ABOUT THE ONE WHO GETS THE JOB DONE

Jaime Tetreault, Esq.

Hello! My name is Jaime Tetreault and I come from a military household where service and sacrifice were a way of life. My father served with honor, completing six tours in Afghanistan while my mother raised four children and held everything together at home. Growing up in that environment taught me the value of strength, faith, and preparation—and shaped the way I approach life and the work I do today.

Before I ever opened a law book, I wore a badge and a uniform. I spent nearly a decade in law enforcement, doing work most people could never imagine. I loved the adrenaline of the job, but more than that, I loved the trust built with my community: high-fiving kids at the fair, waving to churchgoers, and being someone others could count on. Like many in high-risk careers, I believed I was invincible. That belief shattered in May 2011 when one of our county sergeants, was ambushed and killed in his patrol car. He left behind a wife and three small children. That tragedy made me reevaluate everything.

Soon after, I left law enforcement and enrolled in law school. I didn’t plan to become an estate planning attorney—truthfully, it was one of my hardest classes—but God had other plans. Through my own experiences, I began to understand how crucial it is to prepare for the unexpected. Despite being in a dangerous career, I hadn’t thought much about estate planning beyond basic life insurance. Now, as a wife and mom to two small children, I know that real love means preparing for a future you might not be a part of.

Estate planning isn't just for the wealthy—it's for anyone who loves someone. Scripture reminds us that “A good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children” (Proverbs 13:22). I’ve seen what happens when there is no plan—confusion, stress, and financial strain. I’ve had grieving friends ask, “What do I do now?” That’s why I choose do this work.

How We Differ From Traditional Estate Planning Firms

Coming out of law school, I saw that there are two different ways to do estate planning. One was the traditional transactional model, and the other was the way that I’ve chosen to do it, which is a new way.

Traditional Way:

First of all, the way that most lawyers and law firms work, is that everything is billed on an hourly basis. When I talked to other lawyers about what it was like for them to charge hourly, they said their clients didn’t want to call and often were afraid to—especially after life or financial changes—because they didn’t know what that call would cost them.

When you’re creating an estate plan, things will change. You may have a new baby, get married, buy property, or start a business. But if you’re worried about being billed every time you need to make an update, chances are, you won’t—and your estate plan won’t reflect your actual life.

Second, the traditional model also lacks support. Most solo lawyers don’t have systems in place to keep your plan current. You’re told to title assets a certain way, but if you forget and call your lawyer, you might not reach anyone. You leave the bank without making changes. That’s how plans fail.

When you work with a traditional lawyer practicing under the traditional, transactional model, probably what will happen is you’ll create an estate plan, your lawyer will prepare some documents for you, you’ll sign those documents (most often not having a clear sense of what you were signing), you’ll take those documents home, stick them on a shelf or in a drawer and never look at them again. That is the traditional estate planning experience. And what I’ve come to learn is that that’s how estate plans fail. And they fail because most lawyers do not have any systems for regularly following up with their clients, making sure that their assets are titled properly, or even communicating with their clients regularly to make sure that their plans stay up to date.

Here’s how we do things differently:

Flat Fees, No Surprises – Everything we do is billed at a flat rate, agreed upon before we begin. You’ll choose your own fee from several options that align with your needs and budget.
Built-In Support – I hold office hours each day to take your calls and help with questions in real time. No phone tag, no guesswork.
Ongoing Relationship – Signing your documents isn’t the end; it’s the beginning. We review your plan every three years at no charge. And if you opt into our annual membership, you can make updates and receive ongoing guidance without added cost.
Whole Family Wealth – Finally, we don’t just focus on passing on your financial assets, but your whole family wealth. When my granny died, she left behind a little money, but more important to me—she left me a voicemail on my phone. It said, “Hi Jaime, it's Granny. Happy Thanksgiving. Okay, I love you. Bye bye.” I listened to that voicemail all the time. Until the day it was accidentally deleted. I was devastated. That loss led me to create a process included in every estate plan where we guide you to pass on more than just your money—we help you pass on your intellectual, spiritual, and human assets too. Our clients and their families love this piece of their plan.

These are just a few of the things that make our firm different. We’re the best fit for people who don’t just want to leave their family a set of documents that may or may not work, but instead want to use the estate planning process to pass on a legacy of love, care, and ease—and keep their family out of court and out of conflict.

On a personal note, I’m a mom—and what my children bring to this experience for me is the awareness that planning is something that you do for the people you love the most. You won’t be the one to benefit from the plan we are going to design for you today—the people who will benefit are the people you love the most who will be dealing with things after you’re gone.

This message isn’t just for first responders or military families—it’s for anyone who wants to leave a legacy rooted in love and guided by faith. Whether you serve your country, your community, or your household, I’m here to help you create a plan that reflects your values and your vision.

This work is personal. And I’m here to make sure your plan is too.

ESTATE PLANNING THAT WORKS

Ongoing Counsel for Peace of Mind

Your estate planning is about more than a will or a trust that you create once, put on a shelf in a drawer, or on a hard drive, and never look at again. We know if we sell you that, it’s your family who will suffer.

Having a “plan that works” to keep your family out of court and conflict, requires your plan to be reviewed and updated over time as your life changes, the law changes, and your assets change.

That’s why our Legacy of Light Planning Process includes a designed to ensure that your plan shifts, changes and grows with you and your family over time - efficiently, effectively, and affordably.
