Mediation is the process by which the parties in a legal action utilize a neutral third-party to assist them in resolving their conflict and reaching amicable resolution in a cost-effective manner.  The parties, through mediation sessions with Mr. Streed, are assisted in reaching their own agreement and settlement of all Family Law related issues on their own terms.

To put it simply, probate is the legal process whereby a deceased person's estate is distributed to their heirs/beneficiaries and any remaining debts are paid to creditors.  With a will or without a will, probate is a very complex area of law which can quickly become quite expensive.  Thus, it requires a keen knowledge of the state laws that govern this type of action.  Our office is experienced at guiding you through this emotional and difficult process to the final distribution of your loved one's property.

Types of Representation

Traditional Attorney-Client Representation 

This type of representation occurs when the attorney and the client enter into a contractual agreement for continuing legal representation throughout the duration of their legal matter.  All aspects of your legal matter, including communications, are handled by Mr. Streed and his staff.   

Attorney Directed Paralegal Services

Attorney directed paralegal services consist of the attorney providing legal advice to the client and direction to the paralegal on matters concerning your case. The attorney also offers, within this type of representation, flat fee court appearances on the client's behalf at affordable prices. Under the attorney's direction, the paralegal drafts all necessary documents and forms required by the courts to handle the legal matter. 

Legal Document Preparation

Legal document preparation services differ from attorney directed paralegal services in that the attorney is not involved in any aspect of your case. 

Legal document preparation services cannot, by law, provide legal advice, interpret or define the law or provide the client with direction on how to bring their matter to conclusion.  Legal document preparation is provided to the client on a transactional or hourly basis based upon the type of matter and the needs of the client. This is sometimes an affordable alternative to traditional attorney-client representation. Mr. Streed offers a free initial consultation in many of these matters and is available for future consultations at his hourly rate to further assist you throughout your legal matter. 

Whichever service is best suited to your particular situation and financial position, rest assured that your legal needs will be met with skillful advice, individualized attention, and professional courtesy.  Find out more by clicking below.
