Alan Hougum review

Alan is a professional person. He was great at handling our estate planning. He is good at explaining everything every step of the way. He is always just a phone call away to answer any and all questions or concerns a person may have. He also has a great staff that is always ready to help.

Hard-working and Thorough

Alan specializes in estate and elder law, and he's committed to creating trusts with provisions that reflect what his clients want and need, while making sure that the trust does its job in protecting client assets within the law. His follow through is excellent in getting those assets titled correct...ly. He went the extra mile by directly talking to an annuity company so that the annuity was protected inside the trust. He also considered our trust provision requests carefully and did research and made suggestions for getting what we wanted how we wanted it with additional features we hadn't originally considered. Thanks, Alan, for all you've done and continue to do!

Allan, did an excellent job setting up my estate plan! He knew exactly what would be beneficial to me and all of the steps necessary to have the correct legal documents! He is courteous and personable and always answered all of my questions thoroughly! I was never rushed in my time with him.... Not being familiar with the law, he made it more user friendly and understandable. His staff is also very helpful and courteous! I've appreciated their help as well. It is an excellent law firm and I am thankful to be a client! Thanks to Allan and his staff for everything!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
