Excellent Attorney - Estate planning, Will and Trust

Mr. Crane prepared my Will, Trust and Power of Attorney. He did an excellent job and answered my many questions along the way so that I could fully understand my documents and their contents. He is extremely trustworthy and a very special, understanding person and easy to talk to. He was very thri...fty with my money and very reasonable with his charges. I was very pleased with his work and plan to use him for all future work.

Estate Planning

We found Atty Crane in an online search and left a message. He was quick to respond and schedule an appointment with us. We explained our needs and he took the time to listen and review them with us thoroughly. Everything was completed in a timely manner and professionally.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
