Victoria Ames is thoroughly amazing in every regard. I can't say enough for her unrivaled level of legal knowledge, fascinating legal, academic and high-level corporate experience. Her dedication to the core tenants and values of the Rule of Law are apparent in all that she does. Adding to this, Victoria is extremely passionate about her clients, their cases and pursuing the best possible outcome for them. She truly exemplifies what is best about a practitioner of the law on every level. You can't be in better hands or receive a better recommendation. Thank you again for the help. Gary

Victoria has provided phenomenonal representation for me. She has guided me through one of the most stressful times of my life. Her passion for elite representation and advocating for special needs children involved in custody cases, shines through and through. She has alleviated worry and stress with her excellent skills in family law. Her willingness to go the extra mile has earned my trust and hopes for my case. My situation is complicated, involving custody matters across state lines. Previously, I've attained numerous lawyers. My frustration and stress mounted with waiting for return calls and preparedness for court. Victoria has responded promptly by calling me back and replying to emails. Also, she is fearless with handling challenges. She is confident in her abilities and it shows. As you know, attempting to navigate the legal system is overwhelming. Victoria has directed me step by step and provided encouragement to me. I'm so thankful that I retained her services. She is by far the best attorney that has represented me. I highly recommend her counsel. Her knowledge, passion, and patience truly go above and beyond.

I met Victoria at a NAMI meeting and was immediately impressed with her knowledge and ability to present information so it can be easily understood by everyone. Victoria has the natural ability to evaluate information and provide valuable feedback based on needs. She has assisted me by providing legal guidance and assistance for my son who has schizophrenia. My son has struggled with taking his meds and has ended up in jail. She provided amazing support and guidance to help get him placed in a mental health program rather than staying in jail. She also wrote a letter to our HOA supporting the need for my son to stay in our home, when my neighbors wanted him evicted from the neighborhood. She is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to special needs. Her passion for people and as an attorney comes through in everything she does. I feel very blessed to have met Victoria and would highly recommend her.

We had Amanda complete a special needs trust for us in an emergency situation in July 2021. Ms. Sinclair was quick, professional, supportive and bent over backwards to ensure that our special needs trust was completed ASAP. She was a lifesaver! I cannot recommend her highly enough. As a special needs parent, she truly gets how to write a SNT. We plan on hiring her again in the future for our regular estate.

I highly recommend Ms. Sinclair.

Ms. Patterson is a true professional lawyer. I have used her services at least three times in the past 8 years. She was always pleasant to discuss my cases by walking me through the legal process and discussing my options. She always made herself available to sit down and go over the issues step by step and update me on a regular basis on the status of my cases. What I appreciate the most is that I always felt being protected when she is handling my cases. She really fights to get the issues settled to my best interest. In all three cases the issues were settled in my favor. Two of those were contract disputes and the third was a real state transaction worth $80,000. I saw her in real action through mediation sessions and let me tell you....she was a real aggressive lawyer fighting to the end for an acceptable resolution to my case. Her fees were extremely reasonable and she will always be my first choice to go to lawyer.

A few months ago I was in need of legal advice as my aunt had to be placed in a nursing home and I needed to handle her financial affairs. I reached out to Denise Jomarron Legal Group and couldn’t be happier. Denise was very kind, informative, and thorough. Thanks to her expertise, I received a Personal Services Support and Maintenance Agreement for my aunt. Denise and her team walked me through the whole process and they took care of the legalities efficiently and worry free for me. I strongly recommend and am very happy with the service I received from Denise Jomarron Legal Group. I would use her again in a heartbeat.

Amy Cross reviewed and analysed my Trust and conferred with me about my existing documents. She then assisted me with my estate planning.
She prepared and executed my Last Will, Durable Power of Attorney, Oregon Advance Directive, Burial Instructions, and Tangible Personal Property List.
She recommended a Texas Land Sale Contract for one of my homes, several P.O.D. accounts for checking and savings accounts, and she explained all the details of a family existing Trust and tax implementations . She advised the dissolution of the Trust since the death of my parents and many of the details
that involved in that process.
Amy was very professional and warm and explained every detail
of every transaction very clearly!
I would recommend Amy to anyone who is looking for an honest
and sincere attorney.
It was a pleasure working with her and I appreciated her kind delivery.

I have worked with Amy Cross since 2011 when she handled my divorce. Amy is understanding of any situation and very practical. She is reality based and will take the time to explain different options that are possible for a particular situation, and the best way to accomplish the outcome. Contacting her is never a problem as she is very responsive whether I email or call. I feel comfortable telling her confidential details and she's helping me start the process of drawing up my will.
Another benefit when working with Amy is that she has been in practice long enough to have made many valuable connections in the surrounding community. Amy was able to put me in touch with a financial planner during my divorce and a tax professional in my immediate area that would suit my needs.
Amy Cross is very trustworthy and I highly recommend her without reservation for any legal need of a personal or business nature.

