This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very Capable Trust Attorney

Our family trust was created several years ago, and we knew that several changes were needed. We are so fortunate to have found Mr. Boss to do this work for us. Not only was his knowledge of trust law thorough and up-to-date, but he was very clear and also patient in his explanation to us of variou...s provisions in the trust. I had just spent several months of frustration and confusion with a different lawyer in the administration of my parents' trust. Working with Mr. Boss was like a breath of fresh air after that experience. My phone calls and e-mails were answered promptly. All of the work on the trust was completed in the time agreed upon. We have already recommended him to our best friends, knowing that they would receive conscientious and excellent service.

A Lawyer's Lawyer and a Client's Best Legal Professional

Donald Boss is a lawyer's lawyer. He is knowledgeable in the areas of business planning, trusts, wills, estate planning, and a host of other information. I have consulted with him on numerous occasions and have referred him clients who have given me positive feedback after he has rendered services ...for them. He's an outstanding lawyer.

HE MANAGED ME SUCCESSFULLY

I was the Executor of a Will with a trust benefiting two beneficiaries, myself and an estranged family member. When this responsibility was thrust on me I was busy with my business, refused to contact the second beneficiary and mostly ignored Don's direction and advice. Don chased me down, forceful...ly explained my legal obligations and laid out my detailed "To Do" list. Don made it as easy as possible for me but never relented on meeting deadlines and getting things done. Don knew his stuff and how to manage at least one difficult client.

Excellent business attorney

I was referred to Mr. Boss by a friend when I needed a contract and business agreement drawn up. From the initial phone conversation, I felt confident that I had found an excellent attorney. When we met face to face, my initial comfort was confirmed, as I felt at ease, as he's a nice guy too. Mr. ...Boss brought up points and issues that I never would have thought of. As a result, he put together very impressive contracts for me that not only benefited me, but also protected the business. I highly recommend Donald Boss, and am thankful to my friend for the referral.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Attorney Don Boss and I first met when we opposed each other on a matter involving trusts and probate. He was tough and effective but at the same time reasonable and we were able to settle the case. Because of the respect that I developed for Attorney Boss in that encounter, since that time we have worked together on several cases. He is a strong advocate and knowledgeable in the law. More than all of that, Attorney Boss actively explores how to resolve the dispute to the benefit of his clients without the necessity of costly litigation. Attorney Don Boss gets my highest recommendation for anyone looking for legal representation."
