FAMILY LAW

Family Law

Family law involves emotional family issues that can change the daily living situation of you and your loved ones'. At the beginning of your case you may feel uncertain, or even scared. Fortunately, as career-long family law attorneys, we enjoy nothing more than winning custody of a child, protecting a client’s assets, or otherwise restoring order to a family during troubling times. Our decades of success includes out of court settlements, contentious trials, and appellate court victories. Our attorneys work to ensure that you make the best decisions for you during your litigation.

Quick Solutions

We start by making sure our client is fully informed of the process and their options. We work to solve problems quickly. If a situation can be resolved without a court hearing, there is no need to delay or waste our client’s money. Jeff and Chris have established respectful relationships with family law attorneys throughout Mid-Missouri. We communicate your concerns to the other side and try to reach an agreement.

Contested Hearings

Opposing counsel and Judges also know that if our client needs action, our attorneys will not hesitate to go to Court. If we cannot reach an agreement, we will gather your evidence, prepare you for the hearing and present your case. We value our reputation in the judicial system. When we appear in Court, we want the Judge to know that you have a good reason for requesting a hearing. This helps ensure that your case is thoroughly considered by the Court.

Retaining our firm means that Chris or Jeff will handle your case from beginning to end, instead of delegating matters to a paralegal, legal secretary or inexperienced associate. Mr. Basinger and Mr. Braddock are here to counsel and guide you through your case, regardless of your family law issue.
