Will prep

Ron was very professional, yet personable, and explained all documents to my satisfaction. He also offered guidance as to alternate documents that could be used. I would recommend Ron to assist in your estate planning.

Todd A Crandall Last Will & Testament Nov 10, 2017

Ron provided me excellent guidance with updating my Last Will & Testament, Healthcare Directive, POA and Testamentary Trust. Appreciated Ron’s thorough explanation of these docs and the professionalism and knowledge he showed me during our visit to his office.

Easy to work with

After I contacted Ron to discuss estate planning, my mother hired Ron to draft a complete package of estate documents at a predetermined fee. Ron was easy to work with and the entire process of creating a will, healthcare directive, POA, and other estate documents went smoothly. He was able to answer... questions thoroughly and was accessible after our initial appointment if any concerns came up. He was also able to explain other estate related concerns such as planning for real estate deed conveyance and having account beneficiaries set up to avoid a more costly and time consuming probate process down the road. Documents were all created and/or filed in an accurate and timely fashion.

Professional Process

I was looking for an attorney who charged by the job, not the hour and Ron's reviews and experience were good. Ron responded to my online inquiry right away, he reviewed my situation and made recommendations that would best protect my assets from probate. He prepared all of the necessary docs and a...fter I carefully reviewed them, found only a few minor errors that were easily corrected. Overall Ron seems very knowledgeable with Estate Planning and is very professional and courteous. I would recommend Ron to others who have similar estate planning needs as myself, he did a great job.

Ron provides excellent services!!!

Ron was extremely helpful and great to work with!! I highly recommend his services!! He very patiently explained our options and was quite knowledgeable about all details related to estate planning. I live in CA so his work was for my mother but if I lived in Minnesota I would definitely use Ron for... my own estate planning needs. Plus, he's nice and down-to-earth, definitely a plus in an attorney!!

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.
