Practice Areas Description

- Family Law

At the law firm of Caldwell Helder Helms & Robison located in Union County, North Carolina, family law is a very important part of our practice. In fact, please visit our Family Law Information Center.

- Divorce

If you are contemplating a divorce, there can be a lot of people willing to share their advice and stories of other divorces. Be aware, though, that your divorce is unique. Your case is different from anyone else's. You need a lawyer who understands that and who can explain how the law affects you and your family.

- Child Custody & Child Support

Parents can honestly differ in what would be best for a child in a divorce. But custody must be determined either by agreement of the parents or by a judge's decision. Your family law attorney at the Caldwell Helder Helms & Robison law firm in Monroe, North Carolina, can explain the issues involved in child custody and child support.

- Property Division

Any assets acquired during a marriage — no matter whose name they are in — may be marital property and subject to equitable distribution. To understand what that means in your divorce, talk to a lawyer at the Caldwell Helder Helms & Robison law firm in Monroe, North Carolina.

- Alimony & Spousal Support

Not every separation or divorce includes alimony. When spousal support is included, it may be for the duration of the separation only, for a defined period of time after the divorce, or indefinitely. Talk to a family law attorney at the Caldwell Helder Helms & Robison law firm in Union County, North Carolina.

- Separation Agreement

In North Carolina, a married couple must live separate and apart for one year before a divorce can be granted. A separation agreement can resolve issues such as child custody, child support, living arrangements, spousal support, property division and other issues. Talk to a family law attorney at the Caldwell Helder Helms & Robison law firm in Monroe, North Carolina.

- Criminal Defense

Mistakes happen. Sometimes those mistakes can lead to an arrest and a criminal record. If you, your child or another family member has been charged with a crime, talk to a criminal defense attorney at the Caldwell Helder Helms & Robison law firm in Union County, North Carolina. We are experienced trial lawyers dedicated to protecting your constitutional rights.

- Sex Offenses

If you feel you are innocent of a sex offense, do you need a lawyer? Yes! For any criminal accusation, whether you feel you are guilty or innocent, you should have a lawyer, but it is especially important when the alleged crime is a sex offense. They are the most strictly punished crimes of all except, possibly, for murder. As soon as you know you are a suspect, call the Caldwell Helder Helms & Robison law firm in Monroe, North Carolina.

- Juvenile Offense

If your minor child is charged with a crime, he or she will have a lawyer. The court presumes the minor is indigent and will appoint an attorney. As a concerned parent, you may decide that it would be better to retain a juvenile defense lawyer with extensive juvenile court experience. Contact the Caldwell Helder Helms & Robison law firm in Monroe, North Carolina.

- Drug Possession

Have you been charged with a drug crime, such as simple possession of marijuana? A small charge may seem like no big deal, but no matter how minor a criminal drug charge may appear your future is important. You need an attorney to help you avoid getting a criminal record. A record could affect your future education and career opportunities.

- Domestic Violence

If arrested for domestic violence, you will be held without bond until you go before a judge. If you know of the possibility of an arrest, call a defense lawyer as soon as possible. Talk to a domestic violence defense attorney at the Caldwell Helder Helms & Robison law firm in Monroe, North Carolina.

- White Collar Crime

Is money missing at work? Have you been accused of stealing? Or have you been accused of fraudulently obtaining benefits? What is the evidence? Contact a defense attorney who can explain the charges and your options. Call the Caldwell Helder Helms & Robison law firm in Monroe, North Carolina.

- Theft and Property Crimes

If the evidence against you is not strong or if it was improperly obtained, we may be able to have the charges dismissed. But if the evidence is strong, what happens next? Talk to a criminal defense lawyer at the Caldwell Helder Helms & Robison law firm in Monroe, North Carolina.

- Wrongful Death

It is an unfortunate fact that every year millions of people are injured or killed due to the negligence of others. If you have been the victim of an accident, or if someone you love was killed in an accident, you may be unsure of what to do.

- Motor Vehicle Accidents

Unfortunately, the rapid growth of suburbs around Charlotte, North Carolina, has led to more and more motor vehicle accidents and fatalities along Highways 74 and 601, in addition to all of our other local roadways and intersections. As a result, it is not surprising motor vehicle accidents are responsible for more personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits than any other kind of accident in our area.

- Truck Accident

A truck accident is one of the most serious types of motor vehicle wrecks. These accidents can cause terrible injuries to the people involved due to their size, weight and cargo. If you have suffered a serious injury as a result of a collision involving a truck, you want a skilled and knowledgeable personal injury lawyer by your side.

- Workers' Compensation

Workers' compensation laws give every employee the right to benefits when they have been injured on the job. If you are having problems getting your employer to pay you the benefits you deserve, a skilled and knowledgeable attorney can help you secure compensation.

- Premises Liability

Property owners are responsible for keeping their property safe for visitors. When they neglect this duty, they should be held accountable and financially responsible for any injuries that result. This concept is known as premises liability.

- Estate Planning

If you are like most of your fellow Americans, you may have postponed any type of probate and estate planning. Surprisingly, people who meticulously plan every aspect of their lives often overlook or defer this type of planning until it is too late.

- Estate Administration

An estate administrator basically ensures that all of stipulations in the will are carried out in a timely manner. Other duties include collecting any income that is owed to the estate; paying any outstanding debts, including income taxes; withholding any inheritance taxes; and, finally, distributing the remaining financial assets to the rightful beneficiaries. Contact Caldwell Helder Helms & Robison to arrange for a confidential consultation with one of our estate administration lawyers.

- Estate Litigation

Disputes over the distribution of an estate or the handling of a trust can cause rifts in families and stress for everyone involved. However, if you suspect an estate is being mishandled or if you are being accused of improperly handling assets, it is important to hire a knowledgeable attorney to protect your interests.
