Respectful
I am a single woman with no children and not much in my savings and was always too embarrassed to make a will , as I felt any attorney would make me feel as though my Estate wasn't worthwhile. Doug was very kind, professional and answered all my questions in a very patient and respectful manner.

Estate Planning
After seeing a video presentation on estate planning done by Doug, we decided to go to him to draw up our wills, POA's, etc. We are so glad we did as Doug was very helpful in guiding us through all the paperwork. His thoroughness and explanations were very much appreciated. As he was easy to work with, we would and have already recommended him to others.

Elder Law Guidance and Estate Planning
We were referred to Douglas Fendrick by a business associate. After a consultation session it was clear that we would continue our planning and will preparation with Doug. Beyond his knowledge in his field, his approach and focus on our concerns and questions made an otherwise daunting task manageable with a favorable outcome. My wife and I are comfortable knowing that with Doug's guidance, we have 'put our affairs in order' and protected our interests in the future.

Wills & Family Trusts
My wife and I have had a great experience with both Doug and his team with respect to our Wills and Family Trust. You could not ask for a better lawyer/firm to handle and explain in detail what is involved with the very necessary part of getting older. We would highly recommend this firm and are recommending them to our friends and family.

Excellent Service
We saw Doug on a webinar from Medford Leas. We liked him immediately. He seemed so further coming in his knowledge of elder law, especially wills and trusts. The whole experience was painless, enjoyable, professional and caring. We would recommend the services of Fendrick Morgan to all.

Wow
We had our wills previously done by another atty and circumstanced dictated that we redo them. This firm was recommended by a good friend and I'm beyond glad it was. Doug listened to our story, our thoughts, and our circumstances and drafted the appropriate documents in a timely fashion. The professionalism and thoroughness was beyond anything I could have expected. The staff was friendly and helpful. We received a binder with our wills, trust documents, AND directions, definitions to the executor come the day they open it. The signing process was smooth and, again, thorough. They even offer to store your documents for free! I would recommend this firm highly!

Mr. Fenwick had assisted us in estate planning previously and it was time to update our estate plans. A few things had changed and with consultation we were able to reach a happy plan.

He’s your guy!!!!
My husband and I wanted to be sure we chose the right attorney to do our last Will and testament as we are a blended family and had different objectives for our beneficiaries and weren’t sure how to put that all together. After meeting with Doug, we were 100% assured that he was our guy. He listened to us, asked questions, made suggestions and answered all our questions. It was also an added benefit that he is a CPA as well. We are totally satisfied with what he put together for our family. Couldn’t be happier with our decision to use Doug and this firm.

Fantastic with a super staff
Doug Fendrick did our estate planning. First of all, he explained the purpose of each part and had plenty of time for questions. We were never rushed through. He drew up the paperwork in a timely fashion, sent us a copy to review and gave us time at the signing to again ask question. His explanations were always clear. This is the second time we worked with Doug. About ten years ago he drew up my elderly sister and brother's wills and plans. Did an excellent job then. Never have to wait for an appointment. We appreciate his consideration of our time. At the signing, his staff was great. Obviously happy at their jobs and also very knowledgeable. All in all a great experience. Doug and staff deserve more than 5 stars. Well organized, helpful and caring.
