Elder Law

Our attorneys are sensitive to the needs of our ever-aging population.  We assist the elderly with a variety of legal issues including Medicaid planning, appointing a power of attorney, guardianships, wills, and living trusts.

Estate planning allows you, while you are still living, to ensure that your property will go to the people you want, in the way you want, and when you want.  We will help you develop personalized strategies for achieving your financial goals by utilizing estate planning tools, such as wills and various types of trusts.

Real Estate

We offer full representation in all real estate matters.  Whether you are buying or selling a home, co-op, condo, or commercial property, or just refinancing, we can assist you.  In addition, we can help you obtain surveys, building permits and certificates of occupancy.

Criminal Defense

Temple and Temple has extensive experience defending the rights of people arrested and accused of offenses.  We handle traffic violations, such as speeding, DWI / DUI, illegal lane usage, reckless driving, failure to yield, and following too closely. 

Divorce and Family Law

We are skilled in the variety of issues that frequently arise in family law matters such as adoption and name changes, as well as the issues which may arise during the uncontested dissolution of a marriage. We will work hard and provide good service in representing your best interests.

Debtor / Creditor

Our experienced lawyers can pursue a variety of remedies to assist creditors in obtaining collection of their just debts, such as levied bank accounts and mechanics liens. We also provide services for debtors to assist them in their debt issues.

Personal Injury

We represent individuals who have been seriously injured as a result of the negligence, carelessness, or recklessness of others.  We will assist you in receiving fair compensation by aggressively pursuing your interests in cases such as motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall injuries, defective products, and other personal injury cases.

Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy can be an effective tool to gain relief from your debts, but it should not be undertaken without serious consideration and consultation with an experienced attorney.  We will consult with you regarding your situation and help you through the bankruptcy process if it is found to be the appropriate answer.