I knew her partner, Edward, and so it was only natural that I hired Vienna to help me assist me in the sale of my house and our family business. I'm so glad I did. She is so patient and willing to work with us on every little detail. She gave us such great advice and save us so much in grief, headaches, and taxes. In the end, the transactions went smooth and we completed every thing we set out to do. Clients are well served by her representation.

I was in a bind. My dad was suffering dementia and I needed legal assistance to help take over his affairs. A friend referred me to Vienna to assist with creating a conservatorship. From the beginning, she was very compassionate and kind. She made me completely at ease and explain to me in very gentle manners all the steps I can take so that I can help become a conservator and take care of my father. Even after the case was over, she continue to make sure to follow up with me every month and checked up on me. I'm so so grateful that she was my attorney.

My mother passed away years ago. I was out of state and needed to hire an attorney to handle her estate. A friend referred me to Vienna. She handled the estate professionally, diligently, and with utmost professionalism. She was able to liquidate the house and artwork for top dollars and gave careful and prudent advice on how to save taxes on the transaction. I have since referred others to her.

Jordan delivered an incorporated entity to specification ahead of our 2-week transaction deadline. On this time-sensitive engagement, Jordan was highly responsive and on-point. He pulled together corporate, tax, and estate expertise to address our needs efficiently. Older firms would have scheduled 3 partners on long calls; Lindquist delivered on-time with a single point of contact.
Detailed requests (the proverbial brown M&M's) were almost all met accurately on first request, with nits remedied within hours of mention.

After a friend died suddenly, Mark helped so much to make sense of all the paperwork I found in the cottage. As executor of the estate, I was at my wits' end to find out how to proceed with probate.
Mark handled all the documents with the court. He was able to probe numerous pages to find critical financial information. He was extremely responsive to my calls, emails and faxes. And he continued to be right on top of details after the probate closed. I am totally pleased.

Both my husband and I are first-borns and were designated to settle the estates of our respective parents. Wendy not only helped us navigate the “legalese” of what needed to be done respectively and quickly but also helped us set up our own Trust. She even went so far to meet with our daughter (at our request) who was visiting from out of state which gave us peace of mind that she will be in good hands when our time comes.

I work with seniors in transition and on estate cases. I have worked with many different estate planning attorneys, and with Wendy on several cases. I have never seen an attorney who works so hard. She is absolutely committed to her clients, does what is right for them even at her own expense. When I ask her complicated questions she either knows the answer, or knows how to get it quickly. I cannot recommend Wendy strongly enough!

Rebecca gave my husband and I a thorough understanding of all of our options when it came to putting together a will and/or trust. She was so easy to understand and made us feel comfortable with any questions we had. We especially loved the family emergency card she gave us to put in our wallets. This makes us feel even more secure that if anything should happen to us, people will know we have children and who to get in touch with concerning their care as fast as possible. We have recommended Rebecca to friends, and would definitely do it again if we knew someone looking for help with estate planning documents!

I came to Vicki with an outdated will and living trust. After a friendly, warm question period, she outlined her plan. She emailed the will and trust to me within three days with the instruction to go over it, change any facts, check on name spelling and content. I emailed them back to her, as requested. The next meeting, a few days later, the will and trust were signed, witnessed and notarized. I feel the fee charged was fair and I am very comfortable with the realization that Ms. Rubin-Howton is my new lawyer.

I was referred to Meridith Green Bush by my realtor. I did not know her or her qualifications and was skeptical of retaining her. I had someone else in mind.

I needed a special attorney to handle a complex case involving probate, guardianship, sale of realestate, income tax and asset management. I literally searched google, asked family and friends for an attorney that could take care of all these matters for me and all roads led to lee. It took 2 years to resolve each and every issue but at the end of it all ... I prayed and thanked God I found him. He will always be strait with you, work hard to resolve an issue. He is very reasonably priced which surprised me because I had dealt with attorneys half his ability and paid much more. My best advice to any one reading this review to do your self a favor and give him a call. You have nothing to lose but everything to gain.

was first referred to Tara Cheever when my wife and I were looking for an Attorney who could educate and assist us in crafting a Living Trust. It was super important to us as an Aunt and Uncle to ensure that we effectively handed off, to the next generation of our family, the businesses and properties that we had created and acquired for them. Our experience with Tara during this process was enjoyable, enlightening and resulted in fulfilling all of our criteria.
Fast forward 3 years later and Tara has become my legal counsel for both my Art and Farm companies. Since then she has helped me maneuver a bad business partnership, create new business entities, purchase multiple unique properties, while providing ongoing legal consultation for other areas of need.
There is nothing more priceless to a small business than having excellent and affordable legal representation. Tara will continue to get my business and my referral.

