Will & Estate Planning
Far too many people delay or even forgo preparing a will or estate plan for various reasons. Common misconceptions include they benefit only the wealthy or that one should wait until retirement.  Neither is the case.  Should the unfortunate happen, who is legally named to care for your minor children?  Which family member gets the house while the other receives the family heirlooms?  Far too often poorly draft wills, or even scenarios where no will is left at all, results in bitter divisions between siblings and fail to provide mechanisms for the protection of money left for the care of minor children.  Our firm is ready to provide the legal documents and trust provisions necessary to ensure every step is taken to honor your final wishes.

Criminal Defense
Through prior prosecution work, the Record Law Firm has extensive experience with Indiana criminal procedure.  Even after the initial accusation, arrest, or filing of criminal charges, you retain significant legal rights of which some will only be honored through affirmative advocacy.  Often, prosecutorial and police violations of your Constitutional rights will result in suppression of the evidence offered, but only if you have an advocate on your side trained to spot such misconduct and raise these issues before the court.

Business Incorporation
The Record Law Firm has the experience, training, and resources to help your business achieve incorporated status while protecting your personal assets.  Multiple incorporated and non-incorporated business organization forms exists, which each providing their unique benefits and downsides based on your unique needs.  We take special care to assist your business through each step of the process, while making extra effort to ensure your tax obligations are kept to a minimum. 

Personal Injury
When you or a loved one is the victim of another's negligence, lives are changed overnight, sometimes permanently.  While a monetary judgment will never cure paralysis, end chronic pain, or bring home a lost family member, a verdict does ensure mounting medical, repair, and utility bills are paid, lost future income is compensated for, and the transition to a new way of life is eased.  Remember, beginning from the time of the injury your window of opportunity to respond is limited.  By promptly contacting a licensed attorney, you ensure you case, and your prayer for relief, will not be permanently barred under the statute of limitations.

Family Law
The Record Law Firm provides representation and guidance in a full range of family related legal issues, including divorce, custody, child support, and paternity.  Further, we continue to advocate on your behalf even during court ordered mediation sessions and in subsequent order-modification hearings.  When your family unit faces difficult times, we are ready to provide the caring, understanding, and professionalism you need through these difficult times.

Civil Litigation
Does your neighbor want to build onto what you are certain is your property?  Are you a small business owner suffering financially from multiple unpaid accounts?  Has your employer denied your worker's compensation claim?  The roots of the Record Law Firm began with an emphasis on effective advocacy in litigation.  Contact us today so we can discuss what solutions we can provide for you.
