Richard P. Busse, Attorney at Law Law Firm Overview
When clients come to my Valparaiso, Indiana, office in need of a lawyer, I, Richard P. Busse, Attorney at Law, realize that they are likely facing emotional and frustrating situations. Knowing this, I take the time to give each client personal attention to make sure that they feel comfortable with the representation I provide. By making this effort, I strive to try and keep what is already an anxiety-filled situation from becoming even more stressful on my clients.
In addition to helping my clients with divorce issues, when my clients need a lawyer I also help them with other areas of family law such as:
- Bankruptcy considerations for divorce
- Legal separations
- Uncontested divorces
- Property division
- Child custody and visitation
- Child support
- Spousal maintenance
- Child support and spousal maintenance modifications
- Paternity
- Adoption
- Guardianships
- Prenuptial agreements
I make a conscious effort not to overload myself with cases. This allows me to have the time to provide efficient and effective legal services to each one of my clients. As a lawyer, I believe it is my job to both represent and educate my clients so that they are well informed about their legal options. Richard P. Busse, Attorney at Law, has served the divorce and family law needs of Valparaiso, Indiana, area residents for more than 35 years.
