Criminal Defense

Receiving a traffic ticket is often a law-abiding citizen’s only contact with the criminal justice system. Although relatively common, a traffic citation is far from inconsequential. Traffic convictions can result in points on your driver’s license, hefty fines, and potential license suspension or revocation.

The attorneys at Johnston Ganetis, PLLC have spent years defending, and prosecuting, traffic violations. We understand the law, put our experience in your corner.

While nobody wants to think about death or disability, establishing an estate plan is one of the most important steps you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones. Proper estate planning not only puts you in charge of your finances, but it can also spare your loved ones of the expense, delay, and frustration associated with managing your affairs when you pass away or become disabled.

A well-crafted estate plan should provide for your loved ones in an effective and efficient manner by avoiding guardianship during your lifetime, probate at death, estate taxes and unnecessary delays.  You should consult a qualified estate planning attorney to review your family and financial situation, your goals and explain the various options available to you. Once your estate plan is in place, you will have peace of mind knowing that you have provided for yourself and your family.

Painful as divorce is for any couple, for those with children it is even more heartbreaking. While decisions involving division of marital property or necessity for spousal support are often complicated and adversarial, decisions concerning child custody can be positively gut-wrenching. Having an experienced, assertive family law attorney on your side is not only reassuring; it ensures that you will have effective representation during negotiations and, if necessary, in the courtroom.
