About Logan Philipps

I help individuals and families in the special needs community to establish plans for a bright future. These plans may include trusts, guardianship, alternatives to guardianship, benefit applications, living arrangements outside the family home, and much more. I am acutely aware of the needs of individuals with special needs.

For part of my childhood, I lived with my stepbrother who has special needs. I have seen first-hand the challenges and struggles that parents face. I frequently speak to parents, community groups, attorneys, financial planners, and educators about estate and special needs planning solutions.

I practice this type of planning exclusively because I want to help people. I have worked my entire adult life in fields that helped people. Before going to law school, I taught fifth grade language arts and sixth grade history in Mariemont, Ohio. During law school I was drawn to the television dramatics of courtroom litigation. I clerked for the Federal Public Defender and one of the premiere criminal defense attorneys in Columbus.

After law school, I initially practiced in the area of criminal law. In my years as a defense attorney, I represented individuals charged with crimes ranging from the minor to the very serious. Much of criminal law is a reaction to something that has happened. Most of the time, I was helping to mitigate a bad situation. I was helping good people on the worst day of their lives. Today in my estate planning practice, I enjoy helping good people on good days, to help them plan for better tomorrows.
