This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly Recommend

We had an excellent experience working with this estate planning attorney. He helped us set up a trust, and his knowledge and attention to detail gave us real peace of mind. He is not only extremely knowledgeable but also incredibly kind and patient throughout the process. His support staff were equa...lly genuine, kind, and friendly, making the entire experience smooth and reassuring.

Very professional and very thorough.

Jason has been a great attorney to work with. Our first contact was a few years ago when he put together our personal wills and estate documents. Fast forward to 2025 and we needed significant updates. We went back to Jason and it's been a pain-free experience while dealing with some complicated issu...es. He clearly knows his business well. He addressed all our questions immediately with no need to spend additional time researching. Of particular note has been his initiative in adding particularly valuable insight to our estate documents that could significantly simplify how our estate is ultimately handled. Most of all, it's clear that his first concern has been the protection of our estate and making sure that it is set up exactly the way we want it. We will certainly continue dealing with Jason whenever the need arises.

An Excellent and Super Nice Estate Planning Attorney

I moved to Idaho from another state (just south of Boise) and I didn't want my previous home state to have their claws in any aspect of my estate. My wife and I met with Jason and we really likes him from the outset. Very kind, humble, pleasant and truly knowledgeable. He was able to update our 20... year old trust so that everything would be settled in Idaho, we would avoid probate, and our family and health directives were changed as a result of our kids now being grown adults. He and his staff are super professional, and he completed our work promptly. I've referred him and his firm to others, and they really loved working with him as well. I highly recommend Jason Gray and the team at Pinnacle.

A great attorney!

Jason is a true professional. He’s helped me with my personal will and I was so impressed I referred my mom and my brother to him. He takes the time to listen to the client’s needs and provides excellent insights. Finally, he and his team are simply nice people. I strongly recommend Jason and hi...s team for any estate planning needs you might have.

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.
