The Eugene, Oregon, law firm of James W.

County, including the communities of Springfield, and Florence along with
central Oregon, for over 33 years.
Serious and important legal issues require the services
of a serious and competent attorney – like Oregon attorney James W.
Hoffman. Mr. Hoffman prides himself on providing personal service to
his clients. As a sole practitioner, he handles each file personally,
ensuring that you benefit from his extensive experience. Our
practice includes services for matters related to:
Business
Law
Choosing the proper business entity is a critical
decision that can have a lasting impact on the success of your business
for years to come. Our firm can advice you as to the benefits and
detriments of the various business forms – including partnerships,
corporations, and limited liability companies (LLCs). We provide
skilled advice and representation for topics related to preparation of
contracts and agreements, sale and purchase of businesses, directors’ and
officers’ liability, dissolution, joint ventures, mergers, acquisitions,
divestitures, business successions, and shareholder, member rights
and business
formation.
We also represent our business clients in disputes,
formation of contracts, and collection matters.
The quality of our representation is perhaps best
reflected in the fact that a great number of our clients have been with us
for many, many years. Clients who came to our firm at the inception
of their business with questions related to choice of entity, are now
thriving and utilizing our services to protect their interests and
maximize their opportunities. We primarily utilize refferals in our
firm rather than advertising and thus are able to keep our costs low.
Estate
Planning
Our experienced estate planning services include
legal advice and representation for subjects related to Wills, trusts,
planning funeral arrangements, power of attorney, advanced directives,
conservatorships, and guardianships. We account for all topics,
including tax, insurance, and property issues, to ensure an individual’s
assets are distributed efficiently, and in accordance with their
wishes.
We also advise you as to how to avoid estate taxes and
probate.
Our firm also assists clients throughout the probate
process. Probate is
the process by which a Will is validated and the estate of the deceased is
administered. The process includes collecting the deceased’s assets,
paying taxes and other liabilities, and distributing any remaining
property to heirs.
 Elder
Law
An extension of estate planning, elder law includes
situations such as planning for long-term care, retirement decisions, and
creating effective trusts. Wills, living Wills, powers of attorney
and trusts are all useful tools in elder law.
Our firm accounts for all considerations, including asset
distribution goals, gift and income taxes, business succession, asset
protection, and charitable gifting options.
We use both revocable and irrevocable trusts, durable
power of attorney, living Wills, irrevocable life insurance trusts, family
limited partnerships or LLCs, and charitable remainder or lead trusts to
help our clients achieve their goals.
We also assist clients in establishing guardianships
and/or conservatorships for incapacitated or disabled adults, and for
minors, frequently representing family members in court to establish a
guardianship and/or conservatorship.
 Real
Estate
Our firm provides experienced representation and
guidance to both individuals and commercial clients in all matters
involving real estate, including matters related to purchase and sale,
financing, construction, mortgages, trust deeds, liens and foreclosures,
leases, quiet title actions, closings, management, and landlord-tenant
matters.
Whether you require the services
of a skilled estate planning attorney, a compassionate elder law advocate,
a knowledgeable business law lawyer, or a savvy real estate
lawyer, contact Oregon attorney James W. Hoffman today. You
can trust in our experience to protect you and your interests.
