Family Law

• Divorce
• Guardianship
  Guardianship: Offering support through legal guardianship to individuals deemed mentally incompetent by the Probate Court, and who lack family or friends who are willing and able to make decisions in their best interests.

Criminal Law

• Theft
• Identity Theft
  The central goal of asset protection planning is to use the law to guard your most valuable assets from potential liabilities. Lowering the “asset profile” of an individual or family traditionally has been done to ward off frivolous lawsuits; today, however, there are additional dangers from identity theft, phishing, and similar schemes that make separating your assets from your personal information a wise decision. By transferring assets to a business entity or trust, you ensure that assets are no longer reported in your name. Even if your identity is compromised, your assets will remain safe.
