Mic is friendly . He got to know me on a personal level as I got to know him yet he remained professional.. Mic Shellenberger is outstanding at providing a calm atmosphere when setting up the Trust and all the components. He knows how to make the client feel comfortable
throughout the gathering, compiling, review and ending the process.
You can tell he's happy to be working at McAdams Group, LLC. He makes the client feel at ease when using all the available tools on the website.
Mic speaks clearly and I understood all his comments. He did not rush the process or speed through the final documents.
The experience will allow me to refer the Mc Adam's team and especially Mic to a relative or friend
Great service Mic. Thank you.

They all go above and beyond the trust. Helpful in all aspects of life and are very knowledgeable about all final wishes to finalize your wishes, making it easy for the trustees to follow your final wishes. Very informative. Even helped with homestead deduction!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Darsha! We’re so glad to hear that our team could support you beyond just the trust. It means a lot to know you felt informed and confident in your final wishes—we’re honored to be part of that process.

I am pleased with the service I received. Setting up a trust is extremely important if you own property in TN. A simple will does not transfer real property to your heirs and must go through probate. This will add thousands of dollars of unnecessary expense and a year of delay to transfer your property. This is avoided with a trust and McAdams Group was well suited to me in setting this up. They take care of most of the complicated steps at a reasonable cost. Mic (Michael) did a great job setting up our Trust and advising on the follow up steps I needed to take.

If you don’t have your will and trust handled yet, stop playing and call Michael Simpson at McAdams Group LLC. Period.

Michael is walking me step-by-step through setting up my will and trust with patience, excellence, and precision. He doesn’t rush. He explains. He protects. He makes sure I understand every single move before I make it.

Estate planning is not the place for confusion or guesswork — and with Michael, there is none. He is knowledgeable, thorough, trustworthy, and calm, which is critical as I make legacy-level decisions.

This isn’t just paperwork. This is protection. This is stewardship.
This is legacy.

And I cannot wait to share his information with my friends — because too many people are out here blessed… but unprotected.

Grateful to have him as my estate planning coordinator.

I have had a wonderful experience since workign with McAdams group. They took time to answer all my questions, put me at ease with planning my demise ( seriously, this is what we are doing) and it is a difficult time to even contemplate. Mic, however, has made this process very easy to navigate. He answered all of my questions in the most professional manner while still being very down to earth and inviting to try to make me feel at ease and knowledgeable about all that this process entails. He went above and beyond and I would recommend him to all my friends

We had a great experience working with Michael Simpson at the McAdams Group while setting up our living trust. From the beginning, Michael took the time to understand our situation and followed up with thoughtful questions that helped guide us toward the best plan for our family.
When we met with him in person, everything was clearly organized in a binder for our records. He walked us through each section, explaining what had already been completed, what steps we needed to take, and what he would handle moving forward. He was extremely patient and thorough, especially when we had questions to make sure we fully understood the trust and our responsibilities.
Our trust was customized specifically for our needs and our heirs, which gave us a lot of confidence and peace of mind. We truly appreciated Michael’s professionalism, organization, and willingness to explain every detail. We would highly recommend Michael Simpson and the McAdams Group to anyone considering estate planning.

Our Combined 70 Years of Experience Will Help You Achieve a Lifetime of Financial Stability

Retirement Financial Planning

Factors such as inflation, taxes, and interest rates are often considered last when planning for retirement. As your retirement financial advisors, we provide you with a plan that analyzes all these factors first in relation to your post-work goals.

Estate Planning

Determining how to distribute the wealth you have accumulated and preserved gives you peace of mind as you reach your golden years. Enlist the aid of our highly trained advisors to help ensure meticulous planning for your money and other assets.

Tax Planning

You should know about the taxable portion of your Social Security and related retirement income tax liabilities. Your financial education should go as far as helping you reduce your tax burden. We are well-equipped to help you do so before you file your taxes.

Fiduciary Financial Advisor

Choosing a financial advisor to help you plan and save for retirement is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. It is essential to find an advisor whose strategies are aligned with your needs. Another good idea when you’re looking for an advisor is to find one who is a fiduciary.

Investment Management

Our advisors will work with you to help provide the guidance and advice you need for strong long-term investment performance. We will help you create a strategy based on your specific goals and needs, with individualized help every step of the way.

Rollover IRA

When it comes to growing your money over the long term, studies have shown that tax advantage is a major benefit, which is why tax-advantaged Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and 401(k)s are so popular. But one of the most important aspects of owning an IRA or 401(k) is knowing the best ways to approach taking income or withdrawals from those accounts.

We Follow Our 7-Step Educational Process to Help You Achieve Your Financial Goals

Our first priority is helping you take care of yourself and your family. We want to learn more about your personal situation, identify your dreams and goals, and understand your risk tolerance. Long-term relationships that encourage open and honest communication have been the foundation of our success.

  1. Identify Lifetime Objectives & Strategies
    We don’t believe in a “cookie-cutter” approach. No two situations are alike. We tailor your financial strategies to assist you in achieving your specific lifetime goals and objectives.
  2. Determine Your Risk Profile
    How much of your money should be in the stock market? How much should be in more conservative investments? We believe in staying within your comfort zone rather than chasing short-term market returns.
  3. Understand All of Your Options
    Some advisors are not willing to spend the time to educate you. We believe an informed client is a good client. We believe peace of mind may come from understanding all your options.
  4. Build Your Portfolio
    Your personal preferences as well as your cash flow needs are some of the factors that determine your investment allocation. In building your model, we educate you about today’s more conservative income-generating investments, so you can make informed decisions.
  5. Optimize Your Investment Allocations
    If desired, we will help you allocate the equity portion of your investments in conjunction with modern portfolio theory and mean-variance optimization.
  6. Identify Tax Reduction and Asset Preservation Strategies
    Once your investment allocation is completed, we help coordinate your affairs. Our focus is on minimizing income taxes and future death taxes as well as helping to potentially protect you and your assets from healthcare expenses.
  7. Schedule Regular Reviews
    Last but certainly not least, we believe regular reviews will help you stay the course. Our firm’s success comes largely from our emphasis on client service. We strive to contact each of our clients at least four times a year.

We tailor our financial strategies to your individual needs and goals.
