John Louis Haslam

I was very fortunate to be introduced to John Haslam of Wilson Law group when I was decided to do my estate planning. He was highly recommended. Attorney Haslam met and spoke with me at length, for no charge, about my goals regarding my estate. It was a very good thing that I talked with him as es...tate law is complex and I might have made uninformed decisions that would have negatively impacted my assets if I had tried to do the planning myself. When I asked Attorney Haslam to assist me he set up several meetings and listened carefully to the specific plan I had in mind. He then prepared several trusts for me (revocable and irrevocable). These are very detailed and fully cover every aspect of my estate. They follow my wishes exactly. I was surprised at how complex the trusts are. Absolutely nothing was omitted. Attorney Haslam and his team helped me in transferring some of my assets into the trust. There were other steps I needed to take myself, such as opening a trust bank account. I was provided with a clear instruction letter on how to accomplish this, and a Certificate of Trust to present when needed. (My bank's legal review staff were impressed that the information I brought them was set up so clearly, in exactly the format they needed.) The trusts were given to me in a portfolio with sections clearly marked so I could easily locate information. I was told by Attorney Haslam he wants me to contact him if I have questions or am uncertain about how to proceed on anything rather than have me worry about what to do or take an action that is contrary to the trusts requirements. He does not bill for this. In addition to my trusts, the portfolio includes a number of other sections. One section is an emergency section for my trustees on the steps to take when I am no longer able to act on my own behalf. Instructions include encouragement to contact Attorney Haslam for any support they need. The portfolio I was given also provides sections for a pour-over will, healthcare power of attorney, a living will, memorial instructions, distribution of personal effects, and other information. This is so helpful to have. Attorney Haslam set me up with Legal Vault, which provides secure access to information in case there is a medical emergency. His law group also presents seminars which provide education for their clients and trustees. Overall, I am reassured that every aspect of planning my estate has been taken care of because of Attorney Haslam's expertise. I know I may sound like a paid advertisement for him. I'm not. The cost of setting up my estate trusts was not insignificant, but in the big picture, protecting everything I've worked all my life for was so important to me that it was well worth it!

Our family looked to John for information regarding our Father's Life Estate and the possible protection options for our personal family estate in the near future. John gave us much needed information and thoroughly explained our Father's situation and advised us as to what we should expect regar...ding his Life Estate in the future, as our Father's condition progresses and some of his finances become shifted to the State. For this we are eternally grateful as we are not well versed in the law. What impressed us the most is that John NEVER tried to sway our thinking or PUSH us to a decision that would truly have been more monetarily beneficial for himself. He provided us with the tools and the facts within those tools to give us every opportunity to make the best educated decision for our specific situation. John gave us information through meeting with him that was invaluable in our decision to set up our personal Trust with Wilson Law. He took the time to personally meet with all of our children and explain the difficult parts of our plan to our children. We try to tell as many people as we can about the education we have received through John and the financial and emotional security he and his Law Office has helped us achieve. People usually reply with a "That's Too Good To Be True" because Lawyers just want your money and they'll say anything to get it. DISPROVED! John truly educated us and our entire family as to what all of our options were, good and not so good. He listened. He educated. He guided. WE MADE OUR OWN DECISIONS. It is truly empowering when you keep reviewing everything you planned for your future and you still come up with the same decision after the fact. We could not and would not have done any of this on our own. We won't lie. We set up a trust and for our income base it seemed quite costly. Yet, John and his entire team worked very hard for us and are continuing to do so. It is peace of mind for us and our family. We have been treated with the utmost respect and dignity that you would expect from a High Class Law Firm...all while receiving the personal and intimate service of a small town law firm. At Wilson Law Group you're not just a case number, you're a part of what makes them who they are. A trusted and compassionate group of professionals that actually care about you and your concerns and are willing to help you navigate the unknown passages within the law. We will be forever grateful that we were referred to John Haslam. Despite what some people may think about the statement "Too Good To Be True", IN THIS CASE IT ISN'T! John Haslam is worth speaking with. You'll be surprised there are Lawyers out there that are truly working for you, not against you.

My husband and I choose Attorney John Haslam to do a trust for us. My husband was very leery to do one but after meeting with John the first time, he explained it in a very detailed but simple way for us to understand. We were then excited to move forward. We had no idea how important it was to have ...done and feel much relieved that we have everything in great order for us and for our family. It was a detailed process but John was extremely patient and helpful with all our questions and taught us a lot. He also made great suggestions for us when we were not sure about certain things. He is extremely knowledgeable in this area and we appreciated his sense of humor when working with such a serious subject. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. You will be glad you called him.
