About Us
Attorney Michael G. Curley
Mike Curley is the founder of Guided Legacy Law. After years of working in state government and larger private law firms, he opened his own firm to provide a superior client experience built on direct connection in estate planning and administration. Michael believes that a well-prepared estate plan is one of the most meaningful gifts a person can give to their loved ones.
Experienced and Empathetic Attorney
Michael has over a decade of experience as an attorney in the areas of estate planning, probate law, and trust administration. After beginning his career as a social worker, Michael attended UCONN School of Law in the evening division, while continuing to work as a social worker, and graduated with honors in 2013. He also previously served as Chief Legal Counsel at the Connecticut Office of Early Childhood. Michael has practiced in the area of trusts and estates throughout his legal career including at a large regional firm now known as Harris Beach Murtha and a smaller Connecticut firm, BPS Lawyers. This experience, combined with his background as a social worker, gives him a unique perspective on the importance of empathy in legal practice and connecting with clients to provide quality legal guidance.
Guided by Family
Committed to Clients
Michael lives with his wife and two children in West Hartford and enjoys spending time at the beach, or in the mountains, as well as coaching various youth sports. Family first has always been a life principal and that led to a passion for helping clients to protect their own family and legacy. Michael’s wife is a teacher, his mom is a nurse, and his brother-in-law is a police officer. He and the team at Guided Legacy Law particularly enjoy helping teachers, medical professionals, and first responders through the development of their estate plans. Regardless of clients’ careers, Guided Legacy Law is dedicated to guiding them to meet their goals.
