Where to begin with Spirit West Certified Planning?…read more For more than 25 years my husband and I were encouraged to have a trust set up. We were very busy business owners and never seemed to make a priority. We thought it would be an onerous and very time consuming deal...UNTIL we met our neighbors, Kevin and Amelia Schaefer. We learned they were certified trust and estate planners. Kevin took the time to briefly explain why we needed a trust. We did NOT want to have to go through probate. So, we booked an appointment. The entire office staff is friendly and makes you feel like you are family. We were so blown away by the expert advice and time that Kevin took to explain every little detail. He guided us on decisions that we had wrestled with in deciding what would happen when we are at the end of our life. We are professionals and have been in business for more than 30 years. We know expertise when we see it. Kevin is the consummate professional. We were so impressed with the level of service that we referred Kevin and Sprit West to my 85 year old mother, who was in dire need of a trust. Before you know it, Kevin had her all set up and it's a good thing. Recently, she was hospitalized and if the trust and medical documents weren't in place we would be in a world of hurt. I could go on and on about the level of service that Spirit West provides. But I think you get the picture. I am grateful that my husband and I now have peace of mind in how our estate will be administered. Thank you, Kevin, Amelia, Jonathan and all the staff members at Spirit West. We will be sure to refer your services to everyone we know!

We've now used this law firm for one year and couldn't be happier. Mike Menlove is hardworking,…read morewell organized and smart. We recently had him prepare our joint trust. Mike was thorough and added failsafes to insure no one would succeed to change our wishes after our deaths. He wrote it far more clearly than what was stated in our Wills. He doesn't rush through questions but explains what's in your Trust so you truly understand how it works. You receive far more than what you pay for. He's a good, caring attorney. We know he has our backs! Anna at front counter is a jewel. She'll make you feel at home and welcome. We are 100% pleased w Mike Menlove's firm!

I cannot recommend them more highly!

I've called lots of local attorneys. Looking for a rough price on creating a family trust. (I know…read moreprices may vary a lot depending on what is involved in your own family) From almost every other attorney, I was able to get a rough price first, $1000 to $4000 is about how much it has varied which is fine. Ladty who answered the phone refused to provide any details at all other than to say she could schedule a free in-person meeting. My time is more precious than that. If you can't give me very basic information as ALL other law offices have, I will not be coming to you. This should have been a fairly simple request and if you had provided a reasonable range ($1000-$2500 in my opinion), then I might have scheduled that first meeting.

I'm an insurance broker for people over age 65 and all I was trying to do was find someone…read moretrustworthy and knowledgeable in Elder Law to refer my existing Medicare clients over to when they need a consultation on setting up a trust in order to qualify for Medicaid. The earliest appointment her office would give me was a week and a half after I initially called them. I was clear in my initial conversation with her assistant, Katie, that I only needed a 15 minute block of time to speak with Julie and I was interested in referring business to Julie without expecting any sort of compensation in return. When our scheduled appointment date and time arrived, I received no phone call. I called Julie's office and I asked Katie when Julie was going to call me. Her assistant told me that "Julie was busy with another client and wouldn't be able to speak with me at all today". I was shocked that I had to call in to Julie's office to find out that she was going to ignore our appointment that was scheduled a week and a half ago! Julie blew me off and didn't even extend me the courtesy of having her assistant call me in advance to tell me that a 15 minute meeting together was not worth her time. Personally, I would NEVER treat anyone like this, but I guess everyone runs their business in their own unique way. Dealing with Julie's receptionist today gave me a really good eye-opening preview of how my Medicare clients and their POAs would have been treated if I had referred them over to Julie for consultations and for their Trust documents to be drafted. Her rate is $275 per hour and she charges $1,400 to draft a simple Miller Trust document, so there are more affordable options available. As a small business owner myself, I understand that the need to reschedule appointments comes up from time to time, but to have so little respect for someone else and their time that you don't even bother to notify them that you won't be keeping your appointment with them is really low. I will never refer any of my clients in Arizona to Julie Martin. That's my personal experience with the Law Offices of Julie Martin Elder & Special Needs Law, PLLC and hopefully your experience is better than my own.

The man is ugly in his manner towards other people, no handshake, no greeting. In our case both my husband and I were in the meeting and he went to town insulting us from the start. We came with a real estate contract dispute, well prepared, documents lined up in a row and he wouldn't so much as look at them, just started pontificating on how great he was and how hopeless our case was because he was too expensive. We subsequently spoke with another professional and learned that some of the "facts" that he spouted out to us were not accurate. There are some good attorneys that help people, Mr. Goodman is NOT one of them.
