My husband and I had an appointment with Mr. Simmons to introduce ourselves and go over Estate Planning and Will (Living Trust). We found him to be very pleasant, understanding, smart and extremely helpful with our situation. He is going to draw up a draft for us to review and we will definitely work with him. We would be happy to refer his services to family and friends.
I aid clients in selecting a business entity, forming the entity in the appropriate state, drafting partnership agreements, and establishing and maintaining appropriate corporate documentation. I also review and draft contracts of all types.
Planning for one's own death can be a challenge. I help people grapple with the issues their families will face with wills, trusts, deeds, powers of attorney, and advance directives.
After two years at the Oregon Court of Appeals, I am familiar with the court's approach to decisions. I aid clients in drafting and arguing appellate cases in civil actions.
I aid clients in forming appropriate ownership entities, drafting and reviewing partnership agreements and sale and purchase agreements, and in preparing lease-option agreements, where appropriate.
This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.
