Fehseke & Gray Law Offices

Guardianship
We routinely prepare and advise clients regarding simple and complex wills, guardianships, trusts, generation-skipping transfers and charitable gifts.

Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
Mergers and Acquisitions
Inevitably, things change. Whether motivated by the desire to start a new business, the growth or expansion of an existing business, efforts to simplify business structures, the need to raise funds, or changes in the law, we help our clients meet the need for change with business start ups, fundraising, sales of companies, acquiring and combining businesses and structuring financing. Whether you are a sole proprietor, partnership, limited liability company, corporation or any other business entity, we recognize every business transaction is unique such that even the most sophisticated clients will eventually be faced with questions and issues they may have never considered before. We help our clients explore strategic directions for their business and the advantages, disadvantages and limitations of potential transactions. We bring the same practical approach, creativity and commitment to each business undertaking that we bring to each client that places its trust in our office.
Business Transactions
Our commercial transaction practice focuses on business relationships among customers, suppliers, manufacturers, strategic partners, financiers and other key constituents. Our sophisticated understanding of the legal issues and business implications arising in these complex relationships enhances our ability to address problems proactively, manage risk and react quickly and effectively to changing, often crisis-driven situations. We represent clients on matters governed by the Uniform Commercial Code and related to complex purchase and sale agreements, financing agreements, the creation and perfection of security interests, lease agreements, development agreements and financing agreements. We regularly help clients negotiate and draft terms and conditions of purchase and sale, distribution agreements, warehousing agreements, equipment leasing agreements, management agreements and outsourcing agreements. We have represented private and publicly traded companies with many complex legal transactions and can distill the most complicated transaction into core components that our clients can understand and make work.
Limited Liability Companies
Setting up and handling family limited partnerships and limited liability companies (a way to isolate potential liability with respect to certain assets, make dispositions of fractional interests to a younger generation, allow continued management and control of assets during the client’s lifetime and provide for continued family ownership and management of the assets) and tax-exempt charitable family foundations (to make lifetime and testamentary deductible charitable bequests and establish a charitable family legacy that can be managed by future generations).

Wrongful Termination
Should a dental hygienist who was fired by her boss for being irresistibly attractive have a case for wrongful termination? What about an employee who reported illegal business practices and was fired just days later?
Employment Discrimination
While a wrongful termination case is difficult to prove, it is possible and can entitle an employee to damages. Take Paul Blakeslee for example, an employee of Shaw Environment and Infrastructure. In 2013, a federal jury awarded $3.5 million to Blakeslee after he reported that his regional manager was conducting illegal business practices. His manager fired him just days after he sent his report to the company’s CEO, claiming that his position was being eliminated to save money. The company investigated Blakeslee’s claims and fired the regional manager. But Shaw refused to bring Blakeslee back to work, so he sued the company for age discrimination and retaliation. In March 2013, a jury awarded Blakeslee $3.5 million in damages, saying he had been fired in part because of his age and in retaliation for his report.

Real Estate Litigation
We represent landlords, tenants, home sellers, home buyers, investors, institutional banking and mortgage lenders, builders and developers. We understand that no matter how you are involved with a real estate project, you want an attorney that can meet your objectives as efficiently and effectively as possible. Our attorneys have handled thousands of real estate matters. Call on us if your needs can be described as involving...
Construction Litigation
Whether your businesses are family-oriented (like ours) or whether you are involved with the construction of a home, a public facility or a large commercial facility, we can help you. We have broad knowledge and experience in almost every area of construction law and offer innovative advice, assistance and representation to clients through all phases of construction from initial planning and development to contract formation and performance. Over the years, we have also participated in all types of dispute resolution from arbitration to class actions. The right approach to a problem typically determines the financial success of a construction project. We know that, we know how important it is to our clients, and we continue to stake our reputation on our clients’ successes.
Eminent Domain
Land Use and Zoning
Property Damage
What you “do not need,” we do for a living. We can take care of every aspect of a personal injury case from property damage to subrogation. And with contingency fees available (typically based on one-third of a client’s recovery), you do not have to worry about paying for expensive legal fees if your case turns out to be one that does not merit compensation.

Personal Injury
When you are hurt, you need to concentrate on getting better. You do not need to keep track of who paid what for each of your bills, who wrote off what portion of your bill, or who you must pay back if you are able to hold responsible the person who hurt you. You also do not need to try to get better on the one hand while trying to convince a barely respectful, highly skeptical insurance adjuster that you actually were hurt on the other (as opposed to faking – which appears to be the “go to” defense nearly every time).
Medical Malpractice
Mistakes happen. They happen at work, on highways and in hospitals. When they happen at work or on the highway, a little common sense is typically all that is needed to recognize them. When they happen in a hospital or a doctor’s office, they are much harder to identify – but no less (and oftentimes even more) devastating. We can help identify those mistakes and determine whether they are the kind of mistakes that justify legal action. We can also help identify when they are not mistakes at all but just “poor outcomes” – thus helping you avoid unwittingly going forward with expensive and time-consuming litigation with little odds of success.
Dog Bites
Of course, no one is disputing the deep companionship and loyalty dogs provide to millions of Americans. But safety advocates and dog experts say more can be done to prevent dog bites. You should know how you or your children can avoid dog bites, your responsibilities as a dog owner and your rights if you or someone close has suffered a dog bite injury.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Planning for the future and anticipating the questions of tomorrow can alleviate the burden of taxes that can challenge – or even cripple – the financial health of commercial or personal clients in the event of a loss. New legislation regarding tax issues and financial matters can pose great challenges to you and your business. Before meeting with us, many of our clients failed to realize how many strategies were available to save costs or to appreciate the risks they took by putting off such a meeting. Our tax law and estate planning practice can help you take advantage of the opportunities out there and avoid what seem to be an ever-growing number of pitfalls.
Wills
Whether to have a will, a trust – or nothing at all is an issue that everyone who owns something should decide. And whether your ‘something’ is everything you ever wanted or only what you need, we recommend that you work with us to learn what will happen to your possessions after you are gone, decide how you might want to change that, and, while you are at it – what you can do to help the people you leave behind avoid as many taxes, attorney fees and court costs as possible. Of all the services we provide to our clients, peace of mind and confidence that an estate will be well handled is one of the most valuable.
Trusts
In the recent past, elder law has developed as a specialized area of law to address all the needs of one of our country’s most valuable resources – its seniors. Whether you consider yourself “aged,” “senior,” or simply “aging,” we have the knowledge and resources to help you understand the changing laws surrounding advanced directives (powers of attorney), living wills, guardianships, conservatorships, medicaid qualifying trusts and special needs trusts.
