Our Purpose

What We Do

  • Our attorneys provide legal support and guidance to clients, assisting them in their efforts to resolve matters around these two primary questions.

  • Our probate attorneys provide legal counsel and representation to individuals, families, and entities facing or considering matters in the probate court system involving deceased individuals, or individuals in need of fiduciary or court support.

  • Real Property is often found to be one of the largest, and most common, assets of many estates.  Whether it’s a person’s primary residence, vacation home, or rental/investment property, real property (or real estate) is a common denominator among individuals, families, organizations, or other entities.  A well-trained Real Property attorney can assist individuals with real estate interests in many ways, such as Real Estate Closings (for buyers, sellers, title companies, realtors, or government entities).
