We were researching quite a few estate planning law firms nearby Chandler AZ area and found Mr. Marcus Seiter with good reviews and experience. I then made a first call regarding our living trust and specific needs. During this conversation, Mr. Seiter was straightforward, friendly and knowledgeable. Mr. Seiter provided a reasonable cost and schedule at the time. This led us with a good impression and we felt comfortably to move forward with him. During our meeting, Mr. Seiter spent his time to go over the revocable living trust scope/essential elements, discuss our needs, and answer all our questions/concerns in details. Following that, Mr. Seiter provided a detailed draft of our living trust document for review. We were very impressed with the summary of estate planning provisions that guided us through the entire review process. To follow-up, we had a second tel-conference. Mr. Seiter reviewed our feedback and answered/clarified additional questions. All the changes were incorporated into the final version. Mr. Seiter and his office staff were well-organized and made the entire document signing process smoothly and timely. We were provided a well-prepared estate document (in a binder). In summary, we were very pleased with our decision with Mr. Seiter and felt fortunate to have him as our estate planning attorney. We would highly recommend Mr. Seiter and his law firm.
Marcus was so easy to work with, gave great explanations and recommendations and when we called from the bank with questions on transferring the account name- He answered the phone!

I am passionate about helping people formulate plans to reach their goals. Since 1999, I have been involved in that process with hundreds of clients as a professional in the financial services industry. In 2011, I enrolled at Arizona Summit Law School. It wasn’t always easy balancing family and school while maintaining a growing financial services company. But with the help of my wife and others, along with some divine intervention, I graduated with honors (summa cum laude) in 2014. The rest is history. Now I spend my time helping individuals and families create and maintain solid estate plans – truly an important work!
On a more personal note:
Before becoming an attorney, I grew up in Scottsdale, went to Horizon High School, and then joined the United States Marine Corps Reserves. Following my active duty training, I went on a 2 year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and later graduated from Arizona State University – go Sun Devils! Along the way I moved to Mesa where I met my sweetheart – Jennifer. We were married in 1999 and have since been blessed with 6 children (4 boys & 2 girls)! So when I’m not at work, I’m usually playing with my family, fixing up the house, or playing basketball.
Client's Choice is an Avvo award granted to attorneys with a significant number of client reviews over 4 stars in a given year.

Best choice for estate planning!
Our experience with Seiter law could not have been better!
We have worked with Marcus on estate planning for ourselves, and for our father/father-in-law. Our college age children both have powers of attorney for medical and financial affairs.
In all these situations, Marcus was thoroughly professional, prepared, and extremely helpful. He helped us through the process, patiently answering all our questions, and giving excellent advice.
Due to a long illness, we had the occasion to use the medical and financial powers of attorney for our father/father-in-law multiple times. Having these documents in place helped immeasurably. Sadly, he passed away last year. Much of what we faced at that time was a challenge. What was not a challenge? Things related to the estate. Marcus had prepared all the documents we needed and it made things as seamless as possible.
Preparing the documents is the first step. Having them available and putting them to use is what makes them so valuable. Medical, financial, and estate related issues can be complicated. With help from Marcus, we had everything we needed.

Estate Planning
Seiter Law, PLLC provided us with a professional in-depth get-to-know-you interview related to our current family situation and financial status. It was friendly, and the discussion was at a level conducive to our limited knowledge about estate planning and available options related to our distribution of assets upon our death. Mr. Seiter answered our questions throughout each discussion. After our initial consultation, we were provided with draft copies of all pending documents, which was followed later to obtain signatures on the final documents. There was excellent follow-up throughout the process with no pressure for completion. In all, the entire team at Seiter Law, PLLC conducted our business in a personal and professional manner, which was greatly appreciated.

Marcus Seiter recommendation
A friend suggested my husband and I consider talking with Marcus Seiter about representing us to review and update our trust. Selecting Marcus to assist us was one of the best decisions we ever made. He hit all the right buttons at our first meeting. Marcus was professional, knowledgeable, listened and heard our concerns. He offered suggestions and alternatives addressing our situation. He explained the legalities and complications we faced with patience and in language our “elder ears and minds “could comprehend. Marcus is respectful, witty, funny, a family man and just a super nice guy. Without hesitation it is our pleasure to recommend Marcus Seiter Law for Estate Planning.

Competent and Easy to Work With
Years ago, my we had our will and trust professionally written and realized it was time to rewrite and update. I checked with several friends and Marcus Seiter’s name came up multiple times. I called his office to check out the details of the procedure and costs. Mr. Seiter was straightforward. He mentioned the steps that needed to be completed, how to make an appointment, the time frame to completion, and cost. We were immediately onboard because he explained what was required of us and what the outcome would be. If you are looking for a pleasant and easy to understand person to work with, we would rank Marcus at the top of the list. We were most pleased with the outcome and his ability to make everything easy to understand. Finally, his office staff is pleasant, well-organized, and relaxed. The entire process was painless and went smoothly. Deb and I feel like we made the right decision.

A great, seamless experience! And what a nice guy!
We had an excellent experience working with Marcus on our estate plan. He is a knowledgeable professional, exuding kindness and patience as he guided us through the documents and terms. He made the process seamless and was available to answer questions via email between appointments. We enjoyed the time we spent working with him, and we especially appreciate the follow up communication from his office to ensure that the final tasks on our list are completed. We highly, highly recommend Marcus Seiter for your estate planning process – it is an essential “to-do list” item, and going through this law office was the best decision we could have made. Two thumbs up!

New family Trust.
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to you and your staff for all the care you have shown us to ensure that we have a perfect new family trust. Our first family trust dating from 1996 was outdated.It needed to be amended and getting a new one was a must. Marcus has been very generous with his time, his legal expertise,professionalism and efforts. Thank you again for everything.

Great Trust Attorney
Upon moving from IL to AZ, a neighbor recommended contacting Seiter Law to update my trust & POAs. He was easy to work with and provided a draft to review well before the signing appointment. I loved working with him and have recommended him to my nephew & husband.

Great Estate Planning Update
Marcus reviewed our existing estate plan and made updates. The comprehensive review added to our awareness of the requirements (that were previously missing) and illustrated that he is very familiar with Arizona law. Marcus is a good fellow with his feet on the ground. We feel that we have a good plan going forward. We would highly recommend his services; professional and cost-effective.

Experienced Professional
It had been a number of years since our wills had been updated. We felt we needed to get that done and did a Google search for Tempe Estate planning lawyers. Boy, were we lucky when we found Marcus Seiter!! Marcus sat with us and through a list of thorough questions, ascertained both our needs and helped us think about some additional planning. In just a few weeks we were invited back to review all our materials. We left with a complete portfolio of documents that should make handling all our affairs very simple for either the surviving spouse and/or our children. With just a little forethought, one's assets can be protected and any final wishes can be spelled out. Marcus' professionalism and knowledge went a long way in establishing our trust in him. We would highly recommend Marcus Seiter.

Trustworthy!
We were looking to update our Trust after many years and many life changes. We researched law firms in the Tempe/Chandler area and found excellent reviews on Marcus Seiter and Seiter Law. Our experience was well above our expectations. The process was very easy and thorough. We had all of our questions clearly answered with just right enough information and not too much to get us confused or overwhelmed. We completely feel the costs were reasonable for the quality/value we received. We left with a huge smile and a sense of relief to finally have a solid Trust in our hands! We would highly recommend Seiter Law!
