Services
In the current environment of upside down mortgages and low-paying jobs, bankruptcies are more common than ever.
If you find yourself in this situation, you are not alone.
The word "bankruptcy" no longer carries the stigma or blow to the ego it once did, since so many people are affected.
Chances are one of your neighbors is going through it right now.
Unfortunately for some, bankruptcy law itself has changed dramatically, making it harder to walk away from creditors.
The thought of filing bankruptcy may be overwhelming, but delaying resolution of the problem will only make bills mount higher.

The first step in forming any business should be to pour an industrial-strength legal foundation.
Making perceptive decisions early can save the business thousands, if not millions of dollars in the long run.
Should it be a LLC?
A partnership?
A sole proprietorship?
A Corporation? Do new rules apply as the company grows?
What accounting rules should apply?
What is the responsibility of corporate officers?
What's different about retail vs. service businesses?
The list goes on.
Some of these are basic business questions the client has already answered, but it's comforting to have counsel from someone who not only can help set the business on a solid footing, but who has witnessed the adverse consequences encountered by businesses owners who didn't follow sound legal practices.

Civil litigation is used to resolve disputes between individuals, companies and organizations where one of the parties feels they should be awarded compensation.
Typical examples might include an auto accident, all types of contracts, deeds and claims, real estate, construction and malpractice.
Civil litigation is almost by definition an adversarial process.
If you find yourself embroiled in a dispute but don't feel comfortable with conflict, then the obvious stress-reliever is to involve an experienced attorney-someone who is capable of dispassionately putting forth your case.

A good plan can help preserve the value of an estate, circumvent or minimize intervention by the court and lower the stress of loved ones who are already trying to cope with loss.
Stories abound of tax debacles whereby heirs receive a pittance of the estate's total value.
That's a shame, because such situations are almost completely avoidable.
A good estate plan is all about forethought: taking into account tax implications of various financial agreements, deciding who you want to benefit from the estate and making a thorough, current assessment of the estate itself.

The word probate seems to engender a visceral reaction from some people.
Indeed, entire books are written on how to avoid it.
Probate is simply the activity generated when the court supervises the disbursement of an estate.
Of course, once the courts are involved, reams of paperwork ensue and expenses grow.
These expenses are not insignificant, but sometimes an even more important issue is the delay the courts can inject in the process.
A trust is a tool you can use to manage your assets while you are alive and after you die, and it bypasses court intervention.
