Business Organizations:

The form of business chosen for a business entity potentially affects every aspect of its operations. I assist my clients with the business planning necessary to decide whether they want to operate as a closely held business, limited liability company, partnership, or corporation. I advise my clients about directors` and officers` liability, dissolution, reorganization, trade association membership and activity, joint ventures, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, business successions, and shareholders` rights, particularly those of minority shareholders.

Elder Law:

I work with my clients to focus on planning and provide an interdisciplinary strategy needed to achieve the desired results that preserve independence as long as possible, appoint an agent or advocate in the event of incapacity, and keep sufficient assets for a healthy spouse at home when a spouse must be institutionalized. Elder Law is a relatively new specialty that has evolved to deal with the growing elderly population and their unique and frequently complicated financial, medical and legal needs. I provide my clients services that go beyond the customary estate planning for the disposition of my clients' assets and deal with important lifetime issues, such as the quality of life in a person's last decades. Although not limited to the elderly, these issues customarily include the necessity of a Living Will, a Healthcare Power of Attorney and a General Power of Attorney. Back To Home

Estate Planning, Probate, Trusts & Wills:

Wills and Trusts are made to implement planning objectives. I advise my clients of the various alternatives and develop the best structure to conserve assets, reduce taxes and protect heirs and dependents. Estate Planning insures the execution of my clients' carefully planned goals. Back To Home

Health & Health Care:

I have substantial experience in the large and complex body of healthcare law which encompasses areas such as elder law, hospital law, and nursing home law and is impacted by Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and a myriad of Federal and State regulations.

Taxation:

I represent individuals and commercial clients in matters with tax implications, identifying and addressing state and federal tax issues, structuring transactions in such a way as to minimize taxes and avoid inherent tax problems.
