Family Law and Divorce (Military & Civilian)

Divorce is emotionally draining, especially when children are involved. The decisions you make at this time can have long-term effects on your emotional and financial well-being. At such a time, you need compassionate and competent advice to protect your legal and financial rights.

With the law office of Ray Hogge & Associates, P.L.C., in Norfolk, Virginia, I represent men and women in divorce and separation matters and all of the issues that subsequently arise. The bulk of my practice centers on the legal effect of divorce. I handle divorce and separation agreements, custody, support and visitation disputes. I have significant divorce trial experience. I have worked with military personnel and understand the unique factors involved in a military divorce.

My estate planning practice covers a broad spectrum of clients and services. I counsel clients on the benefits of wills or trusts and the tax advantages of different trusts. I draft wills, trusts and general and medical powers of attorney. I prepare living wills for persons who do not want their lives sustained by artificial means. I also draw up pre-nuptial and other marital agreements that impact estate planning.

Long-Term Disability under ERISA

If you have a long-term disability policy through your employer and have been denied a claim, I can help you. I have worked with clients in the submission of claims under ERISA and also handled appeals from denials of claims, representing clients in hearing with insurance carriers and in the federal courts. If you need to file a claim under your employer's long-term disability policy or have been denied a claim, contact me to see if you qualify for a free initial consultation.
