Family and Divorce Law
Breakups are difficult and painful, both emotionally and logistically. Parenting during and after a separation comes with significant challenges. Divorces frequently create tension around financial stability and concerns of separating assets. Navigating the legal system can be daunting, but amidst the turmoil of a breakup and all of the complex issues surrounding and following it can make the process utterly overwhelming.
At Henchen & Oblak, LLP, we will accompany you through the complex legal processes, sharing our knowledge and experience as well as our innovative and creative legal problem-solving as we vigorously represent you and your interests. We will thoroughly analyze your situation and explore your options and potential solutions with compassion and understanding.
Criminal Defense
A criminal charge of any kind is something to be taken seriously. One of the very first dilemmas that a future criminal defendant will likely face is whether to talk to the police. Regardless of the reason the police want to talk to you, whether because they seem to be on your side or are obviously building a case against you, one of your most important constitutional rights is the right to remain silent and to have an attorney present with you for any questioning. If you are facing the complex decision of whether to talk to the police, consulting first with an experienced criminal defense attorney is one of the best decisions you will ever make.
Our attorneys at Henchen & Oblak, LLP, have represented individuals for many different types of criminal charges, including DUI, arson, grand larceny, aggravated assault, domestic assault, sex offenses, fraud and embezzlement, driving offenses, and many more. We take pride in educating our clients on their constitutional rights as well as their rights under the law, and we carefully listen to our clients' questions and concerns so that we can provide clear answers and careful legal advice.
Personal Injury
Car accidents, dog bites, bike or truck accidents, and slip and fall injuries are all potential examples of the negligent or wrongful injury of someone by another. Such injuries can be disruptive and expensive. If you have suffered injuries in an incident or accident caused by someone else, our attorneys at Henchen & Oblak, LLP, want to help. Your well-being, recovering, and compensation for your injuries are our priority. Our attorneys vigorously pursue claims against insurance companies and those responsible for such injuries on behalf of our clients, and we thoroughly review the facts and applicable law to achieve positive results.
Appeals
Just because a decision was handed down by a court doesn’t mean that is the end of the legal journey. Built into the court system is an awareness that judges and juries are made up of humans who may do their best but who will necessarily disagree on the application of law or interpretation of facts and who are also, at times, subject to bias or errors. Thus, at both the state and federal level, there are avenues of appeal.
Our attorneys at Henchen & Oblak, LLP have successfully litigated over 20 appeals at the Vermont Supreme Court. Whether you worked with us on the original case or are seeking different representation for a case litigated by someone else, we will carefully review the facts of your case, the laws related to your case, and the content of the judgment on your case to provide you with advice on your options for appeal and a comprehensive appellate strategy moving forward.
