Philosophy

The attorneys and staff at the firm of HUCK & BRISSKE, LLC pride themselves in being client-centered and relationship-based. The focus of many law firms is on transactions; they move from one matter to the next. We focus on relationships, not files. Our practice is based upon a FAMILY LEGACY PLANNING™ model that will provide ongoing protection for our clients and their families over time.

FAMILY LEGACY PLANNING™, as practiced by our attorneys and staff, is an interactive and very personal relationship-based planning model. In order for us to do our jobs, for us to truly accomplish our clients' objectives, we need to understand our clients, their families, and their financial and personal situations, including their goals, their aspirations, their values and their hopes for their loved ones. The first step, therefore, in representing our clients, is to get information from them and learn about them and what they hope to gain from the process, and how we can best help them achieve their goals. We use a Planning Diagnostic to give our clients the opportunity to tell us what matters to them, and what is important to them. Without our clients' input, we cannot effectively represent them. The first step, therefore, in any client engagement is to have each client complete a comprehensive questionnaire so that we have information necessary to answer their questions and to make appropriate recommendations.

Our goal is to build relationships with our clients that will last a lifetime, and beyond. Each of us strives to be your family's lawyer, the person to whom you turn for advice and counsel, no matter the issue. Through the integration of various disciplines, and the relationships we have developed over many years of practice in our community, we are able to help our clients with any issue that may arise in the legal and financial arenas, though our own practice is concentrated in Wealth Transfer and Estate Planning, Special Needs Planning and Guardianships, Elder Law and VA Pension Planning, and Probate and Trust Administration.

We invite you to use us as a resource. We make ourselves available to act as a sounding board on estate planning, administration and related issues. You may have a friend or acquaintance who asks you about us or you may feel compelled to make an introduction to help someone out. If that happens, we will make the time to offer objective advice that can be used to make an informed decision. It’s a value-added service that we offer to our clients.
