About Our Firm

Alper Law has practiced exclusively in asset protection law since 1991. We advise clients on Florida statutory exemptions, Cook Islands trusts, and offshore entity structures. We also tell clients when they do not need our services.

Specialized Practice

We do not practice tax law or litigation. Every engagement focuses on protecting assets from creditors and judgments.

Nationwide Practice, Florida-Based

While we are deeply familiar with Florida’s unique statutory protections, we assist clients nationwide with offshore trusts and LLCs.

No Associates

High-value asset protection planning is handled directly by the firm’s partners. You will work directly with Jon Alper or Gideon Alper on every call and every document.

Tested Strategies

Our plans are built on decades of real-world results and an intimate understanding of how creditors think.

Our Services

Our firm focuses on three practice areas: protecting assets under Florida law, forming Cook Islands trusts, and structuring offshore entities.

Florida Asset Protection Planning

We design custom plans using Florida’s debtor-friendly exemptions—homestead, entireties, annuities, and retirement accounts—so they work together without leaving gaps.

Florida Asset Protection

Cook Islands Trust Formation

We draft and implement trusts in the Cook Islands with no bank commissions and no annual retainer. Direct partnerships with licensed trustee companies mean discounted rates and hands-on coordination.

Cook Islands Trusts

Offshore Planning Structures

We pair trusts with offshore LLCs and foreign bank or brokerage accounts, giving clients day-to-day control under normal circumstances while the trustee steps in when litigation arises.

Offshore Asset Protection

Our Attorneys

Both partners handle every client engagement directly—from initial consultation through implementation.
