In 2011, after more than thirty years in the institutional fiduciary services business including working in a bank trust department, helping start the first non-family sponsored trust company in Washington state, and opening the Seattle office for a major west coast trust company, Michael decided to open his own private fiduciary services company, Vranizan & Associates. In 2022, the decision was made to merge Vranizan & Associates Fiduciary Services with the Law Firm of Vranizan Group, PLLC, where Michael now oversees the administrative section of the firm.

As part of his work, Michael manages over sixty trusts and estates at any given time with assets in excess of $75,000,000.00. With extensive strategic planning experience and a track record of developing and sustaining long term relationships with high-net-worth clients, Michael leverages his deep knowledge of complex and sophisticated wealth management strategies and techniques to add genuine value to all of his client and advisor relationships.
