Practice Areas
The following are the firm's principal areas of practice. However, as an attorney with experience in a variety of civil legal matters, Joe may be able to help you with your legal issue that might not fit neatly into one of these areas. Call Joe at any time to see if he can help with your problem.
Wills, Trusts and Probate
Having a will is vitally important.
Everybody naturally wants their property to be distributed according to their wishes after they die. If you don't have a will, the state decides who gets what. The statutes determining the distribution of your estate don't care what you might have wanted. The only way to ensure that your desires are heard is to have a written will.
Joe can draft your will, whether it is simple or complex, whether your property consists of a few items of sentimental value or a large amount of property. Furthermore, Joe can take care of probating your estate - taking it through the court system, making sure your bills are paid, and ensuring that your heirs comply with your wishes.
Contract Law
Almost every aspect of daily life involves contracts. Most of these are informal and oral, but each time you make a purchase at the grocery store or have the oil changed in your car you have entered into a contract.
More complex matters usually require written contracts. These contracts can cover your employment or the purchase of your home. It is always a good idea to have a lawyer review any contract you are thinking about signing, and Joe has years of experience both drafting and reviewing contracts.
