Our Practice Areas

Most business owners don't need a big firm. They need a lawyer they can call when a question comes up. I work as an extension of your team, and I'm there to talk through decisions, spot problems early and handle legal issues as they come. It's the value of in-house counsel at a fraction of the cost, with flexible arrangements that fit your budget.

A good contract prevents arguments before they start. Whether you need an agreement drafted from scratch or want someone to read the fine print before you sign, I'll tell you in plain terms what it means for you and where the risks are. That covers service agreements, leases, vendor and customer contracts, and construction contracts. You'll get practical advice, not a stack of redlines you can't decipher.

Your business needs a solid structure from day one. I help with forming LLCs, corporations and nonprofits, operating agreements and bylaws, and ownership changes. When it's time to move on, I'll guide you through dissolution and tie up loose ends with tax agencies so you can close the chapter cleanly.

Buying, selling, leasing or transferring property involves a lot of documents and a lot of money. I handle deeds, leases, easements and property agreements for individuals and businesses, and I explain each step so nothing catches you off guard.

Planning ahead is one of the best things you can do for your family. I'll sit down with you to understand what matters most, then put together the wills, trusts, powers of attorney and healthcare directives that fit your life. There's no one-size-fits-all package and no pressure to buy more than you need.

A letter from the IRS or the Indiana Department of Revenue can be unsettling, but it doesn't have to turn into a crisis. I help individuals and businesses respond to notices, audits and assessments, work out payment arrangements, and challenge income or property tax bills that don't look right. Most issues can be resolved through the agencies directly. When they can't, I'm ready to take your case to the U.S. Tax Court. Either way, I'll explain your options in plain English and help you choose the most sensible and cost-effective path.

Money trouble is stressful, and it can happen to anyone. I'll take an honest, judgment-free look at your situation and help you understand your options, whether that's bankruptcy or another path. If bankruptcy makes sense, I'll walk you through the process and help you get the fresh start you deserve.
