Safeguarding Your Legacy Against a Litigious World

Here is a sobering reality: In the United States, tens of thousands of lawsuits are filed every single day. While many lack merit, the legal system doesn’t differentiate between a frivolous claim and a legitimate one until you’ve already spent thousands of dollars in defense fees.

At Lexern Law Group, we believe you shouldn’t have to lose just because you were sued. Whether you are a business owner, a healthcare professional, or a real estate investor, your success often makes you a target. We provide the strategic legal “firewalls” necessary to ensure that a single accident or a disgruntled tenant doesn’t dismantle a lifetime of hard work.

Why “Wait and See” Is Not a Strategy

Asset protection is not about hiding assets or evading legitimate debts—it is about proactive wealth preservation. In both Illinois and Wisconsin, the law rewards those who plan ahead. If you wait until a process server is at your door, the “Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act” may prevent you from moving assets into protected structures.

We specialize in protecting clients who wear high-risk hats:

• Medical & Dental Professionals: Shielding personal wealth from malpractice claims that exceed insurance limits.

• Real Estate Investors: Isolating liability so a “slip and fall” at one property doesn’t jeopardize your entire portfolio.

• Business Owners: Protecting family assets from corporate debts, employment disputes, and contractual liabilities.

• High-Net-Worth Families: Ensuring that “spendthrift” heirs, divorcing spouses, or future creditors cannot deplete the family legacy.

Our Approach: Multi-Layered Defense Strategies

No single tool fits every client. We analyze your specific risk profile to implement a combination of local and federal protections.

1. Statutory Exemptions

We help you maximize the “safe harbors” provided by state law. Both Illinois and Wisconsin offer specific protections for retirement accounts (IRAs/401ks), life insurance policies, and certain home equity (Homestead exemptions).

2. Strategic Entity Structuring

Operating as a sole proprietorship is a recipe for personal financial disaster. We help you utilize Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) and Corporations to create a legal barrier between your business risks and your personal bank accounts.

3. Asset Protection Trusts

While some states are more restrictive than others, we utilize sophisticated irrevocable trust structures—including Third-Party Trusts and Qualified Spendthrift Trusts—to ensure your assets remain available for your family but out of reach for judgment creditors. Every situation is unique and deserves a tailored plan to protect what you’ve built.