We have no regrets.

Minerva Vazquez was invaluable in helping us get through a very difficult time. After my father passed away it was stressful and emotionally taxing. We had to grieve his loss, arrange funeral services, sort through all legal and financial matters related to his retirement, insurance and estate.
Although my father was a dedicated, hard-working man he did not have a will or trust prepared. This created a level of anxiety and uneasiness for my mother and other members of the family. We were able to sort through all other financial matters except for the will and trust. It was important to my mom that a will and trust be created in case anything should happen to her.
With my home being in North Carolina and my Mom’s in Miami, Minerva and staff went above and beyond to communicate and schedule a time to meet with us to finalize the will and trust. They were very responsive and thorough.
Minerva walked us through the process and answered our questions no matter how trivial. Her experience and knowledge gave my mom and I a sense of peace and confidence that things were taken care of.
We would not hesitate to refer others to this firm. We will continue to retain their services for years to come.

We requested Last Will and Testament, Durable Power of Attorney, Living Will and Health Care Surrogate legal documentation to be drafted based on our rather uncertain desires for eventual satisfaction of our personal final decisions.
Attorney Jacobs stipulated a fee, arranged a personal interview with us in quiet, comfortable office, and comperhensibly briefed us on the broad ramifications of end of life legal documentation and the decisions to be made by each of us. He followed the interview some days later in another informal meeting when our ideas were finalized and personalized in documents he later developed.
In the third and final session, again in a quiet, comfortable office, Attorney Jacobs explained in detail the documents put before us, introduced us to competent witnesses he had arranged to be present and guided us through each document, our approval of each document, the formal signing and witnessing of each document while responding objectively to any questions we offered.
As we would say in the Navy; Well Done, Attorney Jacobs!
We highly recommend Attorney Donald F. Jacobs to all needing legal counsel.
Signed: Linda L. Barnes; Captain James H. Barnes, U. S. Navy (Retired).

We have been told that no Will was left, so we knew we needed to talk to an attorney to help us with this process. On the recommendation of another law firm, I was put in contact with Mr. Struse. We spend an hour long Zoom conference call with Mr. Struse and we all felt confident that he was the correct attorney to speak to about our concerns and helping us navigate our next direction. He answered all our questions, listening patiently, giving us ethical / straight forward advise. We left the conversation with the knowledge of how probate works and knowing how we need / want to move forward. Thank you Mr. Struse so much for helping us, especially with the distance problem (Hawaii - Arizona) and having no Will in place. Mr. Stuse is extremely east to talk to, answers your questions, helps you understand the process explaining in plain English, and was genuinely empathetic to our situation. I also need to add, Andrea, his paralegal, was wonderful to talk to and did a fantastic job setting up our Zoom appointment and doing the intake of information before our appointment. I truly wish I could find a law firm like this in Hawaii.

I've used the services of Slosser Law Firm's, Timothy Struse, in the past when he deftly sorted out my deceased mother's property holdings and got my sister and I on track to transfer the property title. The property had been taken out of the Trust to be refinanced when my mother was still alive, but was mistakenly not put back in the Trust. So when it came time to make sure the remaining properties were in order to sell and sign off on the escrow documents with only one Trustee instead of two, hiring Timothy Struse again was a no-brainer. Timothy made the process easier and saved my sister and I a lot of time and effort. He's affordable, fast, pleasant and knows what he's doing. You can interview other attorneys like I did prior to hiring him the first time, but I guarantee you I am most happy with Timothy and can't recommend him highly enough.

Tim Struse handled our case of Trust settlement. My sister and I had been working with another lawyer for 6 months to obtain our rightful inheritance after the death of our father, but the trustee of my father's Trust (his second wife) chose to interpret the documents to give herself all the income from the Trust assets for life even though our father had made it clear in the last amendment he signed before his death that she was to receive a lump sum and his children were to receive the remainder. We were getting nowhere until we hired Tim Struse who promptly drew up a Trust Distribution Agreement which all parties felt was equitable. Throughout the process, Tim kept us informed of progress, answered all our emails (sometimes within minutes) and made us feel like we had a powerful ally. I would highly recommend Tim Struse to anyone with Trust or Estate problems.

