Knowledgeble, Personable & Dedicated
Attorney Palmer was referred to me by an attorney here in Connecticut that I work closely with. I needed an attorney familiar with Elder Care & Trust issues as well as someone who could be trusted to work with me from a distance since the action took place in Seattle & I live in CT. John went out o...

My dealings with John Palmer
John set up our will and trust, as well as my mother's trust. He did a excellent job, was easy to work with and followed through with everything he said he would do. Any advice or documents I've needed he has provided to me in a very timely manor. I highly recommend him.

One Fantastic Lawyer

Very Good Family Law and Estate Planning
This attorney does a very thorough job and treats his clients with the utmost respect and care. He handled the settlement of my mothers estate which was not easy with 9 surviving children and 12 grandchildren and he recently redid the wills for me and my new wife. I would recommend John for all...
"I have a very high regard for John Palmer and his abilities as an elder law and estate planning practitioner. I have come to know John through our professional elder law associations and his contributions to numerous elder law discussions. John is committed to assisting seniors in navigating the difficult issues they must face such as planning for incapacity, obtaining long term care without being wiped out financially and estate planning. I would have no hesitation in referring anyone to John Palmer."
"I endorse this lawyer, as Mr. Palmer did a fine job representing the wife in a dissolution matter that my client pursued. The wife was under legal guardianship during the pendency case, so Mr. Palmer had to navigate between family law and guardianship law. He did a great job advocating for an outcome that met his client's best interests. We ended up reaching a settlement through mediation at a level that was acceptable to both sides. I would recommend his services in the areas of family law and guardianship."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I worked with John in the past and found him to be diligent, conscientious and personable. More recently, I referred friends to him for probate matters and sought assistance myself. My friends were very happy with his work, and I also found him to be knowledgeable and thorough in the area of wills and probate."
