Just wanted to recommend the Althaus Law Firm, which created my will for me. The attorney who drafted my will (Kayla Seale) was knowledgeable, helpful and, in particular, patient. I have a large number of books (in excess of 11,000 ranging from history to politics to historical fiction, to name just a few categories), as well as a large number of DVDs (probably in excess of 2,500, covering all matter of genres). I was having difficulty trying to find appropriate beneficiaries for those collections (perhaps because of the large number of email and telephone scams in the last few years). As a result, I needed a few months to put together the designated recipients. Kayla patiently helped me during that process. More importantly, she also helped me find a personal representative firm, which would later serve as my legal executor of the estate when that time arrives. She also helped me find a medical representative firm, to assist me with any medical needs. The law firm itself is a breath of fresh air. The offices of the lawyers each has an individual decor based upon a favorite movie (ranging from Caddyshack to Die Hard). The decor includes not only posters and photos of the particular film, but also artwork related to the film that was specially crafted for the particular office. The result is a pleasant atmosphere that is also reflected in the rest of the office decor. All the lawyers and the staff are friendly and helpful as well. In fact, the front desk includes a resident dog with curly white hair and a wonderful personality. All together, these touches make the law firm a nice place to visit, which is nothing like the usual formal, sometimes intimidating, atmosphere of a law office. I highly recommend the Althaus Law Firm to one and all. read more

It's never fun to plan your will: plans you made in the past were about the future of which you planned to be there! Planning an estate and drawing up a will is important planning; however, you will not be there...very different and rather unnerving. Fortunately, Jeff Althaus is a friendly professional lawyer who will guide you through the process which I ultimately found to be relatively easy thanks to Jeff's approach. Since he worked for the state of Colorado for 2 years doing probate work, Jeff knows the 'ins-and-outs' of probate law and provides many fail-safe clauses to the final documents that are important: I know because recently, I have been dealing with my mother's estate and will for the past 9 months. Putting one's final wishes on paper is not my idea of a barrel of laughs. Thankfully, I felt that Jeff Althaus was competent, understood the laws governing probate, estates and wills here in Colorado which served to increase my confidence in the final documents created by Jeff. The other good news? Jeff and I did in fact, have several good laughs throughout the entire process! Not only would I recommend attorney Althaus, I have already recommended him to friends of mine who I have known for over 40 years. High praise indeed... read more

My original plan was to go online and create a will and/or trust, however after a lot of research I was still confused and hesitant to do this myself. My wife and I went to a few law firm "presentations" but felt like they were all trying to up sell us with complex trusts. As it turned out, we didn't need to spend the large sum of money that these firms suggested was necessary to protect our interest. We read some of the excellent reviews that Althaus Law had received and felt comfortable setting up a meeting. After the first meeting, we both felt more comfortable with Jeff than we had with any other estate planning attorney. He was knowledgeable, professional and always ready and willing to answer questions and explain what we didn't understand. He made a difficult process very comfortable. Thanks to Jell Althaus, we now have the peace of mind knowing that if something should happen to my wife or I, our affairs are in order. read more

WOWZA!!! Completely COMPASSIONATE and KNOWLEDGEABLE expertise has been demonstrated by Jeffrey Althaus and his staff. Everything was sufficiently explained concerning the estate planning and will-making process. My hubbie and I knew we needed someone who really understood what we needed and had learned as a result of another family member's stressful probate experience. **Often times "we don't know what we don't know". While initially visiting his office I was offered an easy to read, life-changing book about Estate Planning: 'You Only Die Once' by Jeffrey Althaus. Highly recommend picking up a copy at one of his offices in Northglenn or Longmont. There aren't a lot of Elder Law offices in the Denver Metro area, so if you want your mind to be at rest choose the BEST. Soooooooooo GRATEFUL we chose Althaus Law!!! read more

Experiencing the death of my parents has been the hardest life experience I've ever had, however, adding all the legalities of probate makes the ordeal much more stressful and emotional. Through it all, Jeff was knowledgeable and professional. He took time to explain the process and documents in laymen's terms and was very patient through every step of the way. His communication skills are excellent, he returns emails and phone calls in a timely manner, and he used his knowledge of the law to make sure that I was well informed and a participant in the decision making process. Jeff took the time to get to know me and my brother and to understand our needs, then made every effort to deliver within what the law allows. I cannot thank Jeff enough and would highly recommend Althaus Law! read more

Jeff met with me to carefully assess my individual needs for estate planning. He described all of the available options that met my needs, the pros and cons of each approach in very clear, direct language. I really appreciated his attention to detail and that he treated me as an individual. On our follow-up visit, he presented me with all of the documents that we had discussed and explained each in detail before signature. He made a daunting process very easy and straight forward. He explained every aspect thoroughly and I walked away impressed and happy that I chose Jeff. He is punctual, dedicated, and goal oriented - he really wants you to get what YOU want/need. I would highly recommend him for any kind of estate planning, from very simple to highly complex. read more

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Jeff to assist us with estate planning following the birth of our daughter. He came highly recommended from a neighbor who he had provided similar services. Though we had been to an informational seminar prior, we asked Jeff start at the ground level to reeducate us. He took the time to explain each of the plans that we were working on and was extremely flexible with the appointment times at a very reasonable cost. Jeff has followed up with us on every step along the way to ensure that we completed homework on our end and has been fantastic to work with. He put our mind at ease on a difficult topic and guided us along the way. Thank you Jeff! read more
