Roger and Gwen Rich

We worked with Mike over a couple of years from 2021 to 2022 to set up trusts for both of our parents and ourselves, we were very impressed with how thorough he was, and how well he explain things. We are fully confident in the work that he has done and appreciate the fact that we were able to final...ly get this completed.

Great service

Michael Haslam helped us creat a family trust. We were grateful for the information and direction he gave us. It was especially beneficial to receive the check list form to ensure we contact each financial institution and move assets into the trust. The flow chart outline have been especially bene...ficial as a quick reference. We have been very happy with Michael’s service.

Terrific professional and personal support

Mike and his team were welcoming, patient and thorough in walking us through estate planning, trust setup and will preparation. They listened to our requests, built a detailed plan, and gave us a quality product and piece of mind with no delay. Strongly recommended!

Great Estate Planning Firm

We loved working with Mike at Voyant Legal. He helped us with our estate planning and did a great job. He and his staff were friendly and organized. They thought of questions that we hadn't thought of that helped us with the details of our estate. He helped us set up a trust to protect our assets and... knew what to put into it and what to leave out. At the end, we have a great organized physical binder along with a digital copy so we don't have to worry about our will or estate plan getting lost.

Trust

Michael was very easy to talk to and he would listen to our concerns. He was also very knowledgeable about all the trusts and helped us pick the best one for our family.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
