Focused, Honest and Respectful Legal Representation
The problem with being a general practice law firm is that it is hard to do everything — and do it all well. The problem with being a specialty practice law firm is that attorneys may do one thing very well — but not be able to provide quality legal advice in other areas.
At Van Gilder & Trzynka, we feel that we have achieved the best of both worlds. Our legal practice areas include a few of the most common legal needs, such as Personal Injury, Family Law or Wills and Estates. We also have developed a few specific focus areas that meet the needs of clients in the Fort Wayne, New Haven and Churubusco communities.
Legal Focus Areas
Our lawyers are committed to providing affordable and effective legal services in the areas of law listed below.
- Social Security Disability — If you have been denied a Social Security Disability claim, or need help filing for initial benefits, we are here to help. Should your request for benefits be denied, we can file an appeal for reconsideration of the issue.
- Medicaid planning — We help families and individuals find asset-protection strategies that will not jeopardize access to future government benefits like Medicaid.
- Environmental Issues and Land Use — When wetland preservation or the protection of a protected/endangered species is at odds with housing or retail development, our attorneys can help you work out a legal agreement that serves both purposes.
- Immigration law — Our attorneys help individuals and families in Indiana who wish to either bring family members into the United States, or help those already here seeking to remain longer.
- Business Formations and Collections — We offer legal advice for sole proprietors and small family-run businesses that seek to incorporate, and also help existing small businesses that have collection issues.
- Personal Injury — Our law firm will represent any individual who has been injured in any type of motor vehicle accident, because of an injury on someone else's property, or because of a defective product or machine.
- Workers' Compensation — If you have been injured or even disabled due to an on-the-job accident (or repetitive motion injury), we can help you navigate the complex Workers' Compensation system and get the benefits you deserve.
- Family law — Our attorneys help individuals find cost-effective remedies when clients are faced with divorce, or have other disputes related to child custody, child support, spousal support and other family related legal issues.
- Wills, estates, guardianships — Our law firm will either draft your legal documents, or take your case to court in cases of contested wills or trusts and can also act as (or help the court appoint) a legal guardian for a vulnerable child or adult.
- Real estate law — Our law firm helps individuals and small businesses with several of their real estate litigation needs including contract disputes. We have prepared answers to some commonly asked real estate law questions.
