Get A Legal Champion In Your Corner
How much does a lawyer cost?
Some cases may vary depending on the circumstances and a retainer or flat fee will be quoted to you during the free case evaluation where rates can be explained. Retainers & Flat Fees
I have a case, but it is not in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Can You Still Help Me?
Yes. We are licensed to practice anywhere in South Dakota, but practice primarily in southeastern South Dakota.
Once I retain a lawyer, what happens next?
When we get retained, we file a notice of appearance to the opposing side (whether that be the government or your ex in divorce) and it gets filed with the court, so they know you have counsel. We then proceed with preparing your case and that means meeting with you and putting together our strategy.
How fast can I get divorced?
In South Dakota, a judge can sign the Judgment and Decree of Divorce 61 days after the service of the summons and complaint.
How long will my case take?
An idea of how long your case will take can sometimes be given to you at the case evaluation. At times the legal system moves very slow and there are forces out of our control for the answer to this, but at Griese Law Firm, P.C., we are respectful of your time and keep the case moving a long from our end.
