Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

- Business Formation

The Smeberg Law Firm is proactive in protecting our clients and planning for their futures and the futures of their businesses. During our free, initial consultations, we listen very carefully to the goals and concerns of Texas business owners. Some are startups and the new business owner needs more care and counsel than an experienced owner who is adding to or adjusting his or her business empire. Our San Antonio business formation lawyers will meet you at your level of need.

- Business Bankruptcy

Our business bankruptcy lawyers help Texans with a wide range of businesses — from small mom and pop shops in Seguin to large companies in and around San Antonio. We are experienced business bankruptcy attorneys with knowledge of the process and the practical application of options that are available to you. If you are struggling with debt issues, you need a lawyer who knows whether you should choose Chapter 7, Chapter 13 or Chapter 11 reorganization. We have significant business experience, specifically in business bankruptcies, and we can take you through the process from start to finish.

- Consumer Bankruptcy

Some people try to save money by handling their own bankruptcy matters, but this can be a costly error because online forms may not effectively address your unique situations such as a divorce that involves bankruptcy and foreclosure. The Smeberg Law Firm can resolve all of those matters, including making any necessary changes to estate documents. Contact us for a free consultation, at no obligation, so we can discuss your specific circumstances. As soon as you retain our services, we can stop the creditors from calling and put a halt to actions such as wage garnishments, foreclosures and judgments.

• Debt Reduction for Businesses and Consumers
Our team of experienced attorneys works closely with clients to resolve their debt problems by handling the process from start to finish, including handling issues such as: Credit negotiation with banks and creditors; Credit counseling to reestablish credit; and, Creation of a payment plan. We have provided counsel regarding hundreds of cases of debt reduction for businesses and consumers, and there are many factors to consider when discussing debt solutions. We invite you to take advantage of our offer of a free, initial evaluation of your situation. We will explain your legal rights and your options, so you can be fully informed before making important decisions.

- Construction Law

Our construction law attorneys have represented numerous residential and commercial contractors with legal needs such as drafting and reviewing contract documents, filing liens to secure payment, and pursuing and defending a wide range of claims. Our legal team also handles legal matters involving:

. Material liens and mechanic's liens;
. Asserting lien rights on homestead property;
. Contract — negotiations, drafting and review;
. Architect/subcontractor agreements — drafting and review;
. Litigation between general contractors, subcontractors and owners;
. Negotiating government contracts.

- Contracts

Our strength in negotiating contracts and agreements stems from our experience in creating them. We believe in drafting contracts that accomplish your goals without containing provisions that you don't need and in delivering those documents in a timely manner. Contracts shouldn't be judged by the weight of the paper they're made of but by the strength of their contents. Unfortunately, time sensitive documents often draw too much from templates that were drafted for a particular time and situation without appropriate customization for the situation at hand. We believe in drafting agreements that are carefully tailored to meet your specific needs while ensuring the highest level of protection.

- Estate Planning

Estate planning is not just about distributing assets after death. In fact, two of the major benefits of estate planning are asset protection and the ability to control your future. For business owners, estate planning can be the key to avoiding numerous problems — before and after death. Regardless of the size of your estate, our estate planning service includes the preparation of a will, as well as several other documents that help address many potential scenarios such as the inability to communicate your wishes due to incapacitation. These documents include a health care power of attorney, your directive to physicians, a HIPAA authorization, a declaration of guardian, a statutory power of attorney, and, if appropriate, a declaration of guardian for minor children.

- Family Law

An experienced lawyer knows how to foresee potential problems and setbacks while planning for your divorce. The Smeberg Law Firm will take all of the following into consideration: Asset protection, Child custody and visitation, Child support, Post-divorce modifications, Debt issues in divorce, and, Divorcing an unfaithful spouse. If you think it might be time to dissolve your marriage and move on to the next stage of your life, we can help you. We have successfully represented divorce clients throughout south central Texas. We work closely with our clients to help them understand their rights and options regarding parenting and property settlement.

- Homeowners Association Law / HOA

At the Smeberg Law Firm, we take a very different approach in regard to representing Home Owner Associations ("HOA") and Property Owners Associations ("POA"). Most law firms tend to characterize the relationship between home owners and their HOAs or POAs as an "us versus them" adversarial relationship. Basically, the HOA or POA becomes an entity to be served by the home owners instead of serving the home owners. The Smeberg Law Firm understands that the purpose of Home Owner Associations and Property Owner Associations is to act in the best interest of the members and not against that interest. We believe that when this relationship functions properly, the home owners get the most benefit and HOAs and POAs spend the least amount of money on litigation. A great example of this concept is in collection of past due assessments.

- Laws for Physicians

Are you a medical resident, fellow, or practicing physician looking to enter into a contract for employment? Do you have questions about whether that non-compete is valid and whether that buy-in is too high? Do you have questions about your existing contract? Or questions about healthcare law and practices in general? Is your employer refusing to allow you to review the practice's books and records prior to your buy in? Have you been terminated from your employment with a practice or hospital for suspicious reasons?At The Smeberg Law Firm, PLLC, we can assist physicians with the answers to these questions and can help you review the terms of your existing or proposed contract. We can also assist you with choosing key areas to negotiate and negotiating your contract appropriately.

- Litigation

At the Smeberg Law Firm, our knowledgeable lawyers have reputations as aggressive litigators, but litigation is not always our first choice. We consider all the options when resolving your case, including negotiation, mediation and arbitration. Our focus is on identifying the method that will produce the best outcome for your case in the most efficient, cost-effective manner. Our trial attorneys have extensive experience in the defense and prosecution of a wide range of claims, including business disputes, enforcement of contract terms, defense of toxic torts and personal injury claims.
