Kurtz & Augenlicht offers a wide variety of legal services. If you are wondering what kind of help you need, click on one of our main areas of practice below for some helpful information.

Small Business/Nonprofit

Starting and running a small business is complicated, with forms, disclosures and registrations at every level of government. Despite all this paperwork, many small businesses and nonprofits can't afford the rates that law firms charge. With our low rates, we can provide much-needed services to businesses that need legal assistance, but don't have a huge budget.

Bankruptcy/Consumer Protection

When you are in over your head, there is no reason to keep throwing good money after bad. Bankruptcy offers a fresh start for people with crippling debt, but it is a complex process that requires legal expertise to navigate. Kurtz & Augenlicht can work with you to ensure that your slate is wiped as clean as possible. If you are not thinking of bankruptcy, we can still help protect you from creditor harassment and help keep the debt collectors off your back.

Criminal/Traffic

If you or someone you know is in trouble with the law, you need someone who understands how the system works to stand up for you. From DUIs to serious felonies, we will work hard from the start to finish to get you the best possible outcome.

Estate Planning and Litigation

Family Law and Divorce Mediation

Divorce is a sensitive topic and should never be taken lightly. Sadly, many divorces become petty, vicious fights where assets and children are used as bargaining chips. We work to make divorce as non-hostile as possible, by representing our clients in a mature and responsible fashion. Our role is to protect our clients from unnecessary drama while advocating for their rights. Our firm can also provide assistance with issues of child custody and domestic violence.

At Kurtz & Augenlicht, we offer a divorce mediation service for couples that are able to deal with each other without an attorney to act as an intermediary. In these cases, couples may be able to avoid the divorce litigation process by coming together in a non-confrontational setting to work out a responsible and reasonable way to divide their property. Where applicable, this solution offers the potential for a couple to obtain a low-cost divorce and to remain friends.
