McLane Middleton's Private Client, Asset Protection & Wealth Preservation Practice Group adopts a multi-disciplinary approach to developing client solutions. The group consists of attorneys who are experienced in tax, trust and estate planning, Medicaid planning, business entity selection and formation, real estate, business succession planning commercial litigation, bankruptcy and family law matters. We have combined these areas of law because asset protection strategies and solutions vary greatly depending on each client's personal and business circumstances, as well as the nature of the assets to be protected.

We encourage our clients to always consider the unexpected. To that end, we work with clients to develop an integrated plan that is most beneficial to protecting assets and safeguarding them from claims of future creditors -- whether from a business failure, personal injury litigation, divorce, long-term nursing and medical expenses, environmental claims, fiduciary duties or otherwise. By being proactive, clients gain comfort that they have taken appropriate timely action to protect their future financial stability.
