Areas of Practice
Personal Injury/Wrongful Death
Personal injury and wrongful death claims are emotionally and financially overwhelming for the injured party or the deceased’s family. There are many questions that need to be answered before any settlement is reached or a lawsuit is filed. You need experienced attorneys to help you prepare your case and guide you through the obstacles between you and full compensation for you and your loved ones.
Real Estate
We handle real estate sales from contract through closing and everything in between, ensuring a timely closing. We prepare title searches, deeds, affidavits, leases, and option contracts.
We are licensed title insurance agents and bonded escrow agents.
Probate and Trust
We create individualized estate and trust plans for clients to ensure that property passes to the next generation in the manner and in the time period that they want it to.
In addition, we handle adoptions and guardianship through the Probate Court.
Estate, Farm and Business Planning
HGS attorneys work closely with local business owners, accounts and financial advisors to best serve their clients, whether they are starting a new business, expanding, transitioning to new owners or the next generation, or wrapping up an existing company or corporation. Our attorneys can guide you through the benefits of a partnership, limited liability company or corporation and work with your account to determine the structure that best serves your needs, both financially and in terms of liability.
