WLF is a family-focused boutique law firm founded to help parents and small business owners organize their affairs, in style, to protect their investments and provide for their loved ones. Our services are organized into reasonable, flat-fee packages to serve the needs of every family and small business. This allows everyone to prioritize putting a legal plan into place before it is too late--leaving themselves, their children, and their businesses in a precarious, emotional, and expensive situation.
If a family or small business owner cannot afford the package fee, our firm also provides reduced rate and pro bono services based on income and asset qualification.
In addition, we promise to be your trusted counsel for life to ensure that the family and small business plans we help you put in place, which will prove invaluable in the present, are kept up-to-date to account for the evolutionary nature of everyone's life--from growing bank accounts and market fluctuations, a move, a new job, birth of a new child, death of a loved one, health concerns, changing nature of friendships, and everything else that fluctuates and changes on a daily basis.

There are multiple ways to protect your assets.
While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, there are a number of options that should be implemented.
