When my wife and I first met with David Duringer regarding our living trust and estate planning, we expected a couple of hours . What we got was an indepth consultation that covered many topics we had not considered. David was very patient and covered a great deal of material in considerable depth. Fe and I learned a learned a lot about the law and highly recommend him to anyone needing help with living trusts and estate planning.

Estate Planning
Dr. Duringer was extremely helpful when my wife and I came to him for advice regarding the establishment of an estate plan. There were many topics which we had not considered or were unaware of, including those related to asset protection and tax law. Dr. Duringer explained in detail, based on our circumstances and goals, what aspects of a plan would work best for us, and crafted a plan that will serve us well. I highly recommend Dr. Duringer, and I highly recommend spending the time with him to create a detailed plan that suits your needs.

Excellent Estate Planner and Advisor
Dave is extremely easy to meet with and he understands the laws like no one we have met with in the past. Our living trust was complicated, having an extended family, but Dave walked us through every important decision and made sure we understood. We highly recommend his services.
