Estate planning clients are generally new parents who realize that, along with the time and energy it takes to raise a child, there is also the responsibility to plan for the care of their family in the event of an illness, accident, death or divorce. Or, on the other end of the spectrum, they are new retirees or pre-retirees who realize that the estate planning documents executed 30 years ago no longer address their situation.
Oil and Gas clients may require help with a new lease, right of way, surface use agreement, or ownership dispute.
Business clients are very happy to hand off contract drafting and negotiations as well as formal correspondence in the event of a possible legal dispute.
