Civil Litigation

Civil litigation refers to the legal process of resolving disputes between individuals, businesses, or organizations through the court system. In a civil litigation case, the plaintiff seeks damages or specific remedies from the defendant for alleged harm or violation of rights. Whatever the issue may be, The Law Office of James C. Deaton will provide thorough and zealous representation.

Estate Planning. Wills, Trusts, and Probate

Estate planning is a vital process that ensures an individual's assets are appropriately managed and distributed upon their death. This comprehensive approach involves creating legally binding documents, such as wills, trusts, and powers of attorney, that outline one's wishes and intentions regarding property division, healthcare decisions, and guardianship of minor children. Estate planning not only offers peace of mind to the individual but also protects their loved ones from unnecessary stress, conflicts, and potential financial pitfalls. The Law Office of James C. Deaton is also experienced in litigating probate matters and the administration of estates, including contesting the validity of Wills.
