Jennifer L. Brown, Esq.
Estate Attorney
With over two decades of experience in the legal field, Jennifer began her journey as a paralegal before embarking on her path to becoming a lawyer. She finds fulfillment in guiding clients through legal complexities and the strategic aspect of problem-solving. Jennifer's passion lies in estate planning, driving her commitment to educate both clients and the community on the importance of planning ahead.
Raised in rural Ohio, Jennifer's upbringing juxtaposed the tranquility of living across from farmers' fields with the vibrancy of an urban skyline. Her career journey has been filled with diverse opportunities and a relentless pursuit of knowledge. Yet, at the core of her advocacy lies the humility instilled by her mother, an early education teacher, and the work ethic instilled by her father, a mechanic and small business owner.
Jennifer is licensed to practice law in Ohio and Florida and focuses her practice in the following areas:
- Estate and asset protection planning
- Business succession planning and transactions
- Trust and probate administration
- Real estate transactions
During her downtime, Jennifer enjoys kayaking and exploring nature trails with her family and her beloved Springer Spaniel, Archie, who also happens to be her best friend.
Michael R. Brumbaugh's estate and elder care planning law firm is focused on helping clients through the complex and confusing maze of balancing the desire to live independently as long as possible while preserving the family assets from the costs of probate and long term care.
Upon receiving a Mechanical Engineering degree, Michael went to law school where he graduated Magna Cum Laude and became a member of the Order of the Coif which is an honor society for law school graduates who graduate in the top 10% of their class. He then worked as a staff attorney for a United States Federal Judge.
After opening his own office, Michael discovered his passion was helping people with their estate planning. As time went on, he discovered that while helping people with traditional estate planning focused on what happens upon death was very important, it failed to address the problems that occur when a family faces long term care issues. As a result, Michael now also assists clients in developing plans that answer the following crucial question: What happens, if prior to passing, you need long term care that may last for months and even years?
Michael’s law firm focuses exclusively in the areas of estate planning and elder care. He is a member of Elder Counsel, the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, the Ohio Chapter of the National Academy of Elder Law attorneys where he served as the organization’s President from 2011 to 2013. He is a member of the Ohio State Bar Association and a graduate of the Veteran’s Benefit Institute and is an accredited attorney with the Veteran’s Administration
