Thorough, efficient, and patient

Helped our family set up a complete estate plan. Answered every question and followed up in a timely fashion. Very friendly office staff and convenient location, too. An excellent experience all around.

It's your money and family - take good care of both

I first met with David while working with my father on his estate and trust (eldest son responsibility). My Dad was very pleased with the years of work David did for he and my Mom, and it was fairly involved with out of state retirements; charitable donations, and several other matters. The brothers ...were reassured because of the meetings we had, and I know Dad has no concerns about his wishes or plans. Because David is so thorough, clear in explaining what's going on, and imparts a strong sense of safety, knowledge and responsibility, my wife and I had David draw up our wills and set up a trust for our boys. If you have assets you want to share, both with family and hopefully philanthropically, take the time and the reasonable cost to have David set you up correctly. A one size fits all template from the web isn't how I want my wishes delivered or my life's work shared. And David is a funny guy. Extremely smart, and nice. I strongly recommend him and his team.

Trustworthy, thorough, and kind

After my mother's sudden and unexpected death, a friend referred me to David. He was an invaluable resource to my family during a hectic, difficult time. He guided us through the probate process, providing clear, thorough information in a compassionate way. He is always reachable, gets back to client...s quickly, and takes time to explain things. In the years since my mother died, I've worked with David to prepare a trust of my own. In short, I cannot recommend David highly enough to anyone looking for a probate or estate planning lawyer.

Excellent Attorney

I can't recommend David Brown highly enough. He has helped me through complicated estate planning, setting up and revising a Trust. He has done everything expediently, professionally, and has explained everything thoroughly. He has excellent suggestions, as well.

Law, Functional, Fun, and Easy!

David helped us with our will many years ago and with the passing of parents and dealing with that, we decided to establish a revocable trust. He was very efficient telling us exactly what we needed to bring for the preliminary meeting and then went through it with us step by step, explaining each se...ction in terms we could understand. His easy going demeanor, sense of humor and professionalism made this a hassle free and enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend him if you are in need of a great lawyer.
