What We Do

Legal help, explained simply

Two practices, one goal: protect the people and the work you care about most.

Estate Planning

Decide now who receives what you own, who raises your children, and who makes decisions if you cannot. We put it in writing so your family never has to guess.

  • Wills and revocable living trusts
  • Powers of attorney and healthcare directives
  • Beneficiary and deed reviews

Small Business Law

Start your company on solid ground and keep it there. We handle the paperwork behind starting, running, and growing an Arizona business.

  • LLC and corporation formation
  • Operating agreements and contracts
  • Ongoing counsel as your business grows

Business Succession

You built the business; you decide what happens to it. We plan the handoff to family, partners, or a buyer so your work outlives you.

  • Succession and buy-sell planning
  • Key document updates as life changes
  • Coordination with your estate plan
Our Approach

No jargon. No hourly billing. No surprises.

01

Free consultation

We meet or call for about 30 minutes. You explain your situation; we explain your options. No charge, no pressure.

02

A fixed fee in writing

Before any work begins, we quote one flat price and put it in writing. You will never receive a surprise invoice.

03

Plain-English documents

We draft everything you need, then walk you through it line by line in words you actually understand.

Fixed Fees

Clear fees. No surprises.

Every engagement below is one flat price, quoted in writing before we start. If your situation needs something different, we will tell you at the free consultation.
