About Bunker L
Bunker L Highmark is an attorney based in Massachusetts who has built a practice around estate planning and related areas of law. He combines an undergraduate liberal arts background with advanced legal training. The result is a lawyer who moves comfortably between complex documents and direct client conversations.
He earned an A.B. from Dartmouth College before attending the University of Connecticut School of Law, where he received his J.D. He later completed an LL.M. at Boston University School of Law, pursuing graduate-level study that broadened his legal training and research skills.
After completing his formal education, Highmark entered private practice. Over time he developed experience in estate planning, probate and trust administration. He handles wills, trust drafting and the administration processes that follow a death. He also advises on measures designed to manage incapacity and the transfer of assets across generations.
Highmark maintains professional ties through local organizations. He is a member of the Boston Estate Planning Council, which brings together attorneys, accountants and financial planners who work on estate and tax planning. He also belongs to the Massachusetts Bar Association, where he participates in the broader legal community and stays current on changes in state law and procedure.
Clients describe his approach as straightforward and detail-oriented. He favors plain language in drafts and in conversations, aiming to make legal choices accessible. At the same time he prepares documents intended to stand up to scrutiny, paying attention to formal requirements and potential pitfalls that can arise in probate and trust administration.
Outside of casework he remains engaged with continuing legal education and peer discussions. That engagement helps him monitor developments that may affect estate and fiduciary planning. He currently practices in Massachusetts, handling estate planning, wills, trusts and probate matters.
