Matthew made the entire estate planning process easy!

My husband and I have put off drafting our wills and researching estate planning for years. We assumed it would take a great deal of time to get started, and be very confusing. If we had only seen Matthew sooner - we would have realized it was anything but difficult. Matthew explained every step a...long the estate planning journey in easy-to-understand language which allowed my husband and I to make the best decisions for our family. And the entire process was quick! Matthew was always prompt with his replies and provided convenient scheduling options for us to sign our documents. Even coming to our home. Truly - it couldn't have been easier.

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!!

Matthew made it all so easy!

My husband and I knew we needed to get our wills and advanced directives written, but to say we dragged our feet is an understatement. We just thought it would be so painful. When I met Matthew, he went through how easy the process would be, so I quickly engaged his services. He came to our house, le...d us through the documents in lay terms, and answered all of our questions thoughtfully. He sent us the drafts via email within the week, incorporated our changes in even less time, and then came to our house with a notary to have everything signed. It being quick and painless was great, but even better was Matthew is just a really nice guy. I felt extremely comfortable working with him through some of the most important documents we'll ever write in our lives. I happily recommend him to anyone for estate planning services.
