconcilable differences?
- A: An irreconcilable differences divorce pleading has to be on file for 60 days. If a fault based pleading is amended to irreconcilable differences it will relate back to the date of filing of the original complaint for divorce for purposes of satisfying the 60-days requirement.
