David Crandall is an honest, caring trust attorney that exhibits high integrity. I’m grateful that he offered to review my proposed corporate bylaws and welcomed his recommendations in modifying them. I would recommend his services without reservation.

When I researched Mr. Crandall after posting on Avvo I thought to myself that maybe there is a lawyer that still operates as a lawyer should and ask all the right questions Trust is something that does not come easy from me but Trust is the foundation of every lawyer client relationship with out it y...

My husband and I consulted with David regarding Power of Attorney and Estate Planning. David was very helpful, gave us great advice, and genuinely cared about our situation. David was very professional and knowledgeable. We felt well informed after consulting with David.

Living in California meant that we needed a local attorney to deal with our estate issues in Kansas. We interviews several other attorneys and we were unimpressed with how long it took for them to respond. David turned out to be the correct choice. Tom

David Crandall handled several difficult and delicate items to finalize my wife's brother's estate in a very thorough and professional manner. He was also sensitive to our family in our time of sorrow and communicated often and responded quickly each time we had questions. It was very much a reli...
"I have had the pleasure of meeting David this past year as a fellow lawyer in the estate planning community. His combination of developing deep client relationships and being one of the brightest minds in our profession make him a highly recommended estate planning attorney."
"Having known David for many years now in the 'community' of the National Network of Estate Planning Attorneys, what impresses me most is his dedication to plans that work for his clients. That may seem quaint or obvious, but in the estate planning field, plans that work are the exception, not the rule. Many 'living trust attorneys' just sell form documents and move on, leaving clients with false security but real confusion about what they just did...and with a plan that will falter and fail. By pleasant contrast, David is exceptional! He is committed, and asks clients to be similarly committed, to thoroughly and thoughtfully develop a plan around their goals and objectives, and then to the necessary follow through and ongoing maintenance that it takes to make an estate plan fulfill all of its purposes. If you live within a few hours of Overland Park and are serious about leaving an orderly estate and a meaningful legacy, I heartily endorse David Crandall."
"I have known David since he joined the National Network of Estate Planning Attorneys. He is a warm, caring and compassionate person. He has a very sharp mind and the highest level of attention to detail combined with excellent estate planning skills. David is one of the few estate planning attorneys that offers his clients the ability to keep their estate planning documents current through the use of a formal maintenance program. He is an attorney I would place my trust in to assist me and my family with their estate planning needs."
"I have known David for many years as a staunch advocate for his clients with a level head for counselling. I was able to work with him when his client had a matter in Maryland. He was nothing short of professional and an excellent co-counsel."
"I have known David through the National Network of Estate Planning Attorneys. I have been consistently impressed with David's unique ability to find creative solutions to his clients estate planning and elder care needs. David is most committed to not settling for the "industry accepted solution" but rather looks for ways he can ensure his clients get the best of all planning strategies. He goes far beyond what his peers would do to ensure his clients receive the highest quality planning possible. He is warm, engaging, and a very caring person. Anyone considering David to assist them with their planning needs will not be disappointed. I endorse David wholeheartedly."
"I have gotten to know David over the past five years. I am truly impressed by the extent to which he combines a deep understanding of technical issues of estate planning and an equally deep commitment to achieving his clients' personal goals. He is extremely bright, articulate, a strong advocate, and a compassionate human being. I endorse him without qualification."
"I know David Crandall personally and professionally. He is an excellent attorney with high integrity. In fact, since I am not an elder law attorney, I entrusted some of my own relatives to David's care regarding their elder law concerns. They were very pleased with his advice and services. According, I recommend David Crandall without reservation."
"I serve with David on the Member Advisory Board of the National Network of Estate Planning Attorneys. David is a truly caring professional with excellent credentials. He works very hard to make sure that his clients receive the best planning solutions and that they remain current through his unique follow up approach. He is dedicated to excellence."
