What clients are saying about working with The Heartland Law Firm:

When first becoming a client of Heartland Law Firm, I knew that I was with a winner. The staff led by Martin J. Fogarty impressed me with their insights in being able to match my needs with various options in designing a solid program to maximize the preservation of family assets. Heartland Law Firm was always there when I needed them, not only in addressing short-term needs, but also envisioning long-term considerations. Martin J. Fogarty is an Attorney at Law, and additionally a Certified Financial Planner. The marriage of these two essentials in both the legal and financial issues brings the client a level of expertise on multiple levels. I have had the opportunity to recommend Heartland Law Firm to friends and I have done so with confidence that they too would be pleased and satisfied with the services of Heartland Law Firm.

“My mother and her family used The Heartland Law Firm’s services for estate planning. Throughout our engagement, Mike demonstrated his strong sensitivity to the special needs of senior clients through his careful explanations, clear communication and helpful guidance. His professional personal style is very supportive, reassuring and educational, and the estate planning results were thorough and complete. Mike is also quite interested in a client relationship, and is always responsive to and willing to handle ongoing questions, updates and needs. We were very satisfied with our results, and we would highly recommend the Heartland Law Firm for estate planning needs.”

The Heartland Law Firm skillfully and compassionately advised me through the final stages of a major life transition. At all times, they were patient- repeating answers to my questions when I did not understand. They drew graphs, timelines, etc. to illustrate the steps towards a solution. When they did not know an answer, they told me so and sent me to an individual who did. I am very comfortable with The Heartland Law Firm, and hope to continue working with them for many years.

Marty Fogarty was recommended to me by another attorney as someone who could help me get my mom's estate in order. Marty has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable in matters related to my mom's estate and other issues that have come up. He is intelligent, friendly, caring, and honest.
 
I highly recommend Marty and the Heartland Law Firm to anyone looking for an attorney. They really listen to their clients, understand their concerns and needs, and follow up to see how things are going. I feel so fortunate to have found Marty! He is an exceptional professional and a great human being.
 
Marty's colleagues at Heartland Planning are also very helpful and attentive to clients. I highly recommend Marty and The Heartland Law Firm to any family looking for an attorney to help them through a difficult time.

Let us answer your questions!

Questions... click on the question and be taken to the answer!

+ Can you explain probate in simple terms?
Probate is the group of laws that society follows in determining the ownership, control and guardianship of a person’s assets and people in their lives.
+ What’s the difference between a will and a trust?
A will is a letter to the Judge in a probate case, telling the Judge how you want him to disperse your assets.

A trust avoids probate and sets up in advance the instructions your representatives will follow. With a properly crafted and funded trust you will avoid the expense and delay of probate!
+ What is “Elder Law”?
Elder law describes the area of law centered on the issues that senior citizens face during the decades of their 60’s, 70’s 80’s and beyond. It combines estate planning, familiarity with medicaid and medicare, asset protection, and other areas of focus to protect the client.
