Legal Practice Areas
Bankruptcy
We simplify the intricate process of bankruptcy for you. Filing can halt creditor actions, protect assets, and prevent home foreclosures. However, it’s crucial to note obligations to “secured” creditors and non-dischargeable debts like child support.
Estate planning
We focus on estate planning, guiding clients in asset organization, care directives, and guardianship. With our expertise, we minimize tax concerns and aim to offer clarity and peace of mind for families.
Guardianship for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities
For those with developmental disabilities, we offer tailored guardianship support, aiding in decisions and financial management. Our guidance streamlines the guardian appointment, empowering families to prioritize their loved ones’ care confidently.
Debt Collection Defense Services
We’re here to navigate the challenges of creditor lawsuits with you. Facing threats like asset repossession or wage garnishment can be overwhelming. Remember, creditors can only act upon assets post a court judgment.
