MY EXPERIENCE

PERSONAL INJURY

I have extensive experience representing people who have been injured by someone else, such as wrongful deaths, all types of motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, defective products and all other negligent and intentional misconduct. I will assist my clients in receiving the maximum possible compensation for their injuries, lost wages and other damages.

PROBATE

Probate is the legal process by which a will is proved to be valid and decedents’ debts are paid and assets distributed after they die. Estate administration includes the probate process as well as non-probate transfers of the decedents’ assets, liquidating his or her liabilities, paying necessary taxes (if any) and distributing property to heirs. State laws direct the probate court how to distribute the decedent’s estate, so it is important to consult a firm with expertise in this area of the law.

ESTATE PLANNING/WILLS

My firm offers a variety of services for people who wish to plan in advance for the distribution of property upon their death, including wills, trusts and powers of attorney, so that their property goes to the persons or charities that they wish and their heirs pay the minimum possible tax. We handle the following in addition: probate, wills, trusts, and find top notch referrals for the other areas we do not handle.

FAMILY LAW

Our clients consider us their family’s law firm and refer all manner of legal problem to us.  I have extensive experience in family law and represent clients in the following areas:

  • Divorce
  • Step-Parent Adoption
  • Temporary Orders
  • Mediation
  • Modifications and Judgement Enforcement

Defending the rights of people arrested and accused of criminal offenses. Handling all types of criminal cases, including minor infractions, misdemeanors and the most serious felony indictments.
