Real Estate

• Residential Mortgage Closings
• Commercial Purchases & Sales
• Leases
• Refinancing

For most people the purchase, sale, or refinancing of a mortgage is the biggest investment they will ever make. Having a knowledgeable and experienced attorney handle your real estate transaction will ensure that it is done properly and prevent problems. Let my knowledge and experience work for you. I will see that your interests are protected and that you enjoy a smooth transaction.

Estate Planning

• Wills
• Trusts
• Probate
• Estate Administration

Having a comprehensive estate plan is essential no matter how large or small your estate. Through wills and trusts we can ensure that your property is protected from over-taxation, and more importantly that your loved ones will be provided for. You have worked hard for all that you have. Together we can develop a plan that will allow you to pass as much as possible on to your family.

When the time comes, I assist families with the administration of their loved one’s estates. As a Probate Judge in Bristol, I have an intimate knowledge of the often times complicated probate system. If it is necessary to administer an estate through probate court, I provide my clients with the type of superior guidance that can only be gained through an in-depth relationship with the probate system.

Criminal Defense

• Misdemeanors
• Felonies
• DUI / DWI
• Traffic Offenses

From initial arraignment through plea negotiations, and trial if necessary, it is imperative that you have the counsel of an experienced criminal attorney. If the government is trying to convict you of a crime, I will make sure that your rights are protected and that you are treated fairly. If you have been charged with a crime from a minor traffic offense to a major felony, do not hesitate to contact me. It is essential that you have quality representation at every step of the proceedings.

Bankruptcy

• Chapter 7
• Chapter 13

Many people face difficult financial times at some point in their lives and bankruptcy is not the right choice for all of them. But if you have become overwhelmed with debt, you may be able to benefit from a bankruptcy filing. Whether you use a Chapter 7 filing to discharge debt, or a Chapter 13 filing to get more time to pay off your debts, bankruptcy can provide a financial fresh start for you. If you are facing garnishments, repossessions, foreclosures, and harassing calls and letters, I can help. Together we can determine if bankruptcy is right for you.

Business & Commercial Law

• Articles of Incorporation for Corporations
• Operating Agreements for Limited Liability Companies
• Dissolution
• Partnership Agreements
• Contracts

I work with business clients to establish new businesses through drafting and filing articles of incorporation, partnership agreements and operating agreements, as well drafting and executing contracts for the sale of goods and services between businesses. I work hard to handle the legal aspects of your business so you can focus on the bottom line.

Personal Injury

• Auto Accidents
• Dangerous Premises
• Defective Products

If you are suffering from an injury, you may be facing a long recovery. You may also be facing lost wages, mounting medical expenses, and the loss of the ability to enjoy life the way you used to. If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, you need someone that will work solely for you. It is in the interest of insurance companies to limit any monetary recovery. I will work tirelessly to ensure that you receive appropriate compensation for your losses. You do not have to go through it alone, I can help you make a full recovery.

I pride myself on offering a full range of services to the residents of Bristol, and the surrounding communities. If you have a question about any of these selected areas, or any other area of law, please contact me anytime.
