Attorney Shayna W. Borakove, was first authorized to practice law in 2005, and is licensed in Wisconsin, Massachusetts & Minnesota. She graduated from the University of Missouri-KC, and then from New England School of Law in Boston in 2005, cum laude with honors.
Growing up on a Missouri dairy farm prepared Shayna to serve the needs of both family and businesses. She understands the value of hard work, keeping one’s word, and the importance of family. She was taught that each person was part of the land they worked and the legacy they left. Life and legacy are central to estate and business planning that protects, preserves and provides for her clients’ future and their next generation.
Attorney Borakove’s Practice Areas and Philosophy
Shayna’s practice is focused on foundational and advanced estate planning with a special emphasis on business planning for the small business owner. She believes in the value of including the family’s trusted advisors in the planning process, assuring the most complete plan possible.
Estate Planning and Asset Protection
Clients seeking a meaningful estate plan that reflects their unique situation, accomplishes their goals and minimizes their risks associated with our changing times will benefit from Shayna’s plan designs.
Business Planning & Continuation
Shayna’s civil litigation background defending businesses and individuals alike, help business owners and prospective entrepreneurs make informed decisions when determining how to structure, and how to maintain their business. Too often, small business owners set up LLCs or other business entities by filing registration documents with the state without much more. Unfortunately, simple now leads to many not-so-simple consequences later. That is why Shayna created the firm’s Small Business Counsel Membership Program. By mirroring the practice of a small town family business lawyer — small business start-ups, farm owners and family-owned businesses can receive the legal counsel they need and deserve, at a fixed cost — on their budget as part of our Small Business Counsel Membership (and with unlimited phone calls!) It is Shayna’s philosophy that a successful client is a happy client; and avoiding unnecessary legal battles is tantamount to a business’s success.

Shayna was very knowledge and thorough and executed our documentatin very quickly. She did an excellent job.
"I regularly refer clients to Shayna who are in need of estate planning. Shayna has provided exceptional service to clients, and she really knows her stuff. I will keep sending clients her way, and recommend that anyone looking to have an estate plan prepared or reviewed contact Shayna Borakove."
"We hired Shayna for estate planning and we had a remarkable experience. Shayna's practice is well thought-out, organized, and thorough. She took time to get to know us and our unique needs and concerns, was thoughtful and patient in working with us, and overall delivered a very clear and helpful estate plan that we are confident in and, above all, understand! The entire process with Shayna and her firm was impressive, from our initial consultation down to the last meeting where she carefully reviewed our final documents with us. We also appreciate the regular check-ins for annual changes in status and support in transitioning our assets. Lastly, her fee structure was logical and reasonable. I have recommended Shayna to a number of friends and family members and look forward to continuing to work with her for years to come."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I've known Attorney Borakove for almost 8 years and the one quality that stands out most of all is her dedication. No matter what case, cause, or volunteer effort she happens to be working on, Attorney Borakove will attack it with a work ethic that is unrivaled."
