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.

Estate Planning

Michael was key to helping me understand and create the legal documents that will provide and protect my family should the need arise. Knowing that I have a plan for my family for what ever the future has for us is great comfort.

Family Trust and Taxes

Michael was very helpful in setting up a family trust for us. He was professional and competent. I was very happy with the end result. We also had Voyant Legal do the complicated taxes for the trust. It relieved a lot of stress to have someone with experience do them.

Family Trust

Mike took our trust from Calif and molded it to our needs here in Utah. He is very sharp and suggested things that were a benefit to us that made us feel secure in our choices. We look forward to seeing him in the future as required.

Excellent experience!

Mike made the whole process of puting together a trust very painless. He was so organized and professional as well as friendly. He thoroughly explained everything, and took the time to answer all our questions. We never felt rushed in meeting with him. He is someone you can trust! We highly recommend... him.

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.
