Family Law

• Divorce
• Guardianship
  If you become mentally disabled, then you'll need to have a two part estate plan in place – one that will take care of your personal decisions and one that will take care of your financial decisions. Otherwise, you and your assets could very likely end up in a court-supervised guardianship or conservatorship.

Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  Jimmy has worked as the Chief Financial Officer for a large company; he has worked in corporate and individual tax return preparation; he has litigated numerous cases involving tax issues, corporate matters, owner disputes, and white collar criminal matters; and, he has handled well over 1.000 IRS and MDOR tax cases.
• Fraud
  Special agents analyze information to determine if criminal tax fraud or some other financial crime may have occurred. Relevant information is evaluated. This preliminary process is called a “primary investigation.” The special agent’s front line supervisor reviews the preliminary information and makes the determination to approve or decline the further development of the information. If the supervisor approves, approval is obtained from the head of the office, the special agent in charge, to initiate a “subject criminal investigation.” At this point, at least two layers of CI management have reviewed the ‘primary investigation’ material and determined there is sufficient evidence to initiate a subject criminal investigation.
• Money Laundering
  The Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division conducts criminal investigations regarding alleged violations of the Internal Revenue Code, the Bank Secrecy Act and various money laundering statutes. The findings of these investigations are referred to the Department of Justice for recommended prosecution.

Business and Corporate Law

• Corporate Law
• Business Disputes
  One of the things I have enjoyed about my litigation and controversy practice is that it has made me a better business law attorney. Working in litigation, you see all of the things that can go wrong in a business or transaction. While I frequently encouter taxpayers who have received unfavorable tax results from a business deal, I have also seen many business deals turn sour simply because of poor planning on the front end.

Trusts and Estates

• Estate Planning
  Exactly what is estate planning? In simple terms estate planning involves both planning for the possibility of mental incapacity and planning for certain death.
• Wills
  Upon your death, you'll also need to have a two part estate plan in place – one that will insure all of your debts will be paid and one that will determine who will receive the balance of your assets.Last Will and Testament - The basic legal document that addresses planning for death is called a Last Will and Testament. A will contains a written set of instructions to your loved ones as to how you want your estate to be handled after your death. One of the biggest drawbacks of using a will to dictate the distribution of your assets is that the property must go through probate before your family will be able to take legal control of it.Probate – Probate is the court-supervised process of inventorying all of your assets after your death, paying your final bills, and then distributing what's left to your loved ones. The key here is that probate is “court-supervised.” In other words, probate is dictated by the probate laws of the state where you live at the time of your death and can tie up your property for months or even years before your family will have access to it.
• Trusts
  If you are in a second or later marriage and you and your spouse will have different beneficiaries such as your own children or grandchildren, then you should consider establishing Revocable Living Trusts in order to insure that each spouse's estate will go where he or she wants it to go outside of the probate process.
• Power of Attorney
  Advance Medical Directive - The legal document necessary to delegate your personal decisions is called an Advance Medical Directive, also called a Medical Power of Attorney or Designation of Health Care Surrogate in some states. It will allow you to give to the person of your choice the right to take care of your personal needs and make your medical decisions if you're temporarily or permanently unable to do so for yourself.
• Probate

Finance Law

• Bankruptcy
  Chapter 7. Chapter 7 is a basic liquidation of assets. This type of bankruptcy is available to both businesses and individuals. It is generally known as a "straight" bankruptcy and is usually the simplest and quickest form of Bankruptcy. Under a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, the debtor is generally allowed to keep certain "essential" assets such as a home, car, and household fixtures. These are referred to as "exempt" assets. (Beware...there are strict rules regarding whether certain assets are exempt.) All other (non-exempt) assets are liquidated (i.e. "sold") and the proceeds are used to pay creditors. Liabilities to creditors remaining after liquidation proceeds have been distributed are then "discharged" by the Bankruptcy Court and the creditors can no longer attempt to collect on the balances.
