Animal Law
Security for your pets
What would happen to your pet if you became disabled or died? You may view your pet as a member of the family, but the law considers your pet to be merely private property, like a car or furniture. Unless you make special provisions for the care of your pet in a trust or will, your pet could end up homeless and abandoned.
What can you do to provide security for your pets? Contact the Law Offices of Jonathan D. Sands. We can help you set up a pet trust, draft a special will bequest or living will, or make other formal arrangements that provide for the long term care of your pets. It is easier and less expensive than you think!
Defending against dog bite and other animal claims

Please contact our office to set up a consultation. We listen to your concerns and provide you with sound advice regarding your best legal options.
