Forbush Legal, PLLC - Colorado Springs, CO

Holistic Estate and Wealth Planning

Forbush Legal, PLLC is a premier estate planning firm in Colorado Springs, Colorado, offering a level of sophistication rarely found outside of major financial hubs. Founded by Kevin Forbush, an attorney who is also a licensed CPA (Certified Public Accountant), the firm bridges the critical gap between legal strategy and tax reality. Kevin Forbush brings a unique background to the table: he is a retired Lieutenant Colonel from the U.S. Air Force JAG Corps with over 37 years of legal experience. This combination of military discipline, accounting precision, and legal expertise allows Forbush Legal to craft estate plans that are not only legally sound but financially optimized.

The firm's philosophy is "Holistic Planning." They do not believe in one-size-fits-all documents. Instead, they look at the client's entire picture-financial assets, family dynamics, business interests, and philanthropic goals-to design a custom plan. Forbush Legal is particularly renowned for its niche expertise in Gun Trusts (Firearms Planning) and Special Needs Planning, areas that require highly specialized knowledge of state and federal regulations.
