We help families and business owners plan for now and the future. This is done through estate planning and business planning. Our process is to educate clients about opportunities - and problems - they or their family may encounter down the road. Next, we help them identify their priorities and goals, and then develop a plan to accomplish those goals. This sometimes involves using advanced legal structures and techniques, but we keep the explanations straight forward and understandable. After all, a great plan isn’t that great if you don’t understand it. Quality planning that you understand is our goal. A sampling of the services we provide for clients include drafting Last Wills and Testaments, Trusts, Power of Attorneys, Healthcare Directives, and Living Wills. We also assist clients with setting up and running Limited Liability Companies for holding real estate.
