• Estate Planning Our Estates Practice involves all of the issues regarding the transmission of wealth from senior generations to junior generations. The core of our Estates practice involves three important areas: Estate Planning, Estate Administration and Probate Litigation.
• Assest Protection Asset Protection planning is the process of organizing one's assets and affairs in advance to guard against risks to which the assets would otherwise be subject. The phrase ''in advance'' warrants strong emphasis. One who is planning to protect assets must be cautious and avoid the negative implications that may follow if there are creditors who are entitled to remedies under applicable fraudulent transfer and similar laws. Asset protection planning may be applied to protect every type of asset, including an operating business or a professional practice.
• Elder Law Our Elder law specialty practice covers elements of estate planning, wills, trusts, arrangements for care, social security and retirement benefits, asset protection, tax planning, healthcare law, protection against elder abuse (physical, emotional and financial), and other concerns of older people. As more people live longer it has become an increasingly important field.

• Tax Adjudication We devote a major portion of our attention to matters dealing with individuals, their businesses and their problems. We have expertise in many areas of tax law that require more than a casual acquaintance with the complex system of statutory and regulatory requirements. Tax law constantly experiences changes, and we can advise clients about favorable provisions of which certain taxpayers may want to avail themselves while at the same time warn about potentially unfavorable provisions under the applicable tax law.
