COVID-19 Relief for Small Businesses SBA Loans to Maintain Payroll
Beginning April 3, 2020, SBA lenders will begin lending under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which authorizes up to $349 billion in forgivable loans to small businesses.

Be Legally Prepared for Covid-19
With our collective and overriding concern about the Covid-19 virus, I thought it imperative to discuss the importance of preparedness. While much of estate planning concerns what will happen to your assets after you pass away, perhaps more important now is what happens if you become too ill to manage your own life. That too is part of estate planning.

A lawyer who makes you feel comfortable!
“Susan helped my grandfather with his will & estate. We had several meetings with three generations of our family at the table, each time Susan answered all of our questions, provided a view on pros and cons and drafted several options so our family could confidently make a decision. She was prompt in her communication, avoided jargon and was attentive to detail. Shortly after, I looked to Susan for advice on a new business venture; she was equally as helpful with those matters. I would highly recommend her!” Read More
