Law Offices of Matthew A. Ferri

Bloomfield Hills Estate Planning Attorneys Focused on Plans That Work Throughout Life

The Law Office of Matthew A. Ferri, PLLC, also known as LifeFocus Planning®, is a Bloomfield Hills estate planning law firm dedicated to helping individuals, families, and business owners create estate plans that evolve with life's changing circumstances. Led by attorney Matthew A. Ferri, the firm emphasizes that estate planning is an ongoing process rather than simply preparing legal documents. Through its proprietary LifeFocus Planning® and Three Step Strategy™, the firm works with clients to create comprehensive plans designed to remain effective during life, disability, and after death.

Estate Planning That Evolves with Your Life

One of the firm's defining characteristics is its belief that an estate plan should continue to serve clients as their families, finances, and the law change over time. Rather than preparing standardized documents and ending the relationship, Ferri Law encourages ongoing reviews and updates to help ensure estate plans continue to accomplish each client's goals.

The firm's planning philosophy focuses on maintaining control during incapacity, protecting loved ones, facilitating the orderly transfer of assets, and creating plans tailored to each client's personal and financial circumstances instead of relying on "off-the-shelf" solutions.

A Collaborative Planning Process

Ferri Law emphasizes education as an important part of estate planning. The firm regularly provides workshops and educational programs for clients, financial advisors, insurance professionals, and other professionals interested in estate planning concepts. During the planning process, the firm works collaboratively with clients' financial advisors, accountants, insurance professionals, and other trusted advisors to develop coordinated legal and financial strategies.

This team-based approach is intended to ensure every aspect of a client's estate plan works together to accomplish long-term family and financial objectives.
