Dan did a great job, handling the first part of our trust online and finishing with the convenience in our home. Dan handled the process within a short specified time.
The process was quick and easy!

Dan helped me with my will and trust. I found him to be very friendly and knowledgeable. He's detail oriented and is great at explaining everything. He's also mobile and can come to you if necessary. Apart from being an Attorney, he is also a Notary and helped me with that too. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Powell is highly knowledgeable and truly transparent, a rare combo these days. He made the intricacies of our will and trust readily understandable and gave us a great deal compared to competing quotes we got for similar work. It was his communication style and the humanity with which he approaches an uncomfortable conversation that really won me over. Highly recommended.

I have had the good fortune of knowing Dan Powell for about five years, both personally and professionally. He has always demonstrated professionalism in his knowledge of estate planning, while also conveying attributes I consider to be equally-valuable: honesty, integrity, and ethics, all while maintaining a healthy sense of humor (which I appreciate!) I would highly recommend Dan to anyone in need of professional estate planning services!

As someone who helps the senior community for a living, I am always running across clients that need an estate plan or need their current trust updated. I always feel 100% comfortable referring Mr. Powell. He has always been a very thorough and kind professional to all of my clients that I have referred to him. They always are very complementary about him, his services and his rates. Just a good guy who is an estate attorney and can help with very important things. Give him a call.
