Highly recommended for Estate Planning

Christian did our revocable trust in 2022, he was thorough in explaining all the nuances of setting up a Trust as compared to a Will. Due to the complexity of our situation a Revocable Trust was the preferred instrument to use. He is very patient with all the questions we had and was able to explain ...in a way we can understand. The fee/charges were reasonable for the amount of work and back and forth put into writing up the Trust. Would high recommend Christian for Estate Planning. In addition, he was always available to assist and provide guidance or recommendations/referrals for other legal matters whenever I called.
