October is National Estate Planning Month and a great opportunity to highlight the importance of keeping your estate plan up to date. Many people assume that once an estate plan is completed, it is something they can set aside indefinitely.

In reality, estate planning is an ongoing process that should evolve as your life, family, finances, and goals change. Swipe through to learn more.

If you would like to discuss your existing plan, review your documents, or explore potential updates, please contact us. We would be happy to help.

Understanding the difference between civil and criminal cases can make a big impact if you’re preparing for court.

In simple terms, criminal cases involve actions considered offenses against the state, like theft or assault. These cases are typically prosecuted by the government and may result in penalties such as fines, probation, or jail time.

Civil cases, on the other hand, usually involve disputes between individuals or businesses—like contracts, property issues, or personal injury claims. The goal is often to resolve the dispute and may result in compensation or specific actions rather than criminal penalties.

Knowing which type of case you’re dealing with helps you understand your rights, important deadlines, and what outcomes to expect.

If you have legal questions or aren’t sure where your situation falls, our team at Norfolk Law, LLC is here to help. Reach out to learn more.

Volunteering has a tremendous impact on our community. Without individuals who are willing to give their time and resources, many local charities and nonprofits could not operate.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of volunteering with several organizations, including the Ireland Lions, VFW Post 673, Jasper Knights of Columbus, American Legion Post 124, Disabled American Veterans, Ireland Sportsman Club, and the Navy Club. Additionally, I have served through the PTO, our local church, and as a youth sports coach for wrestling, football, and baseball.

Having proudly served our country and continuing to serve our community professionally, I firmly believe in the importance of giving back to the community that has given me so many blessings.

I look forward to continuing to serve Dubois County as your Dubois Circuit Court Judge.
Your support is greatly appreciated. 🇺🇸
