Throughout Ball Morse Lowe’s history, we’ve provided clients with the resources and solutions they are looking for, whether the case is in adoption, child custody, or another service area. We have extended our family law services to Kingfisher, and our dedication to our clients does not vary from location to location.
Some may assume that family law is entirely divorce or child custody cases, and while these matters are prominent services that we provide Kingfisher residents, they are not the only ones. Additionally, we have helped thousands of clients through adoption, protective orders, paternity, and even father’s rights.
We’ve included some descriptions for the family law services we provide to Kingfisher residents:
Adoption – Adopting a child can be one of the most rewarding events during your life, but like any family law case, it comes with its fair share of complications. These cases can be time-consuming and often emotionally draining. Our adoption attorneys specialize in providing solutions that allow your family to add a new family member.
Child Custody – Child custody battles can have their advantages, especially when both parents act in the best interest of the child. Typically, however, these battles can lead to stress since parents typically do not see eye to eye. If you are looking for guidance through this process, look no further than our accomplished family law attorneys.
Divorce – Divorce cases are never easy to navigate. Even at their best, you still have to lose 50% of all of the assets acquired during the marriage. Additionally, in many cases, you may have to go through a child custody battle if you are the parent of minor children. Our Kingfisher family law attorneys are here to help you and you through this difficult time.
Protective Orders – Protective orders are some of the most important services we provide, as these cases can save lives if done properly. These orders allow victims of abuse to prevent their abusers from attempting to contact them in any way. We understand that these cases must be taken very seriously, and our family law attorneys can help you through this difficult time.
Paternity – Paternity cases are extremely important family law cases, as they determine who a child’s father is, the father’s legal rights to custody, child support, and health insurance. Our family law attorneys are experienced in paternity, and we understand how important this process can be for a child and their father.
Father’s Rights – Working with paternity, father’s rights are used to establish the rights a father has to visitation with their children, if at all possible. Without a court order, these fathers may have difficulty visiting their children born out of wedlock. If you are looking to explore your rights as a father, contact our family law attorneys in Kingfisher today.
In the nuanced realm of Oklahoma family law, the right to appeal plays a pivotal role in ensuring justice and fairness in judicial decisions. An appeal provides a procedural recourse for parties who believe the trial court's decision in their family law case was marred by legal misjudgments, an abuse of judicial discretion, or an unsupported verdict. The spectrum of family law matters eligible for appeal is broad, encompassing several critical areas of familial relations and obligations.
Divorce Decisions – At the core of many family law appeals are disputes arising from marital dissolution. This category covers contested decisions regarding asset distribution, spousal support, and other essential components of the divorce decree. Parties may seek an appeal if they believe these decisions were based on legal errors or factual misinterpretations.
Child Custody and Visitation – Children's well-being is paramount in family law, extending to custody and visitation rulings. Appeals often challenge trial court decisions, arguing inadequate consideration of the child's best interests or incorrect application of legal standards.
Child Support – Another critical area involves the calculation of child support payments. Appellants may argue trial courts deviated from guidelines without justification or based decisions on inaccurate financial evidence assessments.
Adoption – The adoption process is complex, and decisions regarding parental rights termination or adoption finalization can be appealed. Such appeals often contend that trial courts overlooked crucial evidence or failed to adhere to the legal standards governing the adoption process.
Paternity – Disputes over paternity may lead to appeals from contested determinations with significant custody, visitation, and child support implications, challenging the legal and procedural basis of the trial court's findings.
Protective Orders – Decisions on protective orders issuance, denial, or terms in domestic violence or harassment situations fall within the appellate purview. These appeals often argue that the trial court's decision was inconsistent with the protective aims of the law or failed to consider relevant evidence.
Enforcement and Modification Orders – Orders enforcing or modifying family law judgments—whether related to custody, visitation, child support, or alimony—can be subjects of appeals. These appeals often assert that the trial court ignored new evidence, made erroneous findings, or misapplied the law in its decision-making process.
Each of these areas underscores the critical role of appellate review in upholding justice and legal correctness in family law matters. Given the complexity and strict procedural rules governing appeals, parties considering this legal recourse should seek counsel from skilled attorneys with expertise in Oklahoma family law appeals. Such professional guidance is indispensable in navigating the appellate process, articulating legal arguments with precision, and advocating effectively for desired outcomes.
Estate planning is our service that some people neglect entirely. While these individuals believe they do not have to create an estate plan or are simply not aware of how to properly plan your estate, we understand the confusion, and it is not necessarily a requirement to create an estate plan before your passing. However, if you do not create an estate plan that avoids probate, you leave your family to do so on their own.
Estate Planning – Creating an estate plan can be one of the best gifts you can give your family before your passing. With a proper estate plan in place, you can avoid probate and distribute your assets amongst your beneficiaries without difficulty. Our estate planning attorneys are here to help Kingfisher residents with any estate plan. Contact us today!
Elder Law – Elder law works with estate plans, as it is designed to educate seniors on how to properly handle their finances during the second half of life. While estate plans are important, they are only a small part of the elder law process. If you or a loved one is seeking more information on elder law, please contact one of our esteemed estate planning professionals today!
Probate – Probate is a time-consuming and public ordeal. On top of that, it is entirely avoidable with the proper estate plan in place. Even with certain estate plans, such as wills, you are still required to go through probate. We understand these cases cannot always be avoided, and our estate planning attorneys can help you and your family through this difficult time.
Wills and Trusts – Ball Morse Lowe provides clients with information regarding multiple different estate plans, and wills and trusts are some of the most important tools we provide. Wills are used to determine your beneficiaries and assets. You can even select a guardian for your children with a will. A trust, however, can determine your beneficiaries and assets, but they also can entirely avoid probate. If you are looking to create a will or a trust, contact our esteemed estate planning professionals today!
Cohabitation Agreements – If you and your partner are looking for an additional layer of financial security without the commitment associated with standard marriages, cohabitation agreements may be the right choice for you. These agreements can be broken at any time by one or both individuals. If you and your partner are looking for a cohabitation agreement, contact our estate planning attorneys today.
Business law matters can be confusing for those pursuing their company’s first legal case. However, with the proper education on your required service and the assistance of a business law attorney, you can approach your first case with ease. If you seek any of the services listed below, contact our offices today!
Business Litigation – Business litigation cases can be extremely complicated, and it may seem like it is impossible to fully understand these cases. However, with the help of a business law attorney, you can navigate these situations no matter which side of the business litigation case you are on. Contact our business law attorneys today if you are seeking counsel for a business litigation matter.
Entity Formation – Creating a company from the ground up or buying the rights to another company can be exciting, but there is a great deal of information you must learn before doing this process on your own. If you are seeking to create a business or purchase another, our business law attorneys can help educate you on this experience and guide you through the process.
Succession Planning – Following years of success within your company, you may be considering retirement. However, if you are looking to retire, you must also select a successor to replace you as the owner of the company. This process can be daunting, but our business law attorneys can guide you through this detailed process.
Acquisitions – No matter if you are the buyer or seller in an acquisition, our business law attorneys can help you through either process. Acquisitions require the seller to negotiate a price, while the buyer must file all necessary paperwork. Contact our business law attorneys today to explore your acquisition options!
Mergers and Divestitures – Mergers are used to combine multiple companies into one large business, while divestitures are used when a company wishes to rid themselves of certain assets by exchanging, closing, or selling. Both of these options are important for certain companies, and our business law attorneys are determined to find out which is right for you and your business.
Enlisting a criminal defense attorney in Oklahoma offers a profound advantage. These experienced professionals combine empathy, specialized expertise, and a deep understanding of the complex legal landscape. They handle the intricate nuances of criminal law, empathize with your situation, and provide tailored strategies based on their extensive knowledge of Oklahoma's laws, court procedures, and defense tactics. They assess your case's strengths and weaknesses, navigate the legal system, and negotiate with prosecutors to potentially secure reduced charges or alternative sentencing options, minimizing the impact of criminal accusations on your life. With their support, you have legal representation and a dedicated ally who protects your rights, offers invaluable guidance, and wholeheartedly pursues a favorable outcome.
Criminal Expungement – Individuals with a criminal record often seek a fresh start. A criminal expungement in Kingfisher offers this opportunity by hiding or sealing prior records from public view. This means parties such as landlords and employers won't see your record during background checks.
It's important to note that a criminal expungement is not a pardon and requires court involvement. Working with a reputable Kingfisher law firm like Ball Morse Lowe increases your chances of success in this process. While eligibility varies, tailored advice from our attorneys ensures the best possible outcome. Contact us today at 405.701.5355 or email clientintake@bml.law for personalized assistance.

