5
Practice areas
  1. Estate planning
    43%
    No matter your age, your income status, or the assets you have acquired, estate planning is essential. Deciding what will happen to your home, financial assets and children is a difficult process. We are here to help guide you through the process.

  2. Elder law
    40%
    The focus of Elder Law is on the client’s needs as they change and evolve with age. It is a term used to cover several sub-categories of legal practice including, but not limited to estate planning and management of specific benefits.

  3. Probate
    10%
    The main purpose of probate is to change the title on property owned by the deceased. Because every inheritance is different, it's hard to predict how much probate will cost and how long it will take.

  4. Insurance
    5%
    The firm’s insurance division assists clients with claims or lawsuits specifically related to long term care and life insurance denials. We assist clients at all phases of the claims process for securing their insurance benefits.

  5. Personal injury
    2%
    We built our practice on the premise of wanting to help those most vulnerable. Our firm is experienced in handling all types of personal injury claims and have successfully recovered millions of dollars for our clients.
