- Guardianship & Conservatorship
Probate courts handle guardianships and conservatorships. If a family member or close friend is unable to care for themselves or their property, you can establish a conservatorship or guardianship to ensure the person is properly cared for and his or her property is handled competently. A conservator is a person or financial institution appointed by the probate court to handle an individual's property and financial affairs.

A conservatorship can be limited by the court in such way the individual continues to control part of his or her property.

With most personal injury cases, the value of each case depends upon the severity of the injury, the permanency of the injury, the type of medical treatment received, the necessity of future medical treatment, the extent of the emotional distress, and the length of time needed to recover from the injury. We will fight to get the compensation you deserve.
