Greg Aler
Partner
Servicing clients in: Bellefontaine, Columbus
People come in with different goals and concerns each and every day. No two families are alike. We get to build customized plans and then stay by their side for the rest of their lives, making sure they reach those same goals. Not many other practices allow for lifetime client relationships.
Specialities:
Estate Planning
We not only design, build and deliver planning documents (like everyone else). But we support those same documents for the rest of our clients’ lives. It’s because we care and we want to make sure that it works, not just when signed, but when actually needed.
Why did you choose this type of law?
Regardless of the jokes and ambulance chasers out there, being a lawyer carries a reverence that only a handful of other professions enjoy. I think I noticed this at my first family reunion after passing the bar exam. My friends and family just looked at me differently. Despite my lack of experience, I started getting calls asking for help. It was at this point when I knew there was something special about this profession.
Because when someone needs an attorney, they assume they are trustworthy and fair.
At some level, that is what I think may have drawn me to the profession: the trust people put in us, responsibilities we have, and high standards to which we are held.

When he comes up for air, he spends time with his wife, Fernanda, and kids, Lillian (aka Lilly Bug), Lola, and Louie and their dogs Hendrix and Joplin. His guilty pleasures include cooking, wake boarding, fantasy adventure novels, and buying new fish for his aquarium.
An Ohio native, Greg was born and raised right off State Route 33 in Bellefontaine, Ohio. His primary practice is asset protection and estate planning for hard-working retirees. Particularly, Greg enjoys tackling tax planning for his clients’ asset sales, retirement plans, and asset protection strategies.
