— Hargrove Law Practice Areas

Four practice areas. Named attorneys. Real outcomes.

Every case at Hargrove Law is handled by a specific attorney with a verifiable track record in that area. You know who represents you before you sign anything.

/ What we handle

In-depth on each area of law

• Family Law

Divorce, custody, and support — handled straight

Diane Hargrove handles every family case personally. She maps your custody and asset position in the first meeting — no vague timelines, no billed discovery calls before you understand where you stand.

Cases handled: contested divorce, child custody modifications, spousal support disputes, protective orders, and post-decree enforcement across three counties.

• Criminal Defense

Your charges explained, your options laid out

James Rourke has appeared before every judge in the circuit. He tells you the realistic range of outcomes at your first call — not after three paid consultations.

Cases handled: DUI and traffic offenses, felony and misdemeanor charges, drug possession and distribution, assault, and expungement petitions.

• Personal Injury

What your claim is worth — and why

Sofia Medina calculates liability and damages before advising whether to settle or litigate. You get a number and a reason, not a promise to fight hard.

Cases handled: auto accidents, premises liability, workplace injuries, product liability, and wrongful death claims.

• Business Law

Contracts and disputes without the mystery

Carter Wells works with small-to-mid-size businesses and explains every clause in plain terms. If a contract exposes you, you hear that clearly before you sign.

Cases handled: business formation, contract drafting and review, partnership disputes, non-compete enforcement, and commercial litigation.

What you walk away with

A clear position after meeting one

One named attorney, start to finish

Local court knowledge that shifts outcomes

Your attorney states your legal position in plain terms at the first meeting — the realistic range of outcomes, the process ahead, and the cost to get there.

No hand-offs to junior staff mid-case. The attorney you meet is the attorney who files, argues, and negotiates on your behalf through resolution.

Hargrove attorneys practice in the same three counties, know the local procedural preferences, and use that knowledge to move your case efficiently.
