Personal Injury Litigation

JMMWH attorneys have a broad range of experience in personal injury and wrongful death litigation, including motor vehicle accidents, products liability cases, civil rights, workplace injuries, and professional malpractice. Our attorneys have worked in both state and federal courts and will not hesitate to take a case to trial. JMMWH is experienced in dealing with insurance companies and medical providers to ensure that our clients reach the best possible outcome.

Commercial Litigation

JMMWH handles claims involving commercial disputes, including breach of contract, franchise issues, collections, garnishments, foreclosures, Uniform Commercial Code issues and other types of business disputes. We routinely represent banks, healthcare professionals, school districts, design professionals, contractors, manufacturers and other businesses in these types of matters.

Estate Planning

Estate planning involves not only planning for death, but also planning for potential disability. The attorneys at JMMWH engage in a variety of estate planning techniques, including revocable trusts (also called "living" or "family" trusts), special needs trusts, educational trusts, charitable trusts, and wills. We provide practical advice on options for transferring assets as well as the ever-changing estate tax laws. We can also help clients avoid probate if that is one of their goals.

Probate

Probate is a legal process to transfer assets at death. While probate used to be an expensive and time-consuming process, it is no longer such a daunting task. JMMWH handles probates on an hourly basis and - unlike many other law firms - does not take a percentage of the estate's assets as part of the fee.

Business Organizations and Corporate Law

JMMWH assists clients in the planning and formation of business entities tailored to individual needs. We can help you decide whether to operate your business as a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or sole proprietorship. We also can assist you with the sale or purchase of all or part of a business. Additionally, we can review or draft contracts, leases, buy-sell agreements and other legal documents you need to effectively operate your business.

Commercial Law and Collections

JMMWH provides numerous services to businesses, including business succession planning and advice on recurring business matters such as employee issues. In addition, we provide services to clients in connection with loan defaults and collections. Our attorneys can assist with debt collection, garnishments, foreclosures, repossessions, creditor representation in bankruptcy, loan workouts and litigation involving other collection issues.

Agricultural Law

JMMWH is able to represent clients in a wide variety of agricultural areas. Our attorneys can assist you with business succession planning, estate planning, land and personal property acquisitions and sales, leases, and numerous other issues.

Real Estate

JMMWH attorneys work with clients in many types of real estate transactions, both commercial and residential. We draft contracts for deed as well as purchase agreements for outright sale of real estate. In addition, we have experience with real estate development and local zoning rules and regulations. Our attorneys are also experienced in real estate foreclosures and mortgage transactions.
