Atty. Jacqueline L. Messler, Brookfield, Waukesha County, Wisconsin, USA

Summary

I assist clients with estate planning, probate, trust administration, pre-marital agreements, guardianship, and small business succession planning. Regardless of net worth, everybody should have an estate plan. I am happy to assist a range of clients: from the young couple who wants to do estate planning to appoint a guardian for their minor children to the multi-millionaire who needs estate tax planning.
