The firm provides a range of asset protection strategies designed to shield and insulate your savings and property from personal and business liability risks. The size of your estate is not important, because no matter what you have now, you don't want to lose what you have worked so hard to acquire, and you don't want to put future acquisitions in a vulnerable position. As the saying goes, a penny saved is indeed a penny earned.
The Firm protects professionals, businessmen, and families who wish to avoid jeopardizing the assets they have accumulated over the years. A thoughtful, carefully tailored legal plan can generally accomplish this worthwhile goal.
The Litigation Explosion.
You are at risk!
It has been estimated that 50,000 lawsuits are filed in this country every day of the week. This has come to be known as the “litigation explosion.” Whatever the causes-a breakdown of traditional values, the loss of a sense of community, too many hungry lawyers, wasteful insurance companies-the impact on each of us is significant. When patients sue doctors, the cost of healthcare rises. To compensate for products liability claims, manufacturers add a premium to the price of their products. Litigation cripples business. It is time consuming, expensive, and emotionally charged. It detracts from our ability to focus on productive matters, as attention is directed away from matters of efficiency and innovation. Parties to a lawsuit spend so much time meeting with lawyers and fighting with the other side that nothing gets accomplished. As businesses are dragged under by the burdens of litigation, our whole society suffers.
If you are engaged in any business activity or if you have a professional practice, chances are that sooner or later you will be sued. And if you are sued, everything that you have worked hard to create will be placed in jeopardy. The costs of defending even a frivolous suit can easily reach $50,000 to $100,000. Once you get to court, you will find that the system is heavily weighted toward the sympathetic plaintiff, as judges and juries play Robin Hood with your money. These judges and juries are continually expanding theories of liability, and stratospheric damage and punitive damage awards are now routine. It is no longer uncommon for awards in negligence cases to exceed $1 million. |
