Personalized Estate Planning Rooted in Relationships
We create custom plans that protect families, preserve legacies & reflect what matters most.
More Than a Law Firm: A Long-Term Planning Partner
Estate planning isn’t just about documents. It’s about people. Every family is unique. Every legacy is personal. That’s why we don’t use templates or one-size-fits-all solutions. We take the time to learn about you, your family, and your goals — and build a plan that fits just right.
We walk you through each step with clarity, patience, and respect. Our role is to guide, educate, and support you as you make decisions that protect your loved ones and your future. Whether you’re preparing for retirement, caring for aging parents, or running a business, we’re here to help you feel informed and empowered.
Trusted in Estate Planning for Over 25 Years
Guidance You Can Trust
We focus exclusively on estate planning, probate, and business law. Our clients include professional couples, retirees, healthcare executives, and business owners across Lake Forest, Chicago, and the North Suburbs — as well as Missouri residents. Many work in healthcare or finance. Most are planning for both aging parents and future generations.
We serve married couples, blended families, single individuals, and divorced parents. No matter your situation, we’ll help you create a plan that reflects your values and goals — and evolves with you over time.
