Perry Shilts

Firm: Perry D. Shilts Attorney at Law
10311 Dawson's Creek Blvd , Fort Wayne , Indiana 46825
Practice Areas: Business & Commercial, Divorce & Separation
After 40 years in practice,most as a family/divorce lawyer, I have surrounded myself with fine lawyers and staff whom I can call friends. I love our office and I believe our clients recognize that we offer a comforting supportive refuge in a time of great consternation. I find myself grappling with what I want to do with my life at this juncture. The LORD has blessed me with an interesting and wonderful life, Sue, 3 sons, 2 grandchildren, and a host of lifelong friends. What can I do to repay the LORD? That’s the most pressing question in my life right now. Presently I am taking a public stand on the gross mistreatment of DREAMERS AND TPS immigrants. Where that leads, time will tell. Mark____: That which you do for the least of mine, you do unto me.

My law practice focuses broadly on trust and estate matters in both the planning and administration stages. My practice includes income tax, in addition to, transfer tax planning. I represent corporate and individual fiduciaries outside of court and also before the court for various matters including petitions for instruction, modifications, approval of accounts or termination and discharge. I also represent beneficiaries of trusts or estates to assert beneficial interests in property and damages for breaches of trust. I represent petitioners in guardianship proceedings to obtain court authority to help an incapacitated person. I am licensed to practice law in both Indiana and Ohio and before the United States Tax Court. I am board certified as an Indiana trust and estate lawyer by the Trust and Estate Specialty Board. I am AV rated by Martindale-Hubbell.. I have extensive accounting and tax background from my education and work experience more than a dozen years before I became a licensed attorney. A natural progression of my passion for problem solving continues today in helping individuals plan their estates, helping with administration issues and effectively avoiding (or efficiently resolving) disputes or disagreements along the way.

April Grunden

Firm: Grunden Law Office
9815 Dawsons Creek Blvd , Fort Wayne , Indiana 46825
Practice Areas: Business & Commercial, Business Formation, Civil, Estate Planning, Guardianship and Conservatorship, Probate
I am the anti-attorney. I buck the system at every turn because I believe the system is broken. I have seen the old way of dictating to families and business owners how their plans should work. I've seen how attorneys run roughshod over clients. Enough is enough.. I want to protect my family. I want to know the rules and the options. I want to decide what is best and understand the documents I sign. I want to work with my advisors, not be a victim. I want things to be as easy as possible on my family when I can no longer take care of them.. I believe most people feel the same way. That's why I started Grunden Law Office. My goal is to make the estate planning process easy and comfortable by explaining the rules of the road; offering advice; empowering my clients to protect their families; deliverying a complete plan that accomplishes their goals; and follow-up to be there as things change.. No fluff. No confusing legal jargon. My passion is to building lasting client relationships with clients who feel they have real choices and understand how their plan works. Help when it's needed and periodic reviews to ensure a lasting legacy. Security and comfort in knowing it's taken care of. That's my passion and my promise.
