Estate Pla​nning

Your estate includes everything you own at the time of your death—from vehicles and real estate to personal belongings. Have you thought about what will happen to your assets when you pass? It’s crucial to ensure your estate planning documents are up to date, organized, and carefully considered to avoid confusion among your family members and loved ones.


In addition to traditional estate planning services, we also offer guidance on prenuptial and postnuptial agreements to help you and your spouse plan for the future. These agreements can provide financial clarity, protect individual assets, and ensure peace of mind, both during the marriage and in the event of divorce or separation.


We offer representation for both simple and complex estate planning needs. Our goal is to provide you with the information and tools to create a plan that works for you and your family. We’ll guide you on how to preserve your wealth, protect your heirs’ inheritance, fund education, and more. Whether you’re planning for your future or your spouse’s, we can help you create an agreement that fits your unique needs.

Probate

Probate is the legal process that takes place after someone passes away. It involves gathering the decedent’s assets, notifying creditors, paying debts and taxes, and distributing what remains to the heirs. While probate can seem straightforward, it often involves detailed paperwork, deadlines, and legal complexities that can be overwhelming for executors and administrators.


We assist executors, administrators, and families through all stages of probate, ensuring that the estate is managed properly and efficiently. Whether it's handling a contested will, paying off debts, or guiding beneficiaries through the distribution of assets, we’re here to help you navigate the process with ease and confidence. Our goal is to relieve the burden during a challenging time, making sure the estate is administered in accordance with the decedent’s wishes and the law.

Real Estate Transactions

Real estate transactions involve more than just the exchange of property—they represent significant financial and personal decisions. Whether buying, selling, leasing, or developing property, navigating these complex transactions requires expert legal guidance. Our team specializes in ensuring your real estate deals are legally sound, efficient, and aligned with your goals.


We provide tailored legal services for drafting and reviewing contracts, conducting due diligence, negotiating leases, and securing financing. With a focus on minimizing risk and maximizing opportunity, we guide you through every step, from initial agreement to final closing, making sure your investment is protected.

Municipal Law

Municipal law governs the legal framework within which local governments operate, addressing everything from zoning regulations to public policy enforcement. It involves the intricate balance of authority between local municipalities, state, and federal entities, and impacts everything from urban planning to local governance. Navigating these legal landscapes requires in-depth knowledge of government procedures and the ability to advocate effectively for your interests.


We assist in regulatory compliance, land use planning, zoning disputes, and public contracting, ensuring your projects and initiatives align with local ordinances and legal requirements. Our team works to simplify the complexities of municipal law, providing practical solutions that facilitate community development while safeguarding your rights.

Corporate Law

Corporate law governs the formation, operation, and dissolution of businesses, providing the legal framework for everything from structuring companies to managing shareholder relationships. Whether you're establishing a new corporation, navigating mergers and acquisitions, or ensuring compliance with complex regulatory requirements, corporate law is essential to the success and growth of your business.


We specialize in advising clients on various business structures, including corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), partnerships, and joint ventures. Our team assists in drafting and reviewing foundational documents like Articles of Incorporation, Operating Agreements, and shareholder agreements, ensuring your company is set up to minimize liability, optimize tax benefits, and achieve long-term goals. Additionally, we offer comprehensive contract drafting services tailored to your business needs, including commercial contracts, vendor agreements, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), and employment contracts. We ensure that all your contracts are clear, enforceable, and aligned with your business objectives. We also guide you through governance issues, compliance with federal and state laws, and corporate transactions, helping your business thrive in a dynamic legal environment.
