There Is No Substitute for Experience in Estate Planning and Probate
Death and dying are never easy to talk about, but there are certain times in life when it is necessary. Whether you have recently lost a loved one or need to plan for your own family's future, your lawyer should be to provide compassionate guidance and effective solutions.
At Robshaw & Voelkl, P.C., we understand that estate planning and probate matters can be intimidating and difficult. Our attorneys help you make the right decisions for you and your loved ones. Contact us today to schedule a free initial consultation.
We Are a One-Source Law Firm for All Estate-Related Matters
Our law practice is entirely focused on the areas of estate plans, probate and estate administration, and probate and estate disputes and litigation. Many law firms handle estate planning but not probate, or handle probate but do not litigate in Surrogate Court. Our extensive background in all three intertwined areas provides insights and efficiencies that other attorneys cannot match.
Located in Buffalo, New York, we serve a diverse clientele in Greater Buffalo and Erie County, as well as Niagara and Chautauqua counties and surrounding counties of Western New York. Our estate planning clients include modest income families looking to get their affairs in order, elderly couples planning for nursing home care without exhausting the family fortune, and high net worth clients requiring more advanced solutions to protect wealth from estate taxes and creditors. A big part of our probate practice is providing local counsel to out-of-state clients who have executor duties or inheritance concerns in our corner of New York.
We Think of Everything Because We Have Handled Every Scenario
Founder and managing partner John Robshaw has practiced law in New York State since 1963, and through the years he has always handled estate planning, trusts, probate and related matters of real estate. He established his own law firm in 1979 and is recognized as a leader and pillar of the Buffalo community. Law partner Jeffrey Voelkl joined the firm in 1993. In addition to his law degree, he holds an LL.M. in taxation, a distinct advantage to clients in considerations of inheritance and succession. He has expansive experience in both civil and criminal law, as well as focused knowledge of estate and probate law. Mr. Voelkl is also a leader in the community and in professional organizations.
With more than 65 years of combined experience, our attorneys are eminently qualified to advise clients on estate matters. We are able to anticipate things that less experienced lawyers often miss and we hold ourselves to a high standard of client service. For example, our wills are literally riveted together to prevent tampering and we store a copy for our clients free of charge in our fireproof vault.
