We can also devise strategies to protect assets from other perils.

At Strulowitz Law Firm LLC, we work closely with our clients to design a plan that is focused on meeting their individual needs. We gather information about family, finances and personal objectives, and then explain what options are available. We can assist you with all of your estate planning needs, including:
