Help With Will and Trust Documents

Marc was wonderful! He provided excellent guidance and advice on the language of a confusing trust document to help me navigate the legal issues. Marc is obviously very knowledgable and is an excellent communicator. I would recommend him to anyone who needs help with a will or a trust.

Estate planning lawyer | Oct 31

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Marc Austin was kind enough to help me on a very contentious estate dispute. I don't know much about trusts and estates because my area of practice is intellectual property. However, Marc met with me and reviewed the various documents that I had provided. He was professional, courteous, and very engaged. He clearly knew the law, provided some great analysis, and gave me some very solid advice on how to proceed. If you have a question about wills, trusts, and estates, do not hesitate to call Marc for some seriously good advice. Highly recommend."

Estate planning lawyer | Sep 11

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have worked with Marc in a variety of situations, and he is always pleasant and professional. In the times I've interacted with Marc, he has volunteered his time mentoring a new lawyer, explained complex estate issues, and advised on a full range of trust issues. I think Marc is uniquely qualified for his trusts and estates practice because of his accounting background and his CPA license. But the reason I always choose to work with Marc, rather than with other lawyers who practice in the same legal areas, is that he is so pleasant to work with. Marc is the consummate professional. I refer everyone who asks me for the best trusts and estates lawyer to Marc Austin."
