Considered counsel for what you have built and intend to keep.
A boutique Palm Beach firm built on four disciplines — Elder Law, Estates & Trusts, Government Advocacy, and Litigation — with one purpose across all of them: protecting families from the unnecessary costs of life and death caused by failed planning. Counsel at the crux of civil liberties and wealth preservation, from the Wall Street–trained attorney who wrote the book on asset protection.
Selective representation, direct access, and the discretion that serious matters require.
Four disciplines. One firm. One purpose.
Every section of this firm exists for the same reason: protecting families from the unnecessary costs — in life and at death — that failed planning causes. Click into any section to see everything it covers.
Elder Law
Long-term care is the unnecessary cost of a lifetime when it arrives unplanned. Medicaid and long-term care planning under our published Medicaid by Design method, guardianship and incapacity, special needs trusts, and protection from elder exploitation. Enter the section →
Estates & Trusts
Probate is the unnecessary cost of death — and divorce the unnecessary cost of an unprotected inheritance. Wills, trusts, multigenerational planning, asset protection, and probate, from the attorney who wrote the book. Enter the section →
Government Advocacy
Executive clemency, OFAC and sanctions matters, and federal agency advocacy — through networks Evan earned serving as local counsel to a sitting United States President and leading the American Rights Alliance. Gavin Gumbinner, a 23-year FBI veteran, serves as the section’s lead of-counsel. Enter the section →
Litigation — Family & General
When failed planning — or bad faith — turns into a dispute, the firm fights: divorce, custody, and post-judgment family matters, and general civil and business litigation, with Timothy Grice, Esq. as the section’s lead of-counsel. Enter the section →
Why one firm holds all four
These four sections are not a menu. They are one life’s work, and they meet in one person.
Evan Turk came to the law from money, not the other way around. He trained on Wall Street as a financial advisor and founded his own investment advisory firm before he ever sat for the bar — and since 2008 his practice has held one focus: wealth preservation. Estate planning, elder law, asset protection, and probate, practiced by an attorney who understands the assets themselves, published in Asset Protection by Design, now in its Second Edition. He is admitted in Florida, New Jersey, and before the United States Tax Court.
Some of that understanding was earned the hard way. Evan went through a divorce with little kids at home, and he learned in his own life what the planning textbooks underweight: the single biggest expense in family wealth planning is family itself — wealth lost to divorce, and to the future ex-spouses of the next generation. It is why the trusts this firm builds are engineered to keep what parents leave their children in the bloodline, and why he can counsel a family about it without flinching.
Running an entrepreneurial firm taught him a second truth: plans meet resistance, and families and businesses sometimes have to fight. That is Section IV — litigation in family law and general business matters — with Timothy Grice, Esq. as lead of-counsel in the courtroom.
And the work does not stop at the family’s walls, because wealth is only worth preserving in a country worth belonging to. Evan himself has served as local counsel to a sitting President of the United States, and he founded and serves as CEO of the American Rights Alliance, a constitutional-rights nonprofit driven by the same conviction as the firm: protection that is family-driven, for a country worth wanting to be part of for many generations to come. It is an honor that Rob Schneider serves on the Alliance’s board — a storyteller whose gift is making the battles we fight in court mean something to the people they are fought for.
Those relationships and that record are the foundation of Section III, Government Advocacy. Its day-to-day advocacy is led by a different set of credentials entirely: Gavin Gumbinner, Esq., the section’s lead of-counsel, spent twenty-three years inside the FBI and knows how federal agencies decide because he decided for one.
Civil liberties on one side. Wealth preservation on the other. One attorney at the crux of both — and one firm with a single promise: no family we serve pays the unnecessary costs of failed planning.
Three plans. Flat fees. In writing, before we begin.
Every engagement follows our published Client Engagement Guide — the same guide you sign — built on the method in Asset Protection by Design. Every plan is a flat fee, quoted in writing before we begin, payable by a one-third deposit and four equal monthly installments through the firm’s secure Clio Payments system — and every plan includes your first year of Legacy 360™ membership.
Probate Avoidance
The essentials, done right: revocable living trust, will, durable power of attorney, health care documents, and titling of your homestead into the plan — so your family avoids the courthouse entirely.
Begin the QuestionnaireMultigenerational & Asset Protection
Everything in The Foundation, engineered for more: protective trusts that shield beneficiaries from divorce and creditors, multigenerational (dynasty) provisions, and asset protection built the way the book teaches it.
Begin the QuestionnaireElder Needs Planning
The Medicaid by Design family: pre-crisis planning, crisis navigation, and full application navigation — keeping you in control of your money while protecting it from the cost of care. Quoted in writing before we begin; the fee itself is part of the eligibility strategy.
Begin the QuestionnaireAdditional properties, amendments, and special needs trusts are available à la carte, quoted in the Guide. Probate administration is billed on Florida’s statutory schedule and paid from estate assets during administration — your family advances nothing out of pocket. Every fee is confirmed in writing in the Client Engagement Guide before any engagement begins.

Timothy Grice, Evan Turk, and Gavin Gumbinner
Boutique in scale. Formidable in capability.
A boutique practice is a deliberate choice: senior-level attention on every matter, sophisticated strategy, and the discretion that high-stakes planning and advocacy demand.
The work spans the private and the public, from protecting family wealth and closely held businesses to principled advocacy where the stakes warrant it. The common thread is judgment, applied to matters that deserve it.
Asset Protection by Design
Wealth, structured to be protected before exposure ever arises.
Evan Turk is the author of Asset Protection by Design, now in a fully updated Second Edition for 2026 with new chapters drawn from his Medicaid by Design method for paying for long-term care. It is a practitioner’s guide to the very strategies the firm employs for its clients: the principles he committed to print are the same ones he puts to work for the people he represents.
The people behind the plan
A full bench of attorneys and professionals, held to a single standard: second to none. You will know everyone who touches your file.
Evan Turk, Esq. with Lynn Aronberg and Miguel Castro.
Evan Turk, Esq.
Admitted in Florida, New Jersey, and the United States Tax Court. Evan Turk built Turk Law Group as a boutique practice for clients whose planning demands precision, discretion, and sophisticated strategy. His practice brings together private-client planning and public advocacy: structuring estates, trusts, and asset-protection plans for individuals and families; representing investors in securities and investment fraud matters, including FINRA arbitration; serving as fractional general counsel to closely held businesses; and advancing principled government advocacy where the stakes warrant it.
That fluency in the investment world is earned, not borrowed. Before law school, Evan trained on Wall Street as a financial advisor and was well versed in the broker-dealer and banking industries. He attended law school in the evening while owning and operating his own Registered Investment Advisory firm, and upon graduation joined one of the most successful insurance agencies in the country. Few attorneys have worked on every side of the investment table; that vantage gives him unique knowledge of all areas of investments and the issues that arise from them.
Admitted in Florida and New Jersey. Author of Asset Protection by Design, now in its 2026 Second Edition. Founder, American Rights Alliance.

martinandmartinmedia.comDiscretion is a discipline, not an accident.
For clients whose names carry weight, a legal matter is never only a legal matter; it is also a reputational one. Probate filings are public. Disputes draw reporters. A single mishandled inquiry can undo years of careful planning.
Having public relations counsel inside the firm means media questions are anticipated before they arrive, statements are coordinated with legal strategy rather than against it, and clients who prefer silence get silence, professionally kept. It is one more layer of protection around the people and legacies we are engaged to guard.
