Estate Planning 25%

Choosing to draft a will or trust is one of the most important and loving gifts that you give to those who are important to you. Every person who has attained age 18 needs to have a will, a durable power of attorney, a medical power of attorney, a health information release, a declaration of guardian, and a directive to physicians (aka living will). People often believe that “ESTATE PLANNING” is only for the wealthy. This could not be farther from the truth.

Highly Recommend Weisinger Law Firm

Mr. Weisinger put together a living trust for our family and came recommended to us through good friends. He was extremely knowledgable about estate planning and led us through the best options for our situation. You can tell he genuinely cares for his clients and providing them with the best produ...ct possible. He explained everything about our trust in a way we could understand and walked us through the steps we would have to take with our personal accounts, our home, investments etc. to make sure everything was included in the trust. He and his staff were always on-time, professional, and willing to thoroughly answer any of our questions. He not only provided a very nice binder with all of our estate documents; he also provided digital copies as well so we could easily provide copies to anyone we needed to. He always treated us with great kindness, integrity, and professionalism. We have recommended Mr. Weisinger to several family and friends, and will continue to do so!

  • 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.
