Donald G Rolfe

I am a reformed litigator. While rewarding, litigation focuses on cleaning up messes due to poor planning. I knew there was a better way to practice law, and I find it much more rewarding. That better way is to serve my clients as an Estate Planning Attorney. 

My role now is to help my client avoid the need of a litigator's services. Working with my personal and business clients I strive to anticpate and head off problems that far too often end up costing lots of money to deal with. 

I Am An Estate Planning Attorney 

I help families, Individuals and their loved ones avoid the burdens, pains and costs which often arise from poor planning or the failure to plan.

As an Estate Planning Attoreny I help to stop unintended consequences and family turmoil. My focus is helping people control and distribute their values and possessions in the way they want, to whom they want and when they want. I founded NWLP to provide personalized comprehensive Estate Planning to those who want to insure that their values, legacy and assets are preserved for the coming generations.

I work to not only help transfer their tangible assets, but also experiences, values, advice and history to loved ones. This is accomplished by building lasting relationships with my clients, not just selling them a set of documents. I believe the basis for a good lawyer-client relationship is understanding my client's goals, wishes and desires...the documents I create are the tools I use to make those wishes and desires real. I am proud to offer a number of personalized Estate Planning Services.

Personal:

When not serving my clients, I enjoy spending time with my amazing wife, Colleen, enjoying and exploring the beautiful Northwest. Colleen and I are Portland Natives. We have returned to PDX from Phoenix to be closer to our families and to start a family of our own. We enjoy gardening and eating the fruits of our labor.
