Our Practice

We offer a wide range of services with an emphasis on business counseling. We are proud to serve local, national, and international clients. While we may be thought of as a business law firm, we also offer estate planning, tax, and personal litigation services.

Cades is organized into five departments - Litigation, Finance and Real Estate, Corporate, Tax, and Trusts and Estates - but departmental lines are fluid.
