Margaret M. Hayes Attorney at Law - Bristol, Connecticut Family Law Attorney

Practice Area Overview

Helping Families Resolve All Legal Problems

Few legal matters are confined to one practice area. If you are getting divorced, you may need to evaluate your finances to avoid bankruptcy. If you are getting re-married, you should update your existing will or draft one to reflect your current situation. Because legal matters often overlap, it is important to work with an attorney who can understand every element of the case.

At the law office of Margaret Hayes, that is exactly what we do. Margaret is a family attorney who is committed to helping families with whatever legal matters they need. Major decisions need to be made correctly the first time, and we can help you do that. Waiting too long (or never bothering) to find legal counsel can turn a manageable legal situation into an impossible obstacle.

We are here to give clients throughout Bristol, Connecticut, the cost-effective representation they need in all legal matters, including:

  • Family law: We assist clients with all divorce and non-divorce family law matters. This includes alimony, prenuptial agreements, and valuating and dividing assets.
  • Divorce: Going through divorce is rarely an inexpensive endeavor. We offer clients the zealous representation they need without draining all their savings in the process.
  • Child custody and support: We work with mothers and fathers to help them receive fair custody of their children. If you situation has changed since your original child custody or support arrangements, we can also help you modify your arrangements.
  • Estate planning and probate: We help clients draft will, trusts and advance healthcare directives that carefully explain their wishes. Creating a full estate plan can help ensure your needs are met, even if you are unable to communicate them.
  • Real estate: It is important to have any real estate contracts reviewed prior to signing. We can guide you through the process from the very beginning, preferably before you have signed anything.
