Great trust attorney

We received a referral from a local accounting firm to work with Gabe on our family trust. From the get go, Gabe was clear, concise, and thorough. He and his office were flexible with meeting days and times and delivered a completed trust on time, and on budget.

Honest Lawyer

It was a delight to work with Gabriel. He updated my trust for me. It was easy (not conflated), made very simple and his services were very affordable. I have recommended him to several people for his honesty and professionalism.

Posted by Mark | January 10, 2023

Floyd Family Trust

He created the family trust for us. And explained everything in terms that we understood Gabriel let us know that he would be at our service anytime we need him.

Posted by Robert | January 4, 2023

The best!

He was so patient and kind in explaining the various complex aspects of a Trust. Gabriel Lenhart is very professional and thorough in the follow through. We felt, and still do, in very good hands. He was recommended by good friends and we have not hesitated to do the same.

Posted by KATHLEEN | January 4, 2023

Excellent service

Gabriel made the difficult job of addressing end-of-life issues as stress free as possible. He was thorough, thoughtful, competent. All documents were electronically shared with the children with an invitation to call with questions. Job done!

Response from Gabriel Lenhart January 5, 2023

Thank you so much for the kind words, Kathleen! Wishing you all the best in the new year!

Posted by Michael | January 4, 2023

not your typical lawyer - which is what makes him such an outstanding one...

I'm 73 and this is the first time I've ever had to consult / hire a lawyer - and to be honest the reason I chose him is because of his photo online (unpretentious) and he was the only lawyer on the website who wasn't wearing a tie... now I assume he wears one when he goes to court - but he's not trying to impress anyone by wearing a suit and tie to his office... he doesn't need a suit and tie to impress - his actions speak louder than any tie... and my intuition upon seeing his photo was absolutely right on... where lawyers generally have a reputation for being less than honest and lacking integrity - I can simply say that Gabriel has Integrity, and he put together an outstanding Trust for me... but don't take my word for it - just go talk to him...

Great Experience

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Gabriel's office. I set up a family trust and my husband had a will drawn up. Gabriel made certain that all our questions were answered beforehand and that everything was taken care of in a timely manner. Both Gabriel and Lucy were professional, polite and highly knowledgeable. I can't think of one thing that could have been improved upon. I would not hesitate to recommend Gabriel's office to anyone.

Estate Planning Change

Gabriel was completely above board with the changes we decided to make to our trust. Met in person to go over our changes and he explained all the details and the good and bad with what we were wanting to change. Within two weeks we met again to sign final notary documents and received a thorough explanation of our new updated trust the same day. Following less then a week later in the mail we received as promised an electronic copy of the trust to share with our family. More then met our expectations and we will use Gabriel again in the future.

After procrastinating for years, we made an appointment with Gabriel after getting a recommendation from a trusted friend. The whole experience was seamless, start to finish.

Gabriel is on the cutting edge of the latest as regards the law. He was efficient and thorough, took the time to answer all of our questions and pointed out angles to proceed of which we weren't at all aware. That was most assuring!
