You shouldn't go anywhere else!

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. Over the top customer service and tips that really helped us, from his many years guiding clients. We are very glad we ...worked with Lenard and his staff. You really should not go anywhere else if you want it done well and in a way that makes you feel glad you did.

Good experience

Len assisted me by preparing my will, financial power of attorney and health care power of attorney. He was thorough, prepared and professional, as were his staff. I would refer anyone to them.

Effortless Estate Planning

My husband and I hired Leonard Hagen for estate planning. From the initial visit, Leonard demonstrated a thorough knowledge of the law. In his personable manner, he informed and educated us into making decisions right for our situation.

Exceptional Service, highly recommend Len

We are extremely grateful to our friends for recommending their attorney Leonard Hagen for our estate planning needs. In our initial visit with Len it was clear that we were in good hands. We had an old trust that needed to be revised. What we came away with was a new trust that gave us peace of m...ind that will cover the next chapter of our lives and knowing that our family would be in good hands. Len is extremely knowledgable, professional and caring. In our last meeting our sons were asked to be present as he went over the finalized trust and they appreciated being informed. We sincerely thank Len and his staff for all they did for us.

Excellent professional work product

My wife and I want to provide a very positive and excellent professional rating and recommendation for Len and his office for their total Estate Planning Document package. We had Len do a complete review and rewrite of our previous Estate document package with a significant level of sophistication, ...complexity and multiple Trusts. We both have worked professionally with international law firms and found Len to be extremely competent and qualified. His work product was excellent and precisely met our unique needs and requirements. In addition, he provides a total complete package of services and supporting administration including internet vault storage of the documents and separate access for Health Care Directives.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
