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.
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.
A properly-prepared estate plan will ensure that you, your family, and your assets will be cared for according to your wishes in the unfortunate event of an incapacitating accident, illness, or death.
Probate is a court proceeding determining the validity of someone’s will and to whom one's assets are transferred upon their death. Probate involves filing many legal forms, consistent court appearances, and constant court supervision.

Excellent Service for Creating our Trust
Gabriel was very professional, providing us with detailed information and answers to our questions and concerns. He covered aspects of the Trust that we did not even know to ask about. He provided options for handling many of the situations and was able to clearly communicate the pros and cons of the different options. He was efficient with incorporating our inputs, even when we did not respond quickly. Overall, we are very pleased with the results of this effort.

The right attorney for our Trust
Dealing with one's Trust and anticipating end of life decisions can be daunting. We met with various attorneys looking for the right one. Beginning with the initial discussion and all the way through the process, Gabriel Lenhart's handling of our Trust issues and our apprehensions was excellent. It was excellent due not only to his professional expertise and experiences in these matters, but also in his quiet respect for both of us as we dealt with normal but nevertheless sticky issues. Along the way he provided options for our consideration but did not insist on making any of the decisions and remained non-judgmental. His handling of our Trust culminated in a highly organized portfolio making it readily usable not only for ourselves but for future use by our designated successor trustee(s), provided of course that we are actually mortal.

Estate planning update
Gabriel really LISTENED to our questions and concerns as we were updating our estate. He made suggestions and provided information to us so we could make the best decisions for our needs. We never felt rushed when he met with us in person and he was very prompt in answering our questions when corresponded electronically. We couldn't recommend him more highly!

Great Lawyer and Very Friendly
Gabe is an awesome estate attorney in my area he is by far the best, largely because of all of the extra things he does that go above and beyond a typical lawyer.
He helped me free of charge handle my mom's estate when she passed away suddenly. He also was able to help me get my kids into a nice preschool just by me being associated with him. He also gave me a good gym recommendation.
After all of that he put together a trust for my wife and I, including moving handling the deeds for both of our properties which was a big relief. I highly recommend Gabe.
He's also very reasonable on his price. Frankly he could charge 50-100% more if he wanted to for the quality of his service.

Brandon Lenhart did a great job explaining all the options for updating our family trust. He explained in laymen terms all of the sections to us. When we walked away, we felt secure. The trust was updated in a timely manner and a reasonable price.

Made it easy
We needed to put our trust together but we were a little intimidated as to what is involved. Spoke with Gabe about our situation and he couldn't have been more helpful. He patiently walked through the process with us and made it very easy on us. Very much appreciate his efforts and affordability to get this important document done for us.

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...
