The Perfect Lawyer

Our previous will was over twenty years old and totally inappropriate for today's circumstances. Jeff provided excellent, friendly guidance and information when developing our new will and associated paperwork. There were significantly more documents required by Colorado law than we were previously a...ware. Jeff has an excellent way of explaining requirements and solutions. In addition to asset planning, he provided superb discussions for our living wills and end-of-life decisions. Everything was delivered on time with no hidden fees. The paperwork was extensive but required zero corrections due to miscommunication. Jeff's fees were very reasonable and my wife and I were extremely satisfied with the result.

Jeff Althaus review

Jeff's services & support are tremendous! He helped guide me through the most extremely difficult time in my life. Jeff handled my complex probate & estate matters like a true professional. When he realized there was also a minor involved, he quickly advised & helped me obtain legal guardianship & co...nservatorship of my step-daughter. My case is finally resolved, but I definitely could not have gotten though this whole process without his help. Thank you Jeff!

Estate Planning Review

We were referred to Jeff's law firm and were so happy with his services. We were looking to update our estate planning/trust information. Jeff was very helpful, gave us great advice on how they should be set up, and also our medical information forms so that our last wishes were to be handled accor...ding to our requests. He took time to go over any questions we had and answered every one. I would definitely recommend Jeff's firm to anyone looking to get their wills/trusts/ medical forms in order. It's never to early to think about this, and you never really know when you'll need this information. Everything is spelled out in the paperwork that we had filed with Jeff. Jeff had us fill our forms with every question you would be asking about after someone is gone. We left his office knowing that now our family won't be saddled with any questions or decisions to make on their own. Thank you, Jeff, for taking the time to get this accomplished. We would certainly recommend Jeff's law firm to anyone needing a great estate planning lawyer!

After my first consultation with Jeffrey, I knew right away that I wanted him to be the one to draft my will. Jeffrey was an easy man to talk to. He explained things in a way that a "dummy" like me could understand. I hired Jeffrey to craft my will. He did an outstanding job. I am very pleased w...ith the final product. What impressed me at the final meeting was he had my Personal Representatives attend this meeting so he could explain the will and their responsibilities. My PR's were truly impressed with Jeffrey because he talked with them at their level. I will recommend Jeffrey to anyone I know that is looking for someone to draft their will/trust.

Prompt and professional

Jeff was a man who stuck by what he said. He was there for me when I thought I had nobody. This man took my issue into his own hands and turned it into something I could live with. His kindness and true compassion is why I can say this is not only a great lawyer but a true friend. I truly don't know... a better person to work with. His compassion for me is something I will always remember. I would highly recommend my friend Jeff to handle anything legally for me. Thank you sir for your true understanding in my case.
