Made a difficult task easy

As adults and parents, we knew we needed to create a living will and trust. I was so nervous to start the process; worried about the emotions it would bring, how time consuming and tedious it would be, the cost, etc. Russ made it so easy. He explained everything in great detail, answered our quest...ions, and was patient while we discussed our answers. He was easy to coordinate schedules with and very efficient with his communication. I am so glad to have this task complete,and I am grateful that we went with Russ.

Impressive!

I needed to redo my trust and estate plan and I'm so glad to have found Russell Blood! I found him to be highly organized and educational in his approach, which I really appreciated, because I learned many things important for my specific needs. By the end of our sessions, I feel like I made a good ...friend, and walked away happy with the revised and improved trust.

Family Trust Client

My husband and I hired Russ to help us with our family financial/health planning, not really knowing what we wanted or needed. He was extremely patient and knowledgeable in explaining all the different options available to us. We never felt pressured to make a decision on something that was not cle...ar, with Russ often taking the time to go over things multiple times. We decided that the best option for us was a family trust and we are very happy with the final product. It was important to us that the person we were looking to hire be friendly as well as reliable and professional. We found Russ to be all those things and would highly recommend him and his services.
