Our lawyers and staff understand that some issues in family law can be very emotionally charged, such as custody and visitation, and we try hard to be supportive of our clients while addressing their legal issues. We work with the client to develop appropriate custody solutions, including sole physical custody or joint physical custody.

Wills
When a problem presents itself that affects the estate of a loved one we can help in a wide variety of ways. We will review the actions of executors, administrators, trustees and attorneys-in-fact to confirm that they have acted appropriately with the estate or trust assets. We pursue will contests, challenges to the actions of fiduciaries and general estate litigation when disputes arise. We will strive to resolve disputes by settlement but will vigorously pursue estate litigation where appropriate.
