Estate Planning

Jon Disrud drafted an Estate Plan, including a Revocable Living Trust, for my husband and I. He was a great comfort after my husband died.

Excellent attorney!!

Mr. Jon Disrud is very conscientious, courteous, and knowledgeable. Many attorney's take too long to return calls or communications. He took the time to meet with my husband and I multiple times, even on short notice. We had a case that crossed state lines and Mr. Disrud's expertise in the area was a... true blessing. He fought hard for our case and did everything he could. He genuinely cared about the outcome of our situation and it showed. We highly recommend Jon Disrud for any of your attorney needs and would use him again in a heartbeat. His assistant, Margaret, was also always very helpful and kind.

Do not recommend

Procrastinator should be the best word to describe this attorney. He never showed that he cared about my case. All he wanted was his retention fee. Will not recommend this lawyer for any family case.

This is simply not a true statement about Mr. Disrud. I have known Mr. Disrud for over 15 years and he is very well respected and fights extremely hard for his clients. I should know I have been on the other side of the case. I imagine this post is just another disgruntled person who wishes to bad mouth an attorney who has to deal with a bad fact case. Look in the mirror before you start bad mouthing a professional.

THANK YOU SOO MUCH

Run!!!! DO NOT WORK WITH THIS MAN OR HIS STAFF

I cannot put into words how bad of an experience I had with this attorney and his staff. Contacted him in August 2012 to get divorce started and child support..... in my temporary order he didnt get me child support he had my husband pay for daycare..... the issue with that is my ex husband took th...ings literal so took kids out of daycare had his mom watch the kids so he paid her nickles and she was constantly calling me to pick up the kids. Attorney Disrud did nothing..... So we went to court in November 2012 and judge signed off on divorce only thing needed was decree and child support..... He sent decree to my ex and my ex was constantly sending it back to him for errors, such as spelling of names, wording and typos.... (guess he was racking up time to contine to bill because I was constantly seeing bills in my mail from him for his time fixing his errors.) EVERY UPDATE WAS TOLD TO ME BY MY EX OR HIS LAWYER I WOULD HAVE TO CALL MR DISRUD AND ASK WHATS GOING ON!!!! I WAS NEVER CONTACTED BY THEM AND HE ONLY CALLED ME ONCE AFTER I THREATENED TO GET A NEW LAWYER. EVEN MY EX WOULD SAY I HAVE THE WORST LAWYER EVER AND MY EX WASNT AFRAID OF MY LAWYER SO HE DID WHAT HE WANTED. IN THE DECREE IT FINALLY STATED CHILD SUPPORT. MY EX WOULD SKIP PAYMENTS JUST BECAUSE HE KNEW IT WOULD TAKE MR DISRUD OR HIS STAFF MONTHS TO CONTACT HIM OR DO ANYTHING. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE DECREE WAS DRAWN UP IN NOVEMBER.... AFTER SENDING IT BACK NUMOROUS TIMES TO FIX ERRORS HE FINALLY TOOK IT TO COURT IN MARCH 2013 TO GET THE DECREE SIGNED... THATS 5 MONTHS... AND TODAY 7/16 IVE FINALLY GOT CHILD SUPPORT GARNISHED FROM HIS WAGES AND THAT I HAD TO DO MYSELF THAT SHOULD HAVE GONE INTO AFFECT OR PROCESSED IN NOVEMBER OR AT THE LATEST IN MARCH 2013 WHEN JUDGE SIGNED FINAL DECREE. I was desparate calling his office crying for help and nothing would get done. I had to put my kids in a real daycare which isnt cheap 1700 a month for 2 kids and I make 2500 a month but child support wasnt a priority to them or getting me help that I needed. Everyday I called and it was always ok we will and then we will call you back. Not only did i not get a call back I would wait 2 days and wouldnt hear from them then when I called it was the same thing "Mr Disrud will go to court and request it and then we will call you tomorrow." I cannot count how many times I heard that. Bottom line these people dont know how to genuinely care for there clients not do they even care enough to keep them informed and get them what they need. To this day I still haven't received my final Decree signed by the judge from them I continue to call and email them and they say ok we will look for it and call you once we found it. In the mean time my Ex husbands lawyer sent it to me and so did my ex. BAD BUSINESS!
