Practice Areas

A large part of my practice focuses on two areas: estate planning and the transfer of wealth from one generation to the next and family law.

I handle every type of planning ranging from simple wills for parents with minor children all the way to complex trusts, wills, and charitable planning for extremely wealthy estates. No client is too big or too small, and I treat all clients with the same high level of service and care.

Estate Planning- Unlike many estate planning professionals, I am not a salesman. What I will do is discuss what your goals are and work with you to create a plan that custom fit to meet your needs. What I won't do is tell you, Everyone needs one of these. You should be cautious of anyone who tells you what you need on their website or before they even have a chance to meet with you! Proper estate planning involves more than just making sure certain people get certain assets; it involves evaluating estate tax calculations, incapacity planning, determining what sort of values you want to pass along, and many other factors.

In addition to estate planning, I handle a variety of other legal needs (from divorce to criminal defense and everything in between) and would be pleased to discuss your situation with you. I offer a free initial consultation and am here to assist my clients in any way that I can.

Family Law- If you are involved in a family law matter (divorce, adoption, child custody, etc.), or considering one, it is likely that you are going through one of the most stressful times in your life. This may very well be the worst and most critical time of your life, and that of your children. Many people will never be part of a civil lawsuit with someone seeking money or a criminal lawsuit, but many will have to face a family law matter. An American author and playwright once said; “Being divorced is like being hit by a Mack truck. If you live through it, you start looking very carefully to the right and to the left.” I cannot stop the Mack truck, but I can help you avoid the damage that will result from being crushed by it.

At the Law Office of Daniel P. Webb, we believe that you need three things from the lawyer you choose and three areas in which we believe we excel: Compassion, Technical Ability, and Creativity.

First, your lawyer needs to Care about you, your life, and that of your children as though it is his own life at stake. You are trusting the attorney with decisions, the importance of which cannot be overstated. If your lawyer does not care about you, and simply sees you as a "customer," you may create regrets that last for years, if not a lifetime.

The second aspect of the attorney you want is Technical Ability. Does the attorney have the knowledge of the system that will allow him to help you through the system and arrive at the other side with the best possible chance of the outcome you want? In this day and age, there are many different ways that lawyers try to position themselves in the market place. You want someone who can sit down and tell you what is likely going to happen and what you are looking at, not someone who just says "oh yeah, I've done that before!" Additionally, as a member of the State Bar College, Daniel Webb attends on average twice the requirement for lawyers to be in 'good standing', which means he is always learning and looking for new ways to help clients and stay on the cutting edge of the law.

Finally, the Family Law attorney you hire needs to be Creative. Creativity in the law comes from a broad-based understanding of the law. A career path in only one area of the law can lead to a sort of tunnel vision that can be harmful to the client. In order to properly represent an individual in a complex Family Law matter, it is important for the attorney to understand a vast array of substantive areas of the law, including Torts, Contracts, Personal Injury, Trust Law, Criminal Law, and others.

If the attorney you hire lacks any of these three areas, you may compound the problems that you are already having to an irreparable extent. There are many things in Family Law that cannot be undone, and many more are difficult and expensive to attempt to undo. You need to be right the first time, and that requires proper, professional assistance.
