Michael J. Suchowski, esq.

Michael J. Suchowski, Esq. is a Colorado estate planning attorney with August & Suchowski, PLLC, based at 204 Maple Street, Suite 104, Fort Collins, Colorado, and serving clients throughout Northern Colorado and the Denver Metro Area. With more than 25 years of legal experience, Michael focuses his practice on helping individuals and families protect their assets, preserve their wishes, and create estate plans designed to provide security and clarity for future generations.

Michael approaches estate planning as more than the preparation of legal documents. He works with clients to understand their families, assets, concerns, and long-term goals and then develops comprehensive strategies tailored to their circumstances. His practice includes revocable living trusts, wills, financial and medical powers of attorney, advance directives, beneficiary planning, incapacity planning, asset-protection strategies, and planning designed to reduce the expense, delay, and uncertainty associated with probate.

A central part of Michael's practice is helping clients understand how their estate plan actually works. He emphasizes coordination between legal documents and real-world assets, including real estate, financial accounts, retirement assets, business interests, and beneficiary designations. His goal is to create plans that are understandable, properly implemented, and capable of evolving as a client's family and financial circumstances change.

Michael earned his undergraduate degree from Michigan State University and his law degree from the University of Detroit School of Law. He has practiced law since 2000 and is admitted to practice in Colorado.
