We believe your attorney should not speak in legalese

Finding an attorney who is a “real person” can be difficult. Many attorneys surround themselves almost exclusively with other attorneys and are accustomed to speaking in ivory tower legalese.  You should be able to connect with your attorney on a personal level, and he or she should speak to you in plain language that you can understand.  You will be working very closely with this person on issues that are very important to you. It is important that he or she be down-to-earth and someone that you connect with.

We believe your attorney should be accessible

The most common complaint that clients have of their attorneys is that the attorney is unreachable, does not communicate with them regularly, or does not promptly return your calls.  Your attorney should reach out to you about your case regularly and respond within 24 hours to calls and e-mails.  An open line of communication between you and your attorney is essential to building trust.

Learn how we service your area through our Remote Location Approach.

We believe your attorney should be realistic with you about costs and outcomes

Your attorney’s goal should not be to win at all costs.  Rather, it should be to achieve a favorable outcome for you as efficiently as possible.  It is important that your attorney set realistic expectations at the outset as to the costs you should expect, the concerns that the attorney has about the outcome of your case, and the length of time that you should expect your case to take.

Regardless of the nature of your case, we have an experienced attorney who will focus on your individual needs. Our team of attorneys works closely together, bringing each of their different fields of experience to bear in order to optimize our client care.

About Estate Planning Attorneys in Madison WI:

Your Guide to Estate Planning in Madison, WI

Estate planning is an essential step in safeguarding your legacy and providing for your family's future. Our team of estate planning attorneys in Madison, WI, understands the importance of personalized, thorough planning to meet your unique needs. From drafting wills to navigating complex elder law matters, we are dedicated to ensuring your peace of mind.

The Importance of Having a Will

A will is a fundamental component of any estate plan, allowing you to specify your wishes regarding the distribution of your assets upon your passing. Without a will, Wisconsin’s intestacy laws determine how your assets are distributed, which may not align with your wishes. Our estate planning attorney in Madison can help you draft a will that clearly articulates your desires, ensuring your legacy is preserved according to your specifications.

Beyond Wills: Comprehensive Estate Planning

While wills are a critical part of estate planning, a truly effective estate plan encompasses much more. Estate planning should consider all aspects of your future and your family’s well-being, including:

  • Trusts: To manage your assets and provide your loved ones with specific instructions for their inheritance.
  • Elder Law Matters: Addressing issues related to aging, including long-term care planning and medical directives.
  • Guardianships: Ensuring the care and protection of dependents and their assets.
  • Powers of Attorney: Designating individuals to make decisions on your behalf should you become unable to do so.

By addressing these areas, you can alleviate potential stress for your loved ones and ensure that your wishes are respected.

Personalized Legal Services for Every Family

Our approach to estate planning is personalized, recognizing that each family's situation is unique. We are committed to understanding your goals and providing tailored advice and legal solutions that fit your life.
