Best Estate Planner

Mr. Johnson was truly outstanding in setting up our family trust. Mt wife and I sleep better at night knowing that our children are now protected. Very professional and very savvy IRT estate laws.

Mr. Johnson prepared our family trust. Mr. Johnson did an outstanding job. He is the consummate professional and extremely knowledgeable on the subject. I highly recommended him.

Professionalism and integrity

Mr. Johnson prepared my original Living Trust several years ago and it was in need of updating. As with my first experience with him, Jeremy was professional, helpful and very personable during our meetings and recommended I needed only amendments rather than a complete re-write which saved me a cons...iderable amount of money. Along with his excellent work, I greatly appreciated his integrity. I highly recommend Jeremy and his staff.

Estate Planning and Special Needs Trust

I recently retired from the Federal Government. My wife and I knew we needed a review of our wills, advanced medical directives, and related items. We also have a 33 year old special needs son and wanted to insure that his financial needs were met while protecting his benefits and services. We wanted... to avoid the horrors of the state social service system. While we had previous trusts and wills, none were as thorough and as well-integrated as was Mr. Johnson's understanding of our needs, desires, and requirements; his approach and explanation; and the products. Our previous wills and trusts looked like high school essays beside a doctoral dissertation on steroids. We are thoroughly pleased and finally have peace of mind for ourselves and our son -- as well as for his sister who is the potential guardian.

Estate Planning & Trust Development

My wife and I decided to take a recommendation from an acquaintance and arranged a meeting with Mr. Johnson. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss our desire for an estate plan. Prior to our meeting Mr. Johnson's firm sent us a questionnaire that would help them understand our family, our l...ife situation, our financial situation and our desire for preserving and protecting our estate. When we met, Mr. Johnson and his associate reviewed our responses to the questionnaire, asked clarifying questions of their own, and explained how an estate plan would work for us. The meeting was very informative and provided us with an appreciation for the professional help we were seeking. My wife and I are happy to say that our Revocable Living Trust has been completed. It is very comprehensive. Working with Mr. Johnson was very easy. The two meetings we had with him were business-like, but relaxed. He answered all of our questions and explained each element of the trust document. I highly recommend Mr. Johnson's firm.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
