About Jeramie J. Fortenberry

I help my estate planning clients arrange their affairs so that their assets are handled as they wish when the client dies or becomes incapacitated. I have a background in tax law that informs my estate planning practice.

My estate planning clients range from the very modest to the very wealthy. I don’t “sell” one-size-fits-all estate planning forms. Each estate plan is customized to the client’s specific circumstances. Estate plans may range from a simple will-based estate plan for clients with modest estates to a complex estate plan involving family limited partnerships and tax-driven trusts for more wealthy clients. Because I use a value pricing model, my clients are able to weigh the cost against the benefit and choose the plan that is appropriate to their circumstances.

I also help small businesses with entity structuring (I like LLCs for most small businesses), operations, and set up.  I help nonprofits obtain and maintain tax exemption, comply with charitable registration laws, and structure their operations to remain compliant.

At Fortenberry Legal, our three core principles are: 
  • Open Pricing - We believe our clients should know ahead of time what they can expect to spend.
  • Open Communication - We try to respond promptly and don't charge to talk to you. 
  • Simplicity - We try to simplify things and communicate with you in plain English. 
Our first priority is to get the job done with as little expense and delay as possible. Check out our website to learn more about how we do business.
