Empowering You Through Knowledge: Beach Barrister Law's Commitment to Education
At Beach Barrister Law, we believe that informed clients are empowered clients. The discomfort of dealing with legal matters often originates from not understanding the issues; not knowing the next steps; and not knowing how to resolve the problem. Beach Barrister Law is committed to providing our clients with the information and resources they need—in an understandable way—so they feel confident when making informed decisions. Knowledge is power. We offer a variety of educational resources, which include comprehensive consultations, videos, articles, blogs, and seminars.
Our commitment to empowering you through education is just one of the many ways that we strive to provide exceptional service to our clients. At Beach Barrister Law, we’re in this together. It’s not a win unless our clients thoroughly understand the legal issues and strategies that we will implement together to reach a successful resolution.

What is Beach Barrister?
Beach Barrister Law is an estate planning and elder law firm that assists clients of all ages with their legal life planning needs.
Who is Beach Barrister for?
Beach Barrister is for anyone at any age who requires legal planning services. Legal planning is a necessary life skill that immediately arises at the dawn of adulthood. Most children are no longer under the legal authority of their parents at the age of majority, which is 18 years old in most states. We encourage high school graduates to start learning legal fundamentals, such as a Durable Power of Attorney, Designation of Health Care Surrogate, and Living Will because these laws do impact them.
Young adults who are just beginning their career journey are often overlooked by traditional law firms. (It’s a good thing Beach Barrister Law isn’t a traditional law firm! We’ve got you!) While this segment of our population may not have acquired great wealth yet, the importance of legal planning is no less important. In fact, during this period of life, estate planning is critical! A legal decision-maker may be unclear because the young adult, typically 18 years of age or older in most states, are no longer under their parents’ legal authority, yet they are unmarried. The young adult may be engaged to be married, have a significant other, or prefers that a sibling or close friend make decisions. Who will make decisions when your health crisis strikes?
Beach Barrister isn’t just for high school graduates and young adults. As we move through the age spectrum, it’s never too late to understand the fundamentals of estate planning and other elder law topics! There is no age limit to learning the importance of legal life planning!
How is Beach Barrister different from other law firms?
First, Beach Barrister Law values all clients…not just the wealthy ones. We make legal counsel and estate planning affordable for those in nearly all walks of life. We don’t limit our clientele to the affluent sector of the population only to fill our treasure chest. At Beach Barrister Law, we value everyone who needs legal counsel!
Second, Beach Barrister Law values education. We want you to feel confident and empowered by knowledge in an encouraging and entertaining environment. We help you understand the basic legal concepts of estate planning, elder law, and other legal life planning topics in a fun, engaging way through our videos, articles, and blogs. We believe that law doesn’t need to be intimidating, boring, or confusing!
Third, Beach Barrister Law values the emotional health of our clients and their family members. Because a health event heavily impacts new caregivers, Beach Barrister Law offers and fosters a supportive online community for people to connect. Whether you're just starting your voyage of legal discovery or you're an ongoing caregiver to an aging parent, you don't need to sail alone on your journey. Join our Online Community today!
Why should you choose Beach Barrister Law over DYI or AI estate planning documents?
Do-It-Yourself and Artificial Intelligence estate planning documents may seem like a great, quick, money-saving idea, but it can cost you dearly when a health crisis hits. There’s a reason why the cliché, “You get what you pay for” exists.
During a serious medical event, the last thing you want or need to discover is:
1.) You don’t have thorough knowledge of what these documents do;
2.) You have questions that can’t be answered through DYI videos or AI documents;
3.) You don’t understand all the legal implications of your crisis;
4.) Those cheap DYI or AI documents do not legally address your specific situation;
5.) Your poorly drafted documents cause more legal complications than you could ever imagine;
6.) You desperately want a real, live person in your corner, championing you, and helping you through this difficult time.
At Beach Barrister Law, we make estate planning documents affordable to almost every budget because we care. In addition to legally sound documents, Beach Barrister ensures that you receive thorough counsel, explaining what each document is used for, and we arm our clients with support, knowledge, and confidence as we face legal events together.
What’s Up with the Pirate Theme?
First of all, why not a pirate theme, right? Beach Barrister was established in the state of Florida, and it doesn’t take much for Floridians to pirate-up! Our love for all things buccaneer shines in our annual Gasparilla Pirate Festival, professional football team, pirate cruises, and pirate museums!
“Law” and “fun” aren’t two words typically associated with each another. Let’s just say it: Law can be intimidating, boring, and confusing…until now! Beach Barrister Law offers a truly unique approach to legal learning. At Beach Barrister Law, we want you to find buried treasure, not walk the plank!
The Beach Barrister website has been specifically designed to maximize fun, which optimizes learning. Research shows that individuals learn better when they are joyful, engaged, and relaxed. (Check out our super-interesting article, Estate Planning & the Psychology of Learning here!) In this light, Beach Barrister gives a whole new meaning to the words “Jolly Roger!”
Let’s face it, the topics of ill-health, dying, and death are difficult. It’s no mystery why these tough subjects promote procrastination in planning. At Beach Barrister, we do our best to move you past the stigma surrounding these sensitive topics by creating a relaxing learning environment.
Truly, the world doesn’t need more videos of a lawyer, sitting behind a desk in really bad lighting, speaking “legalese.” We take you out of that stale office atmosphere, and we sail to the tropics! Based upon the principles of ecopsychology, each video will start with a scene from nature. (Learn more about Estate Planning & Ecopsychology here!) This one minute of serenity is called our "Peaceful Prelude." Whether it's sand, surf, flora, or fauna, we invite you to take a moment to breathe—and to clear your mind from all the stressors of daily life—before we cruise into another legal port-of-call.

Mission Statement
To offer unparalleled legal counsel, products, and services while connecting and empowering our community with fundamental legal knowledge through accessible and engaging education, which inspires understanding and encourages action, while promoting awareness of elder law issues.
About the Captain
Michelle L. Revelt, Esq., LL.M.
As an associate attorney practicing in elder law firms, Michelle identified the need to educate the general public about the importance of estate planning, as well as other elder law topics, which are fundamental life skills omitted from our traditional school curriculum. Few people know that elder law isn't just for the elderly! A fundamental foundation in these topics promotes the awareness of legal planning before a health crisis hits at any age.
While working with clients and their families, Michelle also saw a critical need for a supportive online community for people impacted by elder law issues. Caregivers of aging parents are a very special, growing segment of our population, who often feel isolated by their circumstances. The Beach Barrister Online Community was created as a safe haven for them to connect and to find strength in one another as we learn legal concepts associated with aging.
