“One thing that sets our firm apart from other domestic law firms in town is
that we quickly make time for your initial consultation and your
office appointments, and we are prompt with returning your phone calls and
emails. Communication with you and the opposing law firm is vital to increasing your
chances of success,” Brandon says. “We do it.”
As past president of both the New Hanover County Bar Association and the Fifth
Judicial District Bar, Brandon Tise has the experience required to handle the serious
and emotional issues surrounding the practice of Domestic Law. Brandon has practiced
in Wilmington since graduating Wake Forest School of Law in 1986. His focus is
important issues of child custody, child support, property settlement and alimony.
“These decisions are often life changing and should be decided carefully and
thoughtfully, not made in haste or based largely on raw emotion,” says Brandon, who
has owned his own downtown Wilmington practice since 1988. Brandon is also proud
of his experienced staff: Tricia K. Tise, office manager and paralegal, who has her
MBA from the University of North Carolina Wilmington; Richard A. Squires, legal
assistant, who is also a licensed attorney in the state of New York; and Keri Bolenbaugh,
paralegal, a recent graduate of UNC Charlotte. Tricia, Rick and Keri are very important
to the success of the firm and are very dedicated to helping clients through their cases.
“Our main goal is protecting your rights,” Brandon says. “Let us begin helping
you today.”

pruning & trimming
trees & shrubs
Some general guidelines for pruning:
All spring bloomers like forsythia,
lilac, azaleas, dogwoods, camellias
should be pruned after they finish
blooming, as severely as desired.
Better to thin than shear, so their
natural shapes can shine. Be sure
to finish this spring pruning no
later than July Fourth because
next year’s flower buds will be set
on summer’s new growth.
Summer bloomers like crape
myrtle, summer spireas, Rose of
Sharon, hydrangeas (except the
blue/pink macrophyllas) should
be pruned in late winter. These
varieties bloom off of the new
growth produced this spring.
Pruning clematis, hydrangeas and
roses varies on their pruning rules
even by variety or type. Often,
the reason plants don’t bloom is
because they were pruned at the
wrong time of year.
Non-blooming plants — deciduous
or evergreen — offer a lot more
leeway. You can prune almost
anytime. But like anything else,
remember, there are exceptions to
the general rules of pruning. When
in doubt, check before you cut.
