Estate Planning

Estate planning isn’t only for the wealthy or retired. Anyone can benefit from having an estate plan, especially if they own significant assets, such as a home. Our estate planning lawyers can help you create an estate plan that protects your future and your family after your passing. Or, if you already have an estate plan, we can help you modify it to keep up with your changing needs as you age.

Key documents many estate plans contain include wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance directives. By incorporating these different documents into your estate plan, you can customize it to meet your unique desires and preserve your assets for future generations.

In general, it’s recommended that you review your estate plan every few years to make sure it still aligns with your current goals. You should also update your plan any time you experience a significant life event, such as:

Large purchases or sales, such as those involving a home
The birth or adoption of a child
The death of a beneficiary or personal representative
Moving to another state

Personal Injury

If someone else injured you in Upper Arlington, Ohio, you can seek compensation by filing a personal injury lawsuit against them. This compensation can cover your past and future medical bills, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, physical pain and suffering, emotional distress, and permanent disability.

Our lawyers will investigate the incident that caused your injuries to identify the at-fault party or parties and collect supporting evidence needed to hold them financially liable. We’ll also calculate the value of your injuries and represent you in settlement negotiations with the at-fault party’s insurer. If the insurer refuses to offer a fair settlement, our team is always prepared to take your case to trial to seek the compensation you need.

Title IX Proceedings

Title IX is a federal civil rights law that applies to universities that receive federal funding. It requires universities to investigate sexual discrimination, including sexual violence, that occurs on campus. And the results of these investigations can be life-changing for students who are wrongfully accused.

If you are facing a Title IX investigation, it’s essential that you hire an experienced lawyer to protect your rights. Even if you believe the investigation will determine you did nothing wrong, dealing with it on your own can be stressful and impact your education and future prospects.
