• Firm Profile: My practice concentrates to assist and provide individuals with a full range of?legal assistance as they pertain not only to their immediate needs, but to their entire?life's situation.?It is my ideology to?counsel?and advise clients?in ways and means?to avoid costly litigation.? However,?if the necessity of litigation arises, I will zealously and?actively present their case.My practice?does not limit itself?to?a specific?area of law because it is the?client who is?important to me and my staff..? Most?people seeking legal assistance?do not fall?clearly into?one certain?area of need.?Client's?needs often?go into areas beyond the immediate and obvious concerns of?pending?issues.?For example:In a dissolution of marriage (divorce)?action, a client needs to be made aware that there is more to a divorce than just obtaining a Judgment of Dissolution.? He or she needs to be made aware of?asset protection, tax consequences, debt control, present and future estate planning,?monetary support?for the client's minor children and?for his/her non-minor children needing?assistance?for post secondary educational expenses,?and?the possible modification and/or enforcement of the divorce decree?and the?provisions therein in the future. In criminal cases,?clients need to be made aware of their rights from the time they are accused until the cause is dismissed, adjudged, or otherwise disposed.??He or she must be made aware of the?pre-trial, trial?and post-trial requirements of the client. In an personal injury and worker's compensation cases, there is?more to discuss than?settling the case and receiving monetary compensating.?There may be?needs to ensure?funds?for future medical or other forms of care,??guardianships for injured minor children, and payment of liens and other debts. Estate planning is more than drafting a will.? One's financial circumstances may require tax shelters and trusts to protect the assets now and in the future.??Health matters may involve powers of attorney, living wills?and guardianships so that the client has a voice at that time he or she?is physically incapable or unavailable to act or?speak?for himself or herself. My practice is centered on the premise of not just helping?individuals meet and resolve their immediate legal concerns, but also on educating and assisting them?with?their?future?needs and desires.

Also I want to make sure the money in the Life Insurance, Savings Account,401k and the cars go to my wife if I die. Do I still need a Living Trust for these?. . Can I hold off on a Living Trust until my main asset gains value? What are the risks?. Just clarifying ... I totally understand the benefits of a Living Trust. My question is whether I delay getting a Living Trust until my main asset really acquires some value..
