“Getting the best result when it counts the most.”

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 AND LITIGATION

“Protecting Your Rights at the Workplace.”

A healthy workplace depends on clarity, fairness, and respect. Both employers and employees must understand their rights and responsibilities under federal, state, and local laws.

A strong employment relationship is built on three pillars:

1. Proper Structure — Clear Employer Policies

Workplace policies must be lawful, well defined, and easy to understand.

2. Effective Process — Practices That Implement Those Policies

Policies only work when supported by consistent, practical procedures.

3. Fair Application — Equal, Lawful, and Consistent Enforcement

Expectations must be met by policies and practices being applied fairly and in compliance with Federal, State and local law.

Even with the best structure, process, and application, disputes can arise. Employers may violate employee rights; employees may face allegations of failing to meet workplace expectations. When this happens, experienced legal guidance is essential.

Carl Lindstrom represents federal employees before the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission, the Merit Systems Protection Board, the California Civil Rights Department, Labor Commission/Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, and Employment Development Department small business employers in matters involving:

• Wrongful Termination

• Discrimination

• Harassment

• Retaliation

• Violence at the Workplace

• Wage and hour disputes

• Unemployment Benefit Appeals

• Whistleblower claims

• Other workplace violations

Whether you are protecting your rights or responding to a claim, Carl provides practical, strategic representation to help you move forward.

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 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.
