This is a good question, but we think it must be paired with another question; why do I need a lawyer? Our core belief is that, like other professionals (physicians, accountants, etc.), the best lawyers narrowly focus their practices in 2-3 areas of the law to allow them to provide exceptional service and counsel to clients with unique needs. Therefore, we recommend choosing a lawyer or firm with the requisite experience and knowledge to address your unique situation. If you are looking for an Estate, Business Formation, or Long-Term Care Asset protection plan, we hope you will consider us.
