Robert W. Ramsdell

We first heard about Robert (Bob) from our financial advisor who gave us a copy of Bob's book "Estate Planning Overview" and suggested we read it to get some ideas about changes to our existing estate documents. If you do nothing else, we recommend you get copy of the book and you will soon see the d...epth of knowledge and experience Bob has about estate planning. Our first meeting with Bob took a few hours as he is very thorough in his questioning to determine what exactly we wanted and how best to achieve our goals. We found Bob to be very patient, friendly and courteous as he listened to us and provided detailed alternatives and remedies to various issues that concerned us. He promptly provided drafts of all estate documents as well as a letter explaining each document in detail for us to review and was very accessible in resolving any issues we had. After a few emails and calls the final documents were ready to sign. Here again Bob provided detailed instructions as to how to title each large asset, name the appropriate Trustees, and beneficiaries of various accounts and distribute the necessary documents to the proper individuals and/or organizations. We found Bob to be very passionate about estate planning and highly recommend him to anyone seeking professional guidance on these matters.

We highly recommend Robert to anyone needing an estate planning attorney. Our experience was stellar, and we have nothing but praise for him from our initial contact all the way through until the process was completed. Robert is an absolute expert and was able to guide us through the entire process o...f creating our trust with patience and wisdom (that comes from his years of experience). Before we met in person, he provided us with a copy of his information-packed (yet easy-to-read) guide to estate planning, which helped us begin to understand what documents we wanted to include in the trust. And he thoroughly answered all of our questions without making us feel ignorant. He was prompt in every communication we had, and the turn around time of the document preparation exceeded our expectations. We were also impressed by his simple "package style" fee system, which we found to be reasonable and affordable. I am so happy that we found Robert, and can rest well knowing our affairs are in order when the inevitable happens.

We hired Mr. Ramsdell on a recommendation from our accountant and we couldn't have been more pleased with his conduct, character and professional service. Bob listened carefully to our questions and issues, and he responded to every nuance of our trust, will and health care directives. Best of all..., when an issue came up that he wasn't certain about, he admitted that, did his research and came back with informed professional advice.

Bob provided excellent estate planning. With his experience, he's able to give great suggestions and advice for how to structure things and is very thorough in making sure you understand your documents and have your desired outcome(s) expressed in them. We put together a trust, living will, power of ...attorney, medical power of attorney, pour-over will, etc. Bob made sure I understood what my follow-on responsibilities were in organizing accounts, property, etc to retitle them under the trust and has always been available to answer question I might have even after the documents were drawn up. I would highly recommend Bob if you need assistance with your estate planning.

I would highly recommend Mr. Ramsdell as an attorney. We completed our estate planning through this office. I found the service to be highly professional, responsive, knowledgeable and produced confidence. He explains things carefully and is detail-oriented; exactly the qualities you want when plo...dding through the complicated and mind-boggling process of estate planning. He looked carefully through the rough draft and asked relevant questions pertaining to what we thought we had said in order to make sure our final wishes were accurately recorded. I would recommend this attorney to anyone.
