Plan with Confidence, Protect What Matters

Reliable and Legally-Sound Asset Protection Strategies

It's essential to implement asset protection strategies that are not only effective but also legally sound. Our team of asset protection lawyers at Strauss Attorneys, PLLC has extensive knowledge and experience in this complex field of law, and we think outside the box. We stay up to date with the latest legal developments and utilize our experience to craft personalized solutions for our clients. We were one of the first estate planning firms in the region to implement family limited partnerships (FLPs) as asset protection strategies. We believe in taking a proactive approach to asset protection, helping you shield your assets from potential risks and threats before they arise. Our attorneys will work closely with you to identify your specific concerns and goals, and then develop a comprehensive plan to mitigate risks and preserve your wealth. Whether you need assistance with limited liability companies (LLCs), trusts, or other legal tools, you can rely on our experience to provide you with effective asset protection strategies.

High-Profile Professionals in At-Risk Careers

Doctors, lawyers, nursing home owners and others in high-profile positions are often the targets of multi-million dollar lawsuits that can end careers and empty personal bank accounts. These prominent professionals need to take the proper steps to ensure that any business-related litigation will not have a dramatic impact upon their personal finances. Our firm can help you take the necessary steps to protect your hard-earned resources.

Asset Protection Planning for Physicians

We live in a victim-oriented society, and doctors are viewed as professionals with deep pockets who can afford to pay for an injury. Doctors need asset protection planning to protect both their medical practices (including assets such as equipment and real estate) and their personal assets (such as homes, investments, etc.). Our attorneys can structure your assets in a way that best protects them from litigation and other legal attacks stemming from your profession.

Addressing the Long-Term Financial Impacts of a Divorce

A sizable bank account may mean that your children are provided for in the event of your untimely demise. Protecting this inheritance is most likely of paramount importance to you. However, a loved one’s marriage ending in divorce could serve to split these assets in half. Our job is to take proactive steps to ensure that any money or assets set aside for inheritances are placed into asset-protected, yet beneficiary-friendly, trusts.

Attention to Detail in Strategically Planning Asset Protection

At Strauss Attorneys, PLLC, we take the time needed to gather all your information to assess your situation. From there, we pay great attention to detail in preparing asset protection strategies. The stakes are simply too high in a lawsuit, divorce, or bankruptcy. Let us put our significant experience in asset protection to work for you.
