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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Mark Kelley has represented numerous West Virginia attorneys in all stages of the disciplinary process. If you need representation in this area or just want a consultation to help you deal with a complaint, the firm is ready to assist you in the process.
Employment law encompasses thousands of federal and state statutes, administrative regulations and judicial decisions that cover a wide spectrum of the employer/employee relationship. We handle issues for employees or employers in such areas as collective bargaining, employment discrimination, unemployment compensation, pensions, workplace safety and workers’ compensation.
The firm offers mediation services for business disputes, estate disputes and domestic relations cases. Mark and Sam have taken basic and advanced mediation courses through the West Virginia State Bar. 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. Sam generally limits his mediation practice to family law disputes. It greatly enhances the chances of a successful mediation if your mediator has extensive experience dealing with the issues to be mediated.
