Comprehensive Estate Planning Made Easy.
Estate planning is more than documents; it’s about the plan for your assets, responsibilities, and legacy. We work together to develop instructions for how your important assets are managed if you’re not managing them, how your vital responsibilities are cared for if you’re not capable, and then how you wish to be remembered when you’re no longer narrating the story.

Demarest C.
Michael and his team are fantastic. Their work was timely, of high quality, and priced fairly. Michael did a great job incorporating my wife’s and my priorities, educating us about potential considerations, and explaining the estate plan that resulted from this process. They've gone above and beyond helping me navigate some complicated issues that arose when funding my trust.

Elinor M.
Excellent attorney to guide one through the complications of estate planning. Exceptionally easy to work with.
Demarest C.
We communicated by email, phone and Skype – without one single f2f meeting! Michael’s associate Louis was at the same professional level, and the signing of the final documents was as easy as was the whole process.
Emma K.
Blacksburg was a Boy Scout. Why is that relevant to an estate planning attorney? Because, he got his Eagle badge, he’s still trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, and kind. It’s these personal qualities that separate him from other lawyers just as knowledgeable or technically adept.
David G.
Michael was a knowledgeable, professional and extremely patient attorney. He explained things in common English, so the process made sense, and got very specific when necessary. In all, he took a painful process and made it as pain-free as possible.
