We worked with Shannon and Laura for family estate matters. Both of us consider ourselves lucky to have been able to have the two of them to consult with and guide us. Shannon and Laura made sure that we understood and answered all of our numerous questions in the process. Our experience, overall, was outstanding. We highly recommend the firm and particularly these two.

My wife and I (we are in our 30's) came in to work with Brett Callahan for filling out our will and estate planning. We came in to plan ahead, to make sure our son was in the best possible situation if something were to happen to us. Not an easy possibility to face or plan for. Brett made it so much easier and smoother than we could have ever imagined. From start to finish, he was honest and sympathetic while providing a great sense of humor along the way. If this is something you have been considering and are a little hesitant about, rest assured that you are in extremely capable hands with Brett. Our son is now protected and we have peace of mind about it all thanks to Brett.

I have found this office to be very helpful in providing me with very useful information to care for my aging mother several years ago. Since then, I have used their services to update my own documents such as will, power of attorney and have found the experience to be very clear and easy. Very knowledgeable and friendly people.

Poor communication, i asked symple requests again and again waited until to late for my situation gave me the runaround and excuses that didn't fit what was being asked, can only do cookie cutter law no complex or different law situation only simple estate nothing else , not what i asked for, or represented

Garvin Reiter is an excellent lawyer. I observed his talent for working with older adults when he assisted both my father getting on Medicaid and then working with my mother to see her papers were in order. He is a good listener and astute at finding the right solution for the individual he is assisting. I have switched now from my past lawyer to Mr. Reiter.

Friendly staff, and great advice on estate planning!

my parents urgently needed an estate plan done with a will a trust and power of attorney. Megan Fuhrer our assigned elder care lawyer helped guide us through this process with grace trust and dignity, even travelling to my parents assisted facility so I did not have to miss work for signing documents. I am truly appreciative to Megan for all she has done for my family. Thank you so much!

Our family was referred to Garvin Reiter through a Kaiser social worker -- she felt we should know about Elder Law regarding future healthcare needs. Garvin was so very helpful - patiently answered our questions and gave us very practical advice. We met with him twice to execute Advance Directives and Powers of Attorney. He also referred us to a CPA whose advice has saved us money. We highly recommend Garvin for his personable manner as well as his expertise regarding the legal needs of an aging population.

Darin Dooley listened attentively to our questions and issues and offered excellent advice.

I cannot say enough about my attorney Brett Callahan. He is an incredibly caring, kind and ethical human being. My legal needs came about due to my Mother and Grandmother dying within one week of each other, and my upbringing in an incredibly dysfunctional family. I knew that I did not want to deal with either of my siblings directly so I retained Brett. Brett was thorough, compassionate, and also a great strategyzer. While navigating probate issues, he had to deal with family members that were irrational, borderline, and narcissistic in their behaviors. I can never thank Brett and Wiki enough for their help. They both stood in the gap for me and I did not have to have any direct contact with my family. Brett also had some very creative ideas that helped bring this to a resolution. I will be forever grateful. Leasia Cleary, LCSW

My life was turned upside down when my wife was diagnosed with three concurrent terminal illnesses. However, since none of the three were immediately life-threatening, we were facing a potentially long term of around the clock health and residential care. While we are relatively financially secure for normal emergencies, few people are prepared for a monthly cost health exceeding $13,000. Medicare would run out after 100 days of skilled nursing, and it appeared that Medicaid was in our near future. I’m certain most of us delay thoughts and preparation for elder care needs, trusts, burial plans and expenses, wills, powers of attorney, etc. I know we did. Fortunately I was told by someone who works in elder care that I needed an attorney as soon as possible. I was given an appointment within days and walked away from that first meeting realizing how much I didn’t know, and even worse, knowing how many potentially devastating errors I would have made without knowledgeable legal advice. I am now more confident in my abilities to deal with my wife’s health care needs and in the ways in which we have positioned ourselves for the future. I recommend the services of Nay & Friedenberg without reservation.
