A free consultation with the LAW OFFICES OF LAWRENCE A. PURITZ will help you understand your rights and the process of getting compensated for your injuries. Because cases are different, legal advice must be narrowly tailored to the specific circumstances. That's why a person consultation is necessary.
When should I see a lawyer?
As soon after your injury as possible. A prompt visit with an attorney is important for several reasons. Such cases require prompt investigation in order to preserve evidence such as photographs, witness statements, etc. The opposing party will almost always have an insurer or other investigator looking into the facts and you too should have someone on your side. Also, your claim must be filed within certain time limits or it will be terminated. There are various time limits for certain personal injury actions, and thus, only an attorney can explain the limitations applicable to your specific case.
What will a Consultation with a lawyer cost?
Nothing! The attorney will be paid through a percentage of proceeds recovered by way of either settlement or trial. Any costs incurred in pursuing the claim will generally be advanced by the attorney and paid for at the conclusion of the case.

An "estate plan" is an arrangement for the conservation, investment, use, management, and transfer of a person's property, both during the person's lifetime and after the person's death. The process by which a person's property is arranged so as to gain the maximum benefits of pertinent laws while carrying out the person's wishes for transfer of the property to others is called "estate planning".
What does an Estate Plan achieve?
A well thought out estate plan will seek to achieve a variety of objectives. In the typical case, an estate plan will seek to do the following:
Create an estate, where none exists, by maximizing opportunities for savings and investment;
Conserve an estate, where one already exists, by improving investment and savings techniques and optimizing tax savings opportunities;
Create conditions under which the client can optimize use of the estate during the client's lifetime, in accordance with the client's personal preferences and lifestyle;
Make plans for the management of the client's property if and when the client should become disabled or incapacitated;
Transfer a part of the property to persons or entities of the client's choice during the client's lifetime, to the extent that the client wishes to make such transfers; and
Transfer the balance of the property to persons or entities of the client's choice after the client's death.
