Understands families

The reason I called Bob Nennig for my estate planning is that Bob has done a lot of thinking about how people should prepare for the unthinkable. The unthinkable isn't just about specifying who gets my stuff after I die. It's about making sure the people who depend on me will be provided for. It's ab...out preparing the people I trust to make decisions for me if I can't make decisions for myself. It's about, putting in one place, all the information my family will need to tie up loose ends -- my usernames and passwords, my insurance policies, the key to my safety deposit box. It's about stating my desires for how I want to be memorialized at my funeral, how I want my body interred. Bob Nennig's work as an estate planning attorney is informed by his devotion to family. He is thorough and gentle in the difficult questions he poses. I can tell that he cares, not only about me, but also about my family. The advice he offers takes into consideration all of the generations affected by estate planning decisions. When the unthinkable or inevitable happens, the last thing I want to do to my loved ones is burden them with having to try to deal with putting my affairs in order on top of everything else. Bob knows that estate planning isn't for me, but for the people who come after. The package that he and I pulled together was thoughtful and complete and gave me a peace of mind that I would never have achieved with an online form or even with another attorney who isn't as family-centered as Bob Nennig is. He brings this perspective to every aspect of his practice. The unique pricing structure he has developed for his services reflects his understanding of the budget-planning needs of young families. It is evident that Bob wants to make estate planning accessible and affordable to families at every stage of their journey together, and not just the wealthy ones, either. I am a wedding officiant who counsels a dozen couples a year in preparation for married life. One of the things I tell them is that one of the greatest gifts you can give your spouse is an estate plan. Then I give them Bob Nennig's card.

"I have known Bob for many years and worked with him specifically on a matter where he represented a large consumer electronics company and handled all local counsel matters on behalf of the company. He was professional, conscience, and thorough on all matters and the client was extremely happy with his work. I have also referred colleagues to Bob when they are looking for an attorney to handle trusts, estates, or general practice matters in the state of Wisconsin. In all cases my colleagues have been grateful for the referral and happy with the work that Bob has done on their behalf. I will continue to refer work to Bob because he is a consummate professional and always focused on what is best for the client."

Estate planning lawyer | Oct 06

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"In addition to the technical and legal skills, there are two critical attributes to be a great estate planning attorney. These are the ability to listen, and compassion. It is easy to gather the basic facts, suggest a course of action, and then set out to explain why it is the best way to go. But this just gets a will, or perhaps a trust. What takes it to the highest level is being able to listen to the concerns of the person doing the planning. In most cases, they do not speak legal-ese. But they do speak from their heart. And it is what they say that permits the great Estate Planning attorney to go above and beyond a simple plan that puts a will or trust into place. And finally, there is compassion. This is the ability to empathize with the client and let them know you understand what they are going through. This is the ability to let them know that what they are experiencing is normal."
