Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need an attorney?
Attorneys have specialized knowledge and expertise in various areas of law, including business law, contracts, intellectual property, employment law, and more. This expertise allows them to provide sound legal advice and guidance to minimize the potential for lawsuits, regulatory violations, and other legal issues that could harm the business or your family.
Can I just use one of the legal services websites that offer discount pricing?
These platforms often provide standardized, one-size-fits-all legal documents. They may not be tailored to the specific legal needs and nuances of your situation, which is crucial in fields like estate planning and business law. Their services are transactional, focusing on immediate document preparation rather than long-term legal strategy. An attorney can help plan a comprehensive strategy that evolves with your business or personal circumstances.
Does my business structure matter?
Yes, a person’s choice of business structure can significantly impact various aspects of their business, including legal, financial, operational, and tax considerations.
Do I need a trademark?
A trademark or service mark identifies the provider of goods or services. The mark may include any word, name, symbol, device, or any combination of, used to identify and distinguish the goods or services of one seller or provider from those of others.Registering your trademark affords you legal protection. You worked hard on your idea and you want to protect your “intellectual property”. A federally registered trademark lets the public know that you and you alone own the mark. With a registered mark, you have the exclusive right to use the mark on or in connection with the goods or services you provide the public.
Do I need an estate plan? I thought they were only for the "rich"?
Yes, individuals who are not considered “rich” by traditional financial standards can benefit from having an estate plan. Estate planning is not solely for the wealthy; it is a valuable tool for individuals of various income levels to protect their assets, ensure their wishes are carried out, and provide for their loved ones.
I want my loved ones to be cared for if I get sick. What can I do?
Avoid probate! Estate planning can help your loved ones avoid the time-consuming and potentially costly process of probate. Even if your estate is not large, probate can be burdensome for your heirs.
Is it possible to protect my assets?
Yes. Trusts can offer protection for the business assets from creditors, lawsuits, or other liabilities. This is especially important for individuals who have a high risk of litigation.

What are you fees?
Whenever possible we charge “flat fees”. Flat fees provide clients with a clear understanding of the cost upfront. This transparency helps in budgeting and financial planning, as clients know precisely what they will be paying for legal services without the worry of unexpected additional costs. Some legal matters can be highly complex and unpredictable. In those cases, the scope of work may not be easily definable at the outset. In such cases, an hourly rate ensures that the fee accurately reflects the amount of work and expertise required.
