About

Martinson Law Offices serves Green Bay and the surrounding area with experienced legal guidance in estate planning, wills, trusts, and guardianships. Located at 529 S. Jefferson Street, the firm has built substantial knowledge across the key areas of personal estate planning and helps clients structure their affairs to reflect their values and protect their families.

The foundation of Martinson Law Offices' practice rests on understanding that most people want to control what happens to their assets and family should they die or become unable to make decisions. The firm guides clients through the essential tools—wills, living trusts, powers of attorney, and living wills—to ensure those wishes are honored. This planning is especially critical for anyone with minor children, as it allows parents to designate a guardian of their choice rather than leaving that decision to a court.

For clients with accumulated assets, a will provides the opportunity to specify who receives what, name a personal representative to settle the estate, and designate guardians for minor children. Beyond basic wills, Martinson Law Offices helps clients understand more sophisticated planning strategies. For instance, even when property passes outside of probate through joint ownership, beneficiary designations on retirement accounts, or transfer-on-death arrangements, a will can still serve important functions: naming alternate beneficiaries if primary ones predecease the client, reducing estate taxes through trust arrangements, and avoiding the need for a surety bond on the personal representative, thereby conserving estate assets.

The firm recognizes that estate planning is not one-size-fits-all. A young adult with few assets and no children may need only a simple will—or perhaps none at all. By contrast, parents of minor children have a compelling reason to plan, and those with significant or complex holdings benefit from a more comprehensive approach. Martinson Law Offices takes the time to evaluate each client's circumstances and explain the options in plain terms.

Recognizing that cost and accessibility matter, Martinson Law Offices offers a free 30-minute consultation for new clients, providing an opportunity to discuss your situation and understand what planning makes sense for your family. The firm's professional, experienced, and confidential approach has earned a 4.5 rating from clients.
