wonderful consultation experience

My estate planning attorney referred me to Scott Rahn because he felt that he couldn't fulfill my estate planning goals. I spoke with Scott Rahn after sending all required documents for his review and in 10 minutes on the phone he identified how to accomplish our goals that my estate planning attor...ney felt he was unable to solve. Scott Rahn referred me back to my attorney and said that my attorney could actually handle my case and told me to tell my attorney how to apply the power of appointment to change the distribution of benefits in the bypass trust that seemed irrevocable.

Rock Star Guy!

For a person who did not know where to start in seeking guidance for my family’s estate and legacy, Patricia who was the intake specialist and Ryan were an amazing introduction to this world! Their friendliness, willingness and prompt responses / follow-ups were appreciated and timely. True professio...nals! I have them on my important people list to share with my friends and family who may need their services. FIVE STAR Service! Tiffany Gomonet, California

The silver lining on a dark cloud

When I discovered my brother and sister, co trustees over the small Trust our parents left their 11 grandchildren (3 being my young kids) were taking the money and investing it in their own businesses and lying about it, I spent nights trying to educated myself and protect my kids assets. I came acro...ss a well crafted video explaining self-dealing. I used the online portal that night to request a consultation. The next morning I got a call to discuss the facts of my case, and then was scheduled for my consultation within two days. My consultation was with none other then the man in the video, Scott Rahn. Scott listened to the facts, was supportive and kind, and quick to suggest a path forward that was in the best interest of me, all 11 beneficiaries and my finances. He identified a way for me to exit the Trust with the least amount of conflict and money spent and to move on with our lives. The entire process was quick, professional and everyone a pleasure to interact with. I highly recommend RMO Partners, and Scott Rahn.

Very professional international estate lawyer

I have contacted this gentleman with VERY complicated international estate case, involving money from Russian citizen, potential IRS investigation and money laundering concerns. He was very responsive and kind, doing a lot of preparation work and reviewing activities that were done two years before h...is appearance at the case. He gave me advices that saved me over 0.5M$ in fees and potential fines. I highly recommend to do business with this person. I had a feeling that he knows what he is doing and always keeps his promises. I really liked that he was interested to make the most for me in this case, not most fees for him. I rarely see this, unfortunately, that is why I wish Scott good luck and prosperity to his business
