All this with the utmost integrity. For the amount of time and work that Richard devoted to our issues we felt his bill was very reasonable. We will certainly use him again if needed.

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.

BEWARE DO YOUR RESEARCH and read through what powers of…read moreattorney you are giving to this organization, Easy to sign your family life away. Review and document what billing rates you agree to! They are good with adding on hidden or unexplained rates. It is easy to rack up billing time as they charge a high fee per hour even if it is just to review questions to clarify their own services. My family was charged for services with my mother that she did not agree to, they were able to bill without notifying us beforehand of the payments due. This is due to the powers my mother signed over to them to be used only in emergency but they were able to charge our accounts that they helped manage.

We got a few recommendations from a friend, but none of them panned out because of cost, lack of responsiveness, or us having a "bad feeling" about some attorneys. We found Michael on Yelp and could not be more happy! Michael and Louis have an amazing philosophy, are extremely helpful and personable, and inspire so much confidence. We came to them knowing very little of what we needed or how to accomplish it, but knowing our end goal of securing our legacy and financial future. They walked us through every step, every word, and empowered us to make the right decisions for us. From the planning phase, to the homework, to the review and addition, they were only a quick call, text, or email away. They were also extremely thoughtful about aspects outside the legal trust that were invaluable, such as how to talk to our advisors, trustees, executors, and family members. Additionally, they were extremely communicative, upfront, and honest. I could not recommend them anymore.

When my last sibling died in 2018, I asked Matt to help me review and update all my estate planning documents.
