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.

Professional, Knowledgeable, & Friendly Service

When my cousin died in January of 2014, and I realized the immensity of the task I had as the Trust Administrator, I did not know exactly what to do, since I live in Portland, OR, and my cousin was in Pasadena. As things got complicated, with some assets going into Probate, I looked up attorneys in P...asadena, and made a cold call to the office of Jonathan Primuth. I was most surprised and delighted that HE actually answered the phone. I told him the situation, and he offered to look at the details and get back to me with some suggestions. Jon quickly responded with some good advice, and I hired him to handle the Probate issues with the Estate/Trust. He guided me through the process...two times having to go to the court after some more research on my part. I met with Jon and his staff ParaLegal twice in Pasadena, and those meetings were informative and very productive. Everything got resolved, thanks to Jonathan Primuth's deep knowledge of the Estate/Trust area. And...most of this got handled at some distance, since I could not go to Pasadena very often. Jon's legal fees were fare and reasonable, and I feel very satisfied with how everything was resolved. I would recommend him and his office without hesitation.

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.
