Elder Law 20%

I take great delight in helping my elderly clients in need especially following an unexpected medical diagnosis or life changing event. I offer them hope and confidence that we can successfully plan to save a life time of savings and income from the devastating costs of long term care and sickness. I meet with the family including adult children to identify strategies and opportunities to meet their challenges and then upon agreement prepare the necessary legal documents to execute the plan.

Bonnie Wright Esq. and Tracy Balsamo

Bonnie Wright, Esq. and Tracy Balsamo, of Hanlon, Niemann and Wright, are the best team! They recently represented my family and me in selling our childhood home. I was completely satisfied with the support and protection I received from them throughout the entire process. These ladies will make sure... your best interests are first and foremost and they Will Not be intimidated. They go above and beyond. You can feel very safe in their hands. They did very well by us!! I would highly recommend them to everyone!

Help With wills and power of attorney documents

Fred Niemann and his staff were easy to deal with and saved us a huge amount of money. The first lawyer we went to insisted that my wife and I needed complex wills, involving the establishment of many trusts, adding thousands of dollars to the cost. He actually refused to do the simpler wills. So we ...went to our next choice, Hanlon, Niemann & Wright. Fred, hearing the same story from us as the first lawyer, gave us the same explanation of the risk of not using trusts. But Fred listened to our explanation of why we believed that we didn't need them. He agreed with us., and Hanlon Niemann put together the two wills and the power of attorney documents that were exactly what we both wanted, and for less than the first lawyer would have charged for the simple wills that we had originally asked for. If we ever need help from a law firm again, guess who we will call.

The Best!

I have worked with a few firms in the past but I can honestly say that Bonnie and Tracy from Hanlon Niemann and Wright were far the best. I will not use anyone else from here on out and will be sure to refer them to anyone who is searching for a professional and competent team to help them meet their... goals.

Excellent service, with empathy

I recently met with Attorney Niemann regarding my uncle's case. My uncle is the victim of financial exploitation by his son. Mr. Niemann met with us remotely on a Zoom call which was extremely helpful as we are currently located in another state. I was invited to share my case materials with Mr. N...iemann in advance, which helped greatly to have a prepared first meeting and get right down to the legal advice. Mr. Niemann provided excellent counsel and realistic expectations as to best practices and next steps needed to successfully resolve our legal issue. I would highly recommend Mr. Niemann to anyone who has a sensitive situation that requires legal expertise especially in the area of Elder law. I am confident and reassured that I found the right attorney for my family's situation, and am grateful to have made his acquaintance. I will be using Mr. NIemann again if I have another opportunity.
