Personal Injury
If you have suffered a serious injury or have endured the tragic, sudden loss of a beloved family member, it can affect you and your family in many ways. A personal injury can cause not just physical pain and suffering, but you may be left with large unpaid medical bills and the need for ongoing treatment, as well as a temporary or permanent disability that impacts your income and finances. In these cases, you will want to understand your options for recovering financial compensation. Although the emotional loss of a family member is the greatest possible loss, you may find yourself navigating the unfortunate realities of life without that person’s ongoing financial contributions as well. There can be legal issues surrounding the timing of the individual’s death, and further consideration must be given to the ways our legislature has dictated what amount of damages can be recovered in a wrongful death claim.
If you or a member of your family have been injured by a negligent driver, property owner, trucking company, or nursing home, our lawyers can provide the legal help you need.
Family Law
The process of legally ending your marriage can be very complicated, and it may encompass a wide variety of legal, financial, and emotional issues. Because the decisions made during divorce are so monumental, it is crucial to work with an attorney who can protect your rights and advocate for your financial security and your children’s best interests. We can help you get the results you need when addressing matters such as property division, maintenance/alimony, child custody and physical placement, and child support. We will work with you to negotiate a favorable divorce settlement, and if necessary, we are prepared to advocate on your behalf in court.
Wills, Trusts, & Probate
Your family’s financial security is one of your primary concerns, and it is important to plan for how to provide for your family members both now and in the future. Our estate planning attorneys can help you create wills and trusts to address what will happen after your death while ensuring that your own needs will be met during your lifetime. We can also assist with powers of attorney, health care directives, business succession planning, and more, and we provide representation for executors and trustees in probate and estate administration cases. With our help, you can make the decisions that will protect your family’s future and ensure that your wishes are carried out correctly.
Business Law
When building or managing a business, you will want to take steps to create a foundation for success while also protecting yourself from liability and addressing any legal disputes. Our business law attorneys can assist with business relations and transactions, including business formation, shareholder agreements, and mergers and acquisitions. We can provide representation in business litigation, including representing employers in disputes with employees. We assist with residential & commercial real estate transactions and litigation. Whether you are a large or small business, we can provide the representation you need to protect your long-term interests and profits.

Paula is very knowledgeable and kept my interests foremost in the divorce. While the divorce was amicable, Paula made sure I avoided pitfalls and reminded my ex-wife that even though the three of us met, Paula represented me. Paula was concise in our meetings and kept the process flowing smoothly. Without hesitation, I would recommend her to others.

Kelly was very helpful and knowledgeable when it came to my divorce. I was really going through a tough time and she helped me fight for what I believed in. She was aggressive yet sensitive when it came to my needs. I was able to get the outcome I was hoping for because of Kelly. I highly recommend her for your family lawyer services.
