With the onset of COVID-19, we’re under a stay-at-home order but our lives have not stopped. For those who need a family attorney, you should not have to wait. When it comes to divorce, you need options now. We’ve been offering paperless, online solutions for divorce for years. Today, no matter where you live in Wisconsin, you can get divorced virtually with Derr and Villarreal. We can begin with your initial contact, consultation and retainer by email and phone. We continue through online video conferencing for sessions. We can get you through divorce without even meeting in person. We e-file paperwork. Hearings are by telephone. Here’s how we’ve changed the traditional process to make it available online.

Virtual Consultations & Retaining.

To get started with us and request a call, you can fill out this online form. We’ll email to setup a time to talk via phone or video conference. We can answer your questions via phone or email. When you’re ready to sign a retainer agreement or begin the mediation process, we collect all your documents and sign an agreement virtually with our confidential, encrypted client portal.

We’re Paperless.

Our files and workflows are already digital. D&V uses an entirely paperless filing system, which eliminates the back and forth of paper documents. You can sign documents through the client portal – so easy, you can even do it from your phone. Records including official documents, email records, dates and meeting notes, and other relevant information are archived in our encrypted online system. Our records, backed up on the cloud, are available even after the divorce if you ever lost your information.

Virtual Mediation Sessions

To maintain social distancing, we provide all steps of a legal divorce or mediation through virtual sessions. We’re not new to this. We’ve conducted many online mediations before when one or both spouses lived outside of Wisconsin. With COVID-19, courts have begun phone hearings for most cases. You can avoid in-person trips to the courthouse. This means your entire process can be done from the safety of your home.
