Legal Tip: Adoption by close family member

Adoption by a close family member does not require a home study if the child has lived in the home for three years.  This greatly reduces the cost and waiting time of an adoption.

As usual, every situation is unique.  Consult with an attorney to find out the full details.

Legal Tip: Finish Treating Before You Settle Your Personal Injury Claim

Make sure you are back to normal or as good as you're going to get before you settle your personal injury claim.  Once you accept a settlement, you cannot get additional money if you later discover you have additional injuries.

As usual, every situation is unique.  Talk with a Virginia attorney to determine the actual specifics of your case.
