Meet the Butterworths: A Legacy of Advocacy and Expertise

MP Butterworth & Associates began with a promise to help families facing the toughest challenges. When Mike Butterworth was in fifth grade, he befriended Michael O’Connell, who lived with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Witnessing the daily challenges of a family managing special needs, Mike realized that traditional financial guidance wasn’t enough—families needed an advocate who could help with financial plans while working with an attorney to navigate benefits, legal documents, and long-term planning.


Today, while Mike continues his lifelong commitment, his son Chris plays a key role in shaping the firm’s future. Chris has introduced fresh ideas and modern strategies that have refined our client engagement and streamlined our processes, allowing us to better serve the evolving needs of our community. Together, their leadership blends enduring dedication with innovative thinking, reinforcing our goal of simplifying the complex.
