We understand the physical pain and emotional suffering individuals experience following an accident and make ourselves available to our clients for their questions and concerns.

FAMILY LAW | DIVORCE | CUSTODY | VISITATION | SUPPORT
Our firm has a tremendous dedication to Domestic law and offers resources and experience which we are confident provide our clients unmatched service. While we are knowledgeable of the laws of Divorce, Custody, Visitation and Support, we also understand that the issues facing our clients may stem from the most traumatic events of their lives and require our compassion and willingness to listen as we seek to understand and advise. We also make clear to our clients that even though we are always anxious to remove the tension and animosity that often accompany these situations by amicably resolving issues where possible, we are also ready, willing and able to aggressively litigate issues which are unable to be settled. We refuse, however, to purposely place children in the center of these conflicts and seek to minimize the effect of these situations on the children involved.

WILLS, TRUSTS AND ESTATES
Our firm has the knowledge and experience to assist our clients with the issues many of us don’t like to consider. Most individuals understand the importance of having a Will and know generally the prudence of Trusts for their children in the event of an untimely death of a parent, but the questions stemming from those basic ideas can be overwhelming: Who will serve as Executor of my estate; Who will care for my children once we pass; How can we insure the funds from our estate will be safe and go to our children; When will the funds from my estate be disbursed; Can I control the timing of the disbursements? We also discuss with our clients the importance of planning ahead with Powers of Attorney, Medical Powers of Attorney and Advance Medical Directives. Our goal is to provide you with a sound estate plan which affords you the confidence and security that your legacy has been secured and your children have been protected. In addition, if you recently lost a loved one and find yourself in charge of taking care of his or her estate, we can assist you through the estate administration process. Although probate can seem daunting, we can help guide you at each step, from the initial meeting with the Probate Clerk through filing the final accounting. We will work for you to make things as easy as possible during what can be a very difficult time in a person’s life.
