Child Custody and Visitation
While not a favorite moment in life, divorces often are the only resolution to a difficult relationship. As just a sampling of things that arise in this area of law include: adoptions, divorces, prenuptial agreements, post-nuptial agreements, DROs & QDROs, settlement agreements, child custody agreements, guardianships, and other family law matters.
Adoption
Premarital Agreement
Guardianship
Elder law includes a lot of different areas of law, collected together in one grouping. Typical topic areas include: healthcare, estate planning, guardianship planning, elder abuse issues, financial planning, and just about everything in-between, including working with loved ones during challenging times.

Criminal Law

Criminal Defense
DUI/DWI
When facing a DUI, it helps to get the advice of an attorney as to how to proceed. For many first-time drunk driving offenders, the courts have programs that can be advantageous. Entering a DUI Deferred Prosecution program is, what in other states, is termed a DUI diversion program. With the DUI Deferred Prosecution program, there are classes and other requirements, including an ignition interlock device on any car driven during the deferred prosecution period. Many defendants prefer to have an attorney speak for them, in court and with negotiations with the prosecutor, rather than trying to do it alone.
Traffic Violations
There is more at stake for a commercial truck driver when it comes to tickets. If a client's case has an argument that has legal merit, I can often help in making that argument before the prosecution.
Misdemeanors
When charged with a crime, an immediate goal is to get the help of an attorney who can protect your rights. My practice is mostly limited to misdemeanor charges, although felony cases that should ultimately only result in misdemeanor pleas fall into this category.

Business and Corporate Law

Business Formation
Forming a business involves a choice of ownership types. Without making a choice, the business typically defaults to a sole proprietorship or a partnership, depending on the number of owners. For small businesses, the better business practice is to form an LLC (Limited Liability Company) or to incorporate with an S Corporation or a C Corporation. Picking the right business structure is best done with the consultation of an attorney and an accountant.
Business Disputes
For business owners, the aid of an attorney can be required for many aspects of running a business. Beyond formation concerns, running a business requires staying in compliance with governmental laws and regulations. Employee issues can trigger a need for an attorney. Intellectual property topics (i.e., copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and patents) can arise, either as a protection of corporate assets or as a response from a demand letter for infringement.
Trade Secrets
Intellectual Property

Employment Law

Employment Contract
Complying with employment laws and regulations is only one aspect of employment law. Mistakes can be made in the handling of employee issues. My focus is primarily on the employer side. Complying with FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) and more specifically Washington's FLA requires an employer to stay abreast of the law. Typical topic areas include employment contracts, intellectual property agreements, non-compete agreements, day-to-day employment issues, and other employment related issues.
Employment Litigation
Non-compete Agreement

Property Law

Real Estate Litigation
His favorite area of law is estate planning and real estate law, but as a general practitioner, he handles many facets of law.
Real Estate Transactions
Many issues can arise from the ownership of real property. The practice of real estate law overlaps at time with other areas of law, including family law, estate planning, probate, and other situations where the creation of a deed is required. Other issues that arise in the area of real estate law include: easements, prescriptive easements, easements by necessity, easements by implication, adverse possession, trespass, encroachments, lot line disputes, trees, fences, surveying issues, water rights, and issues with the city and county. Other planned issues include real estate sales contracts, title paperwork review, for-sale-by-owner documents, and other documents associated with the sale of property.
Easement
Landlord-Tenant Disputes
Early on, I learned to pick a side when it comes to landlord and tenant arguments. I picked the landlords. This means that I help landlords with evictions, should things rise to that level. But, it also means that I work with landlords to craft leases that comply with the law and attempt to avoid issues that might lead one day to an eviction. Getting a Writ of Restitution involves multiple steps that could be undermined by tenants armed with the power of Google. It's important to get the notices and later the summons in proper form.

Health Law

Personal Injury
Whether injured in an automobile accident, or otherwise personally injured, working against the insurance companies can often be a pain. Many times, a self-represented individual never gets past the claims adjuster. Often, it's not until an actual case is filed with Jefferson County Superior Court does the insurance company loosen its pockets with a decent settlement offer. Whether, as a plaintiff, the client chooses to accept the settlement offers that are presented, always remains the choice of the client. Sometimes, one has to go to trial. In this area of law, the payment of fees to the attorney is only made from a percentage of the proceeds received.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Practicing law in a small town requires versatility. Practicing law on the Olympic Peninsula has extra challenges. Many issues require a visit to Jefferson County Superior Court or Jefferson County District Court. Other issues, like Estate Planning and Real Property law, can be handled in the law office. Mr. Freeze will work diligently to give you the representation you desire.

Trusts
Sometimes, clients require a special needs trust, to take care of a loved one, but with a "trustee" making sure that the money is given to the loved one without problems from others (i.e., creditors, not ruining government benefits, etc.).
Power of Attorney
Wills & Trusts (e.g., last will and testament, codicil, revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts, living will, power of attorney, advanced medical directive, HIPAA waiver, etc.)
Probate

Finance Law

Tax Law
When tax issues arise, an attorney often gets involved for laser-focused inquiries into a particular line item or tax position. This is different than preparing taxes and often involves a team of both the tax preparer and an attorney.
