Posted by anonymous | July 21, 2014 | Estate Planning

Very highly recommended

John Kantke is kind, intelligent, thorough, ethical, and an excellent attorney. He worked with my husband and me while we dithered a bit over our estate planning. He was very patient, never got irritated with our changes of mind, and took pains to find just the right estate plan to meet all our spe...cific needs. His fees are very reasonable. His office is welcoming and easy to find and to park. I feel very happy that we will have John to help us with our estate planning needs going forward.

John Anthony Kantke's Lawyer Endorsements

Guardianship lawyer | Jul 14

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse John, in many ways. I first met John as a supervising lawyer while I was a law clerk for the Estate and Elder Law Services branch of the Volunteers of America (VOA). I've continued to stay in contact with John as I started my career in the estate planning and elder law space. John is a person that has unique talents. He is a conversationalist, always making you feel comfortable and educating you on the topic at hand. He is also incredibly caring, not only for his team/staff, but also his clients. John continues to make strides in the Guardianship/Conservatorship area, as he advocates for both the guardian/conservator/ward, but also for growth and change in the legal landscape for lesser restrictive and alternative means for persons involved in these legal proceedings. If you want someone who seeks to understand and is willing to help, he is your person - your 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.
