Absolutely fantastic, 10/10, recommend.

My wife and I worked with Marisa on estate planning (wills, trusts, power of attorney papers, etc). It was an absolute delight to work with Marisa and her staff. The staff were professional and prompt in their communication, and Marisa was thorough in her treatment of our paperwork, took time to answ...er our many questions, and was a warm and wonderful person in the process. Absolutely recommend this crew; if we ever have occasion for amending our papers, we will 100% be back.

Highly recommended

I needed a trust and Ms Moneyhun came highly recommended. Working with her and her assistant Audrey was a pleasure. They patiently explained the entire process to me and worked with my family and me to give us the trust we needed.

Out of state Probate

When my father passed, I was left with managing his estate without a will, and from out of state. I researched probate attorneys in the Portland area. Marisa Moneyhun was one of five attorneys that I narrowed it down to and spoke with. Marisa stood out to me because her experience and involvement in ...shaping probate practice in Oregon. After our first conversation it was clear that she was the right person to assist me in the probate process. Marisa's competent, efficient manner of conducting business was complimented by her compassionate demeanor. Quality legal representation/guidance can also be kind and thoughtful. The entire legal team at Kehoe Moneyhun Law was exceptional. I have referred friends and family to the practice knowing that they will be in good hands during a difficult time. Sincerely Nick T.

Highly recommend, very patient and thorough team

Marisa and her team are great. They were very patient to answer all of our questions and help us make the best decisions for our family regarding our will, medical power of attorney, trusts, etc. It is great to have a lawyer who can translate all of that to everyday language and explain the practic...al implications of our decisions.

Knowledgeable Lawyer that makes THE process extremely easy

Upon moving to Oregon in 2015, Marisa was instrumental in getting our Trust and Wills updated to OR requirements. Marisa is prompt and very responsive, friendly and knowledgeable about all things related to Trusts and Wills. One word that describes Maris is thorough. So when we needed to update our T...rust and Wills in 2022, we relied on Marisa once again to help us get our affairs in order. Again, Marisa was very responsive and made the process extremely easy!
