⭐️ Client Testimonial ⭐️
“I reached out to several lawyers knowing they would be closed, first thing Monday morning, Michael E Gerity had messaged me back directly, not looking to schedule an appointment, take a payment and see if he could help, but rather to provide me with a trove of information that actually provided a solution I was satisfied with, and It didn't even benefit him”

Doing what’s right for clients even when there’s nothing in it for us is the standard we hold ourselves to.
We believe great legal service starts with trust, responsiveness, and genuinely helping people when they need it most.

If you’re looking for guidance you can count on, we’re here to help.

If you own property in more than one state, your family could be looking at probate in each of those states when you're gone, which means separate courts, separate processes, and separate costs.

A Revocable Trust sidesteps all of that by keeping your properties out of probate entirely, no matter where they're located. It's one of the simplest ways to save your loved ones a significant amount of time, money, and stress.

Let's talk about whether a trust makes sense for your situation.

Life insurance is one of the most loving things you can do for your family. But a policy alone doesn't guarantee the money gets to the right people, at the right time, in the right way. That's where your estate plan comes in. If you have a policy and no plan to go with it, let's talk about how to make sure that promise is truly kept.

Most people start with a will, and that's a great first step. But a Living Trust does something a will simply can't: it protects you while you're still here. If you become incapacitated, your trust keeps things running smoothly without court involvement. When you pass, your family avoids probate entirely. It's private, efficient, and one of the most thoughtful gifts you can leave behind.

Wondering if a trust is right for your situation? Let's talk.

An ALS diagnosis brings so much uncertainty, but one thing you can control is making sure your wishes and your family are protected.

Getting legal documents in place early, while you have the ability to direct every decision, is one of the most empowering steps you can take.

We work with families facing serious diagnoses every day, and we're here to help guide you through the process with care and compassion.

Blended families and estate planning are a complicated mix. This couple's story is a great reminder that the right tools — like a QTIP trust — can protect everyone without the family drama.

You can leave a surviving spouse financially secure without leaving your children bitter.

📍 Wrapping up an incredible experience at the 2026 Spring Summit!

Michael recently attended the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys Spring Summit 2026, where he connected with fellow professionals and gained valuable insights into the latest estate planning strategies and trends.

From engaging sessions to meaningful conversations, experiences like this help us continue delivering the highest level of service to our clients. The event also offered great opportunities to connect outside the sessions—from a lively Mardi Gras–inspired cocktail evening to a memorable Mississippi River cruise with fellow members. 🎷⚓

We’re excited to bring back fresh ideas and continue providing thoughtful, forward-thinking planning for the families we serve.
