Virginia Business Succession Planning Attorney Outlines Next Steps for Business Estate Planning

Trusted Virginia Estate & Fiduciary Litigation Attorneys Providing Exceptional, Personal Service in Richmond and Central Virginia

You deserve a personal, boutique family law and estate planning firm for life’s greatest transition points: separation/divorce; estate planning/retirement; and elder law/avoiding unnecessary nursing home and long term care costs. And your family, your financial security, and possibly your children’s futures, at this moment, frankly requires a personal approach. 

Family law and estate planning are simply different and more deeply personal, than other areas of legal practice. It requires an outstanding knowledge of Virginia’s laws and the court system, as well as the emotional intelligence and discretion to handle delicate family law and estate planning subjects.
