Excellent Trust Litigation Attorney

I have worked with many attorneys in various capacities over the years. This was the first time I have ever needed representation. I met with and hired Mr. Kienle to represent me and my father's estate. Mr. Kienle was very knowledgeable in trust law, something that evident throughout the case. He w...ent over and above in his communication with me throughout the entire process. He was very responsive to phone calls and emails. Mr. Kienle was always respectful to the court and well prepared. It was evident this was noticed by the Judge handling the case. If you are ever in the position of needing a trust litigation attorney, I would highly recommend Mr. Kienle.

Expertise Shows! Knowlegeable, Helpful, Hears the Need, Concise and Efficient..

When my Dad passed and an unexpected probate situation arose, I was referred at the correct time to this firm for assistance with the Probate litigation. I was feeling lost and alone in a process with which I was completely unfamiliar, and Andrew Kienle expertly traversed what seemed like choppy wa...ters to me. The process was smooth and clean once he stepped in, and he kept me informed at each step in the process. His advice matched with the values I expressed, and the outcome showed that he is truly listening to his clients and understanding of the needs of the client. He is great at getting to the right path quickly which saves costs for the client (time/emotional/money) and he is honest about the right approach for the case, even if you may want to hear something different. In the end of my probate situation, I was happy with how it turned out, and the peace afforded me by having his Professional expertise leading the way during this confusing time of my life. When a relative dies, a person becomes vulnerable, and where so many would prey on that vulnerability ( as occurred in my case which is why I sought legal help in the first place), Andrew and his firm were courteous and compassionate, patient and professional. Andrew's very business-like approach combined with his personable style and ability to explain legal jargon in terms I can understand, and his quick response helped me on every part of this journey. I would answer my phone quickly if Andrew's office called, because I *knew* there was progress. I could be that confident. Andrew and his firm do not waste time, and also take the time it requires within due course to get the job done correctly, most accurately and with beneficial impact in mind. While the other party struggled just to get forms filed correctly, Andrew always had us filed timely and accurately. Never an issue. And that is a big deal in Probate cases. All steps timely and accurate. Expertise, Integrity and Compassion ~ three things lost on most of the world, and you can find them all at this Firm. Create a relationship with Andrew and his firm with confidence. I am forever grateful for the assistance in my case. Thank you!

Expertise and Integrity

We retained the services of Andrew Kienle for support with a relatively small and straightforward probate matter. While a few other prospective attorneys told us the matter ‘wouldn’t be worth their time,’ Andrew’s commitment and integrity were evident from our very first conversation with him. As we ...got underway, he reviewed the circumstances and communicated a clear and rational legal strategy. He then efficiently led the process, staying with us even after he was promoted to partner, until the matter was successfully resolved. Andrew and his firm demonstrated the highest level of professionalism throughout the process, from personal communications, to court filings, to extremely fair and transparent billing practices. Should help for another legal matter arise, our first call will be to Andrew Kienle.
