Legal Services

Our firm's primary goal is to assist companies with hands-on and consistent legal advice, and we are able to deliver seamless consultation because we serve in a capacity similar to an in-house counsel. In doing so, we provide a critical component of a businesses' infrastructure for organizations who do not wish to expend resources on staff counsel.


We also provide a full entree of services to our clients, and this includes real estate, trust and estates (including probate litigation, estate planning and estate administration), and commercial litigation. We've created a multiplatform strategy based upon a single principal: deliver superlative, project-ownership service at a fair market price. Therefore, we offer our clients affordable legal solutions, and we focus on increasing value, rapid responsiveness, and consistent service with an eye always on the end game. Because we have a predictable billing model, it allows our clients to better gauge their expenses, so we are the ideal solution to your company's legal needs

ESTATE PLANNING

The estate planning subgroup's focus is to properly work with the client and their unique circumstances to formulate and customize a plan to preserve and devise their assets according to their wishes.  Members of the estate planning subgroup go that extra mile to listen and work with a client to accomplish his or her goals.  Each client is different and we specialize in advising and preparing the right plan for a client, be they a young couple just starting a family who want to assure that their child is protected if tragedy should strike, to an elderly couple looking to maximize and protect their estate from estate taxes so that they may transfer their hard earned assets to their loved ones.  Whatever the client's goals, the estate planning subgroup is skilled in drafting various trust and will provisions to accomplish them.

ADMINISTRATION

The estate administration subgroup specializes in assisting in the administration of a loved one's estate after their passing. The members of the estate administration subgroup are experienced in the intricacies of the Surrogate's Court where estates are administered and locating and transferring the decedent's assets to the proper beneficiaries.  We pride ourselves on not only being thorough and efficient, but also being available to the client to assist in this often difficult time.  The often tedious process of transferring a decedent's assets to the beneficiaries does not have to be a trying one and we specialize in demystifying this often byzantine process.  As a result we work hand in hand with the client from the initial steps of administering an estate through intestacy or probating a will through the final distribution to the heirs and accounting of the estate.
