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, litigation defense, and employment matters.

Anabaptist Representation

Legal services, courtroom advocacy, and resolution in harmony with the Anabaptist faith.

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 form corporations, sell businesses, negotiate transactions, resolve disputes, and navigate complex legal matters.

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.

Mediation

Resolve legal disputes quickly, fairly, and respectfully.

Mediation is a confidential and voluntary process where an impartial third person helps the parties to reach a mutually agreeable outcome, without going to court. With a blend of legal experience and mediation training, our firm can assist parties in communicating, negotiating, and mediating disputes in a straightforward and peaceful manner.
