Criminal Defense
Unlike many attorneys who only focus on a narrow subset of criminal defense, Hessley Law Offices will take both felony and misdemeanor criminal cases. When you tell us your situation, we won’t judge you based on the charges you’re facing. Rather, we will study your case thoroughly and strive to protect your rights at every stage. We will explore all legal options to mount a zealous defense of your rights and reputation. No matter the nature of the charges, you can feel confident about having our firm by your side throughout the ordeal.
DUI Defense
If we’re all honest with ourselves as we look back, there’s probably been at least one time in our lives when we should not have been behind the wheel of a vehicle. And these days, police forces are much more likely to be on the lookout for people potentially driving under the influence. At Hessley Law Offices, we believe that good people make mistakes sometimes. If you’ve been charged with DUI, we encourage you to contact our office for help. We’ll do our best to minimize any potential consequences, including fines and possible jail time. Once again, we aren’t here to judge you. We’re here to help you as much as we can.
Auto Accidents
While it’s certainly frustrating to be involved in an auto accident, it’s even more frustrating when that auto accident was the fault of another party, but you’re left suffering. If you’ve been hurt in an auto accident, please reach out to Hessley Law Offices. We will make sure your rights under the law are fully protected and the party or parties responsible are held accountable. Additionally, we’ll help guide you throughout the entire process, allowing you to take one worry off your plate so you can concentrate on getting your life back to normal.
Personal Injury
Personal injuries can happen anywhere: on the highway, on the job, at the store, or just walking around the neighborhood. Depending upon the nature of the injury, you may not be able to work or live your life as you normally would for quite some time. Hessley Law Offices is here for you during this difficult time. Not only will we do everything within our power to hold the responsible party or parties accountable, but we’ll also strive to ensure that you are compensated for your lost wages and medical bills. We’ll help you plan for your future, making sure you have all the resources you need. Finally, we’ll advocate on your behalf when it comes to dealing with insurance companies. When you choose Hessley Law Offices, you can feel confident knowing you have an attorney who’s fully on your side.
Wrongful Death Claims
While nothing we can do will ever bring your deceased loved one back, Hessley Law Offices can seek to hold the party or parties responsible for their death accountable to the fullest extent of the law. We are well-versed and experienced with wrongful death claims. We are not afraid to either negotiate on your behalf for a just settlement or go to trial and fight for you and your loved one that way. Our firm is very familiar with the likely legal avenues in these cases, so you can feel confident about moving forward with your case.
Civil Lawsuits
Civil lawsuits can vary in nature. But one thing that doesn’t vary is the legal representation you’ll receive from Hessley Law Offices in civil lawsuits. Whether you are the plaintiff or the defendant, we’ll make sure your case is made as well as possible in court and that your rights under the law are always protected.
Workers’ Compensation & Unemployment Claims
There’s one thing that workers’ compensation claims and unemployment claims have in common: the insurance carrier representing your employer will usually try everything possible to avoid paying out a claim. That’s why you need a legal professional like the ones at Hessley Law Offices by your side when seeking workers’ compensation or unemployment benefits. We’ll fight for you throughout the process, doing our best to ensure you’re never being taken advantage of. If you have a valid case, we’ll also fight to help you receive the full benefits due.
Estates, Wills, and Trusts
For many people, estate, will, and trust law can be very difficult to comprehend. Most people have an idea of how they want their assets to be distributed following their passing, but they don’t know how to go about making sure their wishes are carried out. Hessley Law Offices can assist people in all areas of estate law, including wills and trusts. We can help you establish or change a legal will, as well as help you establish a trust fund to protect your assets while still allowing access to the income they provide. Just let us know what you need.
Real Estate Transfers
Real estate law can be another complicated area for most people to understand. But residents of Warren County can rest easy knowing they have Hessley Law Offices always standing by. We have plenty of experience in legal matters involving real estate transfers, and it doesn’t matter if the property in question is residential, commercial, or industrial. We’ll strive to ensure that the property transfer goes as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Just give us a call to get started.
Family Law
Hessley Law Offices can assist people in all areas of family law, including divorce, child support, and child custody. We understand that this area of the law often elicits strong emotions, which can sometimes cloud judgment. No matter what your case involves, you can always count on our firm for support, both legal and otherwise. We will fully spell out what to expect from the legal process, and we’ll be on guard to ensure that your rights under the law are fully protected. We will always seek the most favorable outcome possible in your case.
Guardianship
The process of establishing legal guardianship can be a complicated one. In Pennsylvania, when an adult person of any age is found by a court of law to be incapacitated, someone may then be appointed as their legal guardian, and as such is responsible for making financial, medical, and personal decisions on their behalf. Hessley Law Offices is very familiar with the Guardianship Tracking System (GTS) used in the Keystone State. Our firm can help you establish or change legal guardianship under the law.
