Family Law

Family law issues are personal by nature. Successfully dissecting and resolving the various complex layers of these issues requires attorneys who not only are knowledgeable of state law and its nuances, but who also understand the impact a potential case outcome will have on your future. The decisions made in emotional cases involving divorce, child custody, alimony/maintenance, and the division of property will affect many aspects of your life. With this in mind, we serve as your advocate, making sure to handle your specific needs and to make sure your voice is heard in court. Family cases can involve passionate positions and claims. At The Joshua Wilson Law Firm, we bring passion into the courtroom and strive to bring favorable results out of the courtroom.

Divorce

Choosing the right attorney is already a difficult task. Doing so with the additional pressure of divorce can make this decision overwhelming. In one of the most stressful and vulnerable times of your life, you need an attorney who you can rely on to help you overcome the difficulties in this process, and put this event behind you.

Child Custody

Divorce, or separation will change everything about your family, including the time you spend with your children. In child custody cases, the primary goal is to make this transition smooth for your children, in order to make life seem as "normal" as possible. When representing you, we hope to be instrumental in the court's decision to choose an arrangement that is in the best interest of your child.

Child Support

In even the most amicable separations, child support can be a truly touchy issue between parents. In these cases, it's important that your parental rights are asserted to the court. At our firm, we have a comprehensive understanding the child support laws in Missouri.

Criminal Defense

Being accused of committing a crime can be scary for anyone, but especially if it is your first offense. If convicted, you may not only face potential jail or prison time but also steep fines and other penalties. It also means you end up with a criminal record. You could lose your right to vote and to own a firearm.

A conviction of a crime can have a negative impact on the quality of your life outside of the penalties you receive. This is why it is so important to fight any criminal charge. At The Joshua Wilson Law Firm, we are committed to defending you so you have a fighting chance for a second chance.

Traffic Violations

These may seem trivial, but if you don't want traffic violations and their points to add up on your driving record, you need an experienced traffic lawyer to represent you. Whether it was a DUI/DWI, speeding, or aggressive driving charge, The Joshua Wilson Law Firm can help you fight the charges and clear your record.

Misdemeanor Charges

Getting a misdemeanor charge dismissed or reduced is your best option especially if you want to avoid enhanced penalties in the event you are charged and convicted of other crimes in the future. Misdemeanor charges, like possession of marijuana or sexual misconduct, may seem trivial,  but they can have serious long-term impacts on your future.

Felony Charges

Felony charges in Missouri are very serious and carry serious consequences such as longer prison sentences and very steep fines. You could also lose your right to vote and own a firearm. Felony charges include assault, kidnapping, robbery, and distributing a manufactured substance, to name a few. If you are facing a felony charge, you need The Joshua Wilson Law Firm by your side to fight the charges and set your record straight.
