Personable, Honest and Balanced Dustin...

I have known Dustin Sichon for about 7 years and have used him as my counsel and trusted adviser. I cannot say enough about his professional abilities and moral integrity. Last year, a trust dispute arose over the administration of my Father's Trust. It was a difficult and emotional situation.... Dustin stepped in to provide me assistance, inform me of administration process, and what my relative rights were. He quickly became my rock to lean on when an opposing lawyer made the process of handling my father's estate difficult at best. Dustin's cool, honest approach brought everything together in a friendly professional manner. This is rare in today's litigious society where too many lawyers are attempting to milk an already expensive situation. Dustin was efficient and worth every penny. Prior to my father's trust administration issue, I had referred several clients to him. He has provided each of them with personal care and professionalism. On one occasion, he helped a friend of mine on his death bed to create a living trust for his two children in just days and literally completing the process two days before he died. Dustin jumped through major hoops to bring it all together, just as this lifetime friend of mine could barely sign his name! I would encourage anybody needing legal advice in estate planning and handling family trusts to do so with complete confidence.
