Practice areas
A general practice, built on experience
Civil Litigation & Appeals
From a demand letter through petition, settlement negotiation, and — if needed — bench or jury trial and appeal. We handle disputes involving personal injury, real estate, bankruptcy, probate, contracts, family law, and business matters.
Personal Injury
We represent people injured by the actions of others, and the estates and survivors in wrongful death claims. Initial consultations for these matters are free, and contingent fee arrangements are available.
Real Estate
Purchases and sales, title examination and closings, zoning, site plans, platting and subdivisions, condominium regimes, and residential and commercial leases.
Probate & Estate Planning
Settling a loved one's affairs after death, wills and trusts, and decision-making arrangements for minors or people impaired by illness or disability — planned to minimize estate, gift, inheritance, and income taxes.
Elder Law
Living wills, powers of attorney, guardianships, conservatorships, and trusts, plus guidance on paying for assisted living or nursing care through long-term care insurance or Medicaid/Title 19.
Commercial Transactions & Business Entities
Buying, selling, and leasing businesses and commercial property, choosing the right entity — partnership, LLC, or corporation — and preparing the documents to form it.
Family Law
Adoption, paternity, separation, and dissolution of marriage, along with related custody and support matters.
