We are a general practice law firm, and can handle the legal concerns of any client who walks through our door. We handle cases such as:
Personal Injury
A personal injury can be caused by many different types of accidents or acts of negligence. A drastic change in an individual’s life is usually the result. We understand the physical and emotional difficulties our clients and their loved ones go through after sustaining a severe injury. We work with clients to obtain compensation for their loss.
Estate Planning and Probate
Many people put off making major life decisions, such as setting up a trust or drafting a will or health care directive until the last minute. We can help you take care of these decisions.
If you need to probate a will, we have the experience to help your family with property division and related issues. When you need to appoint someone to make medical care decisions on your behalf, we can draft temporary and durable powers of attorney. If the needs of minor children or incompetent adults need to be taken care of, a conservatorship can address the management of money and assets. A guardianship can resolve critical medical care and housing decisions.
Real Estate
One of the most important investments you will make is when you buy residential or commercial real estate. However, there are many potential risks to the property and your money. Hiring the services of an experienced real estate lawyer is a good investment. We can help you assess the risks, and minimize the stress involved when you are buying, selling, and leasing real estate.
Divorce and Family Law
Our firm assists individuals who are filing for divorce with filing divorce papers, child custody, child support, property division, debt allocation, alimony/spousal support, modifications, and other post decree issues.
Family law decisions are among the most important you’ll make in a lifetime. It’s important to be informed of all your options and to know and protect the rights of you and your children. From the outset you need to understand your options for child support, child custody, and visitation rights, and how to preserve assets, such as bank accounts, retirement accounts, and your home.
