I wasnt able to use him but he did give me some good advice and pointed me into the right direction and he told me what kind of attorney i would need to pursue my case.He's got a funny sense of humor wish i could have used him.

Bill did a great job with my case! He was very attentive to my needs as a client and had a clear vision of the key elements of my case and the best way to present them to the judge. Val, the associate attorney, is amazing! The way she writes court documents in such a clear and concise manner focusing on what the judge would like to see is brilliant and she was always willing to put in the extra work for my case. I give Bill and his team my highest recommendation and I’m so thankful to have them by my side.

Bill Fuhrman handled a child custody issue for me. He was very patient with me even though I was very emotional at times. His sense of humor helped me put things into perspective and deal with the situation more methodically, with integrity, and a well thought out plan. Bill has plenty of experience with family law matters and was very helpful in achieving my desired outcome.

One word quickly comes to mind when I think of Mr. Fuhrman….integrity. He is an honest, hard-working, knowledgable and well-respected man. Going through a divorce is a very painful process and by having the support of him and his staff, I never lost hope. Unlike most attorneys, Bill is quick to return e-mails and phone calls. As busy as this man is, I never felt unimportant. My divorce was ugly and messy but with Bill's direction it was completed in an efficient and timely manner. I have referred more than half a dozen people to Bill in just a two year span and he has never not lived up to or exceeded their expectations. What I came away believing after working with Bill and his associate attorney, Michele Vallat (who is beyond incredible) is justice does prevail.

Questions & Answers

During a DUI investigation, is it better to refuse to take a breath test than to blow?

Renzo Morales | Aug 25, 2020
Law Office of William R Fuhrman | Aug 25, 2020

IT IS BEST TO DECLINE A BREATH TEST AND INSTEAD REQUEST A BLOOD TEST. CALIFORNIA LAW REQUIRES SUSPENSION OF A DRIVER’S LICENSE IF A RIVER REFUSES A BAC TEST.

What are the penalties for a DUI?

Renzo Morales | Aug 25, 2020
Law Office of William R Fuhrman | Aug 25, 2020

FOR A 1ST DUI CONVICTION, CALIFORNIA LAW REQUIRES 3 TO 5 YEARS INFORMAL PROBATION, COMPLETION OF A 3 TO 9 MONTH DUI EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM, A FINE WITH PENALTY ASSESSMENTS OF BETWEEN $1500 AND $2000 AND A COUPLE OTHER CONDITIONS.

What steps should I take?

Renzo Morales | Aug 25, 2020
Law Office of William R Fuhrman | Aug 25, 2020

IF THERE IS A WRITTEN CONTRACT, I WOULD FIRST READ THE TERMS OF THE WRITTEN CONTRACT TO DETERMINE WHETHER IT FIRST REQUIRES MEDIATION OR ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES. IF NOT PREVIOUSLY DONE, I WOULD MAKE A WRITTEN DEMAND FOR CURING THE BREACH. FAILING THAT, I WOULD FILE A LAWSUIT.

Will I avoid or lessen my personal liability by incorporating?

Renzo Morales | Aug 25, 2020
Law Office of William R Fuhrman | Aug 25, 2020

YES. My business partner breached our contract.

Why should I consider incorporating?

Renzo Morales | Aug 25, 2020
Law Office of William R Fuhrman | Aug 25, 2020

PRINCIPAL REASONS TO INCORPORATE ARE TO LIMIT LIABILITY, TO ALLOCATE INTERESTS IN THE BUSINESS AMONG-ST TWO OR MORE PERSONS, AND FOR TAX PLANNING.

Are postnuptial agreements legally binding?

Renzo Morales | Aug 25, 2020
Law Office of William R Fuhrman | Aug 25, 2020

IF DONE PROPERLY, THEY ARE BINDING.

If I create a prenuptial agreement, will I avoid litigation in the event of a divorce?

Renzo Morales | Aug 25, 2020
Law Office of William R Fuhrman | Aug 25, 2020

IF PROPERLY CREATED, THIS AGREEMENT WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUES IDENTIFIED IN THE AGREEMENT, SUCH AS THE DIVISION OF PROPERTY AND SPOUSAL SUPPORT. BUT COURT ACTION IS NECESSARY TO OBTAIN THE ACTUAL JUDGMENT OF DISSOLUTION OF MARRIAGE. FURTHER, THIS AGREEMENT CANNOT AND DOES NOT ADDRESS CHILD CUSTODY, PARENTING AND CHILD SUPPORT ISSUES . . . THAT IS FOR THE PARTIES TO AGREE IN A WRITTEN “MARITAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT,” OR TO SUBMIT TO THE COURT FOR DECISION.

What happens to retirement funds and 401(k) plans in a divorce?

Renzo Morales | Aug 25, 2020
Law Office of William R Fuhrman | Aug 25, 2020

THE PORTION EARNED BETWEEN DATE OF MARRIAGE AND DATE OF SEPARATION IS COMMUNITY PROPERTY TO BE EQUALLY DIVIDED WITH A SEPARATE DOCUMENT CALLED A QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDER (QDRO). THE REMAINDER IS THE SEPARATE PROPERTY OF THE PARTY WHO EARNED IT.

What is the difference between legal separation and divorce in California?

Renzo Morales | Aug 25, 2020
Law Office of William R Fuhrman | Aug 25, 2020

THE ONLY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IS THAT A JUDGMENT OF LEGAL SEPARATION LEAVES THE PARTIES MARRIED AND THEREFORE THEY CANNOT REMARRY UNTIL AND ONLY IF THEY OBTAIN A JUDGMENT OF DISSOLUTION OF MARRIAGE.

Which spouse moves out of the home after a divorce is started?

Renzo Morales | Aug 25, 2020
Law Office of William R Fuhrman | Aug 25, 2020

A PARTY CAN BE ORDERED TO VACATE THE HOME IF THE OTHER PARTY REQUESTS IT OF THE JUDGE AND THE JUDGE FINDS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OR THREATS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. OTHERWISE, EITHER SPOUSE MAY VACATE BUT DOING SO WILL OFTEN CREATE A PREDISPOSITION FOR A JUDGE TO AWARD THE HOME TO THE SPOUSE WHO REMAINS IF (S)HE CAN AFFORD TO BUYOUT THE INTEREST OF THE SPOUSE WHO VACATED. IF NOT, THE HOUSE WILL BE ORDERED SOLD AND THE NET PROCEEDS DIVIDED.
