I offer legal services in the areas of Estate Planning, Non-Profit and Business Organization, Family Law, and other personal legal matters.
A personalized experience, with a skilled attorney, is the best way to ensure that your wishes will be carried out when you are unable or unavailable to make such decisions. This is more than simply printing out documents. Our philosophy is that we would like to take the time to develop a clear picture of our client’s situation before any document is drafted. Additionally, this process must involve client input to ensure accurate representation. A relationship that begins with trust will always yield the best results. It is important to have peace of mind when it comes to protecting your interests as well as ensuring that all that you have saved can be passed on in the way you have decided.
Slate Law approaches estate planning in a unique way. We will take the time to understand your estate, and what result you are seeking, before we talk about what method to use to reach that desired result. We can help you establish a Durable Power of Attorney and a Medical Durable Power of Attorney to ensure that your wishes will be carried out, during your lifetime, in the event that you are disabled and unable to do so. A Will can also ensure that minor children are cared for and that the wealth you have accumulated during this life will be passed on in the way that you desire.
Establishing your business as a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization can be beneficial in a number of ways. Once you are established, any donation made to your organization is tax deductible. This status is crucial for would-be donors that are interested in your organization's purpose and vision. Utilizing an attorney for this process will give you peace of mind and enable you to get through the application process with ease. We can assist you in drafting your organizations Articles of Incorporation according to your organizational needs. If you already have Articles of Incorporation, but would like to update them, a trusted attorney can help you to do so. We can assist you in making sure organizational goals are represented in the Articles of Incorporation and the process of gaining non-profit status.
Other types of business organizations offer protection for your personal assets in the event that the organization is liable under certain circumstances. Establishing a corporation or a limited liability corporation can shield an individual from being personally liable for debts that are incurred by the organization. We can discuss what your objectives are for your business and be there with you along the way to see those objectives through.
When you are dealing with a child custody issue, or a looming divorce, it is important to approach the legal process with a clear mind. Not only is it important to understand the laws that apply to your case, but it is also important to understand how a legal decision can affect your family, your children, and their future.
Having legal representation during these troubling times can make the difference in the outcome. Slate Law can be there to help navigate the court system to protect both your parental rights and your children’s rights as well.
