Philip John Ruce

Philip was a pleasure to work with in the creation of my estate plan. He promptly returned my original call and patiently explained his process. He was even forthcoming about his fees on that original call. I thought his approach was professional and energetic and that he would be a good match fo...r me. I was looking for someone who could explain the basics to me but ultimately know what was best for me. I wanted someone who could manage the legalese and get from me the personalization of how I wanted my estate handled. He did exactly that - was very responsive, professional and made the whole process efficient. Throughout our engagement he confirmed he was grateful to be working with me and provided the encouragement that confirmed I was heading the right direction with establishing an estate plan before I had health problems. I recommend working with Philip and have already recommended him to my friends and family.

We were taking a special vacation and realized that our estate documents were out of date. We were referred to Philip. He worked us into his schedule, drafted all new documents for our estate, AND, reworked his timeframe to have them all complete by the time we left. All of this was done while payi...ng close attention to our needs, answering all of our questions and never making us feel like there was a rush or we were asking too many questions. His pricing is clear and straightforward. This meant we knew what things would cost going in. We feel like we received an excellent value for the quality of work delivered.

Phil was consulted to provide is with a trust agreement, healthcare directives, and our wills. We were leaving the country in about 4 Weeks, and wanted to have this "off our plate" Phil not only completed the process in a timely manner, but did so with professionalism, answered all questions and co...ncerns and made several positive suggestions to protect our family. He was helpful and friendly, and and a relaxed environment, completing this task in a low stress environment
