The areas of practice in the Firm are limited to estate planning and administration, elder law, taxation and entity planning for businesses and non-profit organizations. In this way, we are able to focus our efforts on separate but related legal matters for our clients. Business owners, for example, have access to legal counsel on matters ranging from living trusts to stockholder agreements to tax planning for exit strategies. Our lawyers handle disputes involving will contests, removal of trustees, appointment of guardians and taxpayer litigation. In sum, we strive to meet or exceed client expectations for the type and level of services provided within the self-imposed limitations of a "boutique" law firm.
