Advising and Protecting Your Personal Assets and Small Business
With an office in Merrillville, Indiana, Blankenburg Law, LLC, represents individuals and business entities in the Northwest Indiana Region. My firm focuses on estate planning, probate and trust administration, real estate, and business transactions. Whether you’re a widow, widower, growing family or small business owner, I am committed to protecting your endeavors with integrity and skill in a prompt, professional manner.
My practice is based on my real life experience gained as a Congressional staffer for thirteen years on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. My understanding of small business was developed while working at the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization. I gained substantive legal skills as both a clerk and as an associate at a leading Region law firm, Hodges and Davis, P.C., where I developed transactional and litigation skills—all to give you exceptional legal advice that will last for years to come.

Areas of Practice
Estate Planning
Life is unpredictable. Whether your family needs a guardianship (usually for one or both of your adult parents), power of attorney, will, or trust, it pays to be ready. Without a will, for example, the distribution of your assets are subject to state statute.
business formation
Launching your own business took a leap of faith. Now, protect yourself with the power of the “corporate veil.” The Indiana Business Corporation Law permits the formation of corporations, limited liability companies, non-profit corporations and many other forms of business. The right choice for your business is one part of your success.
probate
Probate is the legal process of settling the matters of an estate. It usually takes time and money, especially if the beneficiaries are mired in sibling rivalry or the estate is subject to a creditor’s claims. The best way to handle probate is avoid it. Let’s talk about how.
BUSINESS litigation
Your once trusted business with another business just isn’t working. The contract has been breached and they owe you money. Do you fight, or flee? This is the decision point that requires strategic analysis with an advisor experienced in commercial litigation. Call me and lets plan a path to victory.
real estate
Transferring title to real estate needs to be done right. I know you have questions about the process and methods to get it done. Fortunately, I’ve done it for many clients. Let me help you do it right, especially if you are selling your house by owner.
vehicle titles
You did it, but you didn’t even think about it. You bought a vehicle without a title! Or you thought about it and the prior owner promised you but never produced the title. Sometimes you can resolve this at the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles and sometimes you need a court order. That’s where I come in.
