Estate Planning and Probate

We handle estate planning matters, which is the area dealing with how an individual's property will be distributed at his or her death, taking into account wills, taxes, insurance, property, and trusts. We focus on creating individualized estate plans to gain maximum benefit of all laws and, at the same time, carrying out the person's wishes. We also assist families with family partnerships and the transfer of assets and property. Our estate planning practice also includes planning for business successions. We will work with you to plan for, preserve, and protect your estate, while you continue providing for your loved ones.

We also navigate clients through probate and estate administration. Probate is the court proceeding through which a will is proved to be valid and the estate of a decedent is administered. The process generally includes collecting a decedent's assets, liquidating liabilities, paying necessary taxes, and distributing property to heirs.

Tax Planning and Litigation

We represent individuals and corporations in matters with tax implications by identifying and addressing state and federal tax issues, structuring transactions to minimize tax burdens and avoid inherent tax problems.

We also provide aggressive defense in tax litigation.

Business and Commercial Law

Whether you are starting your own business, buying or selling an existing business, or expanding your business, partnering with an experienced business attorney is another step toward your success. We will work with you on business formation and choosing the proper corporate entity, drafting and filing articles of incorporation, forming partnerships, contract review, negotiation, and drafting, property leasing, employment issues, and tax planning.

Real Estate

Our real estate practice is dedicated to helping you achieve your goals for your cherished property. Whether you are buying or selling, we will negotiate favorable terms and execute your transaction properly the first time. We work with individuals and businesses on purchase, sale, lease, and development of residential and commercial property.
