Life Law · Family · Business · Money · Legacy
The whole of your legal life, in one steady hand.
Life Law — family, business, money, and legacy — held by one attorney who sees the whole picture, on a clear flat fee.
Most people meet the law in fragments — a will here, a contract there, a dispute handled by a stranger who doesn't know the rest of your life. The pieces don't protect a whole person.
Tercet is Life Law: one counselor who holds the entire picture — your family, your business, your money, and your legacy — and builds the structure that actually holds when it's tested.
Family & Life
Marriage, children, care, and the decisions that protect the people closest to you.
Business & New Era
Entities, contracts, and the law of what's next — crypto, cannabis, AI & tech, and fintech.
Money & Legacy
Estates, wills, trusts, and a legacy planned on purpose — plus mediation when things need resolving.
This isn't estate paperwork. It's a counselor who can hold your whole legal life — family, business, money, and legacy — so nothing important is left to chance, or to a stranger.
Why Tercet
A tercet is three lines of verse that only become whole together — the shape of this work: your family, your business, and your legacy, counseled as one picture rather than loose documents.
Tercet was founded by Russ Michaels, Esq., an attorney who spent two decades building and restructuring companies — in real estate, finance, and the turnarounds where structure is tested under real pressure. That's the lens he brings to your whole legal life now.
