Not just a lawyer but mediator through a tough time.

Excellent working with elderly and communicates with them on their level. Directs clients without being harsh or condescending. He helped our family determine the clients level of competency and guide her and us through the legalities of estate plans.

Estate Planning

Jon Von Achen helped us with all our estate planning. We almost used one of those do-it-yourself sites and I'm so glad we didn't. Jon's breadth of knowledge enabled him to answer our big and small questions. He was also able to ask us questions that helped him do his job better and you just can't hav...e that kind of experience online. Planning your estate is not a matter anyone goes into lightly, but with Jon's expertise, my husband and I walked away confident that everything was taken care of in a professional and thorough manner ensuring our family wouldn't run into any unforeseen problems should something happen to us.

Won my confidence and translated difficult estate issues effectively

We needed an attorney experienced with estate, inheritance and civil matters; but at more budget-sensitive rates than encountered in the past. Jon prepared us for what we would encounter, stayed on top of the processes and timelines and everything worked out as predicted. I never felt unprepared or... surprised by any actions. I now use Jon for other matters and recommend him highly.
