Divorce isn't merely a legal transaction. It's a rollercoaster of emotions, a labyrinth of decisions, and a journey that demands more than just a guide — it requires a companion. Enter The Law Office of Rick D. Banks, a leading divorce attorney service in Fresno. Our empathetic and comprehensive approach transcends traditional legal representation. We provide solutions tailor-made to your unique needs and ensure that you are heard, supported, and understood throughout the journey.
At The Law Office of Rick D. Banks, we weave empathy into our legal expertise. Divorce can be a painful and confusing process, and we understand the emotional toll it can take. Our team ensures that you're not just another case number — you are a person undergoing a major life change. And we're here to help you through it.
Trust is the bedrock of all relationships, especially one that is as intimate and sensitive as a divorce proceeding. Our attorneys are dedicated to forging this trust from the very first interaction, ensuring that you're continuously in the loop and that your best interests are always safeguarded.
Wading through a sea of legal jargon can be intimidating. Our attorneys are adept at translating these complex terms into simple language, ensuring you're fully aware of your rights and responsibilities.
Fresno's unique divorce laws can have a significant bearing on your case. Our team's extensive understanding of these local regulations and rulings help strategize effectively for a successful outcome.
Walking into the unknown can be nerve-wracking. Our initial consultation is designed to ease your anxieties. We take this opportunity to understand your situation, answer your questions, and discuss potential strategies.
To maximize your initial consultation, gather all relevant documentation, such as financial records and custody arrangements. Prepare a list of questions you might have. Remember, this is your time — make it count.
The first step in any divorce is filing a petition. This document outlines the grounds for divorce and the proposed division of assets, liabilities, and custodial responsibilities. We'll help you draft a compelling petition, protecting your interests immediately.
Receiving a divorce petition can be overwhelming. We'll guide you in crafting a robust response, ensuring your rights are preserved.
Negotiations form the crux of most divorce proceedings. Our attorneys excel in negotiating equitable settlements and child custody arrangements, always keeping your best interests in mind.
In the event that an agreement can't be reached, a divorce trial may be inevitable. Our team has extensive courtroom experience and will advocate relentlessly on your behalf. Once a verdict is reached, we'll guide you through the final steps of finalizing your divorce.
Dividing marital property is often contentious. Our attorneys will help you understand your rights, assist in property valuation, and negotiate a fair division.
Alimony and child support can be thorny issues. We'll explain the law, help determine an appropriate amount, and ensure your children's wellbeing is prioritized.
After the dust settles, the emotional impact of divorce can hit hard. Beyond legal services, we also provide references to counseling services to help you navigate your new normal.
Life post-divorce comes with its own set of legal implications. We'll guide you through changing your name, revising your will, and dealing with tax implications, ensuring you're legally protected moving forward.
High-asset divorces bring unique challenges. We have the expertise to handle complex asset divisions, businesses, real estate, and retirement funds, among others.
In cases involving domestic violence, your safety is our utmost priority. We'll work with local resources to ensure your protection and will fight tirelessly to bring you justice.
Divorces involving spouses from different countries or international assets can be complicated. Our team is well-versed in international law and will help you navigate this tricky terrain.
We're proud of the work we do, but don't take our word for it. Hear from our satisfied clients who have found peace, resolution, and justice with our help.
“I was referred to Mr. Banks from a co-worker who had used him recently. At first I was a little concerned because he seemed like too much of a nice guy to be an effective divorce attorney. I was pleasantly surprised when we went into court and Mr. Banks ripped my ex a new one!! Not only was I able to get full custody of my kids, but Mr. Banks convinced the judge that my ex should only get supervised visits because of how he had been acting. Bottom line: don't be worried about Mr. Banks' easy going demeanor when you first meet him, because if you have to go to court, he's the guy you want on your side.” Jamie Jennison, Fresno

They know the ends and outs of divorce and will guide you through no matter how complicated things get. They know the process - trust that.” Rhonda J.
