PERSONAL INJURY
If you have been injured due to the negligence of others - such as automobile accidents or slip and fall cases - we will get you compensation for medical services, lost wages, and other expenses.
We will advise you at every step of the litigation process, including evaluating the case, consideration of settlement offers, the discovery process, and preparing for trial. Contingent fee arrangements are available for those clients with qualified cases.
PROBATE & ESTATE ADMINISTRATION
We handle all aspects of Probate and Estate Administration of decedent’s estates. Probate is the legal process by which a person’s Will is allowed by the Probate Court. Estate Administration includes the probate process as well as non-probate transfers of the deceased’s assets (such as ​Life Insurance, Annuities, Retirement Funds and Trust Assets), and compliance with applicable estate tax requirements.
We assist the Executor or Administrator of the estate in the gathering, valuation, accounting, and distribution of the decedent’s assets. We also represent clients in the Probate Court for matters involving Conservatorships, Guardianships, and Change of Name.
ESTATE PLANNING
