Highly recommended.

Mr. Mangan and his team were very courteous and professional. They expedited things to the best of their ability and kept me informed every step of the way. This was very important to me as an out of state client.

We strive to accomplish our goal by providing estate planning and administration services for clients. We focus primarily on wills, trusts, asset protection, guardianship, and probate administration.
Our clients are special to us – much more than just a name in a file folder. We build relationships with our clients that last far beyond their initial engagement with our firm. We take a sincere interest in each client, in their family, and in their future. We look out for our clients’ interests and take proactive action in order to ensure that their affairs are in order.

John Mangan created a Trust for me that was very comprehensive and effective. He explained the Trust to us in detail that was very clear and understandable. Subsequently,I have called him with questions and he responded promptly with accurate legal advice. I am very satisfied with his services and would highly recommend him.

The Complicated Made Understandable
I recently retained this attorney to prepare estate planning documents. Of course, the issues to be dealt with in a living will, a trust, powers of attorney, health care surrogates, guardians of person and property for a minor, etc. are numerous and complicated. Mr. Mangan walked me through all the necessary decisions prior to drafting any documents. Once the documents were drafted, he again sat with me and reviewed each document, verified that the decisions and elections made were what I wanted, and again explained things which confused me. The process of preparing one's own will and anticipating the eventuality of one's own death, especially when it involves planning for a minor child, is one which is easy to avoid (as I did for 13 years since my son's birth). However, I now feel much more comfortable than my son and others will be taken care of as I intend because of the time Mr. Mangan and his staff spent with me, and the detailed efforts to explain the important issues involved to me.

Will/trust
I requested assistance from John in creating a will/trust for my children. I had no idea how complex this was and that I would not have been able to do a thorough enough job had I done it myself. I provided some information to John and he took care of everything, at a very reasonable cost. He was very prompt, courteous and complete with his work. The result was a professional presentation of my will/trust that I can feel comfortable was done correctly. In addition, I now have a working relationship with John who I am confident I can turn to when I need assistance.

I have used John on two matters to date. I hired John to do my gun trust and then had him do my will. On both occasions I was given very professional information and follow up was excellent. John also provided professional personalized binders for both my trust and my will. I would highly recommend John as he was a pleasure to work with him.

John Mangan Jr. Hired for probate process
My Father passed away unexpectedly and I soon realized I would need to hire an attorney to handle the estate. I was grieving the loss of my Dad and under a lot of stress. I spoke with a few attorneys and was left feeling even more confused and frustrated with the probate process. I needed an attorney I could trust and count on. A family friend recommended I speak with attorney John Mangan Jr. I am so glad I did! I met with him once and immediately decided to hire him. Mr. Mangan made me feel comfortable and at ease. He throughly explained the probate process and answered any and all questions I had. I truly believe I could not have gone through this process without the knowledge, expertise and professionalism of Mr. Mangan. Everything was handled in a timely manner and he paid immaculate attention to every detail. I felt he had my best interest at heart and he was readily available to address any of my concerns. I would highly recommend John Mangan Jr for anyone in need of consultation and similar services.

Gun Trusts
As a gun enthusiast and very small collector I had recently become aware of Gun Trusts and the legal, financial and asset protection that they can provide to my family and myself. I did some reading around the subject regarding the content, scope and cost of having a Gun Trust prepared. After a couple of referrals to other attorneys that did not work out, the last attorney, who did not prepare Gun Trusts referred me to John Mangan, Jr.
I made an appointment to meet with John to find out more about Gun Trusts and if I truly needed one. I had many questions. I was interested in operating within the law with gun ownership and use, particularly with National Firearms Act (NFA) items, possession and use of NFA items by a family or friend and transfer of ownership through the generations to family members. John listened intently to my questions and wishes then explained it all to me with detailed crystal clarity. I was confident that my attorney, John Mangan, Jr., had the specific set of skills to prepare a tailor made Gun Trust to meet my needs. It was not going to be the cheapest Gun Trust that was available to me, but I knew the content would be what I was looking for and that it would be prepared by an attorney who had the special interest and knowledge in this area of law.
If you think you need a Gun Trust there are two basic questions that you need to ask yourself. What do you want in YOUR Gun Trust and who do you want to prepare it? I have no reservations in recommending John Mangan, Jr., Esq. to you. Thank you John.

I used John for estate planning and found him to be not only very knowledgeable, but readily available for questions that I had. Additionally he pointed me in the right direction for other legal needs. I was impressed with his knowledge of insurance planning, as well. He did a trust for me and my husband an I would call on him again for changes or future needs.

We were lucky enough to find John Mangan at a gun show we had all attended. After researching his credentials, we scheduled a consult. We are in our 60's & wanted to update our wills, inquire about trusts, health surrogate designation & end of life directives to leave little worry to our heirs. John helped us to understand it all, & make informed decisions. We definitely recommend him for his legal expertise & compassion in dealing with these life issues. Penny & Mccolloch

John did a great job for me in a reasonable timeframe and at an affordable price. I particularly liked his menu pricing various projects rather than billing hourly for everything. It allowed me to manage my budget well from start to finish.

I met John at a local chamber of commerce meeting and I knew right away that he was the person to help my family and I get our family affairs & estate planning in order. We had not done so previously and I felt it was on the top of my to do list. His professionalism, expertise and personal comfort that he gave me was immeasurable, especially because during the time of getting everything in order, we experienced a tragic death in the family. He was immediately available to help us work through this difficult and unexpected time in our lives. I can tell you first hand that if you haven't done your estate planning yet or haven't updated it in awhile, you must do so without hesitation. I highly recommend John to be that person for you!
