Karen Buckley

Karen Buckley, attorney with Buckley, Miller & Wright who has concentrated on estate planning, also stresses the importance of understanding current and pending state and federal tax law.

Knowing what's on the horizon can help you and your estate planner develop the best charitable giving strategy to avoid unnecessary taxes." Like Bill, Karen has referred several clients to the Clinton County Foundation to develop the most appropriate vehicle for supporting the community. She adds, "The Foundation excels in helping my clients not only realize tax benefits, but more importantly feel the pride and joy in giving to our community and leaving a legacy of giving for years to come."
