I was referred to Wendell when it was discovered that a portion of my late husband's estate required opening a probate case. I could not be more pleased with the experience I received working with Wendell and his staff. The details of navigating a probate case were fully explained from the beginning to the end of the case and Wendell was always supportive and immediately responsive to my questions. He kept me informed concerning case progress and was extremely expeditious completing my case in approximately five months. Wendell and his team are knowledgeable, understanding, and thoroughly enjoyable to work with. I intend to hire them to draw up my Will and would utilize their expertise again if necessary.

Mr. Wendell Belknap has been handling legal documents such as Last Will and Testament for my wife and me for many years. When my wife passed away last year, I asked Wendell for help with settling an IRA account that my wife had forgotten to link to a beneficiary. He was immediately helpful, explaining the various options available. After we selected probate as most appropriate, he carefully explained all aspects of the process, guiding me through how to get the personal representative class, summarizing assets, and formal notification (listing in local papers) for creditors, which he took care of. He referred me to another attorney who specialized in estates to help with determining the value of the estate. Additionally, Wendell personally handled communications with the IRA administrators regarding the probated estate so that appropriate paperwork would be completed. Wendell was always available for my questions and was clearly concerned that the process should be as easy and painless as possible. While probate can take a long time, and this one did, I was never concerned with the process knowing that Wendell was watching it every step of the way. I would highly recommend Wendell as your first contact lawyer.

Wendell is an excellent choice for my uncontested divorce. From start to finish it was under 2 weeks! He was not only kind and caring but also knowledgeable and thorough. His secretary is also caring and they make a great team. I highly recommend Wendell for your Attorney! If ever I am in need I will be calling on him again.

Wendall handled our case with knowledge and experience. Wendall was great in communicating each step of the process. We had another attorney that ended up dropping the case that is when we retained Wendall and he got us a full settlement for a car accident.

40 years experience as an insurance claims representative did not prepare me for what I encountered as a first time personal representative for the estate of a close friend. Worse, I am not very computer literate or capable when it comes to modern technology. Fortunately Wendell Belknap became my attorney and got me through the estate closing process I could not have handled without his expertise. I have dealt with many attorneys during my claims career but Wendell is unique and rates at the top. He is seemingly always available, very personal. provided great guidance and counsel and got results in a very timely manner. I cannot say enough good things about him and his assistant Lori. They form a great team. They did a great job at a very reasonable cost with a minimal amount of stress for me.

My dad hired him years ago for his will and was happy. I went to him for Power of Attorney,Personal Representative, and the Probate nightmare and will be going back to do my will soon. Very easy to work with and keeps you up to date. He helped me understand my Personal Representative responsibilities and the Probate process. Lori who is the in office Notary Public is great as well. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a lawyer in his area of practice.

Wendell and his staff were very helpfull every step of the way. I was never caught off guard with any issues. He provided a timeline and guided us through the entire process. Also, his rates were reasonable and explained to us before hand. We will not hesitate to use his office in the future or to recommend him to others.

Wendell was very helpful in getting me through 2 complicated probates which had to run at the same time. He and his staff were very thoughtful and knowledgeable and accomplished all in a shorter time than we expected. I was 200 miles away and we were able to do most items by phone, text and fax, This was a real blessing as this reduced my trips to Oregon City saving time, money and stress. I highly recommend his practice

Wendell is an awesome lawyer. He is professional without being stuffy. He handled my surprise divorce with care. He is an amazing person. Anyone will be happy and satisfied with Wendell on your side. Also Lori in the front office is super!

Wendell handled my Moms estate probate after it was botched by another attorney. He took over and made a difficult experience much easier. Thanks to him things moved quickly and efficiently and he educated me about a lot of legalities that made my part of the process much easier.

I was in need of a divorce lawyer and was overwhelmed by the cost of a divorce and fear of what was going to happen. Wendell was a godsend and did an amazing job. It's obvious he truly cares . In my case he went out of his way by allowing my husband and I to sit with him and work out the wording in the judgement. Once we all agreed he had us sign papers in his office and a week later we received confirmation the divorce was final. I can't say enough good things about Wendell. He's terrific.

Looking for a lawyer, in my opinion, is very overwhelming. I found Wendell Belknap online based on his reviews and from how he portrayed himself as an honest country lawyer. Well let me tell you, he is exactly that. He is a 5 star lawyer that is for sure. When I called Mr. Belknap, he had asked me to explain briefly the car accident, injuries I sustained and what the car insurance company offered as settlement. After this consultation, Mr. Belnap stated he would be more than happy to represent me, but didn't feel that it would be in my best interest to hire him as the cost offset of my claim and hiring him would not be in my favor. As I was having difficulty getting a fair settlement, Mr. Belknap helped me with my "wording" on what I wanted as settlement. I did as he suggested and because of Mr. Belknap's advice, the car insurance company agreed to a settlement that was $4,000 more than what they had originally offered me. Mr. Belknap did this for me at no financial gain to himself, and he had never met me for this. Mr. Belknap gives lawyers a "good name".
