PRACTICE AREAS

PROTECTING YOUR RIGHTS

FAMILY LAW

“Rebuilding Your Life in the 'New Normal'.”

There is nothing more devastating than the breakup of a family.

There are so many things to consider, many times in the context of extreme emotion and hostility. A party to a dissolution has to be diligent to protect his or her rights, tough and at the same time smart and practical; and always remember that there are no “winners” in family law proceedings.

Parents always have to seek the best interests of their children over their self-interests and work towards solutions in moving forward towards resolution of the issues in the case.

You must have an attorney with real-life experience and legal knowledge to rely on to navigate through the dangerous waters of Divorce Court.

Carl Lindstrom makes it a point that you are “heard” and are informed of all you will face in a dissolution, taking head-on the issues of custody, support, property division and other issues, for you to achieve your best results.


PROBATE LITIGATION

“Where there’s a Will, there’s a Relative.”

Passing on one’s legacy to his or her loved one is of major importance to all of us, as death is inevitable and impossible to avoid. Making certain that a decedent’s wishes are respected and properly carried out is a priority for family members. This has taken on even more importance given the increase in the financial value of real and personal property and the need to provide for intended heirs. LINDSTROM Law Offices has handled complex situations with Trusts and Probate Estates to protect the rights of beneficiaries and to ensure that there is as smooth a transfer of assets to the intended beneficiaries, in spite of attacks on trustees, administers/executors and other beneficiaries.

Carl Lindstrom understands that given the length of time that it takes to wind up an estate, it is important to have an attorney who can ensure that the proper formalities are in place and that steps can be taken to properly preserve and dispose of assets to achieve the goals of the dearly departed.


REAL ESTATE LAW AND LITIGATION

“Protect the biggest investment you will make in your life.”

There is nothing more devastating than the breakup of a family.

For many of us, buying a home is the single largest investment that we will make in our lives. Issues with closing escrow, inspections, liens, deed restrictions, insurance claims, legal title, zoning and permits are potential areas of conflict that need the attention of an attorney who has the experience to identify potential issues and promptly deal with them.

Carl Lindstrom understands that each residential or commercial real estate transaction has its own personality, with unique issues and nuances that must be addressed and overcome with the assistance of the right attorney, in a transaction or litigation scenario.

His experience and knowledge with these transactions will greatly enhance a client’s ability to get the best result possible under the circumstances.


EMPLOYMENT LAW

“Protecting Your Rights at the Workplace.”

One of the most important relationships in a person’s life is between an employee and his or her employer.

Both employers and employees need to understand their rights and responsibilities to each other under the law and their employment contract.

Both must respect each other and be willing to achieve a “win-win” situation at the workplace by conducting themselves in such a manner that they pursue mutually-beneficial goals that are rewarded by their hard work and dependability with fair and legal compensation and suitable work productivity.

Both must emphasize communication to minimize misunderstandings and lead to a more productive work environment.

Both need to understand ways to minimize / mitigate disputes between each other. Federal, State and Local government have established laws and regulations that detail the rights and responsibilities that employees and employers have in the workplace.

Unfortunately, either intentionally or unwittingly, employers may violate employee’s rights. This is harmful to both an employee and the employer. If an employer has violated your rights in the workplace, or you feel your employee is not meeting their work responsibilities, your next move should be to contact an employment attorney who is well-versed in employment law.

Carl Lindstrom has represented private sector employees in Court and public sector employees in Administrative and Court Proceedings regarding issues of termination, demotions, wage disputes, discrimination, harassment, retaliation and other areas of employment law.

Carl Lindstrom has also represented small business employers in all areas of dealing with their employees and handling employment claims made against employers.


TRANSACTIONS

“A successful financial transaction is only as good as the parties and instruments involved and the process employed to close it.”

Putting together and implementing a business or banking transaction takes technical skills and expertise. It is essential to the success of a transaction that all parties and sources of monies, negotiable instruments and other tangible assets are properly vetted and structured to complete a transaction.

Lindstrom Law Office has experience with both domestic and international transactions, including banking transactions as an attorney and paymaster. You can be assured of appropriate transparency and accountability for all involved with such transactions.


BUSINESS LAW AND LITIGATION

“Any business transaction requires certain formalities to ensure its success and enforceability.”

At Lindstrom Law Offices, Carl Lindstrom draws on his extensive experience in business, the courts and the community to delve into your issues, from forming a business, establishing a proper structure, detailing the rights and responsibilities of the involved persons/entities, to identifying areas of disagreement over business contracts, disputes and areas of liability or recovery by the person or business, to pursue a successful course of action for you with your full participation.

If you are considering entering into a business relationship, it is important that you have the proper formalities in place. This means that you have to properly position the parties to the business or transaction and make certain that the documentation is legally sufficient to be enforceable.

While there are a number of sources of information that a person can draw from, it is prudent to have an experienced attorney review your business plan or transaction in advance of entering into it.

In the event that your transaction has not gone as planned, Lindstrom Law Offices can help you to obtain the relief you are entitled to or defend you as to the terms of your contract or relationship through the Courts, Arbitration or Mediation.
