Practice areas

A table of contents for what we handle.

Two disciplines, deeply — estate planning and the law of closely held businesses. We decline what falls outside them.

I.

Estate Planning

Wills, revocable living trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives — structured so your wishes hold up and your family isn't left guessing.

p. 01
II.

Trust & Estate Administration

Guiding executors and trustees through probate, accountings, and distributions with the least friction the law allows.

p. 09
III.

Business Formation

LLCs, S-corps, operating agreements, and the governance that keeps partners aligned years after the handshake.

p. 14
IV.

Succession & Sale

Buy-sell agreements, ownership transfers, and exit planning for the business you've spent a career building.

p. 22
V.

Asset Protection

Entity structuring and planning that puts the right walls between your business risk and your personal estate.

p. 31
Flat-fee packages

You'll know the fee before we begin.
