Practice Areas

Bankruptcy: Consumer and Small Business

Filing for bankruptcy is not a reflection on you as a person or business. Perhaps you owe more on your home than what it is worth and you are struggling to make the payments. Perhaps you cannot get your mortgage modified. 

Korb/Law is a bankruptcy law firm that is different. We understand that people facing bankruptcy often feel anxious, bullied and stressed in the face of overwhelming debt, creditor harassment, lawsuits, and foreclosures. We believe each client (and each case) is different and that your needs must be carefully analyzed and all options presented. Whether you are considering Chapter 7, Chapter 13, loan modification, short sales, debt negotiation or other options, we will take the time to determine the best solution for you and your situation.

OTHER PRACTICE AREAS  

Business Law: Contract Negotiation & Dispute Resolution              

We also help individuals and business owners with a host of business-related issues including drafting and negotiating contracts, licenses and commercial leases; resolving business, real estate and contractor disputes; resolving unfair competition & unfair business practice issues; drafting and negotiating and resolving issues concerning non-compete, non-solicitation and trade secrets clauses; resolving business and real estate fraud, partnership disputes, business bankruptcy, and much more.

When business disputes do arise, it is important to hire a litigator & negotiator who not only has the experience and credentials, but who also understands the economic impact of litigation. Business disputes can disrupt critical relationships both inside and outside the company. Your lawyer needs to consider the overall impact on your business, and be able to advise you as the best strategy to help you avoid expensive litigation. At the same time, your attorney should have the court experience to

aggressively represent you in court when settlement is not an option.  Our practice  includes representation of clients involved in business dissolution, breach of contract claims; fraud, unfair competition claims, unfair trade or business practices, disagreements between partners, LLP member disputes, or shareholders,  trade secrets disputes involving former employees or employers; business torts such as breach of fiduciary duty; business dissolution, wrongful termination and real estate fraud.

 Family & Divorce Law: Full and Limited Representation

Unfortunately, bankruptcy and financial disputes often lead to marital stress. Korb/Law also counsels and represents parties in family law matters and divorce matters, including, but not limited to marital dissolution, premarital agreements, property division, child custody and visitation proceedings, actions for spousal and child support. We offer full representation or limited representation, advice and counsel (where you only want to hire a lawyer for certain aspects of your case) sometimes called “unbundled services.”

Some legal matters are too important to  be handled by an  inexperienced associate or legal assistant. Richard Korb has personally handled hundreds of cases in and out of court and he will personally handle yours.
