Help for a complicated estate planning issue.

Jonathan Primuth patiently explained our options in a rather complicated case, sympathetically outlining what our personal advantages and disadvantages might be for each course of action. He was extremely professional, supportive, prompt and knowledgeable.

Estate Planning

We met several times with Jon to learn and discuss our options for estate planning. He was incredibly knowledgeable and provided excellent examples of what options we had to consider. The whole process was much easier than we anticipated considering the important decisions that had to be made. In the... end we were provided with an executed and comprehensive estate planning portfolio. I highly recommend Jon and his team for their professionalism, expertise, and quality work.

Granville & Dianne Thurman Estate Planning Project

My wife and I met with Jon Primuth and his staff assistant on two occasions. This was a third review and evaluation of our Trust since it was prepared some twenty five years ago. We were pleased and impressed with the organization of information, clarification of Trust content and suggestions for ...future Trust modifications. We highly recommend Jon Primuth as an invaluable resource for your Estate Planning needs.

Excellent Lawyer

Jonathan walked my wife and I through establishing a family trust and counseled us on ways to protect our assets and see that they are distributed according to our wishes when we pass. Our work with Jonathan has given us a great deal of peace of mind. He was terrific to work with and we couldn't reco...mmend him more highly.

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.
