INSIGHT LAW BEGINS

Over the past 2 years my practice has gone through some major changes for the better. First of all, our firm is now called InSight Law. The name actually comes from the negative experience my family has had with estate planning attorneys. The lack of proper planning basically has cost our family $500,000 in long term care expenses to date. My father has been living at home for the past 8 years and the monthly expense for his care is now at $6,000. The estate planning attorney viewed our family as a transaction and basically sold us a document. The financial advisor was barely in the picture and was more worried about his commissions than what my dad really needed. He never talked to us about long term care or any type of insurance for that matter.

My goal in creating InSight Law is to create a counselling experience that peels back the layers and addresses the real issues your family will face. InSight Law is designed to provide families with our InSight and the specific questions families need to be asking their estate planning lawyer. Unfortunately, the majority of families do not know the right questions to be asking in order to be good consumers. It is just going to get worse. Hmm....I wonder where I have said that before. Recall the real estate bust?

This lack of planning will hit us worse because we are even less prepared. That is why I am so confident that InSight Law is on the right track. There are so few us who really care enough to do the right thing for the client. I am excited to be back blogging again. Stay tuned. . .
