Resnick Law

Estate & Probate Planning Attorneys in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

Resnick Law, P.C. has grown from a boutique bankruptcy and business law practice into a full-service firm serving individuals and businesses throughout Southeast Michigan. Founded by H. Nathan Resnick in 1993, the Bloomfield Hills firm now advises clients in estate planning, trust and probate administration, business law, real estate, litigation, and numerous other practice areas. Throughout that growth, the firm's guiding philosophy has remained unchanged: "The client is our employer." That client-first approach emphasizes responsive service, practical legal advice, and cost-conscious representation tailored to each client's objectives.

Estate Planning Built Around Individual Goals

Resnick Law believes estate planning should never be reduced to generic forms or one-size-fits-all documents. Instead, the firm's attorneys begin by understanding each client's family circumstances, financial objectives, and long-term wishes before recommending the appropriate planning tools.

Whether preparing a straightforward will or a more sophisticated trust-based estate plan, the attorneys focus on creating customized documents that reflect the client's specific needs rather than relying on standardized forms. The firm also recognizes that estate planning is about more than distributing assets after death—it is equally important to prepare for periods of incapacity through durable powers of attorney, patient advocate designations, and other planning documents that allow trusted individuals to make decisions when necessary.

Planning That Continues Beyond the Initial Documents

One characteristic that distinguishes Resnick Law's estate planning practice is its emphasis on implementation rather than simply document preparation.

The firm notes that creating a trust alone is not enough if assets are never transferred into it. After establishing trusts and other estate planning vehicles, the attorneys continue working with clients to help ensure those plans are properly funded and functioning as intended. Clients are encouraged to revisit their plans as family relationships, financial circumstances, and Michigan law evolve over time.

Coordinating Personal and Business Planning

Unlike firms devoted exclusively to estate planning, Resnick Law offers clients access to attorneys experienced in business law, commercial litigation, real estate, construction law, and corporate transactions. This broader perspective can be especially valuable for business owners whose estate plans must coordinate with closely held companies, commercial real estate, partnership interests, or ongoing business operations.

The firm's attorneys regularly assist businesses with entity formation, contract negotiation, acquisitions, employment matters, business sales, and commercial disputes. Because these legal issues often intersect with estate planning, clients can address both personal and business concerns within the same firm, creating greater continuity between succession planning and overall estate objectives.

Guiding Families Through Probate and Trust Administration

In addition to helping clients prepare estate plans, Resnick Law assists families after the death of a loved one through probate and trust administration.

The firm also represents clients in guardianship and conservatorship proceedings and handles estate and probate litigation when disputes arise. Having experience in both planning and administration allows the attorneys to draft estate plans with a practical understanding of how those documents will function when they are ultimately needed.

Resnick Law also assists clients who have received personal injury settlements or jury awards, helping incorporate those assets into a broader estate plan designed to provide long-term financial management and protection.

A Client-First Philosophy Since 1993

Founder H. Nathan Resnick established the firm after gaining extensive experience in commercial litigation, corporate law, and bankruptcy practice. His background includes representing clients in both state and federal courts, handling complex Chapter 11 matters, and advising businesses through challenging legal issues.

Today, the attorneys continue to emphasize responsive communication, practical advice, and ethical representation while collaborating across multiple practice areas when clients' legal needs extend beyond traditional estate planning.
