Areas of Practice
Wills
You’ve spent a lifetime working hard, saving for the future. It’s your money signed, sealed and declared, right? Unfortunately, without a will, the state will decide who will receive your assets. Whether you need a simple will or something more involved, I can help you and your survivors probate your tangible personal property and administer your estate and your residuary estate.
power of attorney
Whether you are going out of state and need someone to handle your business dealings for a few weeks, or you are dealing with a long term illness, establishing a “power of attorney” can help ensure that your wishes are carried out in your best interest.
I can help you through this often confusing aspect of the law and give you the peace of mind you deserve.
Living wills
Advanced directives or “living wills” are instructions you specify for your family and your doctor about what kinds of medical care you want or do not want to receive if you become unable to make those decisions yourself.
I can assist you in preparing a “living will” that will give you a voice if you should ever become unable to speak for yourself.
Estate planning
I will help you in the planning and probate of your estate. Planning ahead is the key to a successful probate, but often unexpected problems arise along the way.
I am well-versed in the changing state tax laws and stay up to date with the latest information you need to help with the planning and probate of estates of all types and sizes.
Criminal Defense
Sometimes good people make bad choices that lead to devastating consequences. I have been providing solid defense strategies for people who find themselves on the wrong side of the law. I strive for the best possible outcomes for people who are involved in a variety of criminal situations including DUI, PFA, trespassing and others.
REAL ESTATE
Whether you are a first time home buyer or are refinancing a loan, I can help you with your title search, communications with your financing company or between the buyer and seller. I will walk you through the process from the time of application to your successful closing.
social security
If you become unable to work and wish to qualify for Social Security Disability benefits, I can help you navigate through the difficult application process. I have successfully obtained benefits for numerous clients with a variety of physical and mental disabilities.
