Joel K Ford

Needing an attorney for any situation can be stressful. Unfortunately I have been in need several times of late: our wills, power of attorney for health care, estate planning, death of my dear husband, activating trust, probate, establishing new guardianship. Joel Ford is an expert in estate law ...and planning, financial considerations of money management, trusts, wills, etc. Joel is also an expert in sharing information, application, choices and implications of setting up a complicated trust. Joel took time to make sure we understood our options and how they would effect us and our family today, at death and beyond. Sarah Fudge was able to guide me through the complicated and emotionally taxing process of establishing a guardianship. She is a clear communicator and was able to explain complex terms and the implications easily. When called or emailed, Sarah’s responsiveness was surprisingly fast. The entire process from start to finish was much quicker than I anticipated. The costs of services were very reasonable and highly competitive with other law firms. Yet, there is no comparison for the personal, individualized service every person in their office provided us during difficult times in our lives. The professionalism, caring attitude, ability to make complex law understandable, responsiveness and expertise provided by this team of attorneys is priceless.

Ordinarily I don't write reviews, but after working on our estate plan with Joel, I'm making an exception. Taking over from our longtime attorney, he had enormous shoes to fill! After reviewing all our current estate plan documents, working with our family, and answering an extraordinary number of ...questions, all our estate documents were updated so that we felt assured and comfortable. Competent, thorough, and precise, as you'd expect from good lawyer, Joel adds a bonus of being genuine, caring, and honest. Surrounded with a crackerjack professional team, especially his assistant Janet, our estate plan was designed with attention to detail. We have absolute trust in Joel and I would highly recommend him to anyone!
