Practice Areas
Focused Legal Services for Families, Individuals, and Small Businesses
At Snake River Law, we provide thoughtful, practical legal solutions in areas where good planning makes the greatest long-term impact.
Our practice is intentionally focused. We don’t try to be everything to everyone—instead, we concentrate on estate planning, elder law, probate, and small business matters where clarity, structure, and foresight matter most.
Whether you’re planning for the future, responding to a life event, or building a business, our goal is the same: to reduce uncertainty, protect what matters, and help you move forward with confidence.

Estate planning is the foundation of our practice. We help individuals and families create customized plans that protect them during life and ensure their wishes are carried out without unnecessary court involvement.
Our estate planning services include:
