About Me

Hi, I'm Chris Berry. I help families plan, protect and preserve what is important to them by helping them create a Retirement & Legacy Blueprint.

As one of a handful of Certified Elder Law Attorneys™/CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERS™ in the state of Michigan, I help families protect their hard-earned assets, navigate retirement and leave their estate to their loved ones as efficiently and effectively as possible.

If we can put more money in your family's hands versus the IRS, Probate Court, or a Nursing Home, then I'm doing my job.

Our Retirement & Legacy Blueprint Process allows families to create:

✅ An Income Plan

✅ An Investment Plan

✅ A Tax Plan

✅ A Health Care Plan

✅ A Legacy Plan

Certified Elder Law Attorney | Holistic Legal and Financial Advisor | Adjunct Professor | Published Author

Christopher J. Berry is an attorney and financial advisor, author, presenter, and host of “The Chris Berry Show,” a weekly radio show and podcast where he talks about wealth, estate, and tax planning for the second half of life.

Chris has been involved in legal and financial planning since 1998. Through his continual pursuit of education and drive to serve his clients in the best way possible, he established a law firm and financial planning firm.

Chris excels at taking sophisticated legal, financial, and tax planning concepts and making them easy to understand for his clients. While his knowledge and detailed planning techniques are second to none, his strength is in being extremely relatable and easy to understand.

Chris has published a book, now available for sale, called “The Caregiver’s Legal Guide to Planning for a Loved One with Chronic Illness.”

Away from the office, Chris spends time with his wife, Rochelle, and kids, Ryan and Madison. He enjoys reading, jiujitsu, CrossFit and time on the lake with his family.

✅ Give: Provide for the people and causes you care about the most.
