We deliver lasting value in estate planning and business law support—real tangible results—with a practice that is built on rock-solid fundamentals.

What makes the Schlau Rogers LLP plan smarter?

Can you put a price on peace of mind? We sure do have a hard time doing that. If this is something you're after, it's important to avoid quick fixes and make smart decisions that lead to lasting success. Working with our team enables lasting success in life and business because we've built our practice on rock-solid fundamentals: a "client centered" practice that delivers a smooth and efficient experience; a community of professionals; and the most advanced planning tools available today.

Together, these fundamentals mean partnering with us in life and business will put you on the path to peace of mind. We know our approach is unique, personal, and truly valuable.

We created a "client-centered" practice. To us, this means doing more than putting our clients' needs at the forefront of our business – it means being truly open and putting ourselves in your shoes. It means we prioritize listening and asking questions so we truly understand what you’re looking for. What we've done is go "above and beyond" to create a simple, and straightforward experience for our clients.

To attain our principle of simplicity, we set out a goal to streamline the estate planning and business representation processes for clients because we know getting legal advice is not always enjoyable. It can feel confusing, tedious and never-ending. By streamlining estate panning and business representation, we are able to deliver a truly "client centered" practice. Our simple three-step process consists of a Strategy Session, Design Meeting and Signing Meeting. That's it.

In addition to simplicity, we designed our practice in a way that ensures open lines of communication between attorney and client. One way we've achieved this goal is by creating a virtual platform, which eliminates the unnecessary overhead of a traditional law firm, and ensures a cost-effective and efficient solution for you.

Perhaps more importantly, it allows us to spend most of our time effecting your individually-tailored estate plan and business representation to achieve your goals. We believe communication between attorney and client is key to creating true value. The more time you spend going to and from meetings, waiting for a time that you can actually meet or waiting for the mailman to deliver a bill or the latest revision of your documents, the less time you're spending with your attorney.

At Schlau Rogers LLP, everything can be taken care of online: all meetings, chats, questions, document reviews, payments, etc. Our virtual platform allows us to stay in touch and focus our efforts on delivering the highest quality representation possible, and our clients seem to like it: we're constantly using online applications for easy scheduling, encrypted video meetings, secure client accounts (and more) to improve efficiency and increase availability.

Our virtual platform has also generated a system of transparency. The entire process will be outlined for you from the moment you retain our firm, so there are no surprises. During our simple, three-step process, we're always available. If questions arise, you can get answers as we go through safe and secure messaging. The goal here is to ensure you understand what is happening and why it's happening. We think this allows us to deliver a uniquely positive and streamlined experience you will not find anywhere else.
