Most legal work is quiet, ordinary, and worth doing well.
We keep a deliberately small practice in Marbury, handling the agreements, entity work, land transfers, and estate documents that hold businesses and families steady — the paperwork nobody notices until it is missing.
Defined work is quoted as a flat fee in writing. Every document is explained in plain language before it is signed, and we will tell you honestly when a matter does not need a lawyer at all.
“Counsel you can actually talk to.”
Six things we do, and do carefully.
No meter running while you decide.
- 01
A short first call
Fifteen minutes, no charge, to hear the situation.
- 02
A written quote
A flat fee in writing before anything begins.
- 03
Drafts you can read
Plain language, reviewed with you line by line.
- 04
We stay reachable
Call next year and you will not start over.
The people who will
handle your matter.
Marlin R. Kesler
Founding Partner · Licensed 1998
Business formation, succession, land transfers
Marlin opened the Marbury office in 1998 on the idea that small companies deserve the clarity larger ones pay for. He has walked more than a hundred family businesses through a generational handoff.
Adele P. Vance
Partner · Licensed 2006
Non-profit formation, governance, employment
Adele leads the firm's non-profit practice and has guided well over a hundred organizations from incorporation through federal exemption. She is unusually practical about governance.
Curtis J. Yoder
Associate · Licensed 2014
Real estate, easements, leases, zoning
Curtis handles the firm's land work — purchases, subdivisions, boundary disputes, and township zoning. He worked three seasons on a surveying crew, so he asks to walk the property first.
Renae S. Duffield
Associate · Licensed 2019
Estate planning, probate, guardianships
Renae drafts the firm's wills, trusts, and directives, and guides families through probate after a death. She keeps evening appointments open for families who cannot get away by day.
What clients say.
Average rating across 87 reviews left by clients of the firm.
“We put off the succession conversation for eleven years. They walked our whole family through it in three meetings, and everyone left the table still speaking to each other.”
“Our school board needed bylaws that matched how we actually operate. Adele rewrote them in plain language and explained every change to a room full of volunteers.”
“A demand letter showed up on a Friday. Someone called me back the same afternoon, and the whole thing was settled without a filing.”
“Flat fee, quoted up front, and it did not change. After years of hourly billing from another firm, that alone was worth the switch.”
