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.

A positive experience

My wife and I consulted with Christian regarding bringing our estate documents up to date and ultimately had him draw up new wills, POA documents, and AMDs. His patient explanations of the many complicated and nuanced issues involved and his recommendations for how best to address them according to ...our individual situation and goals were consistently clear and seemed to make good sense. A couple of minor glitches with the final wording in some of the documents, but all in all the experience was quite positive.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
