Review Brent Kellenberger

Estate Planning

Posted by GraceFri Oct 18 2019

Brent prepared a trust fund for me. Explained the pros and cons to a trust over a will and let me make the decision, and exlained in as simple terms as possible. Very understanding it is not a fun thing to take care.

Creation of Trust

Posted by JustinTue Aug 13 2019

Brent was a pleasure to work with. He did a great job explaining the different options and helping us to work towards those that really applied to our situation. He also did a great job setting us up to follow the steps that we needed to take care of to fund trust etc. Feel really good that once we finish a few steps that we owe we will have a solid plan in place in case anything happens. There is a lot of peace in that, thank you Brent!

I endorse this lawyer. Brent is very diligent. He leaves no stone unturned. He is a great advocate for his clients. He really cares what happens with his clients. He is not afraid to go to battle to protect his clients and their families.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I met Brent over a year ago and have come to respect his sincere concern and high degree of care for his clients, his integrity, and his skill and dedication to elder law. I highly recommend his services and feel secure in knowing that any clients I refer to him will be well served.

Kyle Krull, Estate planning Attorney on Feb 28, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

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.
