Why Work with Us?

Before Hiring an Estate Planning Lawyer, Understand the Differences.

Estate Planning is a very personal enterprise. It is about one's legacy; it is transformational; it is about the future; it is about “planning” for and “coping” with retirement, or disability, or the financial future of one's family. Unfortunately, many Estate Planning professionals utilize a "one-size-fits-all" approach with their Clients, which is “impersonal” and often falls far short of the Client's needs and expectations.

Moreover, this approach to Estate Planning can lead to unintended consequences in the long run for the Client and the Client's family.

When lawyers do not take the time to listen and consider an individual's or family's personal needs, desires, and circumstances; all too often, the result is the creation of Estate Planning documents that do not reflect what the Client expected. Moreover, there is normally no review, follow-up, or updating of the Estate Plan or the documents in these situations Consequently, an Estate Plan quickly becomes outdated and is insufficient and inoperable when the Client and the Client's family need sensible, sound, and substantive results at the most trying times of their lives.

Clearly, no one should jeopardize their life savings or leave his or her family at risk. And no one should have to suffer expensive, unnecessary court proceedings during a time of tremendous grief when it all could have been avoided with proper planning.

RJ Fichera Law Firm understands the need for personalized service. Our approach allows you to work in tandem with our firm to create the most beneficial Estate Plan for you and your family. Nothing is left to chance, and no one is left out.

1. No Surprises. We offer fixed, flat fees in advance. At the initial consultation, which is free, you can choose the level of Estate Planning that works best for you and your family; there are no surprises.

3. Every Option Explored. We do not just help you create your Estate Planning documents; we ensure that every option regarding your Estate has been explored, that the needs of your spouse and children and grandchildren have been addressed, that there is a Succession Plan for your business, that your needs can be met if you suffer a debilitating disability, and that if circumstances change in the future, we will be there to address those with you and your family.

We can help you make intelligent choices when it comes to Retirement Planning, including Life Insurance, Pension Plans, Medical and Disability Insurance, Medicare, a College Savings Plan, and how to avoid Unnecessary Taxes.
5. Asset Protection. We will work with you and your family to place your assets under proper Title, which is a necessary element of Estate Planning for the present and the future.
6. Legacy Planning.  We believe that Estate Planning is more than just a financial transfer of assets or wealth.  We will work with you to ensure that your personal desires are met and that you, as a human being, leave a legacy based on your intellectual, spiritual, and human assets - who you are and what's important to you.
7. Lifetime Service. We foster and nurture a personal, lifetime relationship with each Client. Throughout our lives, things change; some are planned, and some are unexpected.
