Exceptional Estate Planning

Our estate planning was flawless. Before consulting with Randy, I didn't know much about the differences between a trust and a will. His expertise was apparent with each and every step in our estate planning. His knowledge on the subject matter is superb and his responsiveness and approach to due ...diligence in pointing out specifics is unsurpassed. For example, his review of our estate identified several areas such as mineral rights we should address. We were not even aware of this until Randy pointed it out. He then provided the necessary guidance and support for an action plan to address improvements. Including tax implications and future considerations. Additionally, we look forward to his insightful and helpful newsletters. Without hesitation Randy gets five stars. We are very happy to know he is in our corner.

Estate Planning

I hired Randy Klotz to help draw up my living will. As most of my estate is going to charities, he advised me how to designate which charities got how much and even made recommendations on who could handle setting up the scholarship fund I wished to have. As I didn't really know how to start, he was... patient and guided me along the way, making sure that I understood everything

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.
