Though we went through much of this remotely due to the pandemic, from the very first meeting, it was clear that he's not only incredibly knowledgeable and thorough, but also a genuinely kind and empathetic person. A true family man who understands the emotional weight of estate planning. We had put off this process for years--it always felt too tough. But Adam walked us through everything with clarity and patience. He explained the legal concepts in a way that made sense, and gave us a detailed checklist to help transfer all our assets into the trust. That alone was a game-changer. What really stood out was how he handled the heavier topics with a matter-of-fact approach that was still deeply compassionate. He made it feel okay to talk about the hard stuff, and that made all the difference. Thanks to him, we now have peace of mind knowing our family is protected and our wishes are clearly laid out. I honestly can't imagine how we'd feel today if we hadn't taken this step with his help.

I was able to schedule an appointment with Justin, and I'm so glad I did. Justin took the time to walk us through all of our concerns in detail. He was patient, knowledgeable, and very thorough in explaining what we had already done and what steps we needed to take moving forward. He didn't rush the process and made sure we fully understood everything, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. What really stood out was how prepared and thoughtful he was. He even provided a new Certificate of Trust in advance to address an issue with my middle name--something I hadn't asked for. That level of attention to detail really shows how much he goes above and beyond for his clients. He also gave us a clear checklist of exactly what we needed to do, so when we left the office, I didn't even need to take notes. I also really appreciate that whenever I have questions or concerns, I can reach out and someone from his office will get back to me promptly and make me feel at ease, without any additional charge. That level of support and accessibility means a lot. Justin is someone we truly trust, and it shows in the fact that many of our family members also have their trusts with Litherland, Kennedy & Associates and work with him as their main attorney. He is kind, professional, and genuinely cares about his clients and their families. We left the meeting feeling confident, reassured, and knowing that our family is in good hands. I highly recommend Justin and his team to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy estate planning attorney.
