Bankruptcy and Estate Planning
Bankruptcy – Chapter 7 works very well for many people in the United States, especially those who primarily have unsecured debts. If you are a citizen that has high credit card balances, expensive medical bills, personal loans, and any other type of unsecured debts. These are the types of debts that can be eliminated. If you have a car you can keep it, if you own a house you can keep it.

Estate Planning – No two estate plans are the same. We will discuss a variety of legal tools that are available to help craft a plan that meets your wishes. These tools can include:
- Wills and trusts. A will is an important tool that outlines the distribution of assets. In some cases, it is also advantageous to protect assets with an irrevocable trust or avoid probate with revocable trusts.
- Powers of attorney. These legal tools provide guidance for legal and financial decisions in the event that you are unable to communicate these wishes yourself.
- Health care directives. These documents allow for the appointment of a surrogate in the event that you cannot make medical decisions due to incapacitation.
General Law and Criminal Law

What Does a General Practice Attorney Do?
General practice attorneys cover a broad range of areas, but they often don’t have much specialization in any particular area. For this reason, a general practice attorney can represent you in court, draft and review documents, and be your advocate in negotiations, but they may have to refer you to another attorney if they’re not familiar with your situation.

Criminal Law – Being charged with a criminal offense does not mean your case is over. You are still innocent until proven guilty, and no matter how bad the situation may seem at the time of your arrest, the circumstances are almost never as damning as you may be led to believe.
The law has many protections for people charged with a crime, including the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. As tempting as it may be to try and explain the situation at the time of your arrest or at your first court hearing, it is in your best interests to remain silent until you can consult with an attorney. Anything you say after your arrest can be used against you in court, and it is surprisingly easy to say something incriminating even if you are innocent.
