Excellent Experience

Attorney Helm worked with us to develop our estate plan. We had a prior trust but relocated to Wisconsin and needed to make several changes, so we hired him to assist us. He completed the estate plan with our trust and living will sooner than we anticipated. He and his staff were very helpful and K...nowledgeable. His assistant answered all of our questions promptly. I would recommend him to others for estate planning.

Living Trust made easy

Based on personal recommendations and general reputation, we hired Mr. Helm to help us complete estate planning documents including a revocable living trust. Prior experience as a trustee/estate executor made us realize how valuable a living trust can be for anyone who handles your final affairs. Avo...ids all that property going through probate, making assets immediately available for distribution. Joe also made an excellent suggestion about acquiring life insurance to reimburse the estate for any long term care bills paid out of the estate. We will pursue that idea. Mr. Helm is very knowledgeable, and keeps on top of current estate planning practice. Two visits, for the interview and final signing was all that was required, with a bit of interim homework. Could not have been easier. Final work product was exceptional, with a comprehensive binder and further instructions for your trustee/executor. We had the benefit of Hyatt Legal Service employee benefit, which covered almost the entire expense, but any money spent is well worth this peace of mind planning.

Highly Recommend Mr. Helm

We had Mr. Helm work on a will & trust for us. He and his staff were very easy to work with, explained any questions we had and made the process very easy. Thanks.

Joe did our family's estate plan--thank you!

I hired Attorney Joe Helm to do our family's estate plan. He and his staff were wonderful and easy to work with. He asked all the right questions and got right to the heart of what we needed for our future protection. His pricing was fair--and very competitive. I am also a lawyer and have some ...knowledge on the "inner workings" of law firms. I chose Joe among the hundreds of other options because he is trustworthy and has a great reputation among other lawyers who know when good when they see it. And, in our community, Joe is very involved and really cares about families and our city. He gives tirelessly to others. I would recommend Joe to everyone I know without reservation.

Quick and Efficient

Mr Helm was a pleasure to work with regarding our trust/estate planning. My husband and I are both very busy people, so we greatly appreciated how quickly meetings were conducted and efficiently documents were drafted. Mr. Helm did a great job at explaining all details of our planning in a manner t...hat was easily understood. I now have confidence and feel comfortable knowing that our estate plans will be carried out without hassle or confusion for our family. The process couldn't have been any easier.
