    Creating a trust is an essential tool for most people. You can take advantage of estate planning laws to reduce your estate tax, plan for special distributions of your estate after your death, and prevent creditors from reaching money allocated for your beneficiaries, among other things.

    I help people in negotiating with the IRS and possibly reduce their penalties, interest, and sometimes principal of the debt.

Bankruptcy Lawyer
Mr Van Es was recommended to us by a family member. He has handled our case with the upmost professionalism. He is very thorough and professional while at the same time being personable and friendly. I would recommend him to anyone that ask if I know a good lawyer.

Mr. Van Es did a very through job with my legal case. He was professional at every step. Stayed in touch and I never felt like I was (hung out to dry). I would recommend Todd to my closest friends and family*****

Great Bankruptcy Attorney!
I was very pleased with the service received from Van Es Law Firm during my bankruptcy case. I was able to pay 1/2 down and another 1/2 at a later date which helped me out tremendously financially; also received a reasonable rate compared to other lawyers. With Todd's help in taking on my bankruptcy case, I am beginning to recover not only financially but my credit score is increasing just like he told me it would!

Very knowledgeable attorney
Todd handled a very complicated bankruptcy case for us. Although it had a lot of unforeseen problems throughout, they were dealt with efficiently. We were always able to reach him by phone or email and he always returned our calls within a reasonable amount of time. I would recommend him to handle bankruptcies or financial matters.

Very Poor Customer Service But Knowledgeable
Based on my experience of having been stood up for a scheduled appointment, learned of papers that were filed late, and been ignored despite multiple phone calls and emails that I made, my opinion is that this attorney seems to know how to help a client but all too often chooses not to. My case was not important enough. I will not use his services again.

Not recommended
Things seemed to be mostly ok with my case before I went to court, other than mild reluctance to answer the phone promptly. He stopped answering my calls, emails, and texts a few weeks before my case was discharged. After my case was closed, I learned that he never filed a mortgage reaffirmation as I had requested. Now, nearly a year later, and thanks to some extra money from government stimulus checks, I finally had the money to reopen my case. I learned through my mortgage company that Mr. Van Es is no longer practicing. It was completely unprofessional of him to cut me off without explanation. He added a lot of unnecessary time, money, and stress to an already difficult time in my life.

Discredit to the profession
No communication after month 1. Decided to not make ammendments to our petition after having 5 weeks to do it in. Showed up to court after canceling once, and continuing another time with nothing. Horrible lawyer. Dishonest, unprofessional, seek a lawyer elsewhere. Ultimately we terminated him before our case was finished

Avoid like the plague
My wife and her sister hired Todd Vanes aka " Todd Van Es" to see to my mother-in-laws estate. He told us it was a routine thing pretty standard. Quoted a flat rate said he'd get started right away. We paid a downpayment. Three weeks later after ignoring some communications he did what he said would be done at the end of the first week. Then he was paid the entire amount he quoted for the case. Later he talked like he was going to charge more money. He was inactive a lot. Blamed others for his short comings. Made us miss a closing date. Just one big headache after another. In the end they hired another attorney. Don't know if they will get any of their money back. Please if you need a lawyer get one that at least has an office. If they are like Todd you'll need a place to pin him down.
