| LEGAL SERVICES FOR BUSINESS AND INDIVIDUALS At various stages of your business and personal life you will require legal advice on both business and personal matters. Often, in small businesses, both business and personal matters are intertwined.
Proper estate planning will assist in resolving issues that may be of concern to individuals and assist in equitably settling business and personal estates.
We are aware, also, of the cost, both in resources and emotions, in litigation. We not only represent clients on active litigation matters, we also consult in order to avoid legal confrontations resulting in expensive law suits.
"THE PERSONAL LAW OFFICE" We provide personal, sensitive and ethical legal services to our clients. The first consultation is free. Many clients just wish to explore legal issues without committing themselves financially.
The purpose of the first consultation is to review client matters and advise as to options that the client may have.
We also understand that legal matters may cause stress and worry. We aim to reduce your concerns by speaking and writing in plain English, cutting through legal jargon and keeping you well informed at all times.
We strive to provide clients with a full range of quality services at a fair value. Clients can depend upon us to be responsive to their needs and to exercise independent professional judgment on their behalf. AREAS OF PRACTICE Estate Planning

Trusts are important tools, one of which may assist in avoiding probate. In order to have some control over the distribution of your estate you should consult with an attorney. Real Estate
