o Attorney Small has handled litigation matters throughout his over 30-year career for both individual and business clients, both plaintiffs and defendants, in a wide variety of matters. He currently offers neutral case evaluation for in-house and outside counsel seeking an objective, second opinion to spot issues while they can still be corrected and thereby avoid the loss of credibility with boards, judges or juries. o Attorney Small also offers a flat-fee counseling option on discrete matters, such as when employers are contemplating a termination decision, individuals are evaluating estate planning options or when small business owners are weighing the potential costs and benefits of potential litigation. o Further, Attorney Small is available to assist with estate planning and Medicaid qualification needs, including Last Wills, Living Wills, Revocable Trust, Durable Power of Attorneys, Life Estate Real Estate Deeds, and Medicaid Qualification Lifetime Personal Services Contracts.
