Corporate Law
We Provide Peace of Mind. Meyer Capel believes strongly in its skills and teamwork. Each attorney concentrates in one or more areas of legal practice, ranging from corporate law to litigation. But Meyer Capel attorneys do not work strictly as individuals. They work as a team, sharing ideas, opinions, and advice - all combined to meet the single goal of providing the best possible legal counsel for clients.

Land Use and Zoning
Landlord-Tenant Disputes
Our attorneys can also assist with housing code compliance, mediate between a landlord and tenant, help resolve negligence claims, and aid in other contract and property law disputes. If you lease commercial or residential properties, then Meyer Capel attorneys can help you.
Property Damage
Personal Injury law, or Tort Law, governs physical and emotional injuries as well as property damage. Meyer Capel attorneys are serious about helping injured parties heal and rebuild, and take a comprehensive approach to these cases. Often, clients are hurt and exhausted by their injuries and by the process. Meyer Capel has the experience to help. We deal with insurance adjusters so that you can focus on getting well. Often your own health insurance will pay for your medical treatment following your injury, but then expect to be reimbursed. Meyer Capel’s full service approach to your personal injury case includes addressing those reimbursement negotiations as part of our process.

Personal Injury
Due to his unique background and experience, Sam focuses on Litigation Services, Real Estate, Business Planning and Transactions, Personal Injury, and alternative dispute resolution.

Trusts and Estates

Almost everyone has a need for estate planning – and those needs change as our lives change. Meyer Capel has concentrated in providing accessible services for clients in the area of estate planning, estate administration, probate and charitable planning since the inception of the firm. We’ve been trusted with estates big and small and excel at guiding clients through a process that is right for their particular circumstances.

She works with individuals and families to develop comprehensive estate plans that meet her clients’ goals and desires. Sarah assists clients through the estate and trust administration process, including with the preparation of federal and state estate tax returns.
Probate

Foreclosure
Meyer Capel lawyers have a long history of representing the interests of landlords and commercial tenants in Central Illinois in eviction and foreclosure proceedings. Our firm’s experience leads to practical litigation solutions for landlords, if no other agreement can be made. Our attorneys begin the process by setting landlords up with leases that will enable them to maximize their return should a tenant default on lease obligations. Should your tenant default, and you must evict them, Meyer Capel attorneys can help you accomplish your business’ goals.
Tax Law
Over the years Meyer Capel’s attorneys have assisted thousands of clients in planning for their tax liability as they run a business, transfer assets or prepare for litigation. Our lawyers work in the business context often; from that perspective, we realize the need for tax planning at every level. Tax planning starts with the choice of the type of entity a business uses to operate from its infant stages. It continues as businesses decide on compensation of its principals from a tax perspective. It ends with transition tax planning for the founder as he or she tries to pass the business on to the next generation to optimize tax savings for the family as well as future owners.
