My name is Colin McMichen, and I'm an estate planning attorney based in Birmingham, Alabama. I founded Provident Law / Estate Planning LLC with the objective of helping families through proactive estate planning.. I believe a well-crafted estate plan is more than just legal paperwork. It's a cornerstone for family harmony, ensuring your wishes are carried out smoothly and minimizing the chance of disputes down the road.. Unfortunately, I've witnessed firsthand the unfortunate consequences of families left without a plan. Probate court becomes a battleground, emotions run high, and legacies meant for loved ones are consumed by legal fees. That's a scenario I'm passionate about helping families avoid.

My law practice focus is:. I enjoy helping clients and families plan ahead for all stages of life.   I can easily meet with clients via phone video, or in person at my offices are located in Pelham, Alabama (Birmingham) and Scottsboro, Alabama.  Additionally, I frequently meet with clients in Huntsville, Alabama.

After losing my two, wonderful parents to terminal illnesses, I wanted to be able to take all that I had learned through those difficult years into a law practice to help others. My sister and I were blessed that our parents agreed to do estate planning before either reached a point of incapacity. This was a wonderful gift to us, that made the years to come a little simpler, but never easy.. I don't work for a large firm, allowing me to hold down costs by keeping a small, in-house office with very little overhead. This means I can offer a less expensive, personalized plan for you and your family.. I work in only a few, very specific areas of the law include all areas of estate planning (which includes probate, wills, trusts, personal documents like a power of attorney and healthcare proxy), land issues, LLC formation, and civil litigation.
