Darin Dooley helped my spouse and me with our Estate Planning, and assisted us during the successful Oregon Medicaid application process, for my spouse's long term care. We have worked with Darin since April 2014. Darin's knowledge and expertise in applying Elder Law principles are simply outstanding.
Our complex case included various current and future financial considerations, including future retirement, setting up several trusts for different possible future scenarios, and setting up the will.
I am confident that Darin always considers our family's best interests. He competently attends to the legal aspects of our situation, while consistently considering the details.
Darin is also very respectful to his clients. When my spouse and I signed our Power of Attorney forms, I appreciated Darin's respectful responses to my spouse's financial and legal questions, which were completely answered to my spouse's satisfaction.
Darin also consults with his office paralegal and transfer associates, and our financial advisor on our behalf to ensure that the ongoing legal facets of our situation are carefully considered, and accounted for, thoroughly.
I highly recommend Darin to anyone who needs an attorney extremely skilled in Estate Planning, Elder Law, the Medicaid process, and Special Needs Planning.
Darin enjoys helping people plan for their future, including the prospect of declining health. Darin understands how emotionally difficult the process can be and he wants his clients to feel good about their planning and confident that their wishes will be carried out effectively. Before becoming an attorney, Darin taught English as a second language and lived in Japan for over ten years. This background helps make Darin an effective communicator with a respect for cultural differences.
