I offer a wide range of services to my individual and business clients. Because my firm is small, my clients benefit by getting personalized, quality service that is beyond compare. Below I have listed some of the services I offer my clients along with a brief description.
As the list below is by no means all-inclusive, please feel free to inquire about a service even if you do not see it listed. If I cannot provide the service, I would be more than happy to refer you to a qualified professional.
Estate Planning and Administration
Every adult should have, at a minimum, a Will, Power of Attorney, and Advanced Directivies for Healthcare. Having these documents in place ensures that your wishes will be carried out and reduces the worry of your family.
Now, more than ever, with nursing home costs on the rise, Estate Planning is not just for the rich. An effective Estate Plan can ensure that assets are protected for your spouse and children. It can create some certainty in the uncertainty that arises when pondering how your family will be taken care of. Your estate plan documents will include not only a will, but also a Medical Power of Attorney and Advanced Directives for Heathcare and other Powers of Attorney, as necessary.
Estate administration is a process that needs care and attention. I take the time when assisting with the administration of an estate to show the parties what they need to do and how to do it. My knowledge of accounting makes the process of gathering and reporting assets and the resulting distribution of assets and income moreefficient and less time consuming.
Business Succession Planning requires the effective coordination of the transition of your business to your successors. This is critical to ensure the continued success of the company once you decide to remove yourself from the company's day to day operations. With a solid background in tax and other financial matters, I am confident I can address the complex issues of business continuation and can assist you in developing a strategically sound plan.
Business and Corporate
Whether just starting a business or are a well established organization, companies and their owners often need legal representation to assist with their various transactions. A few issues I have experience assisting clients with include:
- Business Entity Formation and Liquidation
- Mergers and Acquisitions
- Buy-Sell Agreements
- Corporate agreements
- Corporate and LLC governance
- Business Purchase, Sale, and Reorganizations
- Employment Agreements
- Independent Contractor Agreements
- Commercial and Residential Leasing
- Various contractual arrangements and similar business solutions
Taxation
Issues and compliance in tax law can be a challenging experience for anybody. I prefer to take a proactive approach to tax law rather than a reactive one. By keeping current on new tax laws and legislation, I am in a position to identify key tax planning opportunities that minimize both your current and future tax liabilities. I provide my individual and business clients with the tax expertise and knowledge that they serve throughout the year.
- Tax Planning and Return Preparation for Individuals and Businesses
- Representation in front of taxing authorities and appropriate courts
- Representation in the buying and selling of businesses
Real Estate
Residential Real Estate:
A home is the single most expensive and important material investment one makes in their lives. Therefore, when providing representation to homebuyers, I keep your needs in mind and help you through the process so all you have to worry about is moving in to your new home.
Selling your home is often an awkward moment. You may be excited about moving into a new home, or moving out town. I assist you in all the details necessary to sell your home without worry.
Commercial Real Estate:
Often, when buying a business, real estate is involved in the transaction. Alternatively, you may invest in commercial real estate to lease to others or for your growing business. In either of these transactions, you need a representation that knows not only the law of transferring property rights, but knows how to evaluate the transaction and help structure it in the way that is most beneficial to you and your company from a civil and tax liability point of view.
