It depends on your goals, liability exposure, and tax situation. We help clients choose between LLCs, corporations, or partnerships to align with their business objectives.
Yes — even simple agreements can create future disputes if unclear. We draft and review contracts to ensure terms are enforceable and protect your rights.
Ownership percentages, management duties, profit distribution, buyout procedures, and dispute resolution terms are essential. We customize these documents for clarity and fairness.
Proactive planning is key — use clear contracts, maintain compliance, and consult us before signing new agreements. Prevention is far less costly than litigation.
Without one, state laws decide how your assets are distributed — which may not reflect your wishes. A will ensures your property goes to the right people and simplifies probate.
A will outlines how your assets are distributed after death, while a trust manages assets during your lifetime and can help avoid probate. We’ll advise on which fits your needs.
Every 3–5 years or after major life changes — such as marriage, divorce, a new child, or property purchase.

Civil litigation covers non-criminal disputes such as breach of contract, property conflicts, landlord–tenant issues, and business disputes.
Not always. Many disputes resolve through negotiation or settlement before trial. We’ll guide you through the most efficient path to resolution.
It varies — some resolve in a few months; others take over a year depending on complexity, court backlog, and discovery. We keep clients informed at every stage.
