      I've worked with the Ron Morton team as both an executor of a will and to have wills drawn up for my wife and myself. I've found the team flawless and very professional, thorough and understanding. I felt very comfortable with their manner and confident in their expertise.

      My wife and I consulted with lawyer friends and they recommended Ron highly. After an initial session we knew why. Ron knows his field of Elder law and was able to communicate with us in a manner that made us feel confident in his recommendations and our decisions.

      My husband and I hired Mr. Morton to review and update wills and trusts and assist with estate planning. We were long overdue for this but he has made a daunting task doable. Mr. Morton listens to what we would like to do with our resources and then works to find a way to make that happen. He is extremely knowledgeable, creative and patient. His associate and staff are friendly and always courteous. Working with Mr. Morton and those in his office has been a pleasant experience all around.

      Several of our family members who had hired Morton law firm recommended them to write our will and trust. Excellent service. All bases were covered and we would highly recommend this law firm. The fact that they take care of 95% of all the paperwork was so stress free. We were so pleased with the thoroughness of the attorney, the competent and timely manner of their staff. We highly recommend their services.

      My husband died of cancer, but his death was unexpected. Mr. Morton was able to take my complicated financial situation, sort it out quickly, and created an estate plan which addressed my every concern. He was thoughtful, attentive, professional, and demonstrated a high level of knowledge and competence. In the midst of a difficult situation, he was a rock of wisdom, support, and good judgment.

      I first met Mr. Morton after the sudden and unexpected death of my father, when my mother sought his advice regarding her financial affairs. It was then that I realized he truly was concerned about providing the best possible advice to his clients. My mother was pleased with his advice and the legal work he did for her. Since then my husband and I have sought his counsel in estate planning for our affairs. We were satisfied with his recommendations and the resulting documents he created for us. I have also found the work of Mr. Morton's staff to be accurate and timely. Everyone was very helpful. As a result, I have recommended with hesitation Mr. Morton to several family and friends.

      Mr. Morton and his entire staff made us feel comfortable and at ease during every encounter. They were very professional, informative, and understanding while discussing options available in our estate planning. Now that we have completed all of the many aspects of this effort we feel that we have made the best, well-informed decisions and that their service was well worth their fee.
