About Michael
Legal issues usually arise at the worst possible time. We understand that you have other priorities, and that you need someone who can take care of your legal problem with the least possible disruption to you and your family. We can help you with your legal needs. This page explains our firm's practice areas so you can learn more about your legal issues. Let Michael J. MacLellan, Esq., lend you a hand with your case.
Business Organizations and Transactions
Legal issues and pitfalls abound at every stage of a business's existence, from the initial start-up to dissolution or sale of the company. It is important to have expert legal counsel assist you right from the beginning, when you are deciding on a business form (corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or another business entity), as well as further down the road. At The Law Firm of Michael J. MacLellan, Esq., as an experienced business lawyer, I will help you deal with the almost endless variety of legal matters that will, sooner or later, arise when you do business. From buy-sell agreements, joint ventures, and liability issues to mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and business successions, you need intelligent advice that will promote your success. I can tell you not only what the law requires, but also how you can seize opportunities and avoid problems in your business.
Family Law
Family law matters can be emotionally draining, particularly when children are involved. Divorce, custody, and support all concern the most basic human relationships: husband and wife and parent and child. When a family law issue occurs, it is important to remember that these are legal relationships, as well as emotional bonds. You have rights and responsibilities in those relationships that will be protected or enforced by the court. You must not let yourself be blinded by the emotions involved so that you neglect the many difficult legal issues that will arise in a family law case. If you are facing a divorce, child custody or visitation, support, or another family-related legal issue, you need expert legal assistance to protect your rights.
Probate/Estate Planning and Administration
It may be hard to think about how your family would deal with your affairs and finances after you pass away, but it is essential to do so. Estate planning allows you to impact the future by directing how you would like your property and assets distributed upon your death. Without proper planning, your estate could go to the government or to people who you did not choose. At Michael J. MacLellan, Esq., I can assist you in making informed decisions about your estate. For existing estates, you and your family may have to go through the probate system, which allows the courts to oversee the distribution of a loved one's assets. The probate process is easier on all involved if the correct planning has been done in advance. Let us help you with that process.
Real Estate
Real estate is a major investment, and can cause major headaches. If you are selling a house or buying a house or a business property, we can help. My firm can draft or review purchase agreements and closing documents to smooth your transaction. We can confirm that there is good title to the property and verify that there are no disputes about ownership or boundaries. I can make sure that any transaction complies with local and state property and environmental rules so that there are no unwelcome surprises as the deal moves forward. I also help clients with construction defects, commercial leases, and property disclosure and condition
