Excellent Probate Case Guidance

I was referred to Wendell when it was discovered that a portion of my late husband's estate required opening a probate case. I could not be more pleased with the experience I received working with Wendell and his staff. The details of navigating a probate case were fully explained from the begi...nning to the end of the case and Wendell was always supportive and immediately responsive to my questions. He kept me informed concerning case progress and was extremely expeditious completing my case in approximately five months. Wendell and his team are knowledgeable, understanding, and thoroughly enjoyable to work with. I intend to hire them to draw up my Will and would utilize their expertise again if necessary.

Divorce

Wendell is an excellent choice for my uncontested divorce. From start to finish it was under 2 weeks! He was not only kind and caring but also knowledgeable and thorough. His secretary is also caring and they make a great team. I highly recommend Wendell for your Attorney! If ever I am in need ...I will be calling on him again.

Highly recommend

Wendall handled our case with knowledge and experience. Wendall was great in communicating each step of the process. We had another attorney that ended up dropping the case that is when we retained Wendall and he got us a full settlement for a car accident.

A refreshing experience

40 years experience as an insurance claims representative did not prepare me for what I encountered as a first time personal representative for the estate of a close friend. Worse, I am not very computer literate or capable when it comes to modern technology. Fortunately Wendell Belknap became my a...ttorney and got me through the estate closing process I could not have handled without his expertise. I have dealt with many attorneys during my claims career but Wendell is unique and rates at the top. He is seemingly always available, very personal. provided great guidance and counsel and got results in a very timely manner. I cannot say enough good things about him and his assistant Lori. They form a great team. They did a great job at a very reasonable cost with a minimal amount of stress for me.

Probate

Wendell was very helpful in getting me through 2 complicated probates which had to run at the same time. He and his staff were very thoughtful and knowledgeable and accomplished all in a shorter time than we expected. I was 200 miles away and we were able to do most items by phone, text and fax, T...his was a real blessing as this reduced my trips to Oregon City saving time, money and stress. I highly recommend his practice
