About Axis Law Group

An Estate Planning Career that Builds Success and Supports Your Personal Growth

It feels like common sense–you should be able to find an employer that not only sets you up to excel at work , but also supports your life outside of the office. (Because yes, it does exist with our estate planning career path!)

Yet so many law offices don’t understand that employees need a firm that cares about more than just billable hours. Big firms often use their lawyers as fodder for the most difficult, contentious work; without the necessary training and support, these lawyers often burn out and leave law altogether. That is not us.

We understand lawyers need ongoing professional development, support at work, and encouragement to invest in their lives outside of work just as much as their lives at work. 

From a 4-day work week and team retreats to a healthy abhorrence of internal meetings (which ensures plenty of work time during the day) and a healthy dose of support from our leadership, we’ve created an environment that sets up our staff to thrive, both personally and professionally. 

At Axis Law Group, we know that happy lawyers make happy clients. It’s a winning combination all around!

We know people just want to take care of their families. But in order to do that, they need legal documents. Trusts, wills, and probate can be intimidating to people, which is why we work hard to make estate planning a simple process for our clients so they can stop worrying and take care of their families.

Our Culture:

Putting family first

Always. Our team will not choose between work and family time. Family fills our cup. Family fuels our drive to keep our clients’ families intact, even in the wake of loss. At the end of our lives, we will not look back on the money we made, but rather the people we love.

Health

We promote physical, mental, and financial stability for our team which allows our team to best support their families and their clients’ physical, mental, and financial well-being.

Love

We love living life even as we prepare for death. We have love for each other, our families, and our clients, which extends to our community and the future generations we seek to protect.

Happiness

We know that death and happiness do not often go together, but we do what we can to give our clients peace of mind, family unity, and to not extend the tragedy beyond the loss of a loved one. 

Teamwork

In order for you to succeed, we all need to succeed. As the classic phrase goes, teamwork makes the dream work!
