VLO attorneys have extensive experience in contract law. Whatever the type of service you provide, you should be aware of the essential elements of a contract not only because you might want to create one with your customers but also because you might want to avoid being a party to a contract. We are aware of the intricacies in connection with the formation of a contract such as whether an offer and acceptance exist, whether consideration has been promised or provided, or whether the parties have the capacity to enter into a contract. We have experience in drafting contracts for large corporations, small businesses, the middle-man, or individuals. In drafting a specific contract, we consult with our clients on a daily basis and make sure that each provision complies with the law and with the clients’ needs and expectations. We negotiate the provisions of the contract with the other side in assuring that the best solution possible is reached at the end.

Wills, Estates, and Trusts |
We provide excellent service in the area of estate planning, wills, and trusts. You should keep in mind that estate planning is much more than planning for taxes. The best estate plans certainly take taxes and other expenses into account, but the main focus of any plan should be to identify the client’s specific wishes and to formulate the right plan that will carry out those wishes.
