Our Team

  Stephanie Maloney is the President of Premier Estate Planning.  She met Mike Jr. 35 years ago in West Des Moines, Iowa.  Upon graduation from Iowa State, they moved to Arizona.  She began the early part of her career as the office administator for Mike's financial practice and was quickly drawn to the Estate Planning side of the table.   She enjoys building client relationships and maintaining them. It is never my goal to complete a job for a client and say “your on your own now”. I expect that when the client needs assistance on an existing issue or something new arises, they will never hesitate to call. I want to help clients and associates work through the challenges that currently face them….no need to do it alone, when you have a team.  

She is happy to say that her son Mike III joined the team four years ago and is the foundation of our next generation of planners.  

Additionally, she enjoys serving families with the various Life Insurance tools that help make our lives more secure.  

Michael began his career in Estate Planning over 30 years ago.   He began his career in Iowa, traveling all around the Midwest doing Estate Planning Education for other professional's clientele.  Looking for a change in 1992, he and his father moved to Arizona and began a personal practice in Estate Planning & Financial Services.  Michael has had a 32 year career and continues to serve his clients and other professionals.  

Michael formally joined Premier in 2020, but he has literly grown up in the business.  He is a local, hometown guy, growing up in  Cave Creek, Arizona.  Michael is a graduate of Cactus Shadows & attended Phoenix College to play football.  Much of his youth & adolesents was spent in youth sports, giving his an understanding of being a team player.  Every family that walks through our "door", is going to be takend care of by the Premier Team, so Mike is a natural fit.  He is the next generation to serve clients, making sure we will be here well into the future.   

Joseph W.G. Maloney is the newest member of the Premier team.  Joseph has a passion for people, which he has been serving through his wellness business Maloney Healing Remdies over the past five years.  This is a natural extension to now serve the public in the areas of estate and financial planning...making sure they have a rock-solid foundation to insure a beautiful family legacy.

It would be amiss to not mention Michael Moloney, SR.   He began serving the pubic in 1968, in Detroit, Michigan.  He focused on the Insurance Industry with an emphasis on Estate Planning.   He was an amazing mentor to his son, Michael Maloney, JR. & daughter in law Stephanie.  He taught us the fundamentals of Insurance and Estate Planning with an emphasis on the value of the client experience and relationships.    We lost him June 4th of this year... Thank you Mike Senior for teaching us well.

Jennifer joined Premier Estate Planning in October 2020.  She brings much wisdom and compassion to our families.  She desired to become an Estate Planning educator, so she can help families avoid the issues that her own parents' estate went through.  She is well aware of the importance of getting the proper legal documents in place, before there is a problem that only attorneys can solve.  She takes the time needed to help families and individuals actually understand what the process entails and what the various documents are.  She looks forward to serving you.  

Steve Johnson graduated from the University of Arizona College of Law in 1985.  He joined Premier back in 1995 and has been a valuabe member of the team.  When we made the decision to operate our practice under the Arizona Certified Legal Document Program in 2004, Steve decided to come with us.  He chose to operate as an AZCDLP (Arizona Certified Legal Document Prepaer), in leiu of a member of the Arizona Bar Association.   He provides a vast base of knowledge that has served our clients well through the years.  He may not be able to represent you in a court of law, but he does a wonderful job keeping you out of the courts with well-drafted documents.

Steve has one adult son and enjoys fishing and the outdoors in his free time.  

William C. (Bill) Harper has worked in the financial industry for over 25 years. As such, he is very familiar with estate planning and the need for individuals to have proper documents in place that will assure individuals that their wishes will be followed in the event they become incapacitated or upon death. He has been a residential mortgage loan officer and is Certified as a Notary Signing Agent. He is a member of the National Notary Association as well as the Fidelity National Title Group.

I pride myself in getting to know each client, so that I can understand their individual needs and what matters most to them.  In addition to assisting familes in the area of Estate Planning, he also works with The Wealth Store and families financial goals.  He recognized the value of the Estate Planning, insuring that all of the potential issues could be handled proactively.  It's important to have all of the controls in place, just in case that horrible event should happen

My beautiful wife, Karen, and I have been married for 20 years. Together, we have three children, Hayden, Alyssa, and Keenan. A graduate of Arizona State University, I enjoy spending time witth my friends and family.

Jackie Jointer is a devoted wife, mother, and licensed health and life insurance agent with years of experience helping families protect what matters most. Her passion for estate planning extends across the country, where she guides clients in creating lasting legacies and achieving peace of mind for their loved ones.

With a genuine, caring approach, Jackie believes that planning for the future is one of the greatest gifts you can give your family. She takes pride in making complex topics simple and empowering her clients to make confident, informed decisions about their financial well-being.

When she's not helping clients secure their futures, Jackie enjoys hiking, mountain biking, and swimming— embracing life's adventures with the same enthusiasm she brings to her work.

With over 20 years of experience in the mortgage and real estate industry, I’ve seen firsthand how important it is to protect what you’ve worked a lifetime to build. Now, in estate planning client services, I help individuals and families create clear, customized plans that ensure their wishes are honored and their estates are protected for future generations.

My work focuses on education first — helping clients understand the key differences between wills and trusts, and guiding them through the entire estate planning process. From trust packages to financial and medical powers of attorney, I offer practical solutions designed to bring peace of mind.

Outside of my professional work, I’m deeply passionate about serving my local community. I’ve had the honor of sitting on the advisory board of several local nonprofits and regularly volunteer with a variety of local charities. Giving back is a core value in both my personal and professional life.

I’m also a proud mom of two adult sons and recently became a first-time grandmother — a role that has made my mission to help families protect their legacies feel even more meaningful.

Whether you're just starting your estate planning journey or looking to update an existing plan, I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
