Leighton Tyau

Leighton Tyau is the founder of Copper State Planning, where he helps individuals and families navigate the legal, financial, and emotional complexities of elder law, estate planning, and probate. Leighton built the firm around a straightforward philosophy: clients deserve a lawyer who actually listens.

Rejecting the impersonal posture of "Big Law," he approaches every family with patience, transparency, and practical solutions. In his elder law practice, Leighton works closely with Arizona families to demystify the Arizona Long-Term Care System (ALTCS), shield hard-earned savings from devastating nursing home costs, and implement robust incapacity protections. His goal is to serve not merely as a legal technician, but as an approachable advisor standing beside his clients through life’s milestones—and everything that follows.
