The firm has experience in all stages of family law matters, from initial proceedings to enforcement proceedings to post-judgment modification proceedings. Clients of the firm appreciate the firm's family-oriented approach to its cases and its emphasis on negotiation and settlement of family disputes rather than overly aggressive and costly litigation. The firm recognizes, however, that the nature of family law is adversarial and therefore the firm's attorneys are always ready, willing and able to pursue their clients' rights in court.

Older & Lundy’s attorneys and paralegals have a great deal of experience in the family law field and each of them brings a unique perspective to every case. The firm endeavors to match the right attorneys and staff to each client’s case. By doing so, the firm has had tremendous success at creating a trusting and comfortable environment in which to deal with and resolve what is often the most personally difficult and stressful situation in a person’s life. In addition, the firm has purchased and employed in its family law practice the most cutting edge software and training. This helps the firm’s staff and attorneys to most accurately and efficiently research and analyze all of the issues that can arise in any family law case.

Older & Lundy makes it clear to all of its clients that substantive decisions are to be made by the clients, and not by attorneys. We do not interfere with our clients’ personal decisions or create problems where they do not exist. We are committed first and foremost to our clients’ needs and goals and in this regard our job is to provide good advice, strong legal representation and to help people resolve their disputes as quickly and discretely as is possible.

Plaintiffs’ Litigation Practice

Older & Lundy handles all types of cases on behalf of plaintiffs, including:

• Personal Injury
• Insurance Coverage and Claims Handling
• Insurance Bad Faith
• Disability Insurance Claims

Personal injury claims are those claims that result in physical injuries caused by the acts of another. Personal injury claims often arise out of automobile collisions, the ordinary use of defective products, inadequate security, and improperly maintained property. Because these claims can involve intense investigation and analysis, it is in one’s best interest to consult with a lawyer as soon as possible after being injured. While time passes, witnesses’ memories tend to fade, evidence can be lost, and the statutory time period for bringing a claim can pass. In the legal world, time is almost always of the essence.

Personal injury claims can have many components, including medical bills and the need for future medical treatment, lost wages, and the sometimes very significant life alterations that result from a serious injury. Because we have handled all aspects of these kinds of cases, from expeditious settlements to complex jury trials, we go into every case prepared to protect our clients’ interests and we do our very best to ensure that the final result is properly tailored to the individual’s actual needs.

Family and Estate Planning

Older & Lundy handles all types of Personal Finance issues, including:

• Probate
• Guardianship
• Wills & Trusts
• Durable Power of Attorney
• Living Wills
• Estate Planning

The probate process is primarily a method of changing title from the deceased to the person or persons who inherit the property. Some assets require probate, such as real estate and bank accounts held only in the name of the deceased, while others do not, such as life insurance policies or retirement plans payable directly to named beneficiaries. If you die with assets in your name alone, then an estate must be opened in order to transfer these assets to your beneficiaries. Your estate will be opened with the Probate Court in the county in which you died. Usually, your surviving spouse or children will file a Petition For Administration with the Court, and the Court will then issue Letters of Administration appointing a Personal Representative or multiple Personal Representatives.
