Robert L. Hamburger

I am pleased you have chosen to visit my personal page of our firm website. I have been a lawyer for over 40 years, practicing during that time mostly in Calhoun County and the adjoining counties, although I have also occasionally been involved in actions in many other areas of the state. I have recently decided to reduce my practice to those types of law which I have most enjoyed and feel that I am best able to assist my clients with my training and experience.Accordingly, I now spend most of my time engaged in the following areas of the law:ESTATE PLANNING AND PROBATEWillsTrustsElder LawMedicaid PlanningProbatePowers of AttorneyTax Preparation for Estates and TrustsREAL ESTATESales AgreementsDeedsLand ContractsBoundary DisputesLeasesEasementsVacation Property PlanningBUSINESS MATTERSIncorporation of BusinessesCreation of Limited Liability CompaniesBuy/Sell AgreementsLeasesPartnershipsCheryl and I spent a great deal of time deciding where we wanted to go after graduation for me to start my legal career. After much soul searching, I rejected job offers in several large cities and we moved back to Battle Creek to join my father and his partner in their law firm. We have never regretted our decision and I have enjoyed my career and life here, where we raised our children. Our firm now has four members, as you may have seen on another page, and we all enjoy working together in our legal practice. We each have different skills and experience and I feel we complement each other very well.I have continued to maintain my legal knowledge by attending numerous seminars in various areas of the law. Much of my focus has been in the area of estate planning, trusts, and probate. I hold a Certificate of Completion in the areas of Probate and Estate Planning issued by the Institute of Continuing Legal Education and the Estate Planning Section of the State Bar of Michigan.The most enjoyable part of our practice is meeting others and hopefully being able to help them with their legal concerns and planning for the future. I try to maintain a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere and want my clients to be comfortable with me, my partners, and our staff. Initial conferences in estate planning are at no cost, so that you can discuss with me your unique situation and learn how we can help with your planning. If you decide to have me prepare your wills, trusts, or other estate documents, we will do so at a reasonable cost.Please feel free to call me about any legal issues you may want to investigate. Our staff will be happy to set up an appointment at your convenience. The phone number is 269/979-3990. I hope we will have a chance to meet and discuss your legal needs.
