Estate Plannng Program

Dagmar Pollex took me on as a client in 2005. She set up my Estate Planning Program and Trust so I am now confident that if I can no longer handle my own affairs I can rely on her as my Attorney and Executor to see that my financial affairs are taken care of, my bills are paid, and matters pertai...ning to my health care are in capable hands. I am 95 years old and knowing that Dagmar Pollex will be taking care of my financial and health affairs no longer worry about the future.

Review of Attorney Dagmar Pollex

I have been a client of Dagmar Pollex for more than 10 years and have always been very satisfied with her thoroughness, detail and knowledge which she has provided my family throughout the years. Her sound judgement and thorough review of my estate needs has been reassuring. Ms. Pollex handled my mot...hers complete estate plan as well as my own.

My experience working with Dagmar Pollex

My husband and I have worked with a few lawyers since our marriage 39 years ago. When my husband's business became quite lucrative and we were , also, advancing in age , we decided we needed more legal advise than our present lawyer was providing for us. We learned about Dagmar through a business... acquaintance and from our first meeting, we knew her office was where we needed to be. She began with discussing our future plans and continued with health care proxies , guardianships, and wills. Because there was a divorce with four children involved our combined estate became a little confusing to me. She patiently ( extremely patiently) explained all our choices and helped us set up protection for all four daughters in terms of the business including an insurance policy to protect our assists. She then divided our property so our two daughters would be our primary beneficiaries of our private estate. She continued working with us and began to set up trustees and trust funds. She has not needed to do any court cases for us . But we are able to feel very confidant that all our wills, estate plans, and most importantly, our desires for after our deaths are written and acknowledged by both my husband and myself. Dagmar made us feel very comfortable in her office and explained every option in clear and precise fashion including her very knowledgable suggestions. She sends us a monthly newsletters with new tax regulations which could affect how we manage our estate and is always vert responsive to our phone calls and questions. Dagmar is very social and our meetings with her always include updates on our travels, families, and future plans. Unfortunately, my husband has been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and the fact that I have Dagmar as my lawyer, I feel better knowing she will be here for me as future plans and needs arise. I cannot recommend a nicer, knowledgable, confident person than Dagmar Pollex to be our personnel attorney.

Dagmar Pollex

Ms. Pollex is one of the most professional, responsive, and knowledgeable lawyers I have worked with. My first encounter was through a recommendation from my account for a good Elder Care lawyer for my mother. After meeting Dagmar, at which time I immediately established trust that my mother's esta...te was in good hands, Dagmar was hired. Through years of management and interaction with Dagmar, I always could count on her to help guide us along. As a result, I have hired Dagmar to manage my estate, as well.
