About
A relationship approach to providing peace of mind for your family and your business. That says it all. Michael Lichterman, Esq. strives to provide families and businesses with access to their own personal lawyer. It is my passion to help families and businesses make the best decisions possible throughout their lifetime or existence. And it my privilege to do so as part of the great legal team at Bolhouse, Baar & Lefere, P.C. I like to know my clients as people, not just clients. I consider it a privilege to have many client families as friends, not just clients.In estate planning I work diligently to ensure that your wishes and hopes are followed and that your family members (including young children) are cared and provided for how you want. And I like to focus on "whole family wealth," not just your tangible assets. It's important to share and pass on your values, insights, stories and experiences too . . . that is what creating a legacy is all about.For businesses I bring a unique background as a former VP of a local leasing company and a business undergraduate degree. I can walk alongside you and work towards your goals both from the practical and legal side.

Mike was so helpful to us in handling our estate planning. The process was so organized, smooth, and easy to complete. He and his staff were so attentive to every detail to make the process easy on us! Mike is personable, knowledgable, and professional, and put us completely at ease as we talked and worked through the challenging topics included in estate planning. We would highly recommend Mike and his office to anyone!
Mike helped us with our estate planning. He was wonderful to work with and took time to make sure we understood everything. The process was well organized and a positive experience. I would highly recommend Mike.
My wife and I met Mike at two DFCU Financial seminars which he presented. Mike is very personable with a disciplined eye for detail. Mike has been great answering our questions and advising us on the pros and cons of some specifics we had asked for. We have already recommended Mike. Having our estate plan in place is very reassuring. Knowing that it is very well done adds another layer of comfort.
Estate planning isn't something that I would call "fun" but Michael's joyful spirit made it an enjoyable experience for us. He made the process easy to understand and work through. Having our Estate Plan completed has provided great peace of mind. We are thankful for Michael and the time and effort he devoted to our needs.
Michael was easy to talk with from our first introduction. He took time to get to know us and our family background. He asked relevant questions pertaining to our estate planning. He made suggestions to us, but wasn't pushy about our wishes. He responded quickly to phone calls and e-mails.
We have just completed an easy complete scenario with Michael. No hype, good judgement and fair cost. No "We do it all for you" which gives me the uncomfortable feeling that my personal stuff would be public knowledge with other attorneys. Mike is undertanding and flexible. One size does NOT fit all! He gets that.
Mike was incredibly helpful with our estate planning. He was very thorough, but also down to earth and easy to talk to. Estate planning touches on many difficult topics, but Mike walked us through them with great care.
As a Christian Family Therapist, I am keenly aware of the cumulative synthesized effect of professionalism and personal touch. The former promises academic or concrete results which compliment desire official outcomes. The latter produces the warmth of meaningful relationships, the sense that you worth requires Attorney Lichterman’s uncompromising dedication and attention to you and details. Prior to hiring this attorney, my image of used car salespersons and attorneys were of a kindred spirit. The entirety of my paradigm shifted from bitter sour to amazingly sweet in the span of sixty fruitful minutes. If I were pressed to expose my self-perceived constructive criticism as it pertains to this person we hired, I would advance this ill apperceive reality. I would say he would do the institution of legal processes a grave disfavor if he chose to not write a book or teach in an advanced academic institution. He radiates excellence in such a natural expression.
Doesnt miss a detail, fun sense of humor. Most of all helping us create Estate Plans for a blended family.
Very cordial - anxious to learn as much about us as possible so that he has better information in the event it is necessary. He did a great job of explaining things that he thought we might not understand - - without forcing us to ask questions and feel ignorant.
