You need an estate plan so you direct who manages your assets and where your assets go at death.  We design estate plans that “fit” your situation, and we give advice on how to title your assets to meet your goals.  We offer a range of options, including wills, a variety of trusts and methods to avoid both probate and trust administration. We also draft powers of attorney and patient advocate designations to avoid guardianship and/or conservatorship proceedings in probate court.

If you or a loved-one have special needs, and qualify for means-tested governments benefits, our attorneys can assist you with the creation of a special needs trust to supplement – not supplant – those benefits and provide a better quality of life for that individual.

We handle all aspects of guardianships and conservatorships – whether it is for a loved one who is developmentally disabled or legally incapacitated OR if you do not agree with a guardianship or conservatorship someone is trying to establish over you. Our attorneys are experienced with handling family disputes regarding these sensitive situations.

We assist with advice and documentation to create business entities, entity management, and the merger, sale, dissolution or planning to pass ownership to the next generation.  While your entity is up and running, our experienced attorneys can assist with decisions and issues regarding contracts, business disputes, employment matters, leases, real property matters and other topics.

Employment termination is a very stressful and often surprising event. Our attorneys can review the facts of your termination to determine whether any state or federal laws were violated. We can negotiate severance agreements were appropriate, and we can provide counsel regarding unemployment benefits. We also assist employers with implementing good employment practices from setting up personnel files to drafting employee manuals to providing a defense if an employee initiates administrative proceedings (EEOC) or files a lawsuit.

Churches need but don’t often have governance documents, employee/HR policies, child protection policies and general overall guidance to ensure that it is protected and operating according to legal standards. Our attorneys have the unique knowledge necessary to assist churches or other religious organizations with all aspects of operation.

The passing of a loved one is a stressful. Families often wonder whether the estate planning documents truly express their family members wishes, or families do not agree with how an estate is being handled. Our experienced attorneys handle such disputes by both mediation and litigation.
