An Excellent Attorney

After the death of my husband, my financial advisor recommended Howard to me. We attended an introductory informational meeting together and decided he was very knowledgeable and I found him very congenial as well. He helped me get all my assets into a trust, made sure my daughter who is my Power of ...Attorney was thoroughly instructed about her responsibilities, and provides the opportunity for an annual review to make sure everything is in order. I would recommend him without reservation.

Trust, Wills and Ira Preservations

In 2005 Howard Lang and his legal team put together our trust and will. Everything was done thoroughly and very well organized. We continue to meet with him each year for updating any necessary changes in the laws or for ourselves. Also, he has wonderful seminars throughout the year for his clients a...nd has met with our children and us to explain important subjects. In 2012 we also added an IRA Preservation Trust. We couldn’t be more pleased and confident that our estate has been handled professionally and all is in order.

Estate Planning Advisor

Mr. Lang has consistently demonstrated his professional knowledge and experience over a relationship with us of 20 years. He is very well organized and thorough in all of his work with us. His office staff is well trained and efficient as well as being very client-friendly. Mr. Lang melds a strong... legal base with his sincere concern about how our estate planning affects the human aspects of our relationships with beneficiaries, executors, and those with power of attorney over specific parts of our plan. Over the years we have referred family and friends to his practice with, what they say, are excellent results. Mr. Lang has also represented us successfully in an outside estate settlement dispute. We now, and in the past, have always recommended Mr. Lang's practice.

Thanks for keeping my family together!

Howard's attention to the unique family circumstances has given me the peace of mind to know that my family will be in harmony after my passing. I know if changes in my circumstances or in the law occur, Howard will address my estate planning needs pro-actively through my membership in his Annual Ma...intenance Program.
