Attorneys Jon Alper and Gideon Alper

Consultations are scheduled for 30 minutes. Additional time is billed in 15-minute increments.

Jon Alper $450 / 30 min
Gideon Alper $400 / 30 min

Each additional 15 min: $225 (Jon) · $200 (Gideon)

What Happens in the Consultation

The consultation is a working session. We review your assets, how each asset is titled, current or potential creditor issues, Florida exemptions, business structures, jointly held property, retirement accounts, bank accounts, real estate, and other planning concerns.

We then explain which assets are already protected, which assets are exposed, and what practical steps are available. The options may include Florida exemptions, LLC planning, tenancy by entireties planning, estate planning changes, business restructuring, settlement considerations, or offshore planning when appropriate.

The goal is not to sell a structure, but to identify what is actually exposed and practical solutions.

About Our Firm

Alper Law has helped clients with asset protection planning since 1991. Jon Alper and Gideon Alper work with every client directly. Our role is to evaluate the legal fit of each strategy, explain the tradeoffs, and recommend the plan that fits the client’s facts.

Asset protection specialists
Asset protection is the core of our practice. We do not handle litigation, divorce, tax planning, or investment management.
Direct attorney involvement
Jon or Gideon handles each consultation personally. No associates, no paralegal consultations, and no hand-offs.
Florida and offshore planning
We evaluate Florida exemptions and domestic planning first. When domestic planning is not enough, we can also advise on offshore structures.
Candid advice
Some clients are already well protected under Florida law. If additional planning is unnecessary or disproportionate to the risk, we say so.

Who Should Schedule a Consultation

A consultation is most useful when you have assets worth protecting and a realistic concern about creditor exposure, business risk, professional liability, real estate investments, personal guarantees, or an existing or future judgment.

A pending legal claim, lawsuit, or judgment does not automatically rule out planning. The available options depend on the type of claim, the assets involved, existing Florida exemptions, title to the assets, settlement posture, and whether any transfers remain legally supportable.

Common client situations

  • Business owners and entrepreneurs
  • Physicians and high-liability professionals
  • Real estate investors and landlords
  • Clients who signed personal guarantees
  • Clients facing lawsuits, judgments, or collection threats

Issues we review

  • Florida homestead protection
  • Tenancy by entireties ownership
  • Retirement accounts and exempt assets
  • LLC and business ownership structure
  • Bank accounts, real estate, and exposed investments
Asset protection is not the same for every client. The right plan depends on what you own, how it is titled, what creditor issues exist, and which protections Florida law already provides.
