Living Trust

Mr. Wall came highly recommended by several associates that have utilized his services for estate planning and the preparation of living trusts. Mr. Wall is extremely knowledgable regarding the aforementioned services and always made himself available to answer any questions my wife and I had regardi...ng our living trust. Mr. Wall and his staff also prepared the necessary documents for my financial advisor and answer any questions he had to ensure my family’s living trust was processed correctly.

Revocable Trust Documents, Estate Planning

John Wall was highly effective in helping us develop a comprehensive revocable trust. He had great ideas to help us distribute our assets among children, extended family, friends and charitable institutions. His advice on estate planning was valuable, and helped us make decisions for those life eve...nts that are inevitable. John and his staff are efficient, and they always made good use of our time and theirs. I'll definitely ask John to help us with future legal needs.

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.
