Other Practice Areas
The Law Offices of James D. Rush serves clients in other practice areas including:
Bankruptcy
In 2005, the bankruptcy laws were changed significantly, making it more difficult for individuals to declare Chapter 7. We offer a free one-half hour consultation to determine whether bankruptcy makes sense for your situation, and if so, which chapter best serves your individual or business needs.
Business Litigation
Certain business situations leave clients no choice but to enter into litigation, whether it is to enforce a right or defend a claim. Our attorneys offer the full range of litigation services and are ready to offer realistic advice on the best course of action. We’re not here to run up a huge legal bill on frivolous discovery and motions, we’re here to get you the best possible outcome with the minimal amount of expense.
Probate, Estate, and Trust Administration
There are complex and often confusing legal issues involved with the settling of an estate. Experienced probate, estate, and trust administration attorneys at the Law Offices of James D. Rush help families sort through those issues and settle the estate’s directives.
New Business Entity Organization
Starting a new business? Make sure you select the right business entity for your circumstances. Our business law attorneys can help you select the appropriate entity (LLCs, FLPs, corporations and others) for your start-up and formalize the necessary document to get you started on a sound legal footing.
Contracts
The best way to avoid problems later is to create clear and binding agreements today so that all parties are aware of their rights and obligations under the terms of a contract. Not only will a solid contract avoid the expense and wasted time of future litigation, it often allows the parties to work together more efficiently and profitably. At the Law Offices of James D. Rush, our contract attorneys will fully protect our clients’ interests without sacrificing clarity and common sense.
Business and Employment Law
Our business lawyers are often involved in the start-up of new business entities, but our involvement doesn’t end there. We work with our business clients to be sure that the legal formalities of business ownership and management are met on a continuing basis.
Wills, Trusts and Estate Planning
If you have property and/or children, you need a will, and you may need a trust. Our estate planning lawyers can help plan your estate (including succession planning for business owners) and draft needed documents including wills, trusts, living trusts, revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney, advanced health care directives and community property agreements.
Commercial and Residential Real Estate Matters
Buying or selling a home or business is a major event and deserves careful attention to legal matters. Our real estate lawyers can help you with those issues as well as property disputes, property development, leases, and other real estate matters.
Landlord Representation
There are many legal issues involved with leasing commercial property, apartments and homes. Our lawyers represent landlords in these matters including landlord / tenant matters and all phases of unlawful detainer eviction actions.
