Outstanding experience!

I had a outstanding experience working with John. He was responsive, returned calls promptly, kept his word in regards to the time frames he said he would have my papers completed, was affordable and very knowledgeable. He took the time to answer the questions I had - which were many, he dispelled so...me myths I had been told and took the time to explain what I needed to know. He made me feel very comfortable through the entire process. I would recommend John to anyone considering setting up an NFA trust! 5 stars +++

NFA Trust

Sent him an email regarding information about setting up a NFA Trust and received a phone call about an hour later. Very knowledgeable and very easy to talk too. He had everything done and set up in less than 24 hours. I recommended him to several friends and one sent an email little after 9 pm one n...ight and received a phone call in a matter of minutes.

Great service! Very fast and easy!

This was a very fast and painless process. He answered all questions and continues to answer my questions long after the trust has been completed. I was shocked to see him rely to an email on Saturday and have the trust completed by Sunday evening. It does not get any easier then this. He came hi...ghly recommended by several lawyer friends who even use him in my area. I feel very confident that my trust was done correctly and will withstand any review. The price was a lot lower then I expected for the great quality of service I received.

Excellent customer service

I had the opportunity to use John's legal services to prepare trust documents for my family. I made an initial inquiry of 12/30/14 and after an initial phone consultation he responded with all of the necessary paperwork within 24 hours. Although his paperwork was very thorough, I had a couple of mi...nor questions. I sent him an e-mail on 1/1/15 and rather than respond via e-mail he was kind enough to call me the morning of 1/2/15. My questions were quickly resolved and I went to have his package notarized that afternoon. When filing an online application that afternoon (1/2/15), I found that I had questions about navigating the web-site. I called John at around 6:00pm on a Friday evening. He had returned my call within 15-20 minutes and we quickly resolved the issues I was having. My business life leads me to deal with many legal issues and various attorneys. I can assure you that John provides the best combination of legal knowledge, value for your money, and excellent customer service. I would not hesitate to recommend him and can assure you that your experience will be pleasurable.

NFA Trust

John was very helpful with setting up my NFA Trust. He was knowledgeable about the subject and very prompt with the turn around. I would recommend his services to anyone looking to set up a Trust.
