About John
Biography
Beacon Legacy Law has one simple goal: to help our clients to preserve and protect their legacy. We strive to accomplish our goal by providing estate planning and administration services for clients. We focus primarily on wills, trusts, asset protection, guardianship, and probate administration.
Our clients are special to us – much more than just a name in a file folder. We build relationships with our clients that last far beyond their initial engagement with our firm. We take a sincere interest in each client, in their family, and in their future. We look out for our clients’ interests and take proactive action in order to ensure that their affairs are in order. As a result, we do things quite a bit differently than what you might expect:
1. We charge by flat fee only for planning services.
2. We strive to build life-long relationships with our clients, which means they hear from us on a regular basis, even after their work is completed.
3. Each client’s plan is customized to their individual needs (no “cookie cutter” plans).
We serve clients throughout the Treasure Coast, Palm Beach County and Okeechobee County, as well as other parts of Florida.

Estate Planning
John did a great job for me in a reasonable timeframe and at an affordable price. I particularly liked his menu pricing various projects rather than billing hourly for everything. It allowed me to manage my budget well from start to finish.
