Family Law Representation

We provide legal help to clients who are considering divorce through litigation. We also understand the complex issues relating to divorce, such as:

• Child Custody and Visitation Rights - focusing on different custody arrangements.
• Child Support - figuring out child support calculations and how they can be modified.
• Parentage/Paternity - determining the biological relationship a father has to a child.
• Prenuptial Agreements - for couples who want to safeguard their personal assets before marriage.

Estate and Probate Attorneys

One of the most difficult situations families may need experienced legal guidance on is with estate planning, which is the process of designating beneficiaries to receive assets in the event of someone's death. Our attorneys are considerate of our clients' needs, and we can provide legal assistance with all estate planning matters, including:

• Powers of Attorney - deciding who will make health care and financial decisions should you become incapacitated or disabled.
• Probate and Trust - figuring out the validity of a will, how debts will get paid, and how titles, bank accounts, and valuable assets will be transferred to designated beneficiaries.
• Contested Estates - settling disputes over unfair compensation to beneficiaries that may have been left out of a will.
• Guardianships - designating legal guardians to take care of dependents.
• Estate Tax Planning - reducing estate taxes through "gifting" and other methods.

Business Law Services

Sometimes our clients need help with starting a business or leaving one. Since we have worked with major corporations and organizations for the past four decades, we can assist clients with employment contracts, dissolution of a business, and business litigation. We also assist with the buying and selling of a business, which includes asset sales and stock sales, and we help clients figure out which business entity is right for them.

Real Estate and Construction Law Attorneys

Our attorneys help individuals and business owners with all types of real estate transactions, and we can handle various complex construction law issues such as:

• Residential Real Estate - providing representation for home buyers and sellers throughout the closing process.
• Commercial Real Estate - assisting property owners and developers with property transactions, construction contracts, zoning issues, 1031 exchanges, and more.
• Commercial Leasing - ensuring that companies understand their rights and address legal and financial concerns when leasing space to operate a business.
• Landlord Representation - helping landlords negotiate lease terms and address concerns related to past-due rent, property damage, and evictions.
