Advisor Spotlight
For some people, it’s a job. For others, it’s an opportunity to infuse their day-to-day tasks with a passion to help. From this passion, we recognize advisors who encourage and present philanthropic opportunities to clients who are planning their estates and intend to support the fight against cancer.

Michael D. Wild, JD
American Cancer Society National Professional Advisor of the Year
Michael D. Wild, JD, an NPAN member, has participated in the American Cancer Society Real Men Wear Pink program for three years and was named highest fundraising Real Men Wear Pink participant in 2018 for Broward county. Michael is the first Real Men participant to have vowed to wear a pink jacket every day in October to raise funds and awareness in the fight against breast cancer. Logo placements on his jacket provided not only brand awareness for supporters, but also engaged those companies in the cause. Michael is the managing partner of Wild Felice & Partners, PA, and he is a leader in his community. He serves on the boards of several local nonprofits and has chaired many committees. Michael was named Small Business Person of the Year for the City of Plantation and was listed in the Wall Street Journal as one of South Florida’s Top Attorneys.

This prestigious designation, selected by other lawyers in Florida, is bestowed upon less than three percent of all attorneys each year. With a genuine enthusiasm for his work, Michael is a frequent speaker to advisors and clients on the subjects of estate planning, wealth transfer, probate administration, and asset protection. He prides himself on implementing a holistic approach to planning, treating his clients like family and working with them instead of talking at them.
