Good service

The tender years doctrine is a legal principle in family law since the late 19th century. In common law, it presumes that during a child's "tender" years (generally regarded as the age of four and under), the mother should have custody of the child. The doctrine often arises in divorce proceedings.

Asked them a question on their website and submitted due to my buyer backing out, and wondered if I had a case as a purchase agreement had been signed. No return call, no email, nothing. If I ever need a lawyer again, I definitely won't be using them. Their website does say real estate.

They are very easy to work with evan during this Covid 19 pandemic.

Wayne Gilbert is fantastic! Honest, fair, incredibly knowledgeable. Would call him again, in a heartbeat!

When my mother passed in Dec 2018, I was forced to find an estate attorney for the first time in my life to help my brother and I through probate court. I went to a local Facebook neighbors’ group to ask for recommendations. One reply stood out for Suzanne Kvas in Eagan at Lutter, Gilbert & Kvas. It was from an employee of Suzanne’s, but it was clear that this recommendation was not self-serving but said great personal things about Suzanne. I looked Suzanne up on the web, and just judging a book by the cover, she looked like a nice, genuine person I could trust. So, I contacted Suzanne, and had an initial consolation, which was great and relieved a multitude of fears I had about the probate and court process. The unsupervised probate was going to be much easier, much less scary, and not need any in court appearances. Not only was Suzanne personable and easy to talk to, but I felt very confident she knew what she was talking about, and that this would be pretty easy process relatively speaking. She kept me updating about all processes at the county court, and sent me documents to review and sign, asking if I had any questions. With only needing to meet in person once, we wrapped up my mom's probate process in about 4 months, mainly over email with PDF attachments, signatures, and scanning them back into PDFs. Suzanne's costs were close to what she predicted in the beginning, and generally reasonable compared to lawyer fee's in general. She is a true expert in handing estate, so I trust her. This process also made me feel comfortable enough that I decided this was also my path forward to finally setting up my own estate documents. Suzanne helped me draft a will, and power of attorney, a health care directive, and a transfer title of death for my house. This process was made very easy and was completed in just one in-person meeting. I am now confident that my estate in finally in order at the age of 43 and I can rest easier knowing things will be much easier for my relatives and to my wishes, in case anything happens. That peace of mind is priceless. Feel confident to call upon Suzanne to help you with any estate lawyer needs.
