I can’t say enough good about Brian. Brian helped us with a petition to sell in lieu of partition case. Usually trust and lawyer aren’t used in the same sentence but in this case it is. We trust this lawyer. He’s honest, reliable and on top of his game. He an expert in estate law, knows the players and his advice is sound. He’s aims to solve issue quickly rather than drag them out unnecessarily like other lawyers do. Every time we’ve needed him, he is ALWAYS been there. He responds quickly to phone calls or email. His experience and wisdom have saved us a ton of money. On top of that he’s just a really nice guy and easy to talk to.
Dealing with a sensitive elder-care issue before meeting Brian was scary, frustrating, and ineffective. Once I engaged Brian to assist things became a lot better. His expertise with the law and recommendations on viable-options really helped us develop a course of action that worked for everyone. But more than that, his empathetic approach kept us calm and confident thing would be ok.
While I have never been a Guardian, Brian was helpful in explaining what my position would be and how the process was to work on behalf of my cousin. He was factual and was able to give me the time and attention that was needed when it come to the law. I was given great customer service and attention when handling the case of my cousin who suffers with Dementia. He has a wealth of knowledge when it come to the law and will assist you in taking care of your loved one.
Brian really helped me out. I needed my Will and Powers of Attorney done before I went out of the country on a mission trip and he did them for me in less than a week. He was very helpful and very thorough. He spent a lot of time getting my information and explaining what the documents do and how to use them if I ever needed to. I would recommend him to anyone.
Mr. Ritter handled our wills, medical power of attorney, and living wills. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to work with him on these legal matters. He listened attentively and answered all of our questions. Mr. Ritter's responses were on time or ahead of projected date. He guided us, but allowed us to make our voices heard. He also was able to confidently provide legal information on another matter. Mr. Ritter would be my first choice to handle future legal matters. I highly reccomend Mr. Ritter.
