PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LOCAL VETERAN ATTORNEYS FORM FULL SERVICE ESTATE PLANNING LAW FIRM

Honolulu, HI -December 1, 2011 – Estate Planning Group, LLLC is a new Honolulu based law firm formed by veteran attorneys Michelle Ogata and Dean Park. The practice focuses in the areas of Estate Planning, Probate, Medicaid Planning, Asset Protection, Special Needs Planning, and Conservatorship and Guardianship Proceedings.

“What sets Estate Planning Group apart from other local law firms is that we believe each client is different and the service we provide must fit the individual. No matter how great or humble the wealth, we understand that people want to preserve what they’ve spent a lifetime building for themselves and their loved ones. We assist individuals and families in doing this by taking the time to know each of our clients intimately, so we can create a customized and strategic plan to help them arrange their estate and memorialize their wishes so they can enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing that during their life, and after their death, their hard-earned assets will go where they want”, says company co-founder Michelle Ogata.

“Both Michelle and I were born and raised in Hawaii and we believe in the importance of ohana. Our practice is built on the foundation of taking care of ohana and delivering on our promise to improve the lives of families and individuals by assisting them in the various facets of estate planning and administration”, says Dean Park, company co-founder.

In a time when businesses are downsizing and placing less emphasis on the consumer, EPG leaders believe that the marketplace is in need of a law firm whose principles are rooted in personalized customer service, and a departure from the industry’s usual “formed based” estate planning and consultation.

Estate Planning Group will be located in the Ala Moana Pacific Center in January 2012 and will service clientele spanning the island chain.
