Brent is Excellent!

Brent has attention to detail and listens carefully which I appreciate. He has been working on trust documents for me and has been very thorough. I would highly recommend Brent!

Retiree in need of new documents

Brent reviewed our current documents and our desired estate plan. He advised on what needed updating and thought through the details of how best to accomplish our plan. Everything was done efficiently, thoroughly, accurately, and timely. We and our adult children assisting are 100% satisfied with hi...s knowledge, concern, and skill.

Hospital School Teacher

My husband and I were lucky enough to begin working with Brent in 2016 to untangle the complicated affairs of my elderly parents and apply for a VA pension. Not only did his legal knowledge and skills far exceed our expectations but he also became our most trusted advisor and friend. We then hire...d him for estate planning including establishing a trust. He was so thorough that even the bank was impressed! I have worked with many professionals through the years. Brent Kellenberger is the gold standard, the best of the best. His compassion towards those most vulnerable; his willingness to guide others with integrity; his patience and kindness during his clients' most difficult life situations -- these are only a few examples of his rare true servant leadership. Thank you, Brent, for setting the example for all of us.

Trust

Brent listened to my stated objections, knowledgeable about meeting my needs, and patiently answered my questions. He also was very willing to work around my available time.

Posted by Glenn & Christine | July 28, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Power Of Attorney

Brent is quite knowledgeable.

Brent was recommended to us for writing our Power of Attorney/Medical Power of Attorney/End of Life care. He is very friendly and easy to speak to. He understood our details nd created the documents we requested. We would consider him a very capable and reasonable choice for those needing a lawyer.

"I have known Brent Kellenberger since he was admitted to practice law in 2005. I regularly refer clients (and prospective clients referred to me) to him for elder law assistance. Brent has years of hands-on experience working with the elderly in a wide variety of settings. This is of great comfort to family members who find themselves in the role of caregiver, especially in crisis situations. I recommend Brent, without hesitation, to anyone seeking an excellent practitioner who provides legal services with a warm and caring personal touch."

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.
