Frequently Asked Questions About Tulsa Legal Matters
Family Law and Civil Litigation Questions
What matters does Mortazavi & Bennett handle?
The firm handles divorce, child custody, child support, emergency custody, protective orders, property and real estate disputes, personal injury litigation, and other contested civil matters. Whether the firm can accept a particular matter depends on the facts, parties, deadlines, court posture, and other case-specific considerations.
When should I call about a court matter?
Call promptly when papers have been served, a hearing is scheduled, an existing order is being disputed, evidence may be lost, or immediate court action may be requested. A website cannot evaluate a deadline or emergency. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.
What information should I identify before calling?
Useful information may include the names of the parties, court and case number, approaching dates, existing orders, a short chronology, and the documents central to the dispute. For family law, that may include prior orders, financial records, calendars, and communications. For civil matters, that may include contracts, deeds, photographs, reports, medical records, insurance correspondence, and filed pleadings.
Does every contested case go to trial?
No. Some matters resolve through direct negotiation, mediation, agreed orders, or another procedure. Others require temporary hearings, motions, evidentiary hearings, or trial. The appropriate path depends on the disputed issues, available evidence, procedural posture, and whether acceptable written terms can be reached.
Calling Mortazavi & Bennett About Representation
Does sending a website form create an attorney-client relationship?
No. Sending general information through the website does not create an attorney-client relationship, and the firm has not agreed to represent someone merely because a message was submitted. Do not send confidential or time-sensitive information through the form.
Can the firm predict a result?
No. Outcomes depend on the facts, evidence, applicable law, the positions of other parties, and decisions made during the proceeding. The website does not guarantee recovery, settlement, custody terms, emergency relief, or any other result.
