  1. Real Estate Law

    Our real estate law practice focuses on guiding clients through the legal aspects of buying, selling, leasing, and developing property, emphasizing careful contract drafting and review to ensure that agreements clearly define rights, obligations, and risk allocation. Our real estate practice also includes the preparation and negotiation of commercial and residential leases, tailoring terms to protect clients’ interests while maintaining compliance with applicable laws.

    In addition, our practice includes reviewing surveys and plats to identify boundary issues, easements, encroachments, and other title concerns that may affect property use or value. By conducting thorough due diligence and addressing potential issues early, real estate transactional counsel helps facilitate smooth closings, minimize disputes, and helps safeguard investments.

  2. Estate Planning and Probate Law

    Estate planning is a crucial aspect of securing your assets and ensuring their smooth transition to your beneficiaries and/or heirs. Our team at Cordle Law offers personalized estate planning services to help you navigate this complex area of law with confidence and peace of mind. Whether you need a simple Last Will and Testament and other basic documents (Power of Attorney, Living Will/Designation of Health Care Surrogate, Designation of Pre-Need Guardian) or more complex planning with a trust, we have you covered.

    The death of a loved one is difficult and emotional. Navigating the legal intricacies of probate and estate matters requires knowledgeable and compassionate guidance. Cordle Law provides dedicated probate law services to support our clients through challenging times with understanding and expertise.

We specialize in business formation and governance, and our team has over a decade of experience representing small businesses, corporations, and non-profits, from start-up to on-going representation on various matters, including employment, real estate (leases, contracts, zoning issues, etc.), mergers and acquisitions, contracts and agreements with third party vendors, asset purchases, among other various issues.

  4. Legal Consultation

Whether you seek advice on a legal matter or need representation, our team is committed to providing personalized and effective solutions tailored to your unique needs, and is committed to helping you connect with the right person for your issue.
