Highly Recommend!

We have been extremely impressed by the professional, knowledgable, and very thorough estate planning process we just completed with Jeff Kabbe at Kabbe Law Group. Each member of the team was personal, kind, and went out of their way to answer any and all questions we had; especially in the area of... planning for a family member with special needs.

Estate & Retirement Planning

Jeff was referred to us by our financial advisor. We're extremely satisfied with the final product. Jeff's method of simplifying the process & his knowledge of estate planning eliminated any concerns we had.

Mr. Jeffery Kabbe

We consulted with Mr. Jeffery Kabbe concerning a Special Needs Trust we have for our daughter. The trust was started by another lawyer a few years ago. Mr. Kabbe provided us with excellent information about making the trust the beneficiary to our retirement accounts. He explained some financial thi...ngs we did not understand or realize. He assured us that the trust is a valid Special Needs Trust. His advice and input was more than we anticipated. We believe he went above and beyond our specific needs by recommending we consult with a lawyer familiar with Social Security to address those concerns.

Amazing attorney

Jeff has helped me with estate planning over the past year. He is not even close to your typical lawyer. He cares, listens, and is very personable. Although he has a very busy practice, he always makes himself available. He is very straightforward, honest, intelligent, ethical and professional. ...His office staff welcomes you warmly every time as if you are family. I consider both attorneys at Kabbe Law Group, Jeff and Natalia (his wife and founder of the law group) personal friends who really deserve their stellar reputation. I felt compelled to share my experience, because it is rare to find these combination of qualities in this profession.

One of best lawywers I have ever worked with

Jeff is very comprehensive in the estate planning process and takes the extra time to explain exactly in layman's terms how the clauses work etc. He suggested different ways to go about getting to our goal and took the time to discuss each one. In addition, he responds very quickly and immediately to... phone calls and emails, which I have found to not be true of other lawyers I have worked with in the past. I would recommend Jeff to anyone needing a top notch estate plan and wants to actually know how it works!
