Areas of Practice
Juvenile Law
It is always frightening for a child who finds themself facing criminal or traffic charges. Juvenile Law can be a confusing process for parents and children alike, so it is worth considering to retain an attorney to assist in the child's defense. My years of practice in juvenile cases can be a great benefit to you and your child. Contact me today for a consultation.
Estate Planning
Completing your estate planning is one of the greatest gifts you can give to your loved ones. Comprehensive planning includes much more than just drafting a will. I offer services that include Wills, Powers of Attorney for Property and Finance, Living Wills and Healthcare Powers of Attorney, Advance Directives for Dementia, and Final Disposition Plans, Also, I discuss methods of avoiding probate to maximize the assets that will go to your loved ones. Feel free to contact me with questions or to schedule your appointment.
Criminal Defense
Being charged with a crime or traffic offense can be a very frightening experience. If convicted, you could face extensive jail time, expensive fines, and potentially life-long consequences. When facing charges, it’s extremely important to contact a criminal defense lawyer as quickly as possible.
As a former deputy sheriff of seventeen years, I have the unique experience of working on both sides of the criminal justice system. Let my experiece and knowledge help you obtain the most favorable outcome for your case. Contact me to schedule your appointment.
Probate Law
The probate process can be an emotional, complex and time-consuming experience to loved ones left behind after a death. A probate lawyer can help you navigate the process to ensure everything is distributed properly. I currently practice probate in Warren County.
Unfortunately, sometimes probate litigation may be necessary if disagreements arise between beneficiaries. As your probate litigation attorney, I will fight aggressively on your behalf so you receive your inheritance.
Family Law
Family Law is one of the most emotionally-charged areas of law in which I practice. I have assisted clients with dissolutions of their marriages, changes of custody of children, obtaining and/or defending them against Protection Orders that may be filed, and obtaining Grandparent visitation time.
One other area of Family Law I practice in is when Children's Services becomes involved with a family. Preserving your parental rights is essential, and obtaining an attorney who can assist you though this long, complicated process is essential. I would be honored to assist you with this process. Feel free to contact me with questions.
