Posted by Kathy | January 07, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Trusts

Excellent

Hired West Hunsaker to restate my Trust and he was very personable, tentative to details and explained things in simple everyday language making things easy to understand. I would definitely work with Mr. Hunsaker again and highly recommend him to others.

Posted by Chris | August 20, 2013 | Estate Planning

Very professional and thorough

Very satisfied with Mr. Hunsaker's work. We really needed to get our estate planning/living will in order and he made the process easy and was very thorough. I was impressed with his ability to explain things in a way that my wife and I could easily understand. It's a process that we have avoided ...for too long and can be a little uncomfortable, but he put us at ease. MHK has the reputation as being the best in Estate Planning and after working with Mr. Hunsaker, we agree with that assessment.

Posted by Michael | April 26, 2013 | Estate Planning

Very professional trusts and estates lawyer - highly recommended

Very professional and extremely knowledgeable in the trust/estate/wills field. Would definitely recommend him to anyone needing to plan for the future. Despite ti being something that nobody wants to think about, Mr. Hunskaer made the process easy and helped me understand why and how the process work...s.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
