Will & Trust
I found out about Ben from a presentation he did in Beaverton. Immediately felt his knowledge & experience was what I was looking for. All contacts with Ben & his assistant Wendy were professional & efficient. Final signing was detailed and thorough.

Ben is the best
I've been to two other lawyers in the past and neither of them have explained things so thoroughly and completely. I highly recommend him.

Needed to Update the Will
After my brother died I needed to update my will and I certainly wasn't looking forward to it. I had several meetings with Benjamin Rasche as he had done our first will. He is very knowledgeable and made the process easy. We signed the papers for the new will earlier in the week and now it's all taken care of -- honestly I can sleep better at night knowing this has been completed. I would highly recommend Benjamin and his staff -- they are top notch!!

Thorough and helpful
Warm and friendly. Clear and thorough explanations. Brought up things I’d never thought about. A great experience all around. I’m glad I stopped procrastinating!

Thorough and efficient!
Ben was great to work with. He helped us think through various planning alternatives, walked us through the process, and got all the paperwork generated and finalized quickly and efficiently. My wife and I feel much better about our estate situation, and we're happy knowing that we can continue to consult and check-in with Ben going forward to keep everything up-to-date.

Trust Preparation
Mr. Rasche and his staff did an excellent job working through the numerous details concerning the development of a trust for us. They were also very patient with us as numerous issues occurred which delayed the ultimate trust itself. We were pleased with their understanding and they explained details to us which had an impact as to how best to proceed. We would recommend him and his team to others when they need family legal/etstate advice.

Professional, Knowledgeable and Prompt!
I learned of Ben's services through a Multnomah County Library workshop related to the book titled "A Will Is Not Enough in Oregon" by Richard Schneider. I found the workshop and Richard's book very informative and helpful. Ben recently completed the set up of my revocable living trust. During the free consultation and the main information gathering sessions, Ben answered my many questions with his knowledgeable and precise answers in a professional manner. He explained the process to meet my needs and clearly stated the simple one-time service fee covers all future trust updates. At the signing session, his assistant (Laura) has already lined up all documents prior to my arrival. Ben methodically walked me through the documents and pointed out action items for me to follow up. I went home feeling confident with this task item checked off on my must-do list. This is a solid 5-star rating service! Ben did mostly stick to business through out the process and not much chitchatting, very efficient. It would have been a 5+ star rating with additional brief soft anecdotal conversation. Due to the current COVID social distancing limitations, the process was conducted via video meetings and followed with an in-person signing session. His office has done a great job in setting up a specially prepped section of the office for the in-person signing session. Ben and his staff are also very responsive through out the process; for example, promptly rescheduling the signing session that was impacted by the February snow/ice storm. Thank you!

Highly Recommend!!
Highly recommend!! Prompt & professional. I am "old school" and and more comfortable with in person business - councilor Rasche accommodated me with distant window screen. Personalized & caring!

Great experience
He was very informative and not at all pressuring us to use his services during the free first visit. Work was done in a timely manner and well explained to us. We are very satisfied.

Estate planning
Mr. Rasche is knowledgeable, he listens to and answers your questions. We completed our Will and Living Trust during the Covid-19 outbreak. His office went above and beyond taking steps to complete the signing and maintain a 6 foot separation.

Ben Rasche is a terrific estate attorney.
I hired Ben Rasche to create an estate plan and will for me. I found Ben to be very knowledgeable and the work he did to be efficient and professional at a reasonable cost. Just as importantly, he was a real pleasure to work with - kind, patient and considerate in all my interactions with him. He was open to, even eager, to include others in our meetings, treating them with the same exemplary consideration that he gave me. Both of them are considering using Ben to work on their estate plans and wills.

Estate Planning Review/Recommendation
Ben was highly professional, knowledgeable, and gave us solid, practical advice. He was patient with us as we worked through the many steps of estate planning, available to answer questions, offered very good referrals for helping to set up a charitable giving fund, helped sort out the distribution choices for our estate. He also has an excellent, professional assistant who helped with scheduling and followup on tasks. We would highly recommend this attorney for estate planning.

Fine job
We consulted with Mr. Rasche for estate planning, and we found him to be an expert on that topic. All costs were disclosed to us up front. We found him and his staff to be pleasant and professional.

Every "i" dotted and every "t" crossed.
Ben Rasche made the process of updating my estate plan a breeze. I moved from another state two years ago and had put it off, anticipating it would be a difficult process, but Mr. Rasche was extremely efficient and thorough. When you sit down with him, you will realize that he has done this "a few times". He gave me great confidence that every possibility has been addressed and I can sleep well at night. If you're putting off your estate planning—get going! It's well worth the investment and it's a no-brainer as long as you go with Ben Rasche. His assistant, Laura, is fabulous and professional, as well!

Super knowledgeable
Ben was a joy to work with. His patience in explaining the process to me was superb and much appreciated. He is very knowledgeable and yet can explain his knowledge using layman's terms. I would highly recommend him.

Great Listening skills, easy to work with, excellent experience
We highly recommend Benjamin L Rasche for your estate planning needs. Ours were complex, including real estate and many different people listed in our gifts, but he made the process easy to understand and specific to our needs, preferences and requests. We feel so much relief knowing we finally got this done. It is an important piece of financial and life planning and brings great security once it is finished. We really loved working with him and feel confident that the job got done fully and completely and correctly.

A perfect experience from the beginning
Seeing one his free presentations on trusteeship at a local library based on a friend's recommendation, we were impressed with the thoroughness of the issues presented. When we went to his office for a free consultation, the personalized follow-up was just as impressive. We hired him to set up our trusteeship and have been pleased with all aspects of his office and of Ben personally. We have finished all aspects of the set up of the trusteeship but he continues to be willing to address any and all of our concerns that we call about as they surface weeks afterwards. We will continue to work with him and have already recommended him and his office to others.
