Excellent Attorney for retirement planning

Ken spent several sessions with my wife and me, explaining options for will and probate related issues. He is very intelligent, articulate, and patient -- and enjoyed answering all our questions (some more that once!). I think he is an honest, dedicated attorney who deftly helped us develop and im...plement a plan that will meet our needs.
