This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Estate Planning Attorney

We have depended on Kevin, and now his son and colleague Paul O'Brien to help our family with our estate planning for many years. They provide sound advice, take the time to present the options and explain the reasoning behind all of the estate planning documents. Kevin did our Trust documents al...most 20 years ago and it was time (maybe past time) to update them. Paul took this on and was great to work with, patient and knowledgable. He explained the options and we worked to apply them to our situation, He made the process easy and understandable. We highly recommend Kevin and Paul for estate and trust planning.

An easy going attorney with seriously good estate planning approach.

Kevin is an excellent and experienced estate planning attorney. I feel he has my family's best interests at heart in his recommendations. My family includes a child with special needs and charitable intentions, both of which he easily handled in his overall plan. We also own a small business which... he was able to integrate into our estate plan, with additional asset protection I feel was necessary.

Experienced lawyer at a reasonable price

Kevin takes time with his clients and explains options in an easy-to-understand way. He bills on a flat fee basis. He still answers my questions without continued billing, even years after retaining him.

  • 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.
