Estate Planning/Estate Administration

Estate planning is necessary to ensure that your assets are passed to your intended beneficiaries. We will learn your goals and develop a plan to help make sure that your wishes are followed. Estate planning involves the preparation of documents such as wills, trusts, general power of attorney, healthcare power of attorney, living will declarations and related documents. When the time comes for the administration of the estate, we can help you through the complicated probate court system. We stand ready to do what it takes to settle the estate whether it involves a simply transfer of property or complex litigation.

Litigation

A large portion of our practice involves both civil and criminal litigation at all levels of state and federal court. We represent clients in contract disputes, divorce, medical malpractice and personal injuries, real estate, criminal, business and commercial matters and probate and estate administration. We will attempt to negotiate a settlement, however, when a trial becomes the only available option to protect our clients’ interests, we have experience in virtually every court in Northern Indiana.

Divorce/Paternity/Family Law

We recognize that family law cases are emotionally charged and stressful. We are committed to making you as comfortable as possible by listening and explaining the process in understandable terms. We will protect your rights as well as the interests of any children involved. We prefer to resolve cases collaboratively or through mediation. This saves times and money but also allows the parties to determine the terms of settlement.

We provide experience and aggressive family law representation involving:

• Divorce
