Counsel for the decisions that stay with a family.
Hale Prior is a three-lawyer office. We take family matters, estates, closely held businesses, and the real estate that goes with them. You talk to the lawyer who will do the work.
Matters we take.
Practice areasFamily
Divorce, parenting plans, and support. We start by listing what has to be decided and which dates are already on the calendar.
Miriam Hale and Lena Cho
Estates
Wills, trusts, and the administration of an estate after a death. We write the documents in plain language and walk through who is responsible for what.
Miriam Hale
Business
Formation, owner agreements, and contracts for companies with a handful of owners. We do not do securities work or ongoing outside-general-counsel retainers.
Andre Prior
Real estate
Purchases, sales, and disputes tied to a family asset or a small company. Title review and the closing documents are part of the same matter.
