Business Formation
We are here to help you navigate the complex process of business formation and incorporation. Let us explain how the system works and provide you with the legal tools and advice to watch your business grow beyond your expectations.
Business Disputes
Although it is possible to form a business through incorporation services like LegalZoom or Rocket Lawyer, it is important to remember that incorporation services do not provide legal advice and cannot provide their customers with legal analysis on the important entity selection issues that each start-up company faces. This analysis can only be provided by a competent business law attorney. We provide our clients with this analysis and also help our clients with preparing and filing the paperwork necessary to form and organize a Michigan and Florida business entity.
Business Transactions
Purchase and sale contracts, bills of sale, franchise agreements, disclosure documents, licensing, distribution and other forms of transactional legal services

Real Estate Transactions
A real estate purchase is likely the most important and substantial financial decision of your life. Whether you are a first time home buyer or experienced investor, each transaction is unique and risk is always present. Fortunately, the experienced staff at McCarty Law Offices, PLC will provide you with the most up to date and comprehensive transactional legal services available at an affordable rate.
Estate planning is the process of identifying and cataloging each item that makes up an individual’s estate, and then establishing legal safeguards to protect those items during the individual’s lifetime.
We provide the kind of hands on involvement which is necessary to successfully represent your needs in the acquisition, development, leasing, and sale of your future property. Furthermore, our staff can effectively represent your interests and help to protect your property from creditors in the event of default due to missed payments. Waiting to address these issues will likely lead to foreclosure proceedings, adverse credit, and eventual loss of real estate. Our office represents clients not only in residential properties, but also commercial properties. Contact McCarty Law Offices, PLC today to schedule a free 30 minute consultation to discuss your real estate needs.
Tax Law
Established in 1990, McCarty Law Offices, PLC has served the community for over thirty years. Areas of practice include estate planning, probate, tax law and real estate. Effective service within those areas of practice requires traversing multiple legal disciplines. For this reason, our staff has developed expertise in asset protection, succession planning and non-traditional family estate planning to offer services supplemental to our primary areas of practice.
