CPA can help with divorce division of valuable retirement assets
On behalf of Robertson, Oswalt, Nony & Associates | Jul 27, 2016 | Firm News, High Asset Divorce

On behalf of Robertson, Oswalt, Nony & Associates | Jul 22, 2016 | Debt Relief, Firm News
Identity theft is becoming a good deal more common. It's not supposed to be easy to pull off in Arkansas, but it happens. In many ways, it's something of a race between the ne'er-do-wells committing the theft and consumers playing catch-up. The struggle to protect...

The police stopped me. Was it legal?
On behalf of Robertson, Oswalt, Nony & Associates | Jul 14, 2016 | Firm News
Nobody likes to be pulled over or stopped by the police. It's not that we don't expect it never to happen. It's just meant to be rare. In Little Rock and all across Arkansas, the rule of law dictates that police can't use their authority arbitrarily to target...
Legalized same-sex marriage hasn’t ended all family law issues
On behalf of Robertson, Oswalt, Nony & Associates | Jul 13, 2016 | Child Custody, Firm News
It was only last year that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that marriage is marriage and that states can't restrict same-sex couples from entering into such legal contracts. Whether you live in Arkansas or some other state, the law of the land now is that same-sex...

On behalf of Robertson, Oswalt, Nony & Associates | Jul 7, 2016 | Firm News, High Asset Divorce
