Michael A. Halliday

Michael A. Halliday was born and raised in Mesa, Arizona.  He attended Arizona State University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Chinese.  After graduation, he moved to Salem Oregon and attended Willamette University, College of Law. He clerked at the law firm of Schlegel, Jarman and Simons, LLP, and upon passing the Oregon State Bar, was offered a full time attorney position.  It was at this law firm that he learned the vital significance of proper planning for individuals and families.  This ultimately set the stage to open his own firm and focus primarily on estate planning, trust and probate administration.  He maintained a successful solo practice in Salem for 10 years, when his wife’s health demanded they move to a drier climate.

Michael now lives in Gilbert, with his wife and four children.  Together they enjoy basketball, soccer, swimming and attending musical theater performances.  He has completed the Newport Marathon, coached countless basketball and soccer teams, and sings tenor in his church choir. Michael is happy to once again be in the Valley of the Sun where he can play golf year round.

Michael is a member of the AAEPA, the Arizona state bar, Oregon state bar, and is an Eagle Scout.  He is licensed to practice in Oregon and Arizona.
