Estate Planning

After appointing Tyler as our chief Executor we requested that he also prepare our Wills. Our situation was more complex than most with a 501(c)(3) to consider and international connections. Tyler prepared all the documentation to our satisfaction, and there have also been one or two updates necessa...ry, also carried out accurately and in a timely manner.

President

Mr. Swain has been my "go to" lawyer for nearly 20 years. He has helped me with Real Estate transactions, Business Formations and Dissolutions, Business Agreements and Estate Planning. I have found him to be responsive, competent and highly professional. When I have approached Tyler with issues ou...tside his expertise he has introduced expert lawyers including employment law and sale of businesses, sometimes putting together a team to best accomplish the task. I highly recommend him.
