I know it's almost Halloween, but this is terrifying! Any situation in which you need the services of a lawyer will likely be intimidating, and then having NO IDEA how much you'll ultimately end up paying for that service with hourly billing can be super scary! I've got some good news for you - at Berry Law we use a flat fee schedule, so you'll always know upfront exactly what the costs will be for the plans you've chosen. No unpleasant surprises! And of course, we'll review your options, so you can take comfort in knowing that the cost of your planning will always be less than the costs of leaving the state's default plan in place. Call us at 937-949-3200 to set up your free phone consultation.

Sure, you can go online, enter some basic information, and print the results, but there's so much more to estate planning! (BTW, there's a reason attorneys often have less-than-flattering nicknames for such sites, e.g., "Legal DOOM"...) Rest assured that we do things differently at Berry Law, LLC. We don't just draft documents - we do everything possible to help *you* make informed and empowered decisions about life and what should happen in the event of incapacity or death. We want to make sure you learn about the tools available for taking care of yourself and the people (and pets!) you love. Call us at (937) 949-3200 or visit www.berrylawllc.net.

This is what it's all about. *This* is why estate planning should be at the TOP of your to-do list, rather than something you'll take care of "when you get around to it." I have pictures of my kids (when they were much younger!) on the wall in the reception area, and pictures of my family members (including the furry ones) in the hallway as a reminder of why this work is so important. You take good care of your family in so many ways - why not give them the ultimate gift of planning ahead? Call us at 937-949-3200 to see how.

Instead of having a stuffy, formal conference room, we have a welcoming kitchen table with no sharp corners that could pose a danger to little ones. There's also a small table for children right in the conference room, so they can color while their parents and I design the best estate plan for their family. We also have a whole room right next to the conference room that's solely for the kids! There's a train table, lots of coloring books and crayons/markers/colored pencils, children's books, a Wii with games, and a TV with built-in DVD player to watch kids' movies. We even have a portable changing table, as wells as a kid-sized mattress in case it's nap time! When a family with young children comes in for a Life & Legacy Planning Session, one of my grown children will be on hand to supervise the kids in the children's area while the parents and I meet in the next room. We understand what it's like to juggle family responsibilities, and we've worked to make this as easy as possible for our clients
