Wentling Will and Trust

Working with Lauren Jackson on my estate planning was an exceptional experience from start to finish. She brings a rare combination of deep legal expertise, genuine compassion, and an ability to make complex topics feel completely manageable. From our first conversation, Lauren took the time to under...stand my goals, explain every option clearly, and guide me through decisions with patience and confidence. What impressed me most was her attention to detail and her commitment to making sure everything was tailored perfectly to my situation. She anticipated questions I didn’t even know to ask and helped me build a plan that gives me real peace of mind. Lauren’s professionalism is matched by her warmth—she makes you feel supported, heard, and truly cared for throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for a will and trust attorney who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in protecting your legacy, I can’t recommend Lauren Jackson highly enough. She made a complicated process feel easy, and I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance. Kim Wentling

A true professional

Lauren handled our real estate transaction when I bought my first house. She informed me through every step of the process and calmed me down when I was overwhelmed. I am thoroughly impressed with her knowledge of procedures as well as her ability to facilitate communication among many parties at onc...e in order to assure the smoothest outcome possible. I highly recommend her for your real estate and probate needs.

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.
