As good as it gets

Anthony is a wonderful man and an exceptional attorney. My wife and I hired him and his brother Chris for estate planning and financial advisement. Best move we could have made, he is patient and extremely knowledgeable in his field. We had him complete the following: Trust Fund, Power of attorney, H...ealth Care proxies, 4 completed last will and testaments. Chris his Brother: Opened 4 retirement accounts and gave us expert guidance and continues his advise any time we call. They are both available whenever you need them. THANK YOU !!!!!

Anthony To The Rescue!

I had plans to travel overseas for a three week vacation with my wife. My Will written by another attorney, was old and needed major revisions. As a Financial Strategist, I know I needed Trust created to ensure my assets were passed on first to my wife and then to my children (and grandchildren) from... a previous marriage. Time was short, I had only two weeks to meet with an Estate Planning attorney and have all documents drafted and executed before our vacation. My wife, Boots is a Retirement Income Certified Professional and gets many attorney referrals in the course of her business. Fortunately for us, my wife received a glowing recommendation about Anthony Minko from trusted business colleague. Our meeting with Anthony was productive and enjoyable. He attentively listen to our concerns, asked the right probing questions, offered alternatives for us to consider, explained how to reduce or eliminate Estate Taxes, drew on a notepad the legal documents required and showed how all the parts fit together to ensure we had the proper Will, Trust, Power of Attorney and health care proxy to protect us and our assets now and after we are gone. We have met with other estate attorneys in the past and the Will and Trust package Anthony executed for us was half of what it would have cost through other attorneys we have interviewed. What I like most is being able to pick up the phone and consult with Anthony on estate issues or concerns related to my will & trust without worrying about being billed for each phone call. So not only Anthony do the documents in record time he provided a “superb value package” at a very reasonable cost. We have referred Anthony to our friends and clients and will continue to do so. Thank you Anthony and your talented team for your exceptional client service.

Exceptional Service

We had an enjoyable and very interesting experience at our interview. Lorena was most informative, explaining much information we weren't aware of as well as being a professional in her responses. We are very confident we made a good choice in choosing Minko Law Office as our Estate Planners. #1.

Experienced, professional and caring

Anthony helped me and several of my extended family members with our estate plans. He took his time explaining all of the details to us. We understand exactly how the documents he created for us will safeguard our assets for future generations and eliminate estate taxes. Thanks to Anthony, we're kn...own as the estate planning experts among our circle of neighbors and friends! Most importantly, he took the time to learn about our family and design a plan to meet our specific needs. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch estate planning attorney!
