Practice Areas

With over seventeen years of experience in the practice of law, O. M. Wilson, PLLC is committed to providing excellent legal representation with a focus of professionalism and personal attention to every client's matter.    No legal issue is too simple or small.  It is our mission to provide quality, affordable legal assistance to our clients, especially to those in communities of color or other marginalized communities where securing affordable legal assistance has always been a challenge.  Your case is important to us — read below to learn about our areas of practice and how our law firm may be able to help you.

Estate Planning

Estate and succession planning can be intimidating, complicated, and emotional, but it's very important that it's done with great care and deliberation.  It's vital that you have control over the process so the laws of the state don't control what happens with the legacy that you've worked hard to build for your family.  Lack of estate planning is a leading cause of the loss of hard-earned generational wealth and land, most especially for African American families and other families of color.  Lack of estate planning can also leave your family with crippling financial burdens after you die or become incapacitated.  Everyone has an estate, no matter how small.  Everyone has someone that loves them.  Gain some priceless peace of mind knowing that you've put the right plan in place for your loved ones.  You can count on us to guide you in every step of the process.  Click here to schedule a no-cost 15-minute call where we’ll help you consider the right path to an estate plan that works for you and the people you love. Some of the questions we’ll consider together:

  • Should you have a will, trust, or something else?

  • What should an estate plan cost?

  • Should you go it alone or get our support?

  • If you hire a lawyer, how should you choose who to hire?

Our promise to you is to help you get a plan in place that will work for your loved ones when they need it, and keep them out of court and out of conflict.

Heirs Property

Heirs property is created when a property owner passes away without a will.  The owner’s property will be inherited by the owner's closest relatives according to the laws of intestate succession.  Generally, the owner's surviving spouse and children will share ownership.  If the spouse and children also die without wills, the property could then potentially be owned by many people at the same time over many generations which is a very unstable way to own property.  Heirs property ownership has had a notably negative impact on the ownership of real property in communities of color.  This has resulted in a continuing epidemic of property loss especially in the African American community. We have over seventeen years of experience and expertise with helping our clients better manage heirs property, and we've also helped our clients design estate plans so that they avoid creating heirs property. Together, we will help you establish your goals and align expectations. If you own any property with your family and you have concerns about it, click here for a consultation.

Foreclosure Prevention & Defense

Foreclosure happens when the borrower violates a term of the mortgage.  This is called default and usually occurs when there is nonpayment or late payments, or when a lien is placed on the property, like homeowners' association fees or late property taxes.  If you feel foreclosure may be coming, don't wait to act.  Call us for assistance.  We will fight for you to prevent the loss of your home and land.  You deserve affordable legal assistance to save your property that you've worked so hard to acquire.  Click here to schedule a consultation.

Real Property Issues & Disputes

Real property ownership comes with many positive aspects.  Other than providing the comfort of home and community, it can also help build wealth, provide some tax benefits, and establish or sustain a family legacy.  Sometimes, however, you may be faced with challenges along the way like difficulty accessing your land or a possible boundary dispute with a neighboring property owner.  Sometimes, a situation may even arise that questions or endangers the security of your title to your property.  If you have any of these kinds of concerns or issues with your property, and you would like assistance exploring your options, click here to schedule a consultation.

Business Entity Formation

Forming a business entity is an effective way to launch your entrepreneurial dreams while protecting yourself from liability.  It's also a practical method to manage and maintain heirs property.   Click here to schedule a consultation if you would like help walking through the process and giving your dreams flight to success.
