Clients notice Michael Robinson’s unique approach to his estate planning practice the minute they walk through his office doors. Mike has established a law practice that provides clients with a warm, comfortable and relaxed atmosphere staffed by professionals who believe in providing highly individualized attention.

That’s especially important in Mike’s practice, because estate planning is an often personal process reflecting the most cherished hopes and dreams of his clients.

“The estate planning we do for our clients,” Mike explains, “often represents the culmination of their life’s work. That’s why we take a personal interest in helping them complete estate plans that suit their needs and that address the unique circumstances of their families.”

There’s one last difference clients often remark upon in Mike’s estate planning practice. “Because we concentrate on estate planning exclusively, we have the focus to bring state-of-the-art, cutting-edge estate planning techniques and strategies to a broad range of clients, no matter how diverse.”

Mike’s firm has the breadth of expertise to provide its clients with estate plans ranging from the basic to the very sophisticated, including offshore asset protection trusts.

His office regularly conducts workshop on estate planning topics throughout the Rochester and Finger Lakes area. Mike has also been a guest speaker on the subject of estate planning before a variety of professional organizations.
