Our firm's motto is "Smart Families Plan Ahead." We strongly believe that a well thought plan which is implemented and maintained properly will create peace and calmness during life and make transitions through generations smooth and cost efficient. Attorney Julia Nickerson is a second generation estate planning attorney.
Before starting her own law firm, Ms. Nickerson practiced law for ten years at a large law firm where she learned creative ways to legally save wealthy clients large amounts of money in taxes. She represented clients in multi-million dollar litigation before the United States District Court, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court. She also taught law as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Indiana School of Law.
When Ms. Nickerson gave birth to her first child, she almost died. This life-changing event made her realize as a mother and attorney how important it is for every family to have a legal plan.
Ms. Nickerson has also been deeply affected witnessing the struggles her brother and sister-in-law go through raising their autistic son. Julia has become passionate about helping families with special needs children plan ahead legally.
