Estate planning, Living Trust

My wife and I had more than one meeting with Attorney Lewis. We talked about family and how important the unit is. Strong families build bonds of love and support. Through these bonds memories and traditions are made. Strong families of love are made with commitment, confidence, courage and faith in ...God. These qualities create a legacy which is important in estate planning.

Professional

Recently my husband and I worked with Matthew to develop a Trust for us. We were pleasantly pleased with his professionalism and knowledge and would highly recommend him to future clients.

Review of Attorney Matthew Lewis

I first consulted him to analyze my husband and mine present wills and powers of attorney. Because of the status, I hired him to update them to fulfill our present and future documents. I found him to be very professional and thorough. He was patient and answered all of my questions. I wish I ha...d consulted him sooner. Recently, he helped me research how to attach my husband to a Canadian Football League suit similar to the one that is being done for the NFL players who have received brain damage for playing

Highly recommend his legal counsel

Matt has assisted with two legal issues i was working through. He provided assistance as I was dealing with a landlord who was discriminating against me for having young children. In the past month Matt helped as we were trying to close on a home. The seller passed away near closing. Matt's knowl...edge of the estate process and probate was immensely helpful as we worked with realtor, the widow, courts, title and finance.
