We help entrepreneurs start and build their business on a solid foundation for long-term success. The long-term success of a business often depends on precise and clear agreements that have significant personal, family, tax and financial implications on every individual involved in a business. In that light, we have extensive experience providing advice and services related to the creation, operation, sale and/or dissolution of corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies. We provide succession and strategic tax planning for individuals and businesses regarding the formation, operation, and disposition of businesses or business assets.
Business Law
Estate Planning and Trusts
We provide estate and trust planning services which include the preparation of wills, trusts, powers of attorneys, designations of guardians and advanced directives with thorough consideration of relevant family, financial and tax issues. We have extensive experience in Medicaid planning and litigating probate disputes that makes us particularly well suited to formulate effective estate planning strategies.
Probate Estate / Trust Administration
After a person dies, we assist their family and friends in winding up the decedent’s personal affairs and fulfilling their last wishes in the most efficient manner. Often a decedent’s estate has to be subjected to a court-supervised process referred to as “Probate” governed by complicated rules and procedures that have to be strictly followed and which necessitate the preparation, filing (and serving) of formal documents and, often, attendance at formal hearings held by the Probate Court Judge. Even if formal “Probate” is not necessary, in order to wind up a decedent’s affairs, there is a specific “process” formulated by the law that typically applies. That processoften involves notifying the decedent’s heirs, beneficiaries (and creditors) the person died and, after satisfying qualifying claims of creditors, inventorying, valuing and then selling or distributing the decedent’s property and assets (often including cash/bank accounts, vehicles/boats, real estate/home, jewelry, household furnishings, antiques, tools and business interests) in accordance with the decedent’s will or trust.
Real Estate Law
We represent buyers, sellers, lenders and real estate brokers and agents in the purchase and sale of real estate, whether developed or undeveloped, commercial or residential. We also represent parties relative to: (i) land contract matters (including purchases, forfeitures, foreclosures and deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure); (ii) disputes involving the ownership, construction and/or improvement of real estate (including contract disputes, quiet title actions, liens, adverse possession, eminent domain, restrictive covenants and zoning); and, (iii) landlord/tenant disputes.
Our goal is to help resolve your matter fairly and, if necessary, fight to ensure that you’re compensated for any losses. We represent local landlords and property owners (both residential and commercial) in disputes related to evictions, security deposits, and more. We will provide you with the aggressive representation you need to quickly resolve the situation.
Family Law (Divorce, Custody, Support)
We represent parties going through divorce (with extensive experience in property settlement, retirement benefits, custody, parenting time, child support and spousal support.) We know that family law issues such as divorce and child custody are some of the most traumatic and emotional times. We work with you and with one another to successfully resolve your family law matter. You will be principally involved in the decision making and strategy.
