Experienced, prudent and wise

Ken Siemens and all the employees of MTSE were extremely kind, compassionate, and professional for my personal injury case. They were not only concerned with my case but also were helpful when dealing with other aspects of my husband’s injuries. Anytime I had a question or concern, I received prompt..., thoughtful and sensible advice. Their actions demonstrated the care and concern they had for what was best for my family. I have all the confidence that Ken and MTSE has the experience, prudence, and wisdom to handle cases like mine.

Trusts and wills

Ken worked with my wife and me on a set of trusts and wills for us. The situation was complicated because of both my wife and I having been married before. Each of us had children and we wanted ensure our separate assets went to each of our children. This required three trusts and two wills. Ken ...was thorough and accurate in completing the trusts and wills. I have known Ken for several years and have consulted him in the past when my first wife had a terminal illness and I required advice on how to proceed. He was thoughtful and compassionate.

Ken Siemens has represented me both personally and professionally for many years. Ken really listens to his clients and represents them with the highest professionalism and integrity. He is good at taking complex issues, making them simple, and getting resolution on a timely basis. An added benefit t...o working with Ken is that his business advice is as good as his solid legal advice. I highly recommend Ken Siemens.

Business owner

Most recently, I have received professional service from Ken Siemens on 2 projects in the past 2 years. First was the merging of my business with another larger and similar-type of entity. His initial guidance and ongoing support proved to be of critical importance in getting the project success...fully completed. In addition his immediate response to me, whenever a communication to the other party needed to be made, or technical point discussed, my spouse, CPA and other family members found him to be an invaluable asset and a terrific relief to me, from both a business and personal standpoint. The second project, which included personal estate planning for my own family, he made several recommendations regarding updating several documents and caught some major critical points which had not been previously addressed. In addition, he helped lay out an asset flow chart and communication plan, regarding contacting my family members, which brought great relief to my spouse and I regarding simplifying the entire process and making it a lot more manageable.

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.
