For generations, wealthy families have had personal family lawyers to help them maintain their wealth, get junior out of jail after a DUI, advise them on real estate transactions, set up their estate plans, and help “fix” things like Michael Clayton. In the past three to four years, I have been asked by my business clients to help them with personal family matters. That is why I developed my Personal Family General Counsel practice. Like my duty to counsel my business clients, as a personal family general counsel, my job is to counsel Family, Inc.
A Personal Family General Counsel is a trusted advisor who helps your family make the very best family, financial, and legal decisions and is there to counsel and guide your loved ones when you are no longer around. A Personal Family General Counsel is akin to the “Family Doctor” from back in the day. Whenever someone in your family was sick, you called your family doctor. If your family doctor could not cure you, he or she referred you to a specialist. As a personal family general counsel, I do the same thing. It is very similar to my business “Out-House General Counsel” practice. I serve as general counsel for your family.
This is all about relationships. Back in the day, before lawyers became all about the billable hour, form documents, and transactions, the local lawyer was who mom and pop turned to for guidance throughout life's ups and downs. You knew your family lawyer and your family lawyer knew you. My goal is to bring those attorney-client “relationships” back. If you woke up tomorrow with a serious family legal issue, who would you call? If you don’t know, consider calling me, your Personal Family General Counsel. Please follow this blog, as I will endeavor to provide you with helpful information to help you and your family. I can be reached at dja2@dja2law.com or (714) 795-0930.
