Edward F. (Foss) Hooper practices comprehensive Estate Planning with an emphasis on techniques that minimize estate taxes for the current generation and that eliminate them for future generations. Mr. Hooper received a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics and a Master of Science degree in Business Management from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. After graduation, Mr. Hooper served as a Captain in the United States Army and was a Senior Systems Engineer for IBM. He attended Marquette University Law School where he received his Juris Doctor degree summa cum laude. Attorney Hooper received the George L. Laikin Award in estate planning, the Joseph I. Swietlik Award in taxation, and the Law Alumni Award for having the highest academic average in his class.. Attorney Hooper is the fourth generation of his family to be a member of the Wisconsin State Bar. He founded Hooper Law Offices as a practice dedicated to estate and wealth transfer planning, with emphasis on dynasty trusts and multigenerational planning. Foss believes in comprehensive, macro planning that combines multiple techniques to form a complete and understandable family plan that addresses the needs of both current and future generations. He also believes in the team approach to estate planning, combining members of the accounting, financial planning, insurance, and estate planning professions into a team of family advisors. Foss believes one of the most important contributions he makes when he develops and implements an estate plan is educating everyone involved. The estate plan will be successful only if everyone on the team, both family members and professional advisors, understands how it works and how it is interrelated to the family’s goals.. Attorney Hooper is a founding member and past President of the Wisconsin Council of Estate Planning Attorneys; a member of Sunbridge Network Advisors; a member of WealthCounsel; and a member of the Business Enterprise Institute, a national organization dedicated to working with teams of advisors to develop comprehensive business exit plans.. Foss and his wife, Mary, have a daughter, Beth, who works as a planning director in Chicago and a son, Ted, who is a CPA in Phoenix.

My practice focuses on estate planning and probate, helping clients navigate through will and trust planning, probate court, powers of attorney, and everything in between.  As much as possible, I help my clients and their families avoid conflicts through comprehensive estate planning, probate-avoidance techniques, powers of attorney, and pre- and post-nuptial agreements. I believe that preventative measures are always better than trying to fix a problem after it happens.  That's not always possible, though.  For situations where a conflict cannot be avoided, my approach is to limit emotionally draining and expensive legal battles to the extent possible while still fighting for you to make sure your interests are protected.. Before opening my own practice, I worked at several other firms, including a small family-owned office, a medium-sized multi-attorney general practice firm, and high-end firm on the top floor of an office building in downtown Milwaukee.  I learned a lot from each of these experiences and was motivated by the successes of those I worked with to venture out and design a business that matched my own vision.. I received my law degree from Marquette University Law School in 2010.  I focused my legal education on estate planning, dispute resolution, mediation, and restorative justice. While at Marquette, I founded and served as the President of the Restorative Justice Society. I also served on the boards of the Alternate Dispute Resolution Society and the Client Skills Board.  I was inducted into the Pro Bono Society with high honors for outstanding volunteer involvement with the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program and the Milwaukee Foreclosure Mediation Program. I also mediated small claims disputes at the Milwaukee County Circuit Court.. I received my undergraduate degree from Marquette University in 2005 with a triple major in English Composition, Philosophy, and Comparative Theology. I live in Wauwatosa with my wife and three children.

Attorney Peter C. Osman takes a relationship based approach to estate planning with his clients, taking the time to understand their unique situation and particular goals for themselves and their loved ones.  He believes in the importance of educating his clients about their estate planning options and then planning according to their specific direction based on what best suits their objectives.. His practice is based on comprehensive estate planning, which he feels is best  achieved by getting the entire picture of a client’s life and family.  To that end, he works closely with his clients’ advisors and other professionals in order to effectively coordinate the client’s estate plan.

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 2000.  My current practice focuses on estate planning and probate.
