Since our firm's beginning in 1984, Oldham & Deitering, LLC has helped individuals solve their problems both in and out of the courtroom.

We put our client's needs first, seek the very best solutions for them, and advocate in their interests.

Our Team:
At Oldham & Deitering, LLC, we only have employees who truly care for you and your case. From our dedicated support staff to our accessible attorneys, it is our goal to represent you with the utmost ethical standards and offer common sense approaches to your legal issues.

Our Primary Practice Areas:
Bankruptcy & Consumer Matters
A financial crisis can happen for many reasons. You may have lost your job. Perhaps you have extensive medical bills from an illness or you were recently divorced. Countless problems can put you behind on your bills, leaving you overwhelmed and unsure what to do. In many situations, bankruptcy can give you a chance for a new start.
Our goal is to provide you with prompt solutions to your financial problems so that you can find the relief that you need. We handle both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies. We will strive to help you get crippling debt off your shoulders.
We can assist with a foreclosure, repossession, garnishment, IRS debt, credit card debt, fair debt collection, and fair credit reporting.

Family & Juvenile Law
We provide legal assistance to clients in the areas of separation, dissolution, divorce, child custody and support, domestic violence, spousal support, equitable property division, adoptions, and post-decree motions.

Our dedication to this area of law springs from a desire to use our legal skills, experience and compassion in a way that we can most effectively help our clients. It goes without saying that any issues surrounding the dissolution of a relationship, no matter the length, are emotionally charged and effect all parties involved, particularly children. It is our experience that taking an assertive, yet dignified stance in these matters produces not only the best results for our clients, but also for the family as a whole. Family laws can seem confusing, overwhelming, and impersonal. We take the time to explain the legal process to our clients and understand their concerns.

Estates & Trusts
Our firm helps clients of all ages develop estate plans that suit their needs. We work with our clients to make sure their intentions are carried out and efficiently administer Probate Estates and Trusts for families, easing stress during highly emotional times.
We offer a wide range of services: Estate Planning, including wills, trusts, and asset flow. We can create and administer several trusts from revocable and irrevocable including special needs trusts. Also, we offer disability planning, including health care powers of attorney, financial powers of attorney, living wills and guardianships.
