Business

How did your firm decide on the primary area of practice(s)?

Our firm's attorneys has advised clients for the better part of three decades, and one of the first observations is that people defer estate planning because they view it as death planning, almost believing if they refrain from estate planning that they will liver forever. Conversely, we seek to educate clients that estate planning is actually a form of life planning, so that you monitor your assets acquired and determine for yourself where, how and to whom they will be distributed. Just as a person visits a physician regularly to ensure physical health is maintained, a person should regularly review his or her asset retention vehicles so that they remain current and applicable.
