Peter Charles Clark

I am writing to give my highest recommendation and endorsement of Mr. Peter C. Clark, of Ferguson, Widmayer and Clark, PC of Ann Arbor, MI, an outstanding estate attorney. I am a long-term (over 40 years) faculty member from the University of Michigan. My husband and I recently began work on our wi...lls, powers of attorney for health care and on setting up a family trust. We received a very strong recommendation from trusted close friends and colleagues who referred us to Pete, who had been so helpful to them in the same process. What we have come to value most about Pete—besides his immense fund of common sense, his low-key expertise, user-friendliness, professionalism and thoughtful concern for his clients’ needs is his sense of humour—by which I really mean a sense of balance, his ability to help in a timely way—and, most of all, his deep integrity. Beyond the outstanding technical legal work from Pete and his team at FW&C, Pete puts a lot of expertise, thought and most importantly—heart- into what he does for clients. He has put a very personable human and humane face on a process that can be (in the wrong hands), intimidating and scary. In a relatively short time, Pete has made a positive difference for us, and has made our lives so much easier by alleviating many of our concerns over future (inevitable) issues, that we feel encouraged and a sense of calm for the first time in years. Both our family trust issues and health issues are complex and multifaceted. Pete is immensely capable as well as able to provide solutions and to explain these complex issues and reduce them to manageable and understandable plans of action. I am immensely grateful to my colleagues and friends for this referral. I come from a family of academic and government lawyers with a lot of expertise and enormous experience. Peter Clark is in every way comparable to my family members. He is first class and someone I trust and admire greatly.

Peter was professional, courteous, and patient. He took the time to explain everything in great detail and was thorough in his analysis. Peter's knowledge level was above and beyond my expectations and I truly appreciated his personal care. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking Estate Pl...anning.

Pete was extremely helpful in preparing all the paperwork we needed. We asked him to create a trust in the event that my husband and I died at the same time as we have an infant daughter. He guided us through the whole process, taking his time to ensure that we understood everything and were comforta...ble. I did not know much about trusts when we started, and Pete was excellent at presenting all the information clearly and providing examples for me. He asked us questions that I did not know to ask, or had not considered, to ensure that we had a thorough document that would cover many contingencies. Pete was very professional, friendly, and sensitive to our needs. We greatly appreciated his help and will definitely work with him again. We would recommend him to anyone who would like to plan for the future.

We were referred to Pete, by our financial advisor and couldn't be happier! We hired him for our estate planning, which included establishing a trust, powers of attorney & living will. His sense of urgency and professionalism was outstanding. He was also down-to-earth, making it very easy to relate w...ith him. He has an instinctual desire to fully understand the questions we ask and is detailed in answering, in ways that we understood. He appreciated my attention to details and there was never a question that he was working in our best interest. If I wasn't 100% confident with a decision, he was excellent at talking through various scenarios and making recommendations, based on criteria I had expressed. When I knew exactly what I wanted, he took the time to also understand every detail. He has gone above and beyond in his accessibility, attention to details, answering our questions & advocating for my husband and I. We've also hired him to review real estate documentation for the purpose of purchasing a home, which further increased my confidence in his professionalism & representation.
