About Mr David J Harowitz
<p>Our passion is to help clients just like you in “Planning and Protecting Your Legacy”. Your legacy consists of you, your values, your loved ones, and your resources. This passion arises out of my family’s experience.. As a teenager I saw the devastation wrought on my family by my father having a stroke and then subsequently dying a couple of years later with no planning in place for either incapacity or death. Our family lost not only a husband and father, but the legacy he had built over his lifetime. My mother, who was a stay at home mom, had to enter the work force in her middle age, with only a high school education. She struggled to make ends meet while raising three children. This all occurred due to a lack of planning. My father’s legacy was not protected at all. As an estate planning attorney I am determined to not let my clients and their families suffer through the same negative consequences of a failure to plan and protect their legacies. We use the most modern and up to date techniques to prevent the potential disasters which occur from no planning, do it yourself planning, planning with form documents from other attorneys and the worst, having the state legislature and the courts determine and govern their legacies upon disability and death. Our practice is dedicated to preventing problems through proper, personalized planning to prevent problems before they occur with planning customized to each client’s individual needs and desires. The process starts with us getting to know each other and becoming comfortable with each other during a no obligation conference. We listen carefully to you and we explain options you have to accomplish your desires in the most cost effective manner possible. We explain exactly what your investment in the planning will be and then only upon your agreement will we draft and execute a plan that protects your unique legacy. Please schedule a no obligation conference and allow us to aid you in preventing the loss of your legacy through no planning, poor planning, or out of date planning.