I was rear-ended while I was driving. I was extremely shaken and was also injured. A friend then recommended Attorney Paloma to me to get through this. She said a lot of great things about her so I took it from there. I can't say enough about her concern, advice and expertise.

Megan Greene assisted me with my mother's estate after she passed away unexpectedly.
And amidst an already very somber situation, nothing was in order, nothing was prepared with regards to a will, and in order order to gather all of the necessary information, I found myself playing detective.
However, in all of the chaos, step by step, as more information was recovered, Megan managed to wrap up my mother's probate estate as quickly as she could (staying within the boundaries of the law) and rather neatly to add.
Communication was very important to me as well as I currently live abroad and Megan proved to be very quick, thorough, and patient with every response (as was her staff).
So, with no more loose ends, thanks to Megan, I can finally begin putting this dark chapter of my life to rest.
With all of that being said, I absolutely recommend Megan and the entire Greene & Greene firm/staff.
Thanks for everything Megan!

It seems unfathomable that an honest individual’s hard work and smart investment decisions can become their emotionally imprisoning liabilities. However, this is exactly what can result from the individual’s naivety and via an unfair “justice” system and I experienced it firsthand.
I found Doug’s website as a result and he and his staff's skill, compassion, and attention to detail gave me the assurance I needed in safeguarding my unprotected investments. Doug developed a protection plan tailored to my unique situation, significantly minimizing the threat exposure of my unprotected investments and increasing the likelihood of their availability to beneficiaries I select.
If you are fortunate enough to personally own any assets other than a homesteaded property and/or a retirement account, don’t take that ownership for granted. Instead, ensure your continual control of those assets by putting a solid protection strategy in place developed by the best there is- call Doug Lodmell.

Without a doubt if you are looking into purchasing an asset protection trust, Mr. Lodmell is your answer. As a professional in the healthcare industry, one is always unsure of all of the hidden land mines that one encounters on a daily basis. From the predatory attorneys, the employee's of your practice, the non stop governmental regulations, and the day to day risk of working on patients, asset protection is a must in this day and age I did a ton of research before deciding on choosing Mr. Lodmell. I too was skeptical on picking an attorney who lived in a different state, but after talking with Mr. Lodmell several times ,and personally hearing from several of his current clients, it was clear that I had found my asset protection attorney. Mr. Lodmell has always been there to take my phone calls, and too answer any questions that have arisen throughout the years. He is highly respected from not only his peers in the legal field, but in the healthcare field as well. The piece of mind that one has after obtaining an asset protection trust through Doug has been priceless, and should not be overlooked. Not having to look over your shoulder or constantly worrying about people trying to take what you have worked hard for during your career has been one of the most valuable features of his trusts.
Don't be fooled by people who are offering asset protection trusts that are lower in price. Remember, you get what you pay for.
I wanted a family insurance policy to protect my family ,so I only wanted the best. Doug is the best of the best, and I highly recommend him to my fellow healthcare providers.

