Estate Planning

Ken was highly recommended by another attorney who didn't practice the area of law I was in need of. It was a perfect match for my needs. He is friendly, professional and courteous. He is able to convey clearly all the information needed to estate plan without overwhelming you with the legal jargon b...ut not so simplistic that you are confident you comprehend the applicable language of the law. I came away with a reliable finished product for my needs. It was unrushed and all the necessary bases were covered before we finalized the paperwork and completed the process.

Ken explained all the ins and outs of the process He was very thorough and explained it in simple terms and also brought to our attention many things we did not consider. We are very happy with the finished product and would not hesitate to recommend him to our family and friends.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
