The areas of law that define our practice.

Family Law

Dealing with family related issues is often difficult. Determining the value of child support, alimony or assets for equitable distribution is hard enough. Matters related to children, particularly when it comes to custody and parenting time, can be all the more complicated and stressful. Contact Christopher C. Pine, Esquire, to determine the best course of action for you as you navigate what can be an intimidating, and at times overwhelming, process.

Wills, Trusts & Estates

There is one truth about life that we all share: it will not last forever. So often, however, we ignore this fact, and thereby ignore the impact this will have on our children, parents, spouses and the other loved ones in our lives. But having this conversation now can save young children from a fight over their guardians; can honor a parent's last wishes with an advance healthcare directive; and can ease a spouse's stress with a well written power of attorney. You can also ensure that a loved one's wishes are followed after they leave us, so that assets are distributed as intended and their hard work is preserved and protected from those who seek to intrude on the rights of lawful beneficiaries.

Guardianship

There may come a point in a loved one's life where he or she needs special assistance and help for things they can no longer manage on their own. Problems with mental cognition can occur due to a number of reasons. Whatever the cause, if these issues are severe enough, his or her condition may merit the appointment of a guardian, whether guardian of the person, property, or both.