What a Trusts Lawyer Can Do for You
A trusts lawyer specializes in creating and managing trusts, which are legal entities that allow individuals to transfer assets to beneficiaries while maintaining control over how and when those assets are distributed. Trusts are used for estate planning, asset protection, tax planning, and ensuring the financial security of loved ones. Trusts lawyers help clients choose the right type of trust for their needs, draft trust documents, and advise on the administration and management of trusts.
Whether you're planning to pass on your assets to your heirs, protect your wealth from creditors, or provide for a disabled family member, a trusts lawyer can help you establish a trust that meets your financial and personal goals.
When Should I Hire a Trusts Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a trusts lawyer in various situations, particularly when you're planning for the future distribution of your assets or protecting your wealth. Common reasons to hire a trusts lawyer include:
- Estate planning: If you want to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes, a lawyer can help you create a revocable or irrevocable trust to avoid probate and provide for your heirs.
- Asset protection: If you want to protect your assets from creditors, lawsuits, or potential future liabilities, a lawyer can help you establish a trust to shield your wealth.
- Special needs planning: If you have a disabled family member, a lawyer can create a special needs trust to provide for their care without affecting their eligibility for government benefits.
- Tax planning: If you're looking to minimize estate taxes or manage tax liabilities, a lawyer can help you create tax-advantageous trusts, such as a credit shelter trust or charitable remainder trust.
- Charitable giving: If you want to leave a legacy through charitable donations, a lawyer can help you set up a charitable trust to ensure your donations are managed according to your wishes.
- Business succession planning: If you own a business and want to ensure a smooth transition of ownership, a lawyer can help you establish a trust to pass the business on to your heirs or chosen successors.
Hiring a trusts lawyer early in the estate planning process ensures that your assets are protected and your wishes are clearly documented, reducing the chances of disputes after your death.
What Does a Trusts Lawyer Do?
A trusts lawyer provides a variety of legal services to help individuals create, manage, and administer trusts. Their responsibilities often include:
- Drafting trust documents: Preparing the legal documents needed to create the trust, ensuring it is tailored to your specific goals and complies with state and federal laws.
- Choosing the right type of trust: Assisting clients in selecting the most appropriate type of trust for their needs, whether it's a revocable trust, irrevocable trust, living trust, or special needs trust.
- Trust administration: Guiding trustees through their legal responsibilities, including managing assets, making distributions to beneficiaries, and filing tax returns.
- Modifying or terminating trusts: Helping modify or terminate trusts if circumstances change, such as changes in tax laws, family situations, or personal preferences.
- Protecting beneficiaries' interests: Structuring trusts to protect the interests of beneficiaries, especially if there are concerns about financial management, disability, or dependency issues.
- Minimizing estate taxes: Assisting clients in structuring their trusts to minimize or avoid estate taxes, ensuring more of the estate passes to beneficiaries.
- Handling disputes: Mediating or representing clients in court if disputes arise among beneficiaries or between trustees and beneficiaries.
How Are Trusts Lawyers Paid?
Trusts lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the trust and the type of legal work involved. Common payment methods include:
- Flat fee: For drafting basic trusts, such as revocable living trusts or special needs trusts, many lawyers charge a flat fee. This can range from $1,000 to $5,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the trust.
- Hourly rate: For more complex trust planning, ongoing trust administration, or resolving disputes, some lawyers charge by the hour. Hourly rates typically range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Retainer: For long-term trust administration or complex estate planning cases, some lawyers may require a retainer, an upfront payment that covers ongoing services.
- Contingency fee (rare): In rare cases, particularly in disputes involving the administration of a trust, lawyers may work on a contingency fee basis, getting paid only if they successfully recover funds or resolve a legal dispute in your favor.
Always discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand the total cost of services.
How Much Does a Trusts Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a trusts lawyer depends on the complexity of the trust, the lawyer’s experience, and the fee structure. General cost estimates include:
- Basic trust creation: For simple trusts, such as revocable living trusts, fees may range from $1,000 to $3,000.
- Complex trust creation: For sophisticated estate plans involving multiple trusts, tax planning strategies, or special needs considerations, legal fees may range from $5,000 to $10,000 or more.
- Trust administration: If you are serving as a trustee and need ongoing legal advice, hourly rates for trust administration can range from $150 to $500 or more.
- Dispute resolution: Costs for litigation or mediation in trust disputes may range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
Be sure to get a detailed cost estimate from your lawyer during the consultation to ensure the services fit within your budget.
Top Questions to Ask a Trusts Lawyer
Before hiring a trusts lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with creating trusts?
Ensure the lawyer has experience drafting trusts and managing trust administration for clients with similar goals or asset structures. -
What types of trusts do you recommend for my situation?
Ask the lawyer to explain the different types of trusts available and which ones best suit your needs. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify the fee structure and request an estimate of the total cost. -
What are the tax implications of the trust?
Ensure the lawyer can explain how the trust will affect your taxes and strategies to minimize tax liability. -
How long will it take to set up the trust?
Ask for a timeline for creating and finalizing the trust documents. -
Will you handle the trust administration?
If ongoing management is required, inquire whether the lawyer will assist with trust administration or if you'll need a separate trustee. -
Can you help resolve disputes if they arise?
Ask about the lawyer's experience in resolving trust disputes.
How to Check the Credibility of a Trusts Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable trusts lawyer, take the following steps:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and has no disciplinary actions.
- Look for trust law experience: Review their website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in estate planning and trusts.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for feedback on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google.
- Ask for references: Request references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
- Check for certifications: Look for certifications such as Certified Estate Planning Law Specialist (EPLS) or memberships in organizations like the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys (AAEPA).
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a trusts lawyer, bring the following:
- List of assets: Prepare a list of all your assets, including real estate, bank accounts, investments, retirement accounts, and personal property.
- List of beneficiaries: Provide names and contact information of individuals or organizations you want to name as beneficiaries.
- Existing estate planning documents: Bring copies of any existing wills, trusts, or other estate planning documents.
- Financial information: Bring financial statements, tax returns, and other relevant financial documentation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions about the trust creation process, fees, and how the trust will protect your assets and beneficiaries.
- Goals for the trust: Clearly outline your objectives, such as asset protection, tax minimization, or provisions for beneficiaries, so the lawyer can tailor the trust to your needs.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation effectively and receive the best possible legal advice for creating and managing your trust.
