From our first meeting, he was warm, friendly, and genuinely willing to spend as much time as we needed to understand the details. What impressed us most was his ability to think through scenarios we hadn't even considered. He didn't just fill out forms; he really looked at our specific situation and helped us plan for 'what-ifs' that were completely off our radar. If you are looking for an attorney who is thorough, patient, and a pleasure to work with, look no further than Michael.

I contacted Susan Jewel to assist with estate planning based on Jewel & Stoneman's positive Yelp…read morereviews and am happy to add my recommendation for Susan. The whole process was well communicated up front and executed efficiently. Susan's approach is very practical and she provided many great examples that made the complexities and potential scenarios easy to understand. She is also very quick to respond to emails. When completing the final paperwork, there's lots of information to absorb and again she made everything totally clear. All and all, very smooth and more engaging than I expected for something I put off for years and years. Highly recommended!

Ten years later I decided to update my trust and again Susan's professionalism, knowledge, expertise and commitment to her clients is still evident. She gifted me with peace of mind.
