Michael Helbert was destined for a life in the law. Named after his father, a successful trial attorney and litigator in his hometown of Emporia, KS, Michael began visiting his dad at the office at a young age. He found observing and learning from the professional in action came easily, and young Michael jumped in to assist wherever he could. The two continue to work together to this day. As an avid sports fan, Michael combined his love of the law and sports to forge his education and future career path.
Today, Michael’s clientele includes a number of Major League Baseball players (both current and former), other professionals associated with professional athletics, business owners and businesses from startups to national companies, and individuals and married couples looking for legal guidance. Michael is entrusted with creating smart and functional estate plans including those for high net worth and ultra-high net worth individuals and families, handling estate and trust disputes, business exit strategies and succession plans, real estate matters, corporate and general counsel representation, and litigation in all of the aforementioned areas. Michael even assists individuals who intend to be cryopreserved with their estate planning needs.
Michael uses his experience and legal expertise to provide his clients with high quality legal representation at a fair price that is tailored to each client’s specific needs and situation.
