The Mann Legal Group, PLLC will be merging with Collins & Hepler, PLC.  The new firm will retain the name Collins & Hepler, PLC, with Larry Mann remaining Of Counsel to provide legal services and advice on an ongoing basis as needed. They anticipate the merger to be beneficial for prospective and current clients.
 
Mann and Hepler feel that the merger seemed a natural fit, since both offices focus primarily on estate planning and real estate matters.   Hepler also practices elder law, which is a helpful adjunct to any estate planning practice, and Mann’s office is equipped to handle any type of real estate closing, so the merger complements and enhances the services provided to the clients of both firms. 
 
Hepler states: “Larry and I both take a client-needs focused approach to our practices, and we are similar in our values.  I believe that the merger will be highly beneficial to the clients of both firms, and I am looking forward to working with Larry and his staff.  Legal assistants Julie Crowder and Michelle Webb have worked with Larry for a very long time and have a wealth of knowledge and experience, particularly in the areas of estate administration and real estate closings.  I am very excited about this merger and the opportunity to work closely with them in the service of our clients.” 
 
The newly merged firm will be located in the existing offices of the Mann Legal Group, at 15 E. Nelson Street.   The firm will retain the Mann Group’s phone number, (540) 463-7119 as well as the Collins & Hepler number, (540) 962-6181.  Please reach out to us if you have any questions or need legal assistance. An open house date and time will be announced in the near future.
