Estate Planning and Probate

An estate plan can range from a simple last will and testament to a more complex family limited partnership that deals with business succession planning.

After you are gone, your family needs to have an understanding of the probate and trust administration process. We will serve as advisers to personal representatives or trustees. We can advise you about disputes and concerns that arise during the settling of estate plans, conservatorships/guardianships, or will contests.

Business Formation and Litigation

Our firm will guide your business through the requirements of business formation, educating you about the variety of business entities available for you to select. We counsel you about the tax, liability, and business consequences of each type of business formation.

After your business begins, our firm will serve as your general business counsel, advising you about all matters related to your business ventures, contracts, and partnerships. Should you become involved in a business dispute, our firm will represent you during arbitration, mediation, and business litigation.

Nonprofit Organizations and Church Law

We counsel religious institutions, charitable organizations, and nonprofit organizations from the formation process to dissolution, if necessary. Nonprofit organizations must adhere to both federal and state laws to maintain their nonprofit tax-exempt status. Our firm will advise churches and nonprofits about daily operational issues, governance concerns, and reporting requirements. We also represent religious organizations in church law and civil litigation.

Personal Injury: Our firm also represents people injured in a serious car, truck, or motorcycle accident.
