Business Law One of the core areas of practice for the firm since its founding has been corporate and business law. We are engaged in all areas of business law for companies, including business formation and entity planning, purchase and sale of businesses, succession planning, contract and transactional matters and business disputes. Estate Planning Over the years our attorneys have developed successful strategies for estate planning. We provide the necessary advice to assist clients in determining the proper form that their estate planning should take, as well as the assistance in implementing that planning, including estate tax advice and planning. In this process, we prepare wills, revocable living trusts, and powers of attorney, as well as other documents. Our services also include more sophisticated estate planning such as irrevocable trusts, gifting programs, and charitable trusts. For clients with specific charitable intentions, we can also create private foundations. Probate and Trust Administration We represent clients in administering and settling a loved one’s estate or trust, whether or not we prepared the original documents. Several of our attorneys are experienced in trust contests, will contests, and beneficiary representation. We also assist clients in obtaining guardianships and conservatorships in Probate Court when needed. Family Law The issues involved with family law can be confusing and frightening. Our attorneys can provide legal counsel in all facets of family law, including divorce, separation, property division, child custody, child support, parenting time, antenuptial and postnuptial agreements. Real Estate Our attorneys assist clients in buying or selling commercial and residential real estate, as well as general real estate litigation and quiet title actions. General Civil Litigation We handle general civil litigation and business litigation, such as shareholder disputes, commercial litigation, collection actions, and construction lien actions. The firm has also assisted numerous clients with personal injury cases. Collaborative Network We routinely collaborate with other attorneys who practice in highly specialized legal areas and who can provide our clients with additional legal consultation.
