Estate Planning Portfolio

Mr. Macanas was most supportive during the time of my divorce. I needed to have a new estate planning plan, and he accomplished this in a superior way. His wife even came to get my signature at one point. He was always eager to help me and answered my questions in a most knowledgeable and helpful ...way. I strongly urge anyone who needs an attorney to contact him! He is the best. Mahalo nui loa.

Excellent and thorough legal services, gold standard customer service

In my encounters with various lawyers to obtain estate, will, and legal guidance over the past 40 years, I would rank Mr. Macanas as the most detailed, personable, and professional lawyers I have known. He provided excellent advice and posed questions that were essential to prepare the comprehensive... will and estate documents, and general and medical durable powers of attorney. He went point by point when providing the finished documents for my wife and me. I would strongly recommend him if you wantaccessible and customer service focused legal will, estate, and trust planning advice.

Peace of Mind

Jarrett was recommended to us from a friend. He made the process of setting up all the details of our living revocable trusts absolutely painless. He explained the technical terminology of our documents. Besides telling us, he also showed us the process of how trusts are set up via PowerPoint. More i...mportantly, Jarrett and his staff are very approachable, professional, and wonderfully accessible. We did not feel rushed into making decisions, nor did we feel belittled when we were not familiar with various aspects of the law. We really appreciate the time he took to explain the process thoroughly and answer our questions fully. We highly recommend Jarrett Macanas and Macanas Law.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
