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.

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.
