What Kinds of Issues Can an Attorney Help Me With?
- In FAQs
If you’re ever unsure whether you need legal counsel or not, we always recommend speaking to an attorney. A good lawyer will speak to you about your needs so that you feel comfortable and clear about engaging his/her firm.
What are some areas where we—as New Jersey attorneys—can assist you?
Civil Law & Litigation
These are issues such as torts (accidents, negligence, and libel), contract disputes, property disputes, the probate of wills & trusts, as well as other private matters involving private parties/organizations.
Corporate Law
Most businesses will have issues ranging from contract law to employment issues, intellectual property to bankruptcy.
Having legal counsel gives you the peace of mind that you’re proceeding with caution and with a clear sense of any risks or concerns you should know about.
Estate Planning
Although you may not realize it, a will is incredibly important for everyone. More than just specifying who receives your property, a will can also designate guardians for your children, ensuring their welfare and safety in case something should happen. In addition to wills, an attorney can support you with power of attorney (the power to make legal decisions on one’s behalf), living trusts, and much more.
Family Law
A divorce is rarely easy. Furthermore, when children are involved, even an amicable divorce can take a turn for the worst. When property is involved, it is important to take action to ensure that your future interests are taken care of. With the help of an experienced New Jersey divorce attorney, your divorce or family law matter can be handled in such a way as to benefit your current and future interests, as well as those of your loved ones.
Other areas of family law include equitable distribution of property, child custody and visitation, prenuptial agreements, spousal support, and more.
Real Estate
Whether you’re buying/selling a new home, office, multi-family dwelling, or commercial property, an experienced lawyer will be helpful in guiding the process and making sure that you know what bases need to be covered. From title insurance to inspections to other considerations, even seasoned property owners can benefit from an experienced set of eyes on the transaction.
