Strategic Counsel. Real Solutions. Lasting Impact.

Joseph Andrew Bunting, Esq., is the founder of Estate & Risk, a boutique Michigan law firm based in Troy. His practice provides thoughtful, practical legal counsel to individuals, families, professionals, first responders, and business owners. The firm's guiding principles are simple: Plan. Protect. Preserve.

Before becoming an attorney, Joseph spent more than 25 years in law enforcement, investigations, leadership, and public service, including service as a police sergeant and investigator. That background shapes how he approaches every legal matter: listening closely, evaluating the facts, anticipating risks, and developing solutions tailored to the client's circumstances.

His work includes estate planning, probate and trusts, elder law and financial exploitation matters, professional licensing, business and civil matters, real estate title work for investors and acquisition companies, and privacy and data-risk issues. Joseph brings the perspective of a former law-enforcement professional together with the personal attention of a boutique law practice, helping clients make informed decisions about what matters most.

Our work is rooted in planning today, protecting what matters, and preserving opportunities for tomorrow.
