At the law firm of Gizzi & Reep, LLP, in Benicia, California, we assist clients in resolving their
financial, business, and elder-law issues throughout the Bay Area and across California. While we
pride ourselves on being effective litigators, we also believe strongly in
the process of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). Specific areas of practice
include:
At Gizzi & Reep, LLP, we have assisted small- to medium-sized
businesses based in Benicia and throughout the
state of California
with business litigation and commercial transactions, including purchases and
sales, business establishment, mergers and acquisitions, partnership formation
and dissolution, and contractor disputes.
In our estate-planning practice, we handle wills, trusts, and other probate
matters, including estate and trust administration and legal challenges to
wills or trusts, as necessary. We collaborate with our clients to ensure that
the financial resources stay within their families or are properly directed to
chosen beneficiaries after death. Our attorneys have also drafted family
business succession plans, health care directives, and durable powers of
attorney.
We provide Alternative Dispute Resolution services for all types of
commercial and civil disputes both small and large, including complex
multi-party cases, business dissolution, asset division in divorces, real
estate contracts, and probate matters. Mediation and arbitration, as opposed to
courtroom litigation, can represent cost-effective ways of resolving
legal disputes. In family law matters such as divorce and custody, mediation
provides an opportunity for honest and open discussion and can facilitate
improved family relations. Contact us to discuss
whether ADR is a good option for you.
When an elderly member of your family is the victim of physical, emotional,
or financial abuse, he or she needs a lawyer. Our lawyers provide protection
and ensure the enforcement of the senior's rights. Many times, older Americans
are the victims of age discrimination when it comes to securing housing or
applying for jobs. Other elder law issues we have handled relate to living
wills and estate planning.
