Family Law

  The area of family law is vast and the issues deep. Trying to navigate yourself through a divorce, child support, custody, an adoption or any other category that falls under “family law” can prove to be a daunting, stressful task.

• Guardianship
  Not only is it important to plan for death and the transfer of your assets, but many times it is even more important to plan for your incapacity. Our attorneys are experienced in the area of incapacity planning and administration and regularly prepare powers of attorney for financial affairs and patient advocate and health care powers of attorney for medical decisions, which permit you to appoint a carefully selected individual to act as your agent, or power of attorney, in the event of your temporary or long-term incapacity. Our attorneys are also experienced in probate proceedings seeking guardianship and conservatorship appointments over incapacitated individuals. But these costly and public proceedings can often be avoided with the proper planning and guidance from our attorneys.
