Larry Huddleston was admitted to the Bar in 1977 and has been an estate planning attorney for nearly 30 years. He was in the first class in Ohio certified as Specialists in Trust, Probate, and Estate Planning. He has taught estate planning in almost half the states in America to attorneys, accountants, physicians, and many others in groups from 10 to 1,000. He participates in several professional organizations, from trade associations to "think tanks." He is rated "10.0 Superb" by AVVO.com and "AV Pre-eminent" by Lawyers.Com/Martindale-Hubbell. He is enthusiastic about his work and intends to keep at it for many years.
Larry (or "C L" to his close friends) has been struggling to regain his single-digit golf handicap at Scioto Country Club, is a passable fly fisherman, an active pilot ("Air Gramps" to his grandsons), a now-retired ski racer, and sings bass in the Upper Arlington Lutheran Church choir.
He is a graduate of Portsmouth (Ohio) High School, Muskingum College, and Capital University School of Law. Prior to starting his estate planning career, he was a general practice attorney, litigator, financial regulator, expert witness in "banker misbehavior" cases, and a financial institutions merger and acquisitions consultant. He lives in Upper Arlington with Debbie, his patient wife of 44 years. They have two grown daughters and two grandsons.
Bryan's selection to serve as a judicial magistrate in the Franklin County Probate Court provided him with a springboard to an extraordinary career in the field of probate estate administration and probate litigation.
Jeff was a partner in the estate planning firm of Dundon & Huddleston, LLP, and ran the firm's Centerville office. In March 2007, he retired from the general practice of law to become the director of planned giving for the University of Cincinnati. Many of his client files were transferred to Huddleston Law Group, LPA.
There are no other attorneys directly affiliated with our firm, but there are two other groups on whom we rely as needed.
We co-counsel and collaborate with other "specialist" attorneys as needed, primarily when our clients need highly specialized counsel for personal injury, domestic relations, and real estate issues, especially mineral rights.
Nationally, we have working relationships with attorney colleagues throughout the United States through attorney organizations and "think tanks" to which we belong, especially WealthCounsel and ePlanners Educational Alliance. Should one of our client matters require the services of an attorney licensed to practice in another state (such as our snowbird clients in Florida or family members of our clients wherever they may be living), we are able to co-counsel with or refer cases to out-of-state colleagues when circumstances warrant.
Jodi is one of our estate planning and administration paralegals. She has held paralegal positions in other areas of law and has served as administrator for the Board of Trustees of the Ohio State Bar Association.
Angie is our newest team member but has many years of experience in both our area of specialty and other legal disciplines. She works in all our areas of practice, especially probate and trust administration.
Debbie, a bank officer before children intervened, handles the firm's bookkeeping, personnel, and insurance matters. She thinks we spend too much on almost everything, and after supervising our 2023 move to new offices after 25 years, she probably wants to be replaced.
