Wonderful professionals to work with!

I can only say “Thank you” to your law firm. It has been three years since we have been working together. You have been so helpful to me as a person who had never done this before. I want to thank Maggie and Courtney, who have been working so patiently with me on all the questions that I had in this case. I want to thank Atty. David for all that he has done in this case. He was there with us in the courthouse to represent us in an outstanding way.

Fantastic To Work With

They were extremely motivated to answer the questions I had. Their information I received has helped me so much & lifted tons of weight from my shoulders. I can relax now after a year of uncertainty. My case was opened & closed in a couple days. Great job to the group I worked with.

Our passion for probate law is deeply rooted in a personal story.

During his college years, our founding attorney, Erik Broel, witnessed a probate estate situation spiral out of control in his own family.  

An uncle's death left Erik's aunt, someone he was very close to, in a devastating position. The ensuing estate sale and its impact, seeing cherished family items being tagged and sold, left a lasting impression on him.

He saw his aunt struggle with the complexities of estate management without a will, leading to family discord and confusion at a time when unity and peace were most needed.

Portrait of Erik Broel

Erik’s efforts to assist his aunt, who had to navigate through estate sales and even repurchase her own house, left a lasting impact on him. Witnessing her emotional and physical distress inspired Erik to dedicate his career to preventing others from undergoing similar difficulties.

This experience fueled his commitment to finding better ways to handle estates and trusts, ensuring that others don't endure similar hardships.

Erik's mission is to demystify the estate and trust processes, making them accessible and manageable, always with a human touch. His belief in specialization means that clients receive focused, empathetic guidance tailored to their unique circumstances.

Our team in Tennessee continues this mission, ensuring that every client receives the support they need during challenging times.
