Patrick Michael Hanis

My husband and I needed to write new wills because the previous lawyer really botched things. We met with Pat and found that he was a really good listener and very knowledgeable about how to accomplish what we needed to put our estate in order. We just signed our paperwork and what a relief to have t...his all done. I’m confident in the work and would recommend Pat to anyone needing this type of work done!

I have known Pat for many years through various community connections and respect his advise immensely. I found the need to update my estate planning to include a Special Needs Trust. Patrick's experience and knowledge was able to put all the needed details in order. His assistant Steven was through ...in setting appointments and follow up.

Patrick came from a referral from our financial advisor. We wanted a solid estate planning attorney to help us get our affairs in order. What we got was a solid professional, a great listener who asked great questions and someone who provided very clear and effective education about our options and t...he process. Highly recommend his services.

Patrick was both friendly and professional at the same time. I hired him to prepare an updated will, as well as all of the modern powers of attorney. The process was simple, and he did a great job of explaining not only the purpose of each document, but the what's important about each ("in this one... you're giving someone else the power to do X, Y, and Z, but not A or B"). He gave practical, useful information, and he did not try to sell me anything I don't need (e.g. as a trust). I selected Patrick because my sister said she had a great experience working with him, and (while I hate to admit a sibling is right) she was right. I would recommend him without reservation.

I have had very little interactions with lawyers over the years, and was at a point where I needed to setup a will, and Patrick and his staff were very very helpful! It was a simple easy process, requiring only two meetings and a few email exchanges. Patrick answered all my questions very well, a...nd he asked me pertinent questions and seemed to have a good understanding and appreciation of my situation, and offered me excellent recommendations and advice. I would definitely recommend him if you need any legal assistance, and I will definitely contact him the next time I need any legal help..