These accidents can provide the victims with compensation if this matter is taken to court properly. We understand this process can be hard to navigate, but if you or a loved one is seeking a personal injury lawsuit, contact our Kingfisher attorneys at Ball Morse Lowe.
Power of Attorney – Powers of attorney are used in many different ways, such as finance or health care. They can be used to grant a trusted individual (an agent) to act on behalf of an incapacitated individual.

I cannot thank Karen Pearson and her team enough for all the support they've shown me throughout my unfortunate divorce. With all the twists and turns thrown at my situation both in my personal life, but also my military career. This team always made me feel as though my case took priority. I will forever be grateful for them and highly recommend either of them to represent you as you drudge through your specific situation. Thank you again to Ball Morse Lowe team for everything you did on my behalf.

I have worked with Senior Attorney, Chris Michael, multiple times and he continues to exceed expectations. If you are looking for a group of hard working, time efficient, diligent, and ethical attorneys, Ball Morse Lowe, PLLC and specifically Chris Michael would be a great choice.
I felt like I mattered. I felt like what I had to say was important. Glenn was thoughtful, encouraging and understanding. She helped me navigate the process and validated my thoughts about things I was not sure. Thank you Glenn!!! It was great working with you!
I turned to Ball Morse Lowe PLCC when I needed my mother's estate probated in Oklahoma. It involved mineral rights and I live in California and my mother had not lived in OK for over 60 years. I wanted a firm that would do this correctly and be reasonable in cost. Brian Hill was a pleasure to work with. He and his staff were professional, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They made the experience of probate painless, explained things as we went along, and were clear in their expectation of what they would need from me to move the process forward. I am so glad I found them and appreciate deeply all they accomplished on my behalf.
