Estate Planning

Chad was completely professional, providing appropriate guidance as we reworked the details of my will. He suggested a number of valuable options, several of which were included in the final document. As indicated above, he was an excellent resource. Of equal importance to those traits he has ou...tstanding interpersonal skills. On my recommendation several friends have engaged him to update their personal records.

Chad Horner

Chad Horner has provided me and my family legal advise for many years. His expertise and knowledge is without question. He has helped me with estate planning, a will and a pre nuptial agreement as well as general overall legal advise on issues which arise in our daily lives. I am pleased to reco...mmend Chad to all of my family and friends and look forward to meeting with him again myself to update my estate plans. He is sincerely interested in his clients and has always made me feel that my needs are his number one priority at the time.

Can't say enough good things

Unfortunately, I have had the need to work with numerous lawyers over the years and I can say without hesitation that Chad is the best! He is the antithesis of the stereotypical attorney. He truly is trustworthy, responsive, kind, thoughtful, fair, and highly knowledgeable in his areas of specialty....

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.
