Our main goal is to ensure that large companies don't take advantage of people who were involved in serious accidents. As injury attorneys, we all too often see people getting mistreated by insurance companies and other large corporations. We fight for our clients' to ensure that they get fully compensated to help alleviate their burdens.

You can't take it with you when you die, but you can direct the transfer of your assets upon death through a well-considered estate plan. Estate plans commonly consist of a will, power of attorney, and health care power of attorney. A trust can also be a useful tool in estate planning. The only way to ensure that your assets get to the people or organizations you care about most, you should have an estate plan in place.
A well-considered and properly drafted will is the best way to ensure that your assets are transferred in accordance with your wishes. Without a will, most people's assets will pass to their children. A surviving spouse would have only a limited right to manage the deceased spouse's community property, and no rights to separate property.
