He'a a great listener with a solid understanding of his subject matter, a thoroughly pleasant personality a...nd he produced a meticulous and highly professional final product. He presented all our options in a very clear manner, guided us through the various options that worked best for our family and we now have a great binder containing all our important information in one place.

Family Estate Planning

Len is fantastic!. You should be honored and feel fortunate to have found him. He recently walked myself and my parents through separate but similar estate plans and now we have the confidence going forward that our upon our passing, our financial affairs will be easily handled for the betterment ...of our remaining family. Len's calm demeanor and genuine personality make the subject matter of finances after death seem not so grim to discuss. It's important work and Len handles it perfectly. Thank you Sir!

Estate planner recommendation

This was our best experience thus far for getting great legal advice. Len is an extremely knowledgeable and trusted consultant. Len has an unmatched level of professionalism. Estate planning can be a cumbersome, confusing and lengthy process. Len made things look easy and provided undivided atten...tion to me and my wife. Thank you Len for a great service!

Consummate Professional

Len was fantastic! My wife and I are transplants from the midwest and we needed a lawyer to prepare our estate planning in case the unthinkable were to happen. Len took the time to explain our options in detail. He also prepared our documents with meticulous detail in short order. We couldn't be ...happier with the quality of his work and feel much more prepared for our future. I highly recommend Len for all your estate planning needs.

Recommended Estate Planner for Medical Professionals

Sound Estate Planning came highly recommended by many professionals that I’ve worked with. Since I am in a profession with high risk patients, I needed to incorporate asset protection into my estate planning. Len meticulously customized a well thought out estate plan for my family that addressed bo...th present and future generations’ protection. Len’s level of service and fund of knowledge is exemplary. He was efficient and very meticulous in constructing an estate plan that fit our needs. We want to thank Len for making this normally onerous task very easy for us and for being readily assessable during and well after the process. We sleep better knowing that we have an estate plan that makes sense and actually understand. Now I can concentrate on taking care of my patients knowing that my family is well protected. Thank you, Len!

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
