Services
Nonprofit Organizations
501(c)(3) formation, policy drafting, contract negotiation, and general counsel.
Charitable organizations provide relief to the poor and distressed, advance religious outreach to those searching for answers, lessen the burdens on government, and demonstrate effective mutual aid throughout communities. Our firm assists charitable organizations in obtaining 501(c)(3) nonprofit status and other tax exemptions and assists with ongoing legal counsel and representation, regulatory compliance, contract negotiation, and employment matters.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Grow your business with an acquisition, merge your business for greater market reach, or transfer your business when the right offer comes.
Our firm enjoys working with you and your businesses to accomplish expansion and future planning. Whether a merger, acquisition, sale, or family transfer, our team of professionals is ready to assist you with a user-friendly transaction and excellent customer care.
Estate Planning
Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance medical directives, and business succession planning.
Many people strive to be good stewards of their resources during life by saving, planning, and building for their families, churches, and communities. However, even good stewards often neglect to plan for the future after their passing. Without an estate plan, everything is left to the government to administer, causing unanticipated taxes, disputes, and heartaches for your loved ones. With a Will or Trust written by our experienced attorneys, you can leave clear, written instructions about guardians for your minor children, executors to handle your estate, and disbursements for your spouse, your children, and the charities that are important to you.
Litigation Defense
Resolve legal disputes with integrity.
If you are served with a lawsuit or demand letter, our firm works with you to respond in a timely manner, to avoid a default judgment against you. Too many lawsuits are not grounded in law or fact. Our firm walks beside you when faced with litigation, providing counsel, drafting responsive pleadings, working through discovery, and advocating with integrity on your behalf.
Anabaptist Representation
Providing necessary legal services for the underserved Anabaptist community.
Anabaptists face specific legal challenges every day, but often lack qualified legal counsel that can advocate for them from a position of understanding and integrity. Our firm has experience working with Anabaptist individuals and businesses to resolve disputes and navigate complex legal matters.
Corporate Counsel
Engage our firm as ongoing legal counsel for your business.
Our firm serves as ongoing corporate counsel for larger clients, and we would be open to creating a relationship with you that provides readily-available legal counsel from a firm that you trust and know. Our team is only a phone call away. Clients can also request in-person meetings at your place of business for convenient service and strategic planning.
