Certainty in Uncertain Times

At Plachta, Murphy & Associates, it is our mission to promote our clients' business and personal security through responsive and proactive legal expertise. We are a small full-service law firm located in Grand Rapids (offices in Holland) with specialties in elder care law, divorce, government benefits (SSA/VA), and back-tax resolution. Because times are tough in Michigan, many of our services are billed on a flat-fee basis or include an initial free office conference. Please call (616) 458-3994 to inquire.

The goal of our Business Law Team is to protect and grow your business assets and your individual wealth. We can help you start a business, open an LLC, buy real estate, negotiate contracts, and plan for business succession. We also include a unique service, Professional Collection Solutions, wherein we shoulder the burden of collecting overdue accounts receivables for our business clients.

Our Family Law Team guides clients through difficult times: divorce, child custody, guardianship and conservatorship, probating a loved-one's estate.

Our Life-Care Planning Team brings together expertise in elder law, estate planning, government benefits (SSA and VA), and long-term care planning. This team includes an estate planning and elder law attorney, Social Security/Disability and Medicaid benefits specialists, and a VA-certified attorney. Whether you need a simple will, assistance in appealing a disability denial, information about the Aid & Attendance benefit, or need to negotiate caregiver solutions, we can help.

Our Litigation Team covers all areas of civil litigation: bankruptcy, personal injury, medical malpractice, employment and contracts, insurance subrogation.
