Estate Planning Built for Atlanta Families
We specialize in making estate planning accessible and straightforward. Our clients want a complete plan without the traditional complexity or delays.
At Atlanta Estate Planning Attorneys, we help Georgia families protect what they've built. Our clients are business owners, real estate investors, and families who want a complete estate plan without the complexity.
We are a small, family-owned firm. We own rental properties, run a business, and raise a family — just like many of the people we serve. That experience shapes how we approach every plan we build.
Every plan is designed to keep your estate out of probate, protect your assets, and give your family clear direction when it matters most.
I became an estate planning attorney because I've seen firsthand what happens when families don't have a plan in place.
Melissa Breyer, Esq. — Estate Planning Attorney
Melissa is the estate planning attorney at Atlanta Estate Planning Attorneys. She has a background in estate planning, real estate law, and tax law, and has spent nearly a decade working with Georgia families.
She built this firm because she saw a gap: most estate planning attorneys charge high fees, move slowly, and leave clients confused about how their plan works.
Every client gets a clear explanation of their plan, a straightforward process, and direct access to their attorney — not a paralegal or assistant.
Melissa is licensed in Georgia and handles every estate plan personally from start to finish.
We own rentals, run a business, and raise a family — just like many of our clients. That real-world experience is built into every plan we create.
Shawn Breyer — Founder
Shawn co-founded Atlanta Estate Planning Attorneys to make estate planning accessible to the families and business owners who need it most.
His background is in mechanical engineering and marketing. He began his career designing and installing robotic systems and military technologies around the world, then moved into marketing where he built a large audience focused on real estate and estate planning.
That combination — technical precision and clear communication — is built into how this firm operates. We explain every step in plain language so your family always knows exactly how your plan works.
Why Atlanta Families Choose Us
We design every plan to keep your estate out of probate. We handle the entire process remotely — no office visits required. And we back our plans with a probate guarantee.
Our clients have included business owners protecting company interests, real estate investors with multi-property portfolios, and families who want to make sure their spouse and children are taken care of.
If you are ready to put a plan in place, the first step is a free strategy call. We will review your situation and tell you exactly what you need — and what you don't.
