Great for estate planning

I had an outstanding experience with Marcus. He helped me update my trust and took the time to address all of the details I had. I asked him to make additional changes several times and he always did so quickly. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and the process was painless.... I'm not confident I have everything in place for my kids to inherit my estate without any problems. I highly recommend him.

Excellent Experience Creating Our Family Trust and Will

We had a wonderful experience working with Seiter Law, PLLC to create our family trust and will. From start to finish, the entire process was handled with care, clarity, and professionalism. Estate planning can feel overwhelming, but they were incredibly patient and took the time to explain every ...step in a way that was easy to understand. All of our questions were answered thoroughly, and we never felt rushed or pressured. Their attention to detail gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was done correctly and thoughtfully. What stood out most was how kind, responsive, and genuinely helpful they were throughout the process. It truly felt like they cared about our family and our future, not just the paperwork. We are so grateful for their guidance and would highly recommend Seiter Law, PLLC to anyone looking to set up a trust, will, or estate plan with confidence and ease.

Definitely 5 Star

Marcus is very thorough and knowledgeable, with excellent follow-up. Great office staff. And patient!! I have worked with Marcus since 2017, both as a trustee and to keep our family trusts updated.

Exceptional Experience

I had an exceptional experience working with Seiter Law during my family’s estate planning process, which included the creation of a revocable trust and will. Marcus Seiter demonstrated a notable depth of expertise, coupled with a poised and highly professional demeanor. I especially admired his quic...k wit and ability to inject well-timed levity into an otherwise somber review of post-mortem topics regarding oneself. He took great care to address both straightforward inquiries and more nuanced legal questions with clarity and patience. Equally commendable was the consistent transparency and responsiveness of his team—particularly Jennifer Seiter—whose communication throughout the process was both timely and reassuring. I am thoroughly satisfied with the services provided by Seiter Law and, without hesitation, offer my highest recommendation to anyone seeking thoughtful, thorough, and expert guidance in estate planning.

Very informative process

I enjoyed very much working with Seiter Law. Marcus listened to my concerns, answered all of my questions, and explained everything in layman's English, rather than "legalese." He was  thorough, detail oriented, and didn't reinvent the wheel as he was updating all of my Will, trusts, etc. to com...ply with AZ law as I moved from Florida. He was a good teacher and explained his reasoning for any changes he suggested. It was a very comfortable and enjoyable process.
