A Recommendation for Kyle M Johnston

My father had developed rapid onset dementia without making any plans for his estate or his care. After interviewing several attorneys, I hired Kyle to be my father's attorney. He set up a trust that assured Dad's on-going care and protected his assets. When dad died, Kyle settled the estate for ...the family. Kyle was professional, knowledgeable, extremely responsive with a "can do" attitude. He is easy to talk to, responds quickly to emergencies, and deals well with difficult personalities. I highly recommend him.

Great experience

We put off estate planning forever -- too expensive, our family too complicated, etc. Kyle just walked us through it, helped us make the best decisions and followed through. A great service and at very reasonable prices.
