Areas of Practice
Business Services
We help with business entity formation, business litigation, IRS tax representation (IRS matters and disputes, IRS tax settlements and offers in compromise), and appeals arising from any civil business or tax matter.
When it comes to business entity formation and IRS representation, we view Rich Walker as our resident expert. To learn more about Rich, click here.
When a business matter involves litigation, Esteban A. Martinez and/or James West typically manage and litigate such cases in consultation with Rich. To learn more about Esteban, click here. For more on James, click here.
Trusts and Estates
We help you plan the disbursement of your assets to persons or entities upon your passing. We help you understand and decide which testamentary documents/instruments will best meet your goals then prepare them for your signature and safe-keeping. This helps ensure that your assets go to your intended beneficiaries with the least amount of litigation and tax bills possible.
Rich takes lead on such matters.
Civil and Criminal Appeals
If you went to trial and lost, you can undo that loss by winning on appeal.
We practice appellate law regularly and have won many cases, civil and criminal, on appeal.
These wins range from the reversal of murder convictions to the reversal of domestic relations rulings regarding children, money and assets.
If you want to appeal a criminal or civil judgment, call us. We can help.
If you want to appeal any civil or criminal matter, Esteban will take lead on your case unless it concerns a child-welfare matter arising from the intrusions of the Department of Human Services.
Child Welfare
We represent parents at all stages of child welfare cases. Any involvement with the Department of Human Services or allegations of abuse or neglect can endanger your family. No family should face these issues without representation. From the first contact from the county to potential termination of parental rights, we can help parents navigate the process and preserve their rights and their families.
James takes lead on all aspects of these matters.
Criminal Defense
With our extensive criminal defense experience, we can help if you’re charged with a crime.
From misdemeanors to first-degree murder, we’ll make sure you have the best team helping you achieve the best result at trial, in plea negotiations or on appeal.
We know that facing criminal charges can cause much fear and anxiety.
Put the problem in our hands. We want to help and we can.
Esteban takes lead on all aspects of these matters.
