Legal Services & Mediation
The attorneys at Birch Street Law provide legal services to help guide individuals through some of life’s most sensitive legal matters—probate, guardianship, trust and estate dispute resolution (including TEDRA petitions), estate planning, elder and vulnerable adult protection (including VAPOs), and real estate issues—with clarity and compassion. Our attorneys strive to resolve conflicts efficiently and respectfully, helping parties find common ground to avoid the expense, uncertainty, and stress of litigation.
Attorney Rebekah Zinn’s experience as a Court Commissioner (retired) enables her to help parties resolve disputes outside of court as a mediator by facilitating open dialogue and finding fair, mutually agreeable solutions.
