We now have a plan

I've already recommended Matt to a co-worker. We were very pleased with the guidance we received in establishing our end of life plan. Matt was patient and answered our endless questions. Very professional.

Professional, thorough and courteous

It was wonderful to have Matt’s expertise when trying to do estate planning. It seemed like such an overwhelming process but Matt made it easy. He knows just what to ask and what to do. He’s patient, answering some of my questions multiple times because it was all new to me, yet he’s always courteous... and was available for more questions any time I reached out to him. He also assured me, he will be there if something happens to walk me through it. I highly recommend Matt to anyone to make a difficult task easier!

Definitely Recommend!!

We were dragging our feet on doing our estate planning. We finally pulled the trigger and it was much easier and less stressful than we expected. Matt was super easy to work with! In fact, we did everything by phone which was great because we are an hour away from his office and we didn't have to wor...ry about any of the COVID-19 that is going on right now. He gave us information about a Transfer on Death Deed which we had never heard of. We decided to do the Deed to make things a little easier for our children. He answered all of our questions and even removed some standard wording we were uncomfortable with in one of our documents. We were also pleasantly surprised the cost was VERY reasonable! He did a great job and we would highly recommend him!!

Great attorney!

Matthew helped me with an estate. He goes above & beyond for his clients! He was extremely nice and helpful! I highly recommend him.

Absolutely recommend!

I recently had my first baby and when I started reading that I needed a will my first instinct was to panic. Matt was able to work with my husband and me to create a will and plan for my family that allows us to feel secure and protected. I learned so much through working with Matt at Asurest. I did ...not initially understand how important it was to plan and prepare for the future, especially after starting our family, and Matt was able to educate us during each step of the journey. Matt was patient through my long decision making and even tears and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the knowledge, service, care and professionalism Matt showed to our family through this essential task of protecting my family.
