Meet Darren Wurz
FROM TEACHER TO FIDUCIARY FINANCIAL PLANNER FOR LAW FIRM OWNERS
Hi, I’m Darren Wurz, CFP®, founder of The Lawyer Millionaire®. I started my career as a teacher, driven by a passion for helping people grow — a passion that eventually led me into financial planning and entrepreneurship.
When I entered the industry, I was surprised to find that most “advisors” were really salespeople chasing commissions and assets under management. That didn’t sit right with me.
Then I began working with lawyers — ambitious, capable professionals who often struggled to turn their success into lasting wealth. Many faced challenges with cash flow, taxes, and planning for retirement or firm succession.
That’s when I realized what they truly needed: not another investment salesperson, but a fiduciary financial planner who understands both the business of law and the personal side of financial success.
So I built what didn’t exist — a flat-fee advisory firm for law firm owners, combining business strategy, tax-smart wealth planning, and personal coaching to help lawyers grow profitable firms and achieve real financial freedom.
Whether you’re running your own practice or planning your next chapter, you deserve more than investment advice — you deserve a clear, personalized path to build wealth, strengthen your business, and live life on your terms.
That’s what we do.
