offense, we will be your greatest advocate and will defend your constitutional
rights to the fullest extent of our abilities.

you or your spouse is in the military, we have a firm understanding of
the issues faced by military couples, and this includes dividing military
pensions under the Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act.
Wills
Wills are a foundation of a good estate plan. They allow you to control
how your assets are distributed upon your death. With a will you can name
an executor, name a guardian for minor children, and bequeath assets to
a friend, charity, or distant relative who would not inherit in the absence
of a will.
Trusts
A trust is created by the settlor, who transfers some or all of his or
her property to a trustee. The trustee manages that property for the trust's
beneficiaries. Often, a settlor acts as the trustee of their own trust
during their life and appoints a successor trustee to manage the trust
upon death. There are different types of trusts and they are created for
various purposes, including probate avoidance.
Estates
Everyone can benefit from estate planning, it doesn't matter if they are
young or old, rich or of modest means. We can sit down with you and help
you establish an estate plan that will maximize your assets, provide the
best tax savings, and leave a lasting legacy for the ones you love.
Power of Attorney
At some point in your life, it may become difficult to conduct some of
your personal business which may be handled by a trusted relative or friend.
For example, you may become injured or ill and incapable of handling your
own affairs. In such cases, a limited or general power of attorney may
be very useful to you.
Advance Medical Directives
It is important to think about what types of care and treatment you would
and would not like to have. Advance directives allow you to communicate
your wishes about health care before you are unable to speak for yourself.
In Virginia, there are two types of advance directives: a health care
power of attorney and a living will.
