Quick Answers

What is the first step in getting started?

Complete the contact form on this page to request a no cost consultation. At your consultation, we will review your needs, discuss your options, and outline a legal plan aligned with your goals.

What are your fees?

Fees depend on the scope and complexity of the work. Many services, including estate planning, business formation, and contract drafting or review, are available on a nonrefundable flat-fee basis so you have clear, predictable pricing from the start.

Do you offer virtual consultations?

Yes, our attorney offers consultations by phone or Zoom for your convenience. In-person consultations are also available if preferred.

Is an attorney necessary to form an LLC or corporation?

Yes! Without a will, Florida law determines who receives your assets and who is appointed to handle your estate. A properly prepared will ensures your wishes are followed and your loved ones are provided for according to your intentions.

Do I need a trust?

Not everyone needs a trust, but it can be a powerful tool for avoiding probate and controlling how and when your assets are distributed. Unlike a will, which must go through probate and is public, a properly funded trust allows your assets to pass privately and efficiently to your beneficiaries.

How often should I update my estate plan?

It is recommended to review your estate plan every 3–5 years, or sooner after major life events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or significant changes in assets. Regular updates help ensure your plan continues to reflect your wishes and current circumstances.

Do I need a will?

With an attorney’s help, we ensure your entity is properly structured and set up to support tax efficiency while maximizing protection against personal liability.
