Relationship: Worked together on matter

"When it comes to planning my estate, forming trusts or handling probate, I want someone who is extremely knowledgeable, detail oriented, that I can count on and trust. Kevin Von Tungeln is the guy to fit that bill for me. I know Kevin professionally and personally. He is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, incredibly detail oriented and organized. And, at least at the moment, his services are bargain priced compared to other attorneys in his field (and in my opinion less talented and dependable)."

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Kevin is an extremely competent and skillful estate planner with a great background, tremendous experience and lots and lots of know how. He is the kind of attorney that makes a difference, not only because of his legal ability and skill, but because he knows and understands his clients and their objectives and concerns. Need an estate plan in the Lancaster area, Kevin is the man!"

Trusts lawyer | Jul 21

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Kevin is a fabulous attorney, as a California Certified Specialsit in Estate Planning he is one of the top attorneys in California in his field. Kevin really knows his subject matter better than any other attorney in the field that I have run across. If you have any assets, such as a house, you need to talk to Kevin about protecting those assets, don't hesitate, call him today."

Estate planning lawyer | Jul 20

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Kevin is a very knowledgeable and thorough counselor and attorney when it comes to Estate Planning. His knowledge and counsel will save you thousands if not millions in tax dollars. In addition, he will help you through the decisions that you will have to make (decisions that you often don't want to make) so that you have a sound estate plan in place. I would recommend him to anyone who is seeking counsel for a new estate plan or for the review of an existing estate plan. It is amazing to see the mistakes that are made on canned estate plans. It is better to find those mistakes before you need your estate plan. Kevin is the person to find those mistakes and to make sure your estate plan says what you think it says."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Kevin Von Tungeln is one of the VERY BEST Estate Planning attorneys in the United States. He's a Board Certified attorney in California, a distinction held by only 1/3 of 1% of attorneys in the State. Kevin cares about his clients and it shows. If you need Estate Planning in the Antelope Valley or anywhere in the US, I think you'd be crazy not to give Kevin a call."
