- Nonprofit Representation

A nonprofit organization differs from traditional business structure in that it is created to serve the public, not necessarily generate profits for its shareholders. Many religious organizations and public benefit corporations are organized under Internal Revenue Service code section 501(c)(3). This does not mean that a nonprofit cannot generate profits, but it is strictly limited under law as to what it can do with generated revenue.

- Business Litigation

While business litigation and dispute resolution disputes can be regarded as a "cost of doing business," the costs are never welcomed and are difficult to plan for. Even businesses that intend to set aside funds to cover potential litigation costs are often unable to do so, due to other demands on company finances.

- Shareholder Litigation

When a family loses a loved one, the deceased's estate will likely go through the county court's probate process to finalize the payment of outstanding debt and to distribute remaining assets. If you recently lost a loved one, an experienced probate lawyer can help your family resolve all outstanding issues regarding your loved one's estate quickly, efficiently and at a reasonable cost.

- Estate Tax

For many people, their estates represent much more than the simple accumulation of assets. Your estate may represent the accumulations of your efforts. It may represent a legacy that you wish to leave for the benefit of your loved ones. It may represent a way for you to help the next generation begin their lives from a better position.

- Intestate Succession

Have you had a relative pass without leaving behind a will to provide guidance regarding his or her estate? Dying without a will is referred to as intestacy. Similar to dealing with an estate where a will is present, someone must administer an intestate estate. Without the direction provided by a will, there may be disagreement among the relatives of the deceased regarding who will administer the estate.

- Charitable Giving

The decision to benefit a charity is always one in which multiple parties can benefit. The mission of the charity is furthered. The beneficiaries of the charity's efforts benefit. The benefactor of the charity knows that he or she has helped others.
