Litigation
Know and protect your rights. Litigation can be defined as the process of resolving disputes by either answering or filing a complaint in the public court system.
Litigation in federal courts is governed by several rules. These rules include the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and Federal Rules of Evidence. Each court and the standing orders of judges may or may not supplement these rules.

Divorce
No one enters into a marriage with the expectation that it will end. However, people and circumstances change over time, and a once-thriving marriage may find itself in turmoil. When this occurs, moving on and dissolving the marriage by filing for divorce may be the couple’s best option. However, filing for divorce should not be taken lightly; it can be a very stressful and emotionally draining experience for everyone involved. It is important that you don’t go through this experience alone, and that you have a skilled, compassionate attorney at your side.

1) Indian Law deals with the relationship between Native American tribes and the federal and/or state governments.
2) Tribal Law deals with the constitutions, codes, and cases of individual sovereign nation tribes.
