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.

Estate planning

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.

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.

I received a call from a man wanting to help me with supplemental insurance to Medicare. While I was fine with what I had, I asked him if, by chance, he knew of an attorney that handled estate planning. He gave me the name of Mike Haslam. I made an appointment with Mike and he helped me tremendo...usly with what I needed. He also handled my trust. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I would highly recommend Voyant Legal to anyone needing assistance in estate planning or a trust.
