This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

The worse attorney in this area

Worse experience I have ever had. I do not recommend or trust him. He charged me $1,500 for a simple will and when I asked him to modify a simple change he asked me for anther $1,400 or he will drop me as a client. And he did.

Especially as this is the first negative review we have received in my 45 years of practice, I am taking the time to set the record straight. First, our fee to prepare wills with trust provisions for you and your husband 4 years ago was not $1500. It was $1,000---with no added charges for revising them 3 times because you relocated to 2 other states during the process without prior notification to us. I was not able to quote a fee to redo the wills 4 years later because you refused to explain what changes you wished to make. Because you refused to provide the needed information, I told you I could not and will not continue to be your lawyer. I urge anyone reading your 1-star review to also refer to the near unanimous 5-star reviews to put this one into perspective.

Estate Planning

Mr Gubbels prepared a will for myself and my wife. We were very happy with the service which Mr Gubbels provided for us. His fees were very reasonable and he was always available to answer any of our questions. He is very personable and easy to work with. I would highly recommend Mr Gubbels.

Darrell Gubbels when you want knowledgeable, honest representation

I have used Attorney Gubbels legal services several times over a period of years. First off, he is a good listener. He is not impetuous. I have used him in cases involving different aspects of the Law. He has always been prompt and thorough in actions taken or recommended. I am always confident he... has my best interests at heart, and not his wallet.

Professional, responsive, integrity

Mr. Gubbels has represented me for personal and business related issues. He is always well informed on the issue, responsive, trustworthy and efficient. He has always given me sound advice and been a strong advocate when needed. I would highly recommend Mr. Gubbels.
