Does hiring a lawyer make you look guilty? This is a common question with a certain answer: no. In fact, a recent study found that pro se criminal defendants were convicted 94% of the time. When you are involved in a criminal case, retaining legal representation does not signal guilt; it reflects a desire to protect your rights and make informed decisions.

Moreover, believing this myth can have serious consequences for Americans involved in a criminal case. Consulting an attorney ensures you do not say or sign something that could harm your case later. Even small mistakes during a criminal investigation can carry serious consequences.

If you are unsure about your situation, do not wait to get advice. The earlier we are involved, the better your protection will be. Give us a call.

One of the most common estate planning misconceptions we encounter is that people believe their assets are automatically protected once a trust is created. However, that’s not the case. A trust must be properly funded to be effective, which means that you need to transfer the assets you want to protect into it. Without that step, those assets will likely still go through probate.

If you would like to set up a trust or have questions about an existing trust, we’re here to help. Give us a call, and we can find a time to connect.

With the arrival of a new year comes an opportunity to reflect on what’s changed in your life and what needs updating. Estate plans generally need regular updates, but it’s especially important for Americans to review their estate plans this year.

The recent passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) presents a number of estate planning implications that should be considered during an estate plan review. Personal events that are also addressed in this process include:

🔹Marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child
🔹The passing of a loved one named in your will
🔹Significant changes to your finances or assets
🔹Shifts in family relationships or dynamics

Scheduling a review may be the easiest New Year’s resolution you check off this year — and one that will bring real peace of mind.

If you haven’t scheduled a will review yet, give our office a call. We would be glad to help you start the year with confidence.
