Family Trust

We were referred to Len and company by a good friend who couldn't say enough nice things about their experience, and we were definitely not disappointed. Len did an excellent job of breaking down complex financial and legal issues for us, putting topics and scenarios into simple relationship to on...e another, allowing us for the first time to have a truly solid picture of tax, inheritance, and legal issues we hadn't previously known about or considered. Len and team made each and every step of the process of setting up our trust clear and simple, and they were able to work with our hectic schedules. For those setting up their first family trusts or other estate planning needs, feel confident that Len and team can help you achieve what you need in a no-nonsense and clear manner with incredibly reasonable fees. Finally, if you're a left hander, ask him for a couple of his pens as he's found the non smudge left handed pen we've all been looking for.

Outstanding Guidance and Service

We were fortunate to find Sound Estate Planning. What an experience with a clearly knowledgeable attorney and staff. Their attention to our questions and concerns was immediately evident with clearly articulated responses and suggestions to accommodate our wishes. Len and staff provided timely commun...ications throughout the planning process despite the coronavirus lockdown. We especially appreciated a video conference that included our personal representatives to make sure we were had a clear understanding about our roles in executing our estate plan. Without hesitation, we highly recommend the services of Sound Estate Planning.

My wife & I were referred to Len and his incredible staff. And we are very glad we were. Professional, friendly, knowledgeable and explains this process in a way you can understand.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
