    • I recommend Steven Greenwood.
    • I hired Steven < 1 month ago.
    • Steven handled my Estate Planning matter.
    • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

    Steven and his staff were outstanding and helped my husband and I understand all of our options as they pertained to our Estate Plan. Our situtation was very untraditional and complicated and Steven spent the time to map out the options, the pros and cons and made sure we had the tools we needed to move forward. His process was painless (to my surprise) and in Steve's model for maintenance, it makes it totally easy to sure the end to end plan can be maintained easily on an ongoing basis. Steven is a trusted advisor and I highly recommend his services.

    Steve Greenwood made my husband and I feel at home in an atmosphere of respect and mutual confidence. We knew what the fees were before we came to his office. We looked at his online videos. We watched a highly educational DVD titled "Estate Planning Essentials: Keeping You Off The Government Plan!" We were prepared to understand his presentation and we were delighted with all the new information we were learning about the ins and outs of this legal process. This is important because we were coming off a very depressing experience with our last estate lawyer. All terms were clearly explained and our options were presented in an easy to understand manner. We were given check sheets to fill out and items to bring with us.The research we did into our own assets helped us to organize and locate everything. We were impressed with this lawyer's open style and friendliness.We feel more prepared to deal with our own future because the right person is here to guide us.

    On May 16, 2011 my wife was told she needed cancer surgery on June 1. We suddenly realized we had to get our Living Trust done quickly. A friend referred us to Steve. We spoke on the phone and I was able to see him the same day. He advised me about what a living trust is all about. He said he would do his very best to have it all completed before June 1st. After a few visits and verifying information, we signed the papers to create our Trust on May 26, 2011. Mr. "G" truly cares about people. He is interested in your problems. You never feel his is rushing you. He explains everything with 100% clarity. Mr G. has pride in his business and in himself. Also, Mr. G has the kindest and most helpful assistant, Jodi Regan. She was so helpful with phone calls and keeping us informed on the latest developments. We cannot say enough of how happy we are about the job Mr. G performed for us. There's not many people you can trust in business. But you can trust Mr. G; he does what he says he will do. We thank both Steve and Jodi so much!
