FAQ's
If I am buying or selling real estate, at what point do I need to hire a lawyer?
The earlier the better. Because of our experience, we can help you with referrals to real estate agents and lenders who we know and trust.
It is important to hire your attorney to review the contract to sell or purchase, before you sign the contract. In the alternative, be certain there is a provision allowing 5 days for your attorney to review the contract before you are obligated. We will review your contract and give important advice to protect you from issues you may not be aware of.

What is a Living Will?
A Living Will states your specific instructions with respect to artificial life support. It is another part of your "Advance Directives" allowing you to choose whether you wish to be kept alive on life support, and removes the burden of painful decision making from others. In some instances, it can even prevent protracted legal battles because different individuals who are close to you disagree about "what you would want" under the circumstances.
