Estate Plans. Designed for You.
Client centered law firm rooted on the North Shore of Chicago.
Gifford Law is an estate planning firm driven by expertise, transparency, and human connection.
A well-organized estate is one of the most thoughtful gifts you can leave your family. We create estate plans that are as unique and personalized as you. Let us talk you through the available options.
Expertise matters
When you plan your estate with Gifford Law, you will speak with a live attorney (me!), and your plan will be designed and customized by a real attorney (also me!). NOT by an online legal form generator, an algorithm, DIY legal provider, or a law bot.
Every person deserves a comprehensive estate plan created by an attorney with experience, every person.
Straightforward process
Estate planning can feel complicated and daunting, but at Gifford Law we firmly believe that protecting your family shouldn’t feel like a chore. Quite the opposite!
With our experience, we’ve refined the estate planning process to make the experience as easy for our clients as possible. From our first phone conversation, to providing you with legal advice in plain English, to our transparent pricing, we have made each step painless and will guide you the entire way.
Services & Pricing
Our services encompass all of the cornerstones of rock solid estate planning: Wills, Trusts, Advance Directives, Powers of Attorney, etc. Need more sophisticated estate planning? We do that too.
We believe in providing fair and straight-forward pricing, which is why we use flat-fees for all of our estate planning services. The amount of the flat fee ultimately depends on the complexity of your estate. Although fees are determined on a case by case basis, we have an inclusive package right for you. You will never be charged for something you don’t need.
Don’t be a stranger.
Nothing cool and mysterious here. Just rock solid estate planning advice, some legal jargon translated into plain english, and some tips to get your financial house in order.

“Mary came recommended from a close friend and I'm glad I used her. Creating a will was something daunting in my mind but the process was easy and allowed me to consider various options as I created my plan. I feel good that I now have something in place if something were to happen to me.”
