Land is often a family’s biggest asset, and disputes over farm boundaries, shared land, or fence lines can affect neighbors and family members alike. I help resolve these disputes in a way that protects your land and your relationships where possible.

Shared driveways, private roads, and rights to cross another person’s land are common in rural areas and can lead to real conflict. I help clients understand, enforce, or challenge easements so everyone knows where they stand.

Whether you’re leasing farmland to someone else or renting ground yourself, a clear written agreement protects everyone involved. I help draft and review farm leases and other agricultural contracts so expectations are spelled out up front.

Deciding what happens to the farm or family land in the future is one of the most important decisions a rural family can make. I help families start the conversation and put a plan in place that reflects what they want for their land and their loved ones.
Rural & General Practice Attorney
In the more rural Indiana counties where I practice, I handle the general practice areas listed below in addition to my main areas of practice. To be clear, I take on these general matters only for clients in the rural counties I serve. Rural life and legal issues often look different than they do in the city. I understand small-town and farm communities and offer flexible meetings by phone or video for clients who don’t live near a big office. Here are the general and rural matters I help with.
