I represent and advise clients in the areas of:
Elder Law - As we get older, many of us are faced with difficult and important decisions regarding our healthcare and our financial well-being. Some people require the care of a nursing home but do not have the proper information in order to plan and prepare for the expenses of managed care or protect themselves from abuse and mismanagement. I can help you plan for both the present and the future through the use of: wills, trusts, powers of attorney, living wills, health care proxies, and Medicaid planning.
Estate Planning - My firm handles a variety of estate planning matters, including planning for the distribution of an individual's property at his or her death and taking into account wills, taxes, insurance, property, and trusts so as to gain the maximum benefit of all laws, while, at the same time, carrying out the person's wishes.
Probate & Estate Administration - Probate is the legal process by which a person's debts are paid and assets are distributed upon her or his death. Estate Administration includes the probate process as well as non-probate transfers of the deceased's assets. Individual state laws direct the probate court how to distribute the deceased's estate. State laws and procedures vary greatly, so, it is important to consult a firm with expertise in this area of the law to ensure that the deceased's assets are distributed correctly.
Personal Injury - I represent individuals involved in controversies alleging a wrong or damage to another's person, rights, reputation, or property resulting from events or activities such as automobile accidents, defective products, infliction of emotional distress, intentional misconduct, and negligence.
