Highly Recommended Attorney!

The pandemic and retirement (my own and that of my estate attorney) prompted me to take a fresh look at my will and estate documents. My financial planner recommended Guy Bowe. Over the course of several Zoom and in-person meetings, Guy guided me through the process of updating all of my documents w...ith humor, patience, and a degree of thoroughness I had not encountered in previous experiences in working with estate attorneys. While I was working with Guy, my elderly mother expressed an interest in updating her will and trust to reflect her wish to help her grandchildren pay off their college loans. Using anecdotes and examples, as well as a bit of levity during at times emotionally difficult discussions, Guy demonstrated a flair for illustrating a variety of scenarios for distributing her estate, pointing out the pros and cons of each. My mother and I always felt listened to and respected and greatly appreciated Guy's expert advice and insights. Working with Guy was a very positive experience, and my mother and I thoroughly recommend him!

Engaged/passionate lawyer

My wife and I realized we needed to update our wills/POAs/estate plan/etc after a career/life change (I retired from the military/fed govt and joined the private sector and my wife went back into elementary school teaching). Not only was Guy very organized and detailed, he was extremely patient and ...timely as he helped us navigate a process that can be overwhelming. I STRONGLY recommend Guy if/when the time is right for these type of legal services. We will definitely stay in touch with him over the foreseeable future as our 4 kids grow up and/or we have any other life changes.

Guy Bowe, an Exceptional Attorney

On my 70th birthday my wife and I decided to have our wills and estate planning redone. Guy was recommended by our financial planner. We are forever grateful for the recommendation. I'm a retired MD with years of experience working with attorneys in various personal and professional endeavors. Gu...y is the most knowledgable and caring lawyer with whom I've ever worked. Needless to say, estate planning is a potentially painful discussion of of a difficult subject. Guy managed to get all of our information needed through sensitive and humor. His technical worth was never in doubt, but his compassion makes him exceptional. If guy is a reflection of his law firm (Wade Grimes Friedman Meinkin & Leischner PLLC), my wife and I will look no further for any future legal needs.
