ESTATE PLANNING, WILLS, TRUST, ESTATE ADMINISTRATION, TAX LAW, AND ESTATE LITIGATION

We help our clients plan for the disposition of their assets after their death, navigating the intricacies of state and federal laws, to provide for the orderly distribution of assets and minimization of taxes. We can develop wills and trusts as means to organize those assets. Having a valid will is an essential ingredient in estate planning, and often, it should be accompanied by an appropriate trust. We also are experienced in administering estates, and when necessary, going to court to protect them.

ESTATE LITIGATION
FAMILY LAW, DIVORCE & DOMESTIC RELATIONS

FAMILY LAW, DIVORCE & DOMESTIC RELATIONS

Family relationships are complex, and the finances associated with those relationships are often intricate. We have the ability to understand the complexity of those relationships and provide our clients with effective counsel, especially when relationships end in divorce. We handle divorce cases at all income levels and have had particular success with high net-worth cases.

CORPORATE LAW & LITIGATION

Starting and operating a business requires many important decisions. We can help guide you through the process and protect your interests. The issues we handle include business incorporation, breach-of-contract claims, construction law, contractor’s liens, collection of debts, judgment enforcement, non-compete agreements, fraud, partnership disputes, operating agreements, employment matters, and business purchases and sales.

GENERAL CIVIL LAW & LITIGATION

General civil litigation involves seeking compensatory damages for some actual or perceived wrong. However, remedies in civil matters can also include specific performance of a contractual agreement, injunctive or other equitable relief.

REAL ESTATE LAW & LITIGATION

We handle a variety of real estate legal issues, including sales, leasing, financing, contract negotiations, title assurance, landlord-tenant relations and taxes. When litigation is necessary, we represent clients in disputes over construction, mechanic’s liens, easements, boundaries, condemnation and landlord-tenant issues.

MEDIATION

The firm offers mediation services for business disputes, estate disputes and domestic relations cases.

Mark has mediated numerous cases in the above fields and is available to assist litigants and their attorneys in trying to resolve these often-complicated and contentious matters.
