Great lawyer and a good friend

I had the pleasure of working with Matt when helping a friend navigate the loss of a partner. 2 years later, he was right there for me as I navigated a tough situation. He handled our needs within a couple of days. Could not ask for a better professional experience.

Estate planning and will with Asurest

We recently performed an Estates planning exercise with Matthew. We have been wanting to do this for a while but eventually found some time for this very important activity and upon searching the internet we found Matthew and Asurest. We are non citizens and one of the big worries in our mind at the ...time was who would care for our daughter if both was were to decease all of a sudden. We went through the session with Matthew and he helped us every step of the way and how to avoid lengthy probates and how our daughters care can immediately transfer to other living family members etc. We were pleased with the overall experience and getting this done gave us peace of mind. We will recommend Matthew and Asurest to anyone who is looking to do this

Extremely Helpful!!

Mr. Reinaker phone consulted with me regarding my mother's estate and the distribution of some personal property. He was extremely helpful in that I was able to come to a resolution to my issue quickly. Thanks again, Mr. Reinaker!

Estate Planning, Wills & living Will

I like a lot of people kept telling myself that I needed to have a will drawn up, that I would get to soon. I have three children and I knew that dying without a will in place would put my assets in probate with the State of Virginia. That would be a long exacerbating process for my children. So meet...ing Matthew Reinaker was a blessing. What a weight off my shoulders! Matt made the process of drafting a will almost effortless on my part. The cost was minimal and well worth it. Matthew was professional and delivered as promised. Thanks Matt!!
