Origin
A Named Solo Practice Devoted to One Field
Michael J. Tucker has built his entire practice, and his firm’s name, around a single specialty: estate and trust law. He has been a State Bar of Arizona certified specialist in the field since 2005 — a credential requiring documented experience, peer references, and periodic recertification, not a marketing designation. He is recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® in the trusts and estates category.
Practice
Wills, Trusts, and the Business Structures Around Them
Tucker’s practice covers revocable and irrevocable trusts, simple and complex wills, powers of attorney, living wills, and charitable giving vehicles, as well as estate planning for unmarried couples and nontraditional families — prenuptial agreements, domestic partnership agreements, and co-parenting agreements. The firm also handles the corporate and LLC formation work that frequently accompanies business owners’ estate plans, and counsels clients on transferring retirement assets such as IRAs and 401(k) accounts, which pass outside a will.
Track Record
Estate planning practices generally do not produce litigated verdicts or settlements to report, and no such compilation was located or claimed in the sources reviewed for this profile.
Past-Results Disclaimer: Every case is different, and no past result guarantees a similar outcome in any future matter.
Client Voice
No attributed, independently sourced client reviews were located in the sources reviewed for this profile; that reflects the available public record, not a claim of a flawless history.
Community
No independently verifiable community or civic involvement was located in the sources reviewed for this profile beyond Tucker’s professional and bar association activity.
Recognition
Tucker is a State Bar of Arizona board-certified specialist in estate and trust law, certified since 2005, and has been recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® and by Super Lawyers in the estate planning and probate category. This profile uses the word “specialist” advisedly, on the strength of that documented, individually attributed certification.
The Arizona Legal Backdrop
What follows is general legal information, not legal advice.
Arizona probate proceedings are governed by the Arizona Probate Code, and the state recognizes both informal and formal probate depending on whether an estate is contested. Arizona does not impose a state estate or inheritance tax. A.R.S. § 14-2102 and related statutes govern intestate succession — what happens to an estate when someone dies without a valid will — which underscores why even modest estates often benefit from basic planning.
The Awesome Attorneys Assessment
Michael Tucker’s differentiator is focus: a firm built and named around one certified specialty, rather than estate planning as one line item among many at a general-practice shop. The honest trade-off is scale — as a small, named solo practice, Tucker’s firm is not built for high-volume intake or complex multi-generational trust litigation requiring a large team, and prospective clients with unusually large or contested estates should ask directly about the firm’s capacity for that scope of work.
