Trials and Appeals

KORB TUCKER PLLC represents a wide array of clients in general civil, real estate, probate, insurance claims, business, premises liability, and construction litigation.  We both prosecute and defend lawsuits and will represent you at all levels of your claim, including pre-suit disputes and negotiations, litigation, and appellate work.  We:

• Understand that litigation can be very costly – both emotionally and financially – and thus we will provide an early and forthright assessment of your claim or defense.
• Engage all administrative remedies and opportunities for settlement pre-suit, if possible.
• Prepare pleadings, motions, and other documents necessary to champion your position and discover the weaknesses of your adversary’s claim or defense.
• Provide skillful written and oral advocacy in small claims, county court, district court, and appellate courts. 
• Have a strong reputation within the legal community and rely on a collective 45 years of practical experience to effectively represent you before the court or jury.

We strongly advocate dispute resolution and settlement of claims outside of our court system.  Indeed, the vast majority of cases will settle before they go to trial.  We will aggressively litigate those select cases that cannot be resolved and continue our advocacy through any appeals following trial.

 

 

Wills, Estate Planning and Probate

KORB TUCKER PLLC understands that estate planning typically comprises a broad range of decisions and actions.  We will help you by:

• Identifying your goals, such as the care and support of children; benefiting a surviving spouse, partner, or friend; managing potential estate tax liability; or passing a family business to the next generation.
• Appointing others to act on your behalf, including personal representatives (executors), trustees, guardians, conservators, or agents under medical or financial powers of attorney.
• Directing the kinds of actions to be taken by those persons, from financial or medical decision-making to the protection and distribution of assets.
• Documenting your decisions with tools like wills, revocable trusts, life insurance trusts, medical directives, powers of attorney, family partnerships, business buy-sell agreements, and many others.
• Representing and advocating your interests as beneficiary or fiduciary in litigation arising from probate disputes.

We take seriously our role as "counselors at law." Every estate plan we create is customized to your needs and circumstances. We provide the expertise you need to make well-informed decisions and to put them into action.
