Areas of Practice


Family

Family cases are emotionally charged and fast paced.  We are here to help navigate divorce, child custody, alimony, child support, parenting plans and paternity issues.  Family changes are difficult, and require sound planning and advice.  In addition to litigation of marital and family issues, we also provide family mediation services, and Ms. Innes Richardson is collaboratively trained.  


probate and estate

Family legacies are profoundly personal.   We can help you ensure that your Will, your estate plan and your health care directives are up-to-date, especially after a change in your family structure.  Divorce, adoption and marriage all implicate your unique family legacy.  That’s why we offer these services.  


CIVIL LAW

Civil law is a broad area of litigation.  It can encompass cases which center on property claims, accidents or injuries, banking, collections, contracts or other matters.  If you need help with a civil matter, please contact us to see if it is something we can help with.  If it isn't, I'm happy to suggest another lawyer or law firm and make that introduction personally.


BUSINESS STRATEGY

The startup and small business marketplace is still a new and fierce frontier that requires legal advice from an attorney who understands the small business dynamic and the demands being a small business owner puts upon you and your family. We suggest an holistic approach, so your company can get the best competitive advantage and you can remain healthy and productive.


construction

For the past fifteen years, Ms. Innes Richardson litigated complex construction claims, defending design professionals, engineers, geotechs and contractors.  She has the experience and the industry knowledge to represent you or your firm in a construction dispute or to provide critical advice to you as you are evaluating your options.                         


FArm and equine law

Farm and equine/animal law is near and dear to Ms. Innes Richardson.  As an avid equestrian for 50+ years, she knows the ins and outs of breeding, sales, fractional ownership agreements, leases and farm or instructor liability and waivers.  She has experience with rescues, for-profits and associations, including USEA/FEI disputes. If it has four legs and fur, we can probably help you with it.
