Wills & Estate Planning
Estate Planning is the process of setting forth how you would like your last wishes to be accomplished. Estate Planning typically utilizes documents, such as Wills and Trusts, to eliminate uncertainties in the administration of a probated estate and to maximize the value of the estate by reducing taxes and other expenses. Whether you have few or substantial assets, your Last Will and Testament will distribute your assets according to your wishes. Additionally, you can designate a guardian for minor children and beneficiaries who are incapacitated. You may also specify final arrangements, such as whether to be buried or cremated. More sophisticated estate plans may even cover deferring or decreasing estate taxes and dissolution of business interests. This type of advanced planning can help to reduce the anxiety and stress to your loved ones during their time of grief.

F.A.Q
What does a criminal defense solicitor do?
A criminal defense solicitor is a lawyer who represents people accused of crimes in court. They may represent the person during pre-trial negotiations with prosecutors, during trial, and in appeals. They may also provide legal advice to their clients. Criminal defense solicitors must be able to think on their feet and make quick decisions, as the outcome of a case can hinge on a single argument or piece of evidence.
What is the job of a prosecutor?
A prosecutor is a government official who is responsible for bringing a criminal case against an individual or corporation. Prosecutors typically work for the government agency that is responsible for law enforcement, such as the police department or the district attorney's office. They are responsible for reviewing evidence in a criminal case and deciding whether to file charges against the accused person. They also represent the government in court during criminal trials.
What is the work of a criminal Defense Lawyer?
Criminal Defense Lawyers are responsible for representing individuals who have been accused of a crime. They work to ensure that the individual’s rights are protected and they fight to get the best possible outcome for their client. Criminal Defense Lawyers must be knowledgeable in criminal law and procedure, and they must also be able to build strong cases on behalf of their clients. They often work with investigators, experts, and other attorneys to prepare for trial.
What will this cost me? Are there other costs aside from lawyer’s fees?
Those convicted of criminal offences sometimes have to pay large fines and court surcharges.
In addition to legal fees, your lawyer might also charge you for out of pocket expenses known as "disbursements". This includes things like the cost of travel and printing. Many lawyers bill by the hour but some will offer a flat or fixed fee for service.

How Long Will It Take to Finish My Case?
It could be a month or it could be years. It depends on the complexity of your case, available court time and other factors. Simple cases without a trial can normally be wrapped up within a few months. Complex cases that require a trial could take much longer. Your lawyer can help time things so that your case doesn't drag on too long.
