Logan Phillips has helped people plan for bright tomorrows for themselves and their children. I provide answers and solutions to questions that keep parents up at night. An area of concentration for me is planning for families and children including families with special needs. I assist families with special needs in the areas of guardianship, alternatives to guardianship, and special needs trust planning. I frequently speak at community groups and schools about estate and special needs planning solutions.
In addition to my work in the community groups, I provide continuing education to financial planners on a regular basis. I serve on Autism Speaks Columbus Walk Committee and the NAIFA Board of Directors. I am a member of the Columbus, Delaware, and Ohio State bar associations. Prior to becoming a lawyer, I taught elementary school in Cincinnati, Ohio |
