Practice Areas
No matter what legal challenge you are faced with, you can be confident that our attorneys will settle for nothing less than results that are in your best interest. At the law firm of Stephenson Rife, we have been meeting the needs of people throughout Indiana since 1976.
Business Law
At Stephenson Rife, our business attorneys help you make the most of your company. State and federal laws set rules for businesses. We educate our clients about the boundaries established by those rules so they can avoid legal disputes. Our business lawyers also can defend your business against legal claims by individuals, other companies, and government agencies.
Estate Planning
There are many tools in the estate planning attorney’s toolbox, including wills and trusts. Estate administration is managing the estate of someone who passed away. After debts and taxes are paid, what remains is distributed according to state law or a will. Stephenson Rife is here to be your family’s trusted advisor in important estate planning matters impacting you and your loved ones.
Personal Injury
Personal injury involves mental and physical injuries to a person caused by someone else’s negligence; such harm may be severe enough to result in death. If you or a loved one has been injured due to the negligence or fault of someone else, a personal injury lawyer in Shelbyville can help you get compensation for your losses, such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Real Estate Planning
Real estate is all about potential, and with the help of a Stephenson Rife real estate attorney, that potential can be reached. Real estate law often involves a change in ownership or the development of property into something new. Our clients want a new chapter for a house, commercial building or piece of land, and our real estate lawyers help them write it.
