Berry Best Reviews: Rumball & Wojtkowicz, PLC

From time to time, I like to do reviews on products or businesses that I'm a fan of. My official seal of approval, if you will. We all know that I'm brutally honest, so if I give my Berry Best stamp to something, you can count on it being quality. 

That being said, I'd like to share with you today a fantastic new law firm, located in my home state of Michigan. 

Rumball & Wojtkowicz, PLC

Rumball & Wojtkowicz, PLC is a multi-member law practice, consisting of Jayson W. Rumball and Jakob J. Wojtkowicz. We are focused on Estate Planning, Business Planning, Real Property, Contracts, Criminal Misdemeanors and Civil Litigation. We have a very diverse education and background in Business Transactions and Tax Law. 

While they might be a new location, these guys have plenty of experience behind them. In my interview, I asked them about that, and here's their responses. 

Jayson - Prior to opening up Rumball & Wojtkowicz, PLC I worked at a small firm in Lansing where I concentrated my practice on Real Property, Construction, Contracts and General Business Law. I worked at that firm as a law clerk and attorney for 4 years. Then I move to a mid-size law firm based in Southfield, where I concentrated my practice on Estate Planning, Succession Planning and Business Planning for 8 years.

Jakob - Prior to opening up Rumball & Wojtkowicz, PLC I worked as a solo practitioner concentrated on Tax Law, Business Planning, Estate Planning and Civil Litigation.

I also asked Jayson & Jakob what sets their firm apart from all the others out there, and I loved their response. 

"We are a young and energetic law firm dedicated to our clients' success in all facets of their business ventures and personal lives. We offer our clients the personal touch that they wont get at the larger firms. We care deeply about our clients on a personal level versus the transactional relationship the larger firms provide. Our clients have our cell phone numbers and can call us directly, and because of that, they always speak directly to us."

In a day and age of email interaction and mass call centers, personal service and direct contact are something that automatically put a company ahead in my opinion. 

So you're probably thinking "These guys sound great, but I don't need a law firm." and that's where you'd be wrong. Here's why...

"Estate Planning is very important to the average person because without an Estate Plan, you lose control over your estate after passing. Because, the Probate Court now dictates how and to whom your assets are distributed. Probate Court is an expensive and time consuming process - on average takes between 9 months and 3 years to complete and costs an average of 3-10% of the value of your probate estate.  A scary statistic is that 70% of Americans have no Estate Plan in place."

70%!!! Maybe you don't understand how serious this is. If (God forbid) something were to happen to you, do you really want your family to have to spend up to 3 years fighting the court system? I'm guessing your answer to that is no. Lucky for you, these awesome guys not only offer their outstanding services, but they also host seminars to help educate the public on these things. How great is that?! Here's a little information on those...

"We frequently present seminars on behalf of businesses and organizations, specifically discussing the need for estate and tax planning, proper business entity set up, and business liability protection. Our last Seminar was a joint seminar with a financial planner on financial/estate planning that was held at the Fountains Golf and Banquet in Clarkston on March 11th.  We are currently planning another seminar for early May."

It seems to me that attorneys and law firms often get a bad rap. So how do you know that you're getting the best service for your money with Rumball & Wojtkowicz, PLC?

"A good law firm starts with a fully informed attorney. In order to have a proper Estate Plan in place, the attorney must know what your assets are, the approximate value of the assets and whom the current beneficiaries are of those assets.  If your attorney isn't asking you these questions, they are doing you a disservice - how can an attorney plan to protect what it doesn't know you have.  

Also, be aware of the general practice/one-stop shop type of attorneys, that say they can do everything. ie: the jack of all trades and master of none. This is the reason we have chosen our specialties and stick to being very good at those specialties.  We do this in order to provide our clients with a personal and positive experience."

Now that I've gotten you all excited to hire the best law firm around, you're probably wondering how to get in touch with them. Well here's your answer!

"Our primary office is conveniently located just of the I75/Dort Hwy Exit at 3059 Tri-Park Dr., Grand Blanc, MI 48439. We also maintain a satellite office at 8491 S. State Rd., Goodrich, MI 48438. Our offices are open from 9am-5pm M-F, but we also offer evening and Saturday office hours by appointment."
