    Estate Planning in Three Simple Steps

    A legal and tax planning session with attorney Susanna P. Lichter over Zoom. Your Vision Session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, review your legacy planning objectives, and discuss our Legacy Plans and flat-fee pricing.

    Design Meeting

    We'll spend an hour together over Zoom designing your estate plan. After our Design Meeting, we'll draft your estate planning documents and send you a final draft of your estate plan for review, along with a video explaining the key sections of your documents.

    Signing Ceremony

    Congratulations! Your estate plan is ready. We’ll choose a convenient place to sign the documents or our attorneys can supervise over Zoom.

    Business Law

    We specialize in counseling start-ups on business structuring and formation, including providing essential contracts, IP assignments, and privacy policies to lay the groundwork for success. We also provide business succession planning services.

    Intellectual Property

    Your company’s trademarks and copyrights may be its most valuable assets and protecting them can prove complex and costly. Our trademark and copyright lawyers work closely with you to implement a tailored intellectual property strategy that is compatible with your budget and overall business objectives. Our law office offers flexible billing arrangements and can provide services on a fixed fee basis for many routine matters.
