As Chair of the McLean Estate Planning Council, I'm always interested in other estate planners, CPAs, life insurance agents, and financial advisors, and especially those who have something new to say.

In the past, all too often the client couldn't be protected well enough. Solving that requires advance work before the trouble strikes.

As Chair of the McLean Estate Planning Council, I'm always interested in other estate planners, CPAs, life insurance agents, and financial advisors, and especially those who have something new to say. We meet on the fourth Wednesday of most months for lunch in McLean. What I like to do is wealth preservation. I've been both a practicing attorney and an entrepreneur for more than thirty years. In the past, all too often the client couldn't be protected well enough. Solving that requires advance work before the trouble strikes. My practice has evolved from a broad scope of local legal services, to include a successful public securities offering, to estate planning, administration, and wealth preservation. Demand continues to speak before legal, accounting, networking, writing, and business groups such as the Arlington, Fairfax, McLean, and American bar associations, the Greater Washington Society of CPAs, the Washington Independent Writers, and the McLean Estate Planning Council. My commitment safeguards those who are participating in real estate ventures by structuring their projects so that the family wealth is protected. Mentoring other attorneys who are faced with unique, difficult, and complex cases is a good way of keeping current. He's the Chair/Coordinator of a writers group (http://www.hackman-adams.com/WIW.htm), Chair of the McLean Estate Planning Council, and serves on various committees of the Arlington Chamber and his church, and is a member of the Arlington Committee of 100. Emory earned his B.S. degree from West Virginia University, and is listed in Who's Who in America. He is a member of the McLean, Arlington, and Virginia bar associations, the Virginia State Bar, and is the founder of the McLean Business Forum. He is often asked to speak on the subject of ethics for lawyers and estate planners. [less]

  One of the best things I've ever heard about Emory (and I've heard many good things) is "Emory! He's an institution!". He's the most caring attorney I've ever met, and he's all about helping people.    [less]
