About Our Firm
Alper Law has practiced exclusively in asset protection law since 1991. We advise clients on Florida statutory exemptions, Cook Islands trusts, and offshore entity structures. We also tell clients when they do not need our services.
No Associates
Jon or Gideon Alper handles every call and every document directly.
Nationwide Practice, Florida-Based
We assist clients across the country with asset protection and offshore trusts, with deep knowledge of Florida’s statutory protections.
Flat-Fee Pricing
Most matters are priced as a flat fee, not hourly billing.
Tested Strategies
Our strategies are designed around how judgments are collected, how creditors evaluate cases, and what courts can enforce.
Our Services
Our firm focuses on three practice areas: structuring offshore entities, forming Cook Islands trusts, and protecting assets under Florida law.
Offshore Planning
We pair trusts with offshore LLCs and foreign bank or brokerage accounts, giving clients day-to-day control under normal circumstances while the trustee steps in when litigation arises.
Cook Islands Trusts
We draft and implement trusts in the Cook Islands with no bank commissions and no annual retainer. Direct partnerships with licensed trustee companies mean discounted rates and hands-on coordination.
Florida Asset Protection
We design custom plans using Florida’s debtor-friendly exemptions—homestead, entireties, annuities, and retirement accounts—so they work together without leaving gaps.
Our Attorneys
Both partners work directly with every client—from initial consultation through implementation.
