John L. Laster

I called Mr. laster and told him my issues with the trust. He said to email him my questions which I did. Then called him and asked him if he could help me with it. He said to come to his office which i did. He spent time or wasted time asking my name and address and beneficiary s name all the inform...ation that i had given him in writing. He went on talking around without talking about the trust. After 30 minutes he said, he was sorry he could not help me because he was too busy to take another client and gave me a few attorneys ' name. And he said since he did not spend full hour, instead of $750.00 he was willing to charge me $500.00 which he did and which I paid. He has no knowledge about Special Need Trust. Watch out! There are some attorneys say they can help you with Special Need Trust just to take your money. You are better off by learning on internet and fill a form and printed. It may cost $59 and you can add want you want. If beneficiary is recipient of SSI then you must watch out want you allow the trust to pay. Avoid this attorney if you need Special Need Trust.

We hired John Laster to put together our first set of estate planning documents (wills; powers of attorney; health/ HIPPA, financial and incapacity agent designations). The interview was aided by a helpful client data sheet that we filled out and emailed back, and a fee schedule that let us know wha...t we would be charged up front, depending on the complexity of what we ultimately wanted done. Mr. Laster provided us with excellent guidance, minimizing unnecessary costs, based on our interview. He was very personable and easy to talk with, which put us at ease. We would recommend Mr. Laster to anyone seeking these services.

John Laster was highly recommended to me. My partner and I find his legal services on a continuing basis excellent. He very carefully considered our overall family needs and personal interests in developing our estate plans and legal directives. Subsequent events have verified his health care reco...mmendations.

I am not an attorney. However, I have spent a long professional life in program and policy issues related to aging. I selected John Laster as my attorney as a result of professional recommendations and I have not been disappointed. He is clearly not a "one size fits all" attorney. He spent consid...erable time counseling me and my partner on the selection and wording of instruments to insure that my wishes will be observed in the event that I am incapacitated. His assistance was also valuable in reviewing my fathers legal directives. I recommend without hesitation.

John and his team were so helpful when I was named executor of an estate that I hired him to help plan mine. The estate I administered went without a hitch. The setting up of my trust and planning of my estate also went very smoothly. John's warm personality, sense of humor and very thorough mann...er fit my style to a "T." I highly recommend him.
