OPLaw is a small firm dedicated to giving every client the personal attention their case deserves.  Some of the legal areas we handle for our clients are:

Criminal Defense, DUI, and Traffic Tickets

When the blue lights came on, your troubles started.  Let OPLaw help make sure that regardless of the seriousness of the crime you have been charged with that your rights are respected, not violated.  From traffic ticket appeals and DUI cases through serious felonies, OPLaw can take you step by step through your personalized criminal defense, including motion practice, trial, and even appeals to the Vermont Supreme Court.

Wills, Powers of Attorney, Estate Planning & Probate

No one can see the future, but OPLaw can help you be ready for all possibilities.  OPLaw makes it easy to plan for your future, so your children and loved ones don't have to stress.  From simple wills created at a reasonable flat rate price to complex trusts, living wills, medical and general powers of attorney, you can ensure that your wishes are respected... even if you aren't able to convey them.

Family Law

Divorce.  Alimony.  Child Support. Parent-Child Contact.  Family Law is often filled with intense emotions, which can hinder you negotiating the best possible outcome for you and your children.  Let OPLaw shoulder the burden of making sure your wishes are respected, whether in property division or child custody.  Or let us help you avoid long drawn-out litigation by drafting a pre-nuptial agreement.

Employment Law

Whether you are creating policies for the employees at your small business, or want to make your sure your employment contract meets your expectations, OPLaw is there to help.  We review employment contracts to make sure you receive what you bargained for, and nothing less.  We also can advise employers about hot button issues like sexual harassment policies, employee terminations, even drafting employee handbooks for businesses.  Let OPLaw take the stress out of legal issues and let you get back to running your business.

Landlord-Tenant Law

As a landlord, it's not unreasonable to want to get the rent paid on time, and have your tenants keep the rented space in good shape.  If you're a tenant, you deserve to have a rental that is habitable and a landlord who fixes problems when they happen.  OPLaw can stop many problems before they start, by carefully reviewing any lease contract before signing.  And we will vigorously assert your rights when a lease contract is violated.

Military Law

At OPLaw, we value the service and sacrifice our military folk give to our country.  So we want to give those who are presently serving or who have served the very best legal representation we can.  Whether its child custody or support issues during an oversea deployment, or a UCMJ issue, OPLaw is there for you.  Our office can handle everything from Article 15's or Article 32 hearings, special or general courts-martial, discharge boards, and even appeals.  If you or a family member are in the military or a veteran, contact us to determine if your particular legal matter related to your service is something we can assist you with.
