Our Services

Divorce

Divorce is a life altering transition. To achieve the best possible outcome you must make a plan. Your divorce plan is specific to your goals and priorities. We will explore what obstacles are before you and anticipate the best way to conquer those obstacles. With a realistic, goal oriented plan, your divorce becomes less intimating, and is your path to your new life.

Domestic Violence

If you are the victim of domestic violence, or if you have been accused of domestic violence, it is critical that you retain an experienced attorney. The ramifications of domestic violence actions are life-altering and require in-depth experience to achieve the best possible results.

Criminal Defense

If charged with a crime, say nothing to nobody, call us first. Our firm has represented clients in all types of misdemeanors and felonies, including sex crimes, felony drug possession, assault, burglary and drinking and driving offenses. We are here to help.

Bankruptcy

The strategic advantage of bankruptcy is that it eliminates some property liens and puts an immediate stop to harassing collection calls. To better understand the different options you have in bankruptcy, how it works, and why it may or may not be a good choice for you, it is important to talk to a bankruptcy attorney.

Trusts & Estates

Planning for what happens WHEN you die is doing those you love a incredible favor. Your last wishes. If you have young children, you must designate a guardian and set up a trust, or if you are diagnosed with dementia you must plan each step from losing independence to death. We can assist you with making a plan that ensures your last wishes and will help those you leave behind. We can help.

Personal Injury

We work with personal injury clients and will walk you through the process – from securing documents, to what a PIP claim is and how to file, to helping you with medical care recommendations and more.

Alimony

Alimony or spousal support can be awarded to either spouse while the divorce is pending or after the divorce is finalized, and has the purpose of helping the spouse maintain a decent standard of living throughout the process.

Our Process

Initial Consultation

We start by discussing your situation, goals, and concerns. This first meeting is typically held in person in our office but can be done online or over the phone. In this meeting we want to learn about you and assess your situation.

Make a Plan

Prioritizing your goals and objectives and advising you on aspects of your matter is the next step. During this time, we have an open and honest dialogue to make the best decisions possible and we develop a plan that works for you.

Implement the Plan

After we know what we are doing and have a plan of action, we begin to move forward to implement the plan. We will always provide advice and help to guide you through the process, even as things change… which they often do.
