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 finally 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 beneficial 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.

Voyant Legal was great
Mike and his team was very helpful in the whole process of helping us prepare and plan for the necessary steps as my mother is dealing with Alzheimer's and dementia. Mike was more than helpful in setting up Trusts and plans to help protect our family and my fathers assets. The team was very good at keeping us on tract and making sure we had everything outlined that we need to complete or get to them. I wish we would have started this process months earlier. My mother went downhill fast and we were close on getting certain forms signed but Mike and his team was awesome in helping and making sure everything was done correctly. Would highly recommend Mike and his team to anyone needing Elder Law situations.

Extremely Helpful
Mike was referred to us by a friend and we had been searching for a good estate attorney for a long time. Mike and his team were extremely helpful and had answers to all our questions, were quick to set appointments, follow up, and get our estate in order. Really appreciated all they did (and will do) for us.

Michael is awesome! He handled my parents' estate matters and, when it came time to do my own, their was no other choice but Michael. He consulted with me and then took care of all my legal needs. Very professional, everything in writing in a nice binder. I feel very confident in referring him to friends. The biggest thing for me is my peace of mind knowing that everything is in now in order.

One of the top 5 things you need to do to show your love for your family!
I have worked in the insurance industry for more than a decade and have spent many years helping people get their financial lives in order. In my opinion, Every person needs high liability auto and home coverage, a life insurance policy, emergency savings, a will and a trust! I have found that most people do not even want to think about the “what if’s” of life. But, based on my personal experiences, education, communication, and preparation are some of the greatest gifts we can give our loved ones! The loss or illness of those who are so important to us can devastate us emotionally and financially. It doesn’t have to be that way! Mike and his team reviewed our prior trust, updated it and helped us get other important documents in place. There is peace of mind knowing that when life happens, we have our legacy protected for our family.

Mike Haslam is a top notch estate planning attorney
I first started with Mike a couple years ago setting up my estate plan. He was very helpful explaining what we needed and getting it in place. I really appreciate the planned reviews of our needs every three years. But, it didn't end there. He and his partner setup a virtual "Nearing Retirement" seminar that was extremely helpful in bringing up things to consider when nearing retirement and where you can go for help. Many of these were issues I had not thought about before and has helped me personally in being better prepared for my retirement. Last year my dad passed away, he helped me and my mom bring her estate plan up to date. He was quick to point out government benefits that she was entitled to that we were not aware of. He is currently helping us navigate the difficult world of government forms and paper work to receive her benefits. In my opinion Mike has gone way above and beyond in meeting our estate planning needs.

Impressive but not intimidating
From start to finish Michael and staff made the process easy and do-able. I like the thought of having a long term relationship and keeping our documents up to date. Their use of technology is impressive but not intimidating and it was particularly beneficial during the pandemic.

Estate Planning and Trusts
I have been working with Mike Haslam for 2 years as he is the attorney for my moms estate and I have POA and Legal Guardianship of my mom. He has been great to work with from the start. He answers all of my questions, and explains the things I do not understand, even when I ask more than once. Mike watches out for my mom, making sure we are making the most beneficial choices in regard to her estate. He knows his job well, he is personable and still professional. For these reasons my husband and I decided to hire Mike for our own personal needs. In this regard he has exhibited the same professional and personable qualities.

Excellent Attorney for Estate Planning
Mike met with us for a free consultation meeting and did such a thorough job explaining our options that we decided to hire him to do our estate planning and trust. He is very professional and I love that he's so accessible. He charges a flat rate that we agreed upon in the beginning and you can ask questions without being billed additional for answers. I highly recommend hiring Mike at Voyant Legal for your Estate Planning too.
