Joel K Ford

It was such a relief to work with a very knowledgeable person who has attention to detail in this confusing world of setting up a trust. Joel took as much time as we needed to initially go over our needs, explain what makes sense for my estate and then walked us step by step through all the document...s that ensure the smooth transfer of my estate. The office staff followed up promptly with all my inquiries and got reached out to clarify any details. I have no hesitation in recommending Joel and his firm.

We worked with Joel Ford to create a trust. Joel is personable and non-threatening, very knowledgable, explained every detail clearly and in plain language, and answered all questions to our satisfaction. All the changes we requested after receiving a draft of the trust documents were made correctly ...the first time and there was no need for multiple iterations. The office staff is excellent, very quick to respond to e-mail enquiries and very efficient with respect to setting up appointments and reminding us what we should bring with us. I would recommend Joel to anyone who needs to create a will or trust.

I contacted several firms online, but this was the only one that responded. Janet was helpful in explaining to us why we could likely not probate the estate in Oregon and why this was not something their firm could do. She also directed us to someone who might better assist us. I very much appreciat...e the time she spent on the phone and by email, very professional and empathetic. I would put them first on my list in the future.
