Christopher J. Berry is one of only a handful of Certified Financial Planners® and Certified Elder Law Attorneys® in the nation. He is also the host of “The Chris Berry Show” which is a radio show and podcast where he discusses wealth, estate and tax planning for the second half of life.

Chris has been involved in legal and financial planning since 2005. Through his continual pursuit of education and drive to serve his clients in the best way possible, he established a law firm and then a financial planning firm because he saw a client need. He’s been seen in Forbes, Kiplinger’s and Crain’s magazines.

He excels at taking sophisticated legal, financial and tax planning concepts and making them easy to understand for his clients. While his knowledge and detailed planning techniques are second to none, his real strength is in being extremely relatable and very easy to understand.

Chris has been given top honors from such organizations as the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, the National Association of Distinguished Counsel, Avvo and more. He has published 2 books. One discusses how to navigate legal planning when a loved one has a chronic illness. The 2nd discusses how to achieve clarity, confidence and comfort in retirement and beyond.

Chris has been very involved in his local community, serving as a volunteer on numerous boards, including Easter Seals of Michigan and The Walk to End Alzheimer’s, and he has won awards for his civic duty, including the Spirit of Detroit award.

He enjoys reading, coaching both of his kids’ soccer teams, teaching ju-jitsu, traveling, and spending time on the lake with his whole family.
