"What Every Family Law Attorney Needs to Know About Criminal Law" 

Unfortunately, sometimes clients going through a divorce or other family law crises wind up with a concurrent criminal case. A divorce attorney needs to understand the ramifications of criminal court orders and consequences to effectively give advice in cases where there may be competing and divergent interests at play.

You Will Learn

• Collateral issues for your clients, including 2nd amendment issues and how to react if your client is accused of sexual impropriety 
• What a Fernando A hearing is and why having one is critical to protecting your client's interests
• How the interplay between civil restraining orders, standing criminal restraining orders, and protective orders impact a client and case

Who Should Attend
