Criminal Defense
While you do have the right to represent yourself, it is not recommended. A skilled advocate can make the difference between acquittals, probation, or prison. When you are facing the possibility of jail time and a permanent criminal record, it is often in your best interest to seek representation from a criminal defense attorney.

Wills, Estate Planning, and Probate
It's never too early to plan for the future! Planning for your own death or the death of a loved one can be a difficult topic to raise and stressful process to begin. However, planning ahead can prevent the emotional toll of a loss from being compounded by the sudden need to confront unforeseen financial and legal issues. We offer services in document drafting and estate planning so that, when the time comes, your wishes can be legally recognized. These services include drafting a Last Will & Testament, a Living Will, a Power of Attorney, and an Appointment of Healthcare Representative. We can also assist in business succession and charitable gift planning, as well as the establishment of guardianships or trusts.
When a loved one passes away, there can be a potentially complex legal process for establishing the validity of a will and appointing someone to oversee the estate of the deceased. Debts like medical bills and taxes may need to be paid, and the deceased person's property and assets will be disbursed to the people who will inherit them. Depending on the nature of the estate and the assets involved, this process can be very complicated and time-consuming to navigate without the assistance of an experienced attorney.

Mediation
Mediation is not neighbor or marriage counseling, nor is it a way to file a lawsuit. The goal of mediation is for both sides of a dispute to arrive at an agreement they can accept. To form this agreement, a mediator acts as the communication link between both sides through informal and confidential discussions. A mediator is not a judge and does not offer legal advice. Instead, they help parties come to favorable decisions on their own. Dillon Legal Group offers services by a registered Civil and Domestic Relations mediator.
By hiring a civil mediation attorney from our law firm, you can air out your frustrations to an unbiased party. After hearing both sides of the dispute, our civil mediation attorney can help you resolve the problem once and for all.
If you are seeking a divorce in Franklin, IN or the surrounding area, the court might order you to attempt case resolution with a mediator before you will be able to get a trial date. By communicating through a domestic relations mediator, both parties can have more control over the end result. Our domestic relations mediation attorney can help negotiate mutually agreeable terms for both sides rather than risk having a court impose less favorable ones.
Business Law
No matter how big or small, businesses need a partner to help guide them through the legal system. Clients seeking business law services have a variety of needs that Dillon Legal Group is prepared to meet. From establishing your business to assisting you with contracts, we are prepared to protect your interests. If you are starting a new business or looking to grow an existing one, we can advise you during the process of incorporation, obtaining regulatory approvals, or leasing facilities. Should disputes arise, we can help you resolve them through litigation or mediation. Afterword, in the event you are owed compensation we can assist as you pursue collections.
During the operation of your business, we can use our knowledge to help you protect your assets, safeguard the financial stability of your business, and avoid litigation. We offer consultation to ensure compliance with employment law and the regulatory environment your business faces. We can assist you in implementing strategies to identify risks, limit liability exposure, and proactively avoid disputes.
