I had a revocable trust that had been created many years ago in another state, and when I realized…read moreit was well past time to initiate some modifications, I did a little research and decided to contacted Stone Arch Law Office in Minneapolis to inquire about its services. I called the office, indicated my needs, and stated that I would like to work with Attorney Rory Morse, if possible. Shortly thereafter, I was contacted by Client Services Director Meg DeFrance. Meg is charming, and she is an absolute delight to work with. She and I spent a lot of time on the phone, asking and answering questions; and she familiarized me with the way in which Stone Arch handles estate planning. Meg was extremely helpful, and I went to my initial meeting with Rory feeling very well-prepared. The Stone Arch website states: "It is Meg's mission to make sure every client has an exceptional experience!" Meg, without a doubt, does that - and then some! Upon meeting with Rory, I knew almost immediately that I had selected the right attorney! Rory is perceptive, approachable, down to earth, and knowledgeable; and he effectively combines those qualities with a strong sense of professionalism. Rory is thorough to a fault, and he is clearly an expert in his field. I feel very fortunate to have been able to work with him. A review of Stone Arch would not be complete without giving a "hats off" to Legal Assistant Kat Gehrke, who works in the front office. Kat answered the phone the second time I called, and I immediately felt like I was talking to an old friend. Kat is warm, upbeat, and accommodating, and I believe she is in a perfect position to make new or prospective clients feel very much at home as she welcomes them to the office. I can't imagine working with an estate planning firm other than Stone Arch Law Office. The office really is the complete package, and if you're thinking about creating a will or a trust, about making sure your future heirs and assets are protected, and/or about delving into any other areas of estate planning, I strongly recommend you contact Stone Arch before going any further. I am absolutely sure you'll be glad that you did!

He provided a wealth of information and throughout the process, we didn't feel rushed or shorted. He listened, answered questions, highlighted pitfalls for us etc. The value of his counsel is worth far more than the fee we paid. Unlike other law firms we had called, Stone Arch team took the time to have a paralegal reach out and spend a full 30-minutes on basics and what to expect from the process before we even committed to engaging their services. Don't hesitate, they are as great as we say they are. CIAO

Susan is very knowledgeable and was able to help me with my estate that essentially covered everything that could possibly happen and was very informative in the process.

There was a misunderstanding initially that had to be re-worked, and initially they charged me to fix it, but they quickly adjusted the bill when I inquired about it, which I was thankful for. I would overall recommend this group to anyone considering creating a trust. That is what Susan Peterson-Lerdahl specializes in, and she does an excellent job.

I found Metropolitan Law Group on line and they were so helpful and compassionate from the get go. Barbara Connelly communicated constantly with me and guided me through the whole process. She always checked in on how I was doing and always asked how my brother was doing. His health was declining rapidly and I had to fly back to DC. I contacted them on a Thursday and they squeezed me in for a Zoom call Monday morning with the owner, Lisa Haster. Lisa was very easy to talk to and very kind to my brother. She was very expeditious and got the information she needed and we were done within 15 minutes. Jodi Dybsetter, the paralegal, got all of the forms sent to me quickly and I was able to print them out at UPS. I was able to get a notary Tuesday morning to my brother's hospital room and we made everything official. I scanned it back to Jodi and they were able to get everything recorded by Wednesday.
