Excellent CPE Instructor

Chuck was able to give an excellent presentation on Estate Planning for my CPE course. He is able to explain the complex process clearly so others can learn.

Estate planning webinar

Just finished listening to a great and engaging webinar today by Chuck. Very informative and provided great insight into estate planning and all that entails.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Trust and Estate Planning

We went to a presentation that Chuck did and decided to have him review what we thought were trusts we had done in 2006. Turned out they were wills, not trusts. Chuck did an excellent job of explaining things in layman's terms. In addition, he did a thorough job of going through everything and pro...vided us with detailed instructions about how to get our assets set up so our kids won't have the hassles of probate court. Everything is organized and spelled out for them. We even got to leave them a DVD! Chuck is excellent; we whole-heartedly recommend him!

Family Trust

Mr. Roulet drew up our Family Trust along with our will, health care directive, and durable power of attorney. He is very professional and knowledgeable in this field. He was easy to work with and answered all of our questions. We felt very comfortable in working with him. We did refer a family m...ember to him and he drew up their family trust also. If any of our friends or other family members ever need an attorney in this field, I would refer them to Mr. Roulet also.

Chuck is the only estate planning lawyer you will ever need to talk to

We feel very lucky that we were introduced to Chuck. He is incredibly knowledgable and really listened to what our concers and priorities were. We now feel so much better knowing our estate plan is in place and our child will be well taken care of if something happens. As a father, Chuck really un...derstands what is needed and important to plan for. He never talked over our heads, and he didn't push us into anything. Everything was our choice. He explained everything so we could understand what he was talking about and encouraged us to ask questions.

  • 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.
