Mr. Weeks was supposed to be the expert in estate planning and elder care, which is why we went to him for the will, trust and other elder issues. He was not at first helpful; he ran through everything and didn't seem to want to spend the time to explain anything. We finally told him we found him less than helpful, and then he was a little better. He never gave advice about medicare and nursing home issues, and he promised to look into the veteran benefits, but never did. We truly felt he wasn't interested in us. We felt we got a decent product, but that it was not necessarily taylored to our concerns. We recommend him only because he is the only one in the St. Charles area that is supposed to be certified in elder care issues.

Michael Weeks helped us create multiple complicated trusts. He was very thorough in his explanations and possible scenarios that we would not have thought about. We felt very confident in his expertise.

Mr. Weeks appears knowledgeable in some areas, but when his attorney expertise is actually needed, he falls painfully short. A sibling moved in with our parent and took emotion & financial advantage. The state provided my parent with an attorney, and although we met with this attorney and Weeks to discuss the issues, the scheduled meeting with ALL parties never occurred. When we pressed Mr. Weeks about rescheduling the conference, he said that we could meet, but it would cost us thousands of more dollars to continue. We were left helpless when we needed it most, and the abuse continues.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Weeks recently when my husband and I set up our wills, power of attorneys and health care directives. We had a lot of questions as we were very unfamiliar with the process. Mr. Weeks did an awesome job of answering all of those questions and making us feel comfortable. I have already recommended him to several of our friends and family members who want to start planning for the future.
