LOCAL ATTORNEY MARKS MILESTONE, SETS SIGHTS ON THE FUTURE
Las Vegas— April 25th, 2018 — Pittsford and Finger Lakes attorney Michael Robinson was honored at the annual Spring Summit hosted by the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys. This April’s conference in Las Vegas, NV was especially meaningful, both for the Academy and for Mike because it marked the 25th Anniversary of the Academy, and he has been a member of the organization since it held its first series of estate planning boot camps in Las Vegas in 1993. As part of the celebration, Academy founders Robert Armstrong and Sanford M. Fisch took time to thank Mike for his participation, contributions, and friendship over the last 25 years.
Mike joined over 100 estate planning law firms from around the country at the conference which kicked off with a keynote address about changing one’s mindset from managing partner of the Arbinger Institute, James Ferrell. Mike also received a variety of legal education on estate planning and elder law topics including asset protection, special needs planning, developments in estate tax law, and the basics of basis. The highlight of event was the Academy’s 25th Anniversary Gala Reception, where they celebrated a milestone, not only for the Academy, but for the estate planning landscape nationwide.
Over the past two and a half decades, the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys has become the premier national educational organization promoting excellence in estate planning by providing member attorneys with research and updates in estate, business planning, and tax laws.
According to co-founder Sanford M. Fisch, “When Robert Armstrong and I started the Academy in 1993, we had a vision and a passion for helping other attorneys transform their law firms into thriving enterprises with deep meaning, not just for the attorneys, but for their clients and their communities. It’s nice to take some time to pause and reflect on the past 25 years, but we’re also excited as we look toward what the future holds for the Academy and its members.”
For Mike, joining the Academy 25 years ago fast-tracked his firm’s evolution into the estate planning practice it is today; one that stays on the cutting edge of legal matters while keeping the firm focused on continually enhancing each client’s experience.
“Academy membership has given me the education, training, coaching, and resources to expand my practice while ensuring my clients and their experience stay at the center of my firm’s focus,” says Mike. “The Summit was a nice opportunity to pause and reflect on the past 25 years, but it was also an exciting glimpse at what’s next in terms of the technological advances and the new legal strategies I’ll be able to use to help my clients.”
