Wills, Trusts and Estates
Current laws provide unprecedented opportunity in planning the inter-generational transfer of wealth.
We counsel clients in protecting property and planning for the tax-saving disposition of their estates and businesses by wills, living trusts, or other methods. In our estate administration work, we advise executors, trustees, and beneficiaries of their rights, duties, and liabilities in connection with the distribution of property.
Family Law
Our firm is one of the few large Wilmington firms with a Family Law Group. We represent clients in divorce, property division, alimony, child custody and visitation, and child and spousal support issues. We negotiate and prepare pre-nuptial and separation agreements. We counsel clients in adoption and termination of parental rights.
While our experienced advocates provide aggressive trial representation, we also understand the need for sensitivity in the emotional issues of family law and the advantages of out-of-court settlements.
Our family law attorneys have the benefit of others in the firm who work in such related fields as real estate, tax, estate planning, corporate, and business issues.
Personal Injury and Insurance Litigation
Our firm handles claims for insureds, insured persons, and their families as well as individuals and companies sued for such claims. Claims based on automobile collisions, defective products, slips-and-falls and dangerous conditions of property are some of the cases we handle. We are experienced in controversies over insurance policies and policy cancellations.
