Our Services
Estate Planning & Probate
Protecting yourself and your assets at any age can be a complicated process, but planning ahead provides peace of mind for both you and your family. Having an estate plan in place ensures your wishes are carried out after your death and allows you to designate someone to make financial and healthcare decisions for you when necessary.
We offer a wide range of estate planning services based upon your values, goals and interests, including wills and trusts, Powers of Attorney for financial and health care, and long-term care planning. We also offer legal services in probate administration and guardianships and are experienced in the courtroom when an issue cannot be resolved through planning alone.
Family Law
Every family is unique and working with a family law attorney helps resolve issues that easily become difficult, confusing and complicated.
Our team can help you understand all of the options available to you and develop the right strategy for your personal situation.
We are experienced in divorce and dissolution, child custody, child support, adoption, and juvenile law. All our attorneys are trained in negotiation, collaboration, mediation, and litigation. This comprehensive skill set enables us to negotiate on behalf of our clients to reach creative solutions if possible and advocate for our clients in the courtroom if necessary.
General Practice
Whether you’re managing your own business or preparing your family for the future, it’s important to have a team of advisors you can trust to help you navigate complex legal issues that may arise.
In addition to our estate planning and family law services, our team of attorneys is uniquely experienced to handle a variety of general legal issues for you, your family, or your business.
This includes real estate needs, business contracts, formations & dissolution, mediation, and guardianships. We will consult with other professionals, such as CPAs and financial advisors, at your request, to offer multi- disciplinary comprehensive solutions.
