Joel has helped me through a very difficult time when I became very ill several months ago. At the time, I only had a general idea of how I would like my will written how I wanted to allocate what I had acquired.
I didn’t know where to begin so at first I sought out some recommendations and that eventually led me to Joel.
Right off I felt like I had someone who had a serious job but who liked what he did (and was good at it), innately patient and who could easily communicate the what’s and whys of what we needed to document.
Now, I’m so relieved that what I had put off is completed and it was completed in the exact way that I am comfortable with.
I should have done it sooner but then maybe I wouldn’t have met Joel.
The office atmosphere there at the Junction City office is professional but warm and friendly also. I’m glad I got out of town and took the drive!
I had an initial consultation with Joel Smith regarding whether to probate the estate of my elderly mother's deceased partner. Joel was very informative and eager to help, even though he advised not to probate, and would receive no compensation for his time.
This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
