The Hoikka Law Difference
Affordable Fees
Don’t let the high fees some firms charge deter you from getting the planning you need. Estate planning should be affordable and available to everyone, and as a solo practitioner, my attention is completely devoted to your case, not passed off to other employees. I aim to keep fees reasonable, affordable, and transparent, so that you can move forward with the planning you need.
Michigan Focused
Michigan is a great state in which to settle, start a family, and retire. It is important that your estate planning attorney is always informed of the latest news in Michigan Law. The law is constantly changing, and if you hire someone who hasn’t updated their practice in relation to Michigan’s new Power of Attorney laws or Mental Health Patient Advocacy laws, you could end up with a plan that doesn’t work when you need it most, or a plan that authorizes something you don’t want. As a Kalamazoo attorney, I stay up to date with the latest, Michigan-specific law to ensure you get a plan that works.
Clear & Plain Guidance
We have all met that one doctor or lawyer who clearly knew their field but had no idea how to explain it. At Hoikka Law P.L.L.C., you will get plain English, clear examples, and solid suggestions. My goal is for you to understand exactly what is happening with your assets so you can make the best decision for you or your family.
No Extra Billing
Unlike typical law practices, I do not bill phone calls or emails related to your case. If you decide to move forward with your personalized plan, the fee will be agreed upon in the initial meeting and will cover all communications related to your documents and the plan, excepting special circumstances that would be settled in advance. I aim to be as accessible as possible. I encourage questions and want you to feel comfortable reaching out with questions whenever they may arise.
Practical & Personal Solutions
Every plan is designed not just to meet legal requirements, but to make life easier for you and your family. Every family is different—each estate plan is unique and tailored to you. I don’t do cookie-cutter plans that make you feel like you’re being rushed through the process. At Hoikka Law P.L.L.C., I consider the entirety of your circumstances to make sure your estate planning reflects your wishes and is practical and useful for you, avoiding potential conflicts and ensuring your goals are met.
