Practice areas

Family, estate, probate, and small-business law

Four closely connected areas, chosen because they so often meet in the same family. Choose the one closest to your situation, or ask us if you're not sure.


Areas of practice

  1. 01

    Family law

    When a family changes shape, the legal questions arrive all at once: the children, the house, the money, the timeline. We help you take them in order, protect what matters most, and reach arrangements that can hold.

    • Divorce and legal separation
    • Child custody and parenting plans
    • Child support and spousal support
    • Dividing property, retirement accounts, and debt

    Estate planning

    A good estate plan decides who looks after your children, who receives what you've built, and who speaks for you if you can't. We write plans in plain language, so you understand every page you sign.

    • Wills, including guardianship for minor children
    • Revocable living trusts
    • Durable powers of attorney
    • Healthcare directives and living wills

    Probate and estate administration

    Being named executor usually comes at the hardest possible time. We take you through each step: court filings, notices, debts, taxes, and finally distributing the estate, so the job gets done properly and you're not carrying it alone.

    • Opening probate and appointing an executor
    • Small-estate and simplified procedures
    • Inventory, appraisal, and notices to creditors
    • Paying debts and filing final tax returns

    Small-business law

    Most business disputes start with a missing agreement or a contract nobody read closely. We help owners set things up properly from the start and have someone to call before small questions turn into expensive ones.

    • Choosing and forming an LLC or corporation
    • Operating agreements and partnership agreements
    • Drafting and reviewing contracts
    • Commercial leases
