I remain grateful for my dentist’s enthusiastic recommendation to attorney Gary Powell for estate planning, an important item that had remained on my to-do-list for years. I was confident Gary would be competent and professional. Still, I’m delighted he absolutely exceeded my expectations! From my first of many phone calls to many e-mail exchanges to the final signing of my estate plan, Gary provided informative and sound guidance. Equally important, he was always extremely patient with my multitude of questions and just as patiently explained legal terms and concepts in a way that was easily understood. Gary was clearly committed to constructing an estate plan that was right for me. I am eternally grateful for his estate planning expertise, kind professionalism, and very reasonable cost. I will continue to enthusiastically refer Gary to family and friends for all of their estate planning needs! Consistent with his online profile, “Fairness and a commitment to providing his clients with honest, conscientious representation are the qualities that drive Attorney Gary Powell to excel in his legal career.”

Gary Powell was cordial and professional in assisting us with Estate Planning. He provided sound advice in areas that we had not thought about. My spouse works with many attorneys and was aware of his reputation as a trusted professional. Highly recommended.

When my partner and I decided to formalize our estate planning and establish a trust we contacted several lawyers and found a wide range in prices. Gary was recommended by a good friend and his rate was very reasonable. He offered all of the same services as lawyers charging twice as much. We met with him and found him to be knowledgeable, answering all of our questions in language we could understand. He clearly outlined the steps needed to create the trust and was always available when we had questions about the drafts. We ended up with exactly what we were looking for and were very happy with Gary's professionalism. I would highly recommend Gary to anyone looking for estate planning, he went above and beyond our expectations.

After a bad experience with a lawyer previous to meeting Gary, it was extremely refreshing to work with someone so knowledgeable and responsive. Gary is a straight-forward, friendly guy who really knows his stuff. I worked with him on completing a modification to my grandmother's living trust, as well as creating a pour-over will. His fees were very competitive at $250/hr, and I think very cheap relative to his experience. Our total cost was only $300, which is half what my previous lawyer wanted to charge, and I'm sure well below most other lawyers. He explained things very clearly and was extremely thorough. He also completed everything in a day or two. I couldn't ask for a better experience and I enthusiastically recommend him.

Gary is straight-forward and thoughtful. My husband and I have worked with him over a long period of time and have complete confidence in his handling of our estate.

We met Gary after being referred by trusted friends when we needed to establish an estate plan. He was personable, honest and very knowledgeable of the law and its (potential) impact on our family. Gary worked quickly to put together our documents prior to my husband's deployment and explained the process thoroughly. We would certainly recommend him to others and are glad to have him in our network of trusted professionals.

I love that Gary answers his own phone! So, I know I can get a response from him timely. Attitude and courtesy accompany his thorough knowledge of my legal needs and at a fair price.

Very pleased with the entire experience. Gary guided me through the process and developed an estate plan that precisely met my needs.
