As a general practice, the Firm can help you with a variety of your legal needs, including: LITIGATION SERVICES General Litigation (or lawsuits): whether it is a broken contract or some wrong you
cannot right on your own, we can help you pursue your legal rights in Court
if needed, either bringing a lawsuit or defending you from a lawsuit as needed. Bankruptcy:
we can help you evaluate your options with your creditors, including filing
for bankruptcy if you wish to do so Criminal Matters: we can help you criminal matters, including drunken driving charges
and traffic tickets Family Litigation: we can help with custody, visitation and divorce
matters – see the “Family Services” heading on this page. REAL ESTATE SERVICESHomes (and other Real Estate) : we can help you negotiate and close the purchase or sale of a home or a piece of property Landlord/Tenant: we can help you understand your rights as a landlord or as a tenant
under your lease and either file or defend an eviction action if needed. BUSINESS SERVICES Creating your Business Entity: we can help you decide the best legal vehicle for
your business, whether it is full incorporation here in New York or elsewhere
(including Delaware), a limited partnership or a limited liability company
(LLC). Small Business Advice: We can also help you with basic business advice,
from addressing day-to-day relationships with customers and other businesses,
reviewing contracts and suggesting sound business strategies to referrals to
other professionals needed to support your business and make it grow.
We can also help you defend the business and to assert your legal rights in
mediation, negotiation or, if needed, in prosecuting and defending lawsuits. ESTATE AND ESTATE PLANNING SERVICES Wills: we
can help you draft your will, create a trust to manage assets for your
children or grandchildren, as well as reviewing your assets to help you
create a legal framework for your long-term goals. We can even prepare
a will in cooperation with your brokers, accountants or other financial
advisors. Estate Administration: we can help you be an executor or administrator for
the estate of a deceased loved one. Powers of Attorney: need help writing checks or need to execute legal
business at a distance? We can
help you appoint a trusted person as an “attorney-in-fact” with the necessary
form. Living Wills – or more properly “Health Care
Proxies” – do you want to make sure
that you receive only the kinds of medical treatment you want? Do you want to avoid certain painful
means of prolonging a disease or condition? We can help you describe your wishes and appoint a trusted
person to speak for you when you cannot. FAMILY SERVICESCustody/Visitation: we can help you bring an action to get a Court order giving you
custody and/or visitation rights, or defend you against such an action. Separation and Divorce: Sometimes parties need to separate from their
spouses; sometimes the parties need a divorce. We can help you in either situation. If you want a separation, we can help
you discuss appropriate terms with your spouse. If you want a divorce, we can help you by preparing the
necessary court papers and guiding you through a divorce litigation. In either situation, we can help you
negotiate with your spouse to divide your property, safeguard your assets and
ensure a safe environment for your children. |
