We are a different kind of Small Business and Estate Planning law firm. It is not enough for a law firm to say they are different. They actually have to be different, to come from a totally different mindset, to have a totally different business model, and to have a totally different way of working with clients. We don't just say we are different - we actually are. The traditional experience, whether you are looking for estate planning or small business law, is to go to an attorney when you need something specific handled. That attorney listens attentively, drafts whatever it is that you need, charges you for the document, and then you go your merry way. Then, life happens, your circumstances change, the law changes, and your whatever-it-was legal document is no longer doing its job. If it's an estate plan, your estate is going to have to go through probate, despite your intentions otherwise, or your estate is now taxable. All sorts of things can happen that affect your estate plan. If it's a business matter, things happen even more rapidly and operating without the right legal advice can get you into a lot of trouble. The wipe-you-off-the-map kind of trouble. Wouldn't it be better to have an ongoing relationship with your lawyer, so when life happened and things changed, you could call and find out if those changes impact you? And wouldn't it be better if your lawyer knew you well enough to know when changes in the law might impact you, and let you know about it? That is what we do and that is how we are different. Yes, we draft documents - but those documents are a by-product of our relationship with our clients. We are trusted advisers and we are in it for the long-haul. We want to be your lawyers for life.
