We confidently handle cases in the areas listed below. Contact our office today to schedule an appointment with one of our exceptional attorneys.

Family Law

Legal issues involving your family must be handled as efficiently and as sensitively as possible. Our lawyers are dedicated to helping family law clients and we approach these cases with a sympathetic demeanor. Though we are capable of aggressively fighting for you in court, many family law cases are best served out of court through means of alternative dispute resolution such as mediation and settlement. We have handled many cases through mediation (as advocates and as mediator).  The types of family law cases that we pursue on behalf of our clients include:

• Divorce
• Spousal support (maintenance or alimony)
• Paternity
• Child support
• Child custody
• Modifications of standing orders
• Name changes
• Prenuptial or Premarital agreements
• Legal separation
• Parenting time (visitation)

Accident and  Injury Cases

In an instant, an accident can leave you injured, in pain, and out of work. We help injured individuals and their families understand their legal rights and options regarding serious personal injury matters. We handle most personal injury cases on a contingency basis. There is no attorney fee charged unless we obtain a recovery for you. Auto accidents, motorcycle accidents, trucking accidents, slip and falls, and wrongful death are the main types of cases our firm handles within this area of the law. We also handle worker’s compensation cases where an individual has experienced a workplace accident resulting in a severe injury.

Commercial and Business Law

Many types of cases fall under the category of commercial law. Our attorneys represent clients facing legal issues, including mortgage foreclosures, mechanic’s liens, contract disputes, and collections. Our firm also handles adversary proceedings regarding bankruptcy non-dischargability claims.

Estate Planning

Planning for your future is of the utmost importance. Our lawyers can help you determine your  goals and assist you in developing an estate plan that honors your wishes and protects your family after your death. Establishing an estate plan helps you have some control over how your assets are distributed and what type of medical care you receive in the event you cannot communicate these wishes yourself. We strive to help clients create comprehensive estate plans, including assistance with the following matters:

• Wills
• Trusts (including minors trusts, special needs trusts, and living trusts)
• Powers of attorney
• Guardianships
• Long term care planning
• Probate
• Estate administration
• Elder law
• Medicaid and Nursing Home planning
• Living wills
• Appointment of Healthcare Representatives

Small Business Representation

We represent small business owners in a number of issues that may affect their business’ future, including business formations (including incorporations, Limited Liability Partnerships or LLPs, and Limited Liability Companies or LLCs), drafting contracts, non-compete agreements, employment contracts, and buy / sell agreements. Our lawyers also have experience representing a number of  not-for-profit corporations. Our firm also handles a range of other legal matters, including civil litigation and civil appeals at the state and federal levels.
