Hire Jason Hanna

I went to Jason with property/financial issues involving my aging sister with Alzheimer's. Jason provided many different options to assist me with her property, finances, Will, POA, etc. His knowledge and ability to explain in layman's terms is superb. He was always so patient, kind, helpful, and too...k the time to explain everything. After completing many documents for my sister, my wife and I returned to Jason for Wills, POA, Medical Directives, etc. for us and again were more than pleased and thankful for his service.

Responsive, knowledgeable and thorough.

I worked with Jason setting up several trust funds and found him to be extremely knowledgeable and always responded promptly to my emails or telephone calls. I referred him to several friends who also found him to be pleasant, responsive, and knowledgeable. Jason is someone who you can put your tru...st and faith in to get the job done.

Estate Prep

My wife and I used Jason to prepare our Will and all ancillary documents as part of our estate planning. He was very responsive to our requests and thorough and timely in answering all the questions we had. He has also been great with follow up questions after the fact and I don't have any hesitation... referring others to him. We would definitely recommend considering Jason for all your estate planning needs!

DOWN-TO-EARTH AND ACCOMMODATING

The Bond Law Firm prepared my parent's Will years ago. The Will was placed in a safe place and pretty much forgotten for approximately twenty years as life went on. Then things began to fall apart. Mama became terminally ill and passed away. Before Dad had a chance to probate mom's will,... he had an accident and broke his hip. As we all know hip replacements at 90 yrs. of age don't always have happy endings. Just nine months after Mom passed, my dad was gone too. During the time before my father's passing, I was in a quandary regarding what needed to be done since I had little experience in probating a will. My dad was over wrought with concern for my special needs brother's future. After talking to Dad we decided that perhaps a Trust would be the best way to go. I dug out the Will to see who had prepared his Will and gave The Bond Law Firm a call. They were so empathetic to my family's needs. They talked with us; not down to us; they explained and listened to our concerns and needs. Jason and his team gave me peace of mind during one of the most difficult times in my life; they were there for me not only as professionals but as friends as well. Jason and his team worked like a well syncrinized machine to get a difficult task completed expeditiously whichI know gave my dad peace of mind in the last days of his life. I will always be grateful for all they did to help in getting our legal affairs in order during this horrendous time. Thank you Jason, Less, Jeff, Mr. Bond, and staff for a job well done!

Professional and Hardworking along with compassion

I am Lasundra M and a proud client of Jason Hanna's. He successfully updated and prepared a Will for me and went beyond the "Call of Duty" like none other to make sure any questions or doubts were put to rest. My granddaughter worked with him first with a Legal Issue and was impressed with his posit...ive attitude, open door policy and dedication to please his clients. After her first meeting she came back and told me so I hired him for my legal situation and I was just as impressed. Some are good, others are better and a few are best and he is among the later among the best. My granddaughter referred me to him and now I refer him to others. Thank you. Lasundra M

He commands a broad range of legal knowledge acquired through a persistent pursuit of learning in multiple fields. Since our entry into the practice of law, I have kept in regular contact with Jason.

"Mr. Hanna is the rare combination of a people person and legal technician. He makes people comfortable almost immediately, and can explain both the positive and negative aspects of estate planning choices. His analysis is balanced, with the needs of his client informing his advice rather than just what is expedient. I would recommend Mr. Hanna to a friend or family member who had need of his expertise."
