A Deep Act of Love.
A Lasting Blueprint.

Heart-centered estate planning designed to keep your loved ones out of court and out of conflict.

Alisha Rachele Patton, Esq.

Founder & Attorney

An Attorney’s Purpose Born From a Parent’s Heart

I help individuals and families protect and secure their loved ones and the assets they’ve acquired through effective estate and family planning. My mission is to build lasting security so that no matter what life brings, your household has a clear roadmap forward.

I built this firm because I learned firsthand that estate planning is not a transactional checklist of cold legal documents. It is not just about passing down brick-and-mortar assets or filling out generic, automated forms.

"Estate planning is a profound act of love and long-term protection."

Because I walk this path every day in my personal life, I bring a unique dual perspective to my practice. I combine a rigorous, analytical legal background with the deep, unfiltered empathy of a special needs parent. When you sit across from me at the planning table, you do not have to spend hours explaining the emotional complexities or the unique vulnerabilities of your household. I already understand.

The Catalyst: A Diagnosis That Changed Everything

When my son, Abram, was diagnosed with autism at the age of four, my world shifted completely. In an instant, I was thrown into a complex, overwhelming maze of navigating medical appointments, specialized therapies, and Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings.

For years, my greatest fear was one that keeps many parents awake at night: What would happen to my son if I were no longer here?

Who would advocate for him with the depth of care that I do? Who would understand his specific routines, safeguard his quality of life, and protect his long-term financial security without accidentally disqualifying him from the essential government benefits he relies on? The anxiety felt heavy, constant, and deeply isolating.

It wasn’t until I sat down and completed our own comprehensive estate and special needs plan that I finally felt the weight lift. For the first time in years, I breathed a true sigh of relief. I experienced a profound sense of certainty, knowing that no matter what the future brought, a clear, ironclad roadmap was in place to shield my son. That certain relief is the exact reason I founded Saven Legacy Planning.

Core Values

Family

We treat your household with the same unwavering protective care and premium legal prioritization that we give our own personal family networks.

Financial Security

Engineered asset architectures built to insulate your hard-earned wealth from unnecessary tax exposures, probate delays, and third-party liabilities.

Empowerment

Providing you with the structural knowledge, direct asset control, and long-term blueprints needed to confidently approach your family's future.

The Saven Legacy Promise

Traditional law firms are often built on friction. They rely on unpredictable hourly billing, confusing legal jargon, and transactional configurations where you feel like a file number rather than a family. I intentionally chose to break that mold completely. My practice is anchored to three simple distinctions:

No Ticking Clocks

I work with clients exclusively on an agreed-upon, flat-fee basis. You will never receive an unexpected bill for asking a question, sending an email, or calling my office to update your plan.

Seamless Tax Integration

True estate design cannot exist in a vacuum. I integrate your personal income tax strategy, gift tax exemptions, and asset-funding workflows directly into your estate architecture to shield your wealth from unnecessary liabilities.

A Lifelong Relationship

Your family will evolve, tax laws will shift, and your assets will grow. I do not just hand you a static binder and say goodbye. We check in regularly over the years to ensure your plan continues to function flawlessly.

Let's Begin the Conversation

We work exclusively on a clear, upfront flat-fee structure so you always know your exact investment. No unexpected bills, and no invoicing clocks. Let's explore your legacy path together during an initial screening call.
