Services
Legal Representation
Report
The experienced attorneys at Next Legal provide a full range of legal representation, from case filing, court hearings, discovery, settlement negotiations and trial. We recognize that each case is different and take a customized "listen first" approach to best serve our clients. This involves understanding every client's goals, needs and concerns, as well as the facts, issues and best strategies for their case.
Mediation & ADR
Report
Next Legal offers a full range of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services, including mediation, collaborative law and private case resolution. ADR is a good alternative when both parties can agree that a private settlement process will be preferable to a contested court case. Our experienced attorneys will help you select the right ADR method for the successful resolution of your case.
Unbundled Legal Services
Report
Our law firm provides unbundled legal services to clients who prefer to handle some or all of the case themselves, with the assistance of our experienced attorneys and professionals. This allows clients to exert greater control over their cases and facilitates more direct communications with the other side.
Cohabitation
Report
California does not recognize common-law marriage. For a marriage to exist in California, the parties need to have formally married, which generally must be proved through a marriage certificate or other documentation. However, California does provide for alimony after an unmarried romantic relationship under specific circumstances.
Fiduciary Duties
Report
California imposes stringent damages remedies, sanctions and attorney's fees against a spouse who breaches his or her fiduciary duties to the other spouse. A transfer of property ownership or other transaction that results from undue influence or another form of breach may be set aside, and concealed assets or other property may be forfeited to the other spouse.
