OUR SERVICES

Probate

When you  are left with a death in the family and need to maneuver probate or related issues- we are ready to meet and provide guidance on the options and the required process. You then make the informed choices with our help every step of the way.

Personal Injury

After an injury producing accident- whether in a car or on someone’s premises, the questions and stress can be enormous. We will thoroughly explain your rights, the process and offer assistance then or months later. The timing and steps taken to pursue a claim are your choices – always.

Wills, Trusts, Estate Planning

We have extensive experience representing individuals and families in matters involving estate planning, wills and trusts.  We take the time to understand your individual situation, goals, and desires so your precise wishes are met in regards to managing and protecting assets during your life and arranging for passing assets to later generations through your estate.

Real Estate

Whether buying or selling, we offer advice and services for most anyone needing legal assistance or a review of the  different aspects of ownership and potential property transfers.

Small Business Services

Deciding to enter into your own business is intimidating. We will distill the facts and legal options, and if warranted, create the entity you need. From that point you will have our legal guidance at every step as needed, even termination of the business when the time may come.

Mediation

Alternate resolution of disputes, other than through litigation and trials, is an extremely efficient and satisfying process. We have successfully mediated dozens of cases as a court appointed or private mediator. An agreed method to solve disputes is available and produces successful results in a large proportion of cases.

Social Security

We have reviewed and evaluated Social Security Disability cases for more than 43 years. If you cannot work for medically documented reasons, we can often assist when you need to take your claim to the hearing level. There is never a fee unless we take the case and are successful at the hearing.
