What is your primary product or service?
Family Law
When legal issues affect your family, working with an experienced attorney is the best way to make sure that things go smoothly. At Philpott Law, we use our years of experience to help people throughout central Florida, including DeLand, Daytona Beach and Sanford, make family law decisions that protect their interests and seek the best possible outcomes.
Dissolution of Marriage/Divorce
We represent people seeking divorces by offering knowledgeable and skilled legal counsel. We can help you understand the legal procedures involved in divorce, anticipate the decisions you may have to make and the possible outcomes that may come from those decisions. These include decisions about child custody and visitation, child support, alimony and the division of property and debts.
Time-Sharing and Child Support
At Philpott Law, we help clients resolve disputes over time-sharing and child support. We understand that these matters can be especially emotional, so our lawyers work closely with you to help you meet your goals in matters such as:
Time-sharing agreements/parenting plans
Child support
Our lawyers can help you determine the best time-sharing, also known as custody, arrangements, working with you to develop those that meet your scheduling needs and are in the best interests of your children. We also help you understand the factors the court considers when determining the amount of child support to be paid or received.
Modification of Court Orders
As time passes, things rarely stay the same. Existing court orders often need to be changed to match new needs and situations. At Philpott Law, we can help with modification of existing court orders, petitioning courts on behalf of our clients to have orders for child custody and visitation, child support, and alimony changed as the circumstances require.
Clients of our family law practice may also need the legal services of our criminal law attorney. Issues arising from domestic violence often spill over into the criminal arena. You may be charged with child endangerment or domestic abuse. In these situations, having the resources of our experienced criminal defense lawyer can be essential.
We welcome prospective clients and invite them to contact us for a free, no-obligation consultation about any family law matter.
Criminal Defense
When you have been accused of a crime, the decisions you make could be life-changing. At Philpott Law, our criminal defense lawyers are problem-centered and people-focused. When we represent a client who has been charged with a crime, we place great emphasis on making the decisions that are right for their individual situation.
Our DeLand, Florida, attorney is Danny Philpott, a former Volusia County prosecutor. Our experience both prosecuting and defending criminal law cases equips us to handle a full range of crimes.
Our Criminal Law Practice
Our criminal law attorneys assist people with the following:
Defense against felony and misdemeanor charges: Felonies are crimes generally punishable by more than one year in prison. Crimes that could be felonies include possession of certain drugs, burglary, grand theft, weapons offenses, sex crimes and aggravated battery. Misdemeanors are punishable by a year or less in county jail, not prison. Misdemeanors include driving on a suspended drivers license, domestic battery, petty theft, possession of marijuana under 20 grams and trespassing.
Violations of probation: Being accused of violating your probation (VOP) is serious. You could be re-arrested and jailed. It is important to have an attorney who understands the legal system thoroughly and can help determine your best course of action if you think you may be arrested for VOP. We advise people not to wait until they are arrested, but to be proactive and consult an attorney right away.
Record seals and expungements: Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to limit who can see your criminal record. An expunged record is essentially removed from the public view and most public agency searches, while a sealed record is concealed from public view but is available to law enforcement and other government agencies. In both instances, potential employers cannot see your record.

Civil law is an extremely broad area of law that deals in private rights. This can include rights under contracts, wills or employment agreements. Civil law also deals with claims based on the negligence of another, including claims for injuries sustained in auto accidents or slip-and-falls. Civil law also includes property rights, employment issues, defamation, landlord-tenant relationships and much more. Simply said, it covers just about everything that is noncriminal.

Did you know these things about contracts?
Not all agreements between parties have the legal status of being a contract.
Some contracts are not required to be in writing.
The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) governs contracts involving the sale of goods over $500.
There is a difference between a contract that promises to do an act in the future in exchange for another's promise to do an act in the future, and a contract that requires an act for an act.
Property. Property law is a division of civil law that encompasses a broad range of issues. Many firms specialize in specific areas of property law, such as foreclosures and bankruptcy. Property law sometimes involves issues of contract law (see above), such as a real estate contracts or leases. Our firm practices in the area of general property law and deals primarily in matters involving:
Landlord/Tenant
Quit-claim deeds
Quiet title actions
Adverse possession claims/defense
Declaration judgements
