Personal Injury
At Ward & Rafter, LLP, we understand that suffering an injury can be a transformative event in ones life. We know the affect an injury can have on your life and we believe you deserve to be fully compensated for having to endure this traumatic experience. Our aggressive advocacy for our clients is our blueprint for garnering the best possible outcome in all circumstances. We care about you.
Estate Planning
According to John J. Scroggin, “Many estate planners act as though estate planning is about death and the avoidance of a resulting death tax. To the contrary, the fundamental purpose of estate planning is to leave a legacy for the living. It is not that death and taxes are unimportant, they just pale in significance to the legacy you leave behind.” At Ward & Associates, we hold this principle dear. Providing the best legacy possible for your family is our north star.
Environmental Law
We have represented clients in a wide range of environmental issues, from helping small not-for-profit organizations challenge the illegal sale of municipal parks, to helping local elected governments understand that rational land use restrictions can protect sensitive waterfront without violating Supreme Court jurisprudence on regulatory takings. We have the experience to help you navigate these complex issues whether you're a homeowner seeking administrative approvals from a local government, or a small business defending itself before a governmental tribunal, we can help.
