As the owner of small businesses, it is critically important to have sound legal counsel on issues ranging from the appropriate type of legal organization, to matters with employees/personnel, to the expansion of business operations to other States, to concerns with business succession, and to the unexpected legal issues that arise through the normal course of operations. After some relatively poor experiences with some other attorneys, I was referred to Dennis Astill about 12 years ago. Since then, Dennis has essentially been an adjunct part of my business operations and also a trusted advisor in personal matters, including; real estate transactions, personal and family trusts, and other partnering arrangements. His strengths include a breadth of legal knowledge and experience related to business operations and personal matters, attention to detail and excellent communication skills, and a simple willingness to 'tell it like it is' and then work to find the optimal solution for the benefit of my businesses and my family. In a recent real estate matter in which a family member was identified in a lawsuit, Dennis reviewed the details and the legal implications of the lawsuit and provided advice that served as the 'roadmap' to a practical settlement between the parties with minimal involvement of attorneys, providing significant savings with regard to legal bills, court costs, and related fees. In my dealings with Dennis, he has always been willing to fully explain legal matters and any associated consequences of a proposed action, answer my questions related to the issue(s) at-hand, and fully address my concerns in a respectful and courteous manner. His personal demeanor, good character, and personal values are evident in the quality of his work and his integrity with his clients. It is great for a small business owner like me to have access to sound legal advice on a wide array of issues from someone who is fully conversant in the law as well as straight-forward, trustworthy, and dependable. With the foregoing in mind, I would enthusiastically recommend Dennis Astill to any small business owner and others seeking to form a personal, family or living trust; performing estate planning; or simply drafting a Will.
I can't speak highly enough of Mr. Astill and his firm. From the minute I met him he was completely focused on my family trust needs. I felt like I was his only client. I asked for a very special format; specifically anticipating several possible types of assistance that my heirs might need from my estate over the possible course of 20 years. He answered all of my questions regarding the possible scenarios I mentioned, and accommodated all of my requested changes. I have had other legal help recently in a different area of law, and wouldn't feel comfortable recommending anyone I worked with. However, if you need estate planning, I am happy to recommend this firm. I have total confidence in their ability to help you create a document that will give you piece of mind and will met your specific needs.
Very effective and easy to work with. Promptly returned emails, was persistent in following up on my claim, and helped me collect in a timely manner. Staff friendly as well. Highly recommend him.
Dennis Astill has been our attorney for over 35 years. He has handled adoptions, estate planning and everything in-between for us. He was very helpful with suggestions that made it easier when it came time to establish our wills/trusts and explained issues in a way that we understood. We highly recommend Dennis.
Dennis was very helpful in getting and estate plan together for our family. He was knowledgeable, and had many good suggestions and advice for us to consider. Estate planning raises lots of difficult issues and Dennis was able to help us tease out what we needed.
Dennis is great to work with! He helped me navigate setting up a business. His advice steered me away from bad decisions, saving me money and time. He has also helped us prevent a lawsuit within my family, helping us avoid unwanted drama. He's very smart and blunt--which I liked.

His strengths include a breadth of legal knowledge and experience related to business operations and personal matters, attention to detail and excellent communication skills, and a simple willingness to 'tell it like it is' and then work to find the optimal solution for the benefit of my businesses and my family. In a recent real estate matter in which a family member was identified in a lawsuit, Dennis reviewed the details and the legal implications of the lawsuit and provided advice that served as the 'roadmap' to a practical settlement between the parties with minimal involvement of attorneys, providing significant savings with regard to legal bills, court costs, and related fees. In my dealings with Dennis, he has always been willing to fully explain legal matters and any associated consequences of a proposed action, answer my questions related to the issue(s) at-hand, and fully address my concerns in a respectful and courteous manner. His personal demeanor, good character, and personal values are evident in the quality of his work and his integrity with his clients. It is great for a small business owner like me to have access to sound legal advice on a wide array of issues from someone who is fully conversant in the law as well as straight-forward, trustworthy, and dependable. With the foregoing in mind, I would enthusiastically recommend Dennis Astill to any small business owner and others seeking to form a personal, family or living trust; performing estate planning; or simply drafting a Will.
I can't speak highly enough of Mr. Astill and his firm. From the minute I met him he was completely focused on my family trust needs. I felt like I was his only client. I asked for a very special format; specifically anticipating several possible types of assistance that my heirs might need from my estate over the possible course of 20 years. He answered all of my questions regarding the possible scenarios I mentioned, and accommodated all of my requested changes. I have had other legal help recently in a different area of law, and wouldn't feel comfortable recommending anyone I worked with. However, if you need estate planning, I am happy to recommend this firm. I have total confidence in their ability to help you create a document that will give you piece of mind and will met your specific needs.
Very effective and easy to work with. Promptly returned emails, was persistent in following up on my claim, and helped me collect in a timely manner. Staff friendly as well. Highly recommend him.
Dennis Astill has been our attorney for over 35 years. He has handled adoptions, estate planning and everything in-between for us. He was very helpful with suggestions that made it easier when it came time to establish our wills/trusts and explained issues in a way that we understood. We highly recommend Dennis.
Dennis was very helpful in getting and estate plan together for our family. He was knowledgeable, and had many good suggestions and advice for us to consider. Estate planning raises lots of difficult issues and Dennis was able to help us tease out what we needed.
Dennis is great to work with! He helped me navigate setting up a business. His advice steered me away from bad decisions, saving me money and time. He has also helped us prevent a lawsuit within my family, helping us avoid unwanted drama. He's very smart and blunt--which I liked.
As the owner of small businesses, it is critically important to have sound legal counsel on issues ranging from the appropriate type of legal organization, to matters with employees/personnel, to the expansion of business operations to other States, to concerns with business succession, and to the unexpected legal issues that arise through the normal course of operations.

Dennis was very helpful in getting and estate plan together for our family. He was knowledgeable, and had many good suggestions and advice for us to consider. Estate planning raises lots of difficult issues and Dennis was able to help us tease out what we needed.
Dennis is great to work with! He helped me navigate setting up a business. His advice steered me away from bad decisions, saving me money and time. He has also helped us prevent a lawsuit within my family, helping us avoid unwanted drama. He's very smart and blunt--which I liked.
As the owner of small businesses, it is critically important to have sound legal counsel on issues ranging from the appropriate type of legal organization, to matters with employees/personnel, to the expansion of business operations to other States, to concerns with business succession, and to the unexpected legal issues that arise through the normal course of operations. After some relatively poor experiences with some other attorneys, I was referred to Dennis Astill about 12 years ago. Since then, Dennis has essentially been an adjunct part of my business operations and also a trusted advisor in personal matters, including; real estate transactions, personal and family trusts, and other partnering arrangements. His strengths include a breadth of legal knowledge and experience related to business operations and personal matters, attention to detail and excellent communication skills, and a simple willingness to 'tell it like it is' and then work to find the optimal solution for the benefit of my businesses and my family. In a recent real estate matter in which a family member was identified in a lawsuit, Dennis reviewed the details and the legal implications of the lawsuit and provided advice that served as the 'roadmap' to a practical settlement between the parties with minimal involvement of attorneys, providing significant savings with regard to legal bills, court costs, and related fees. In my dealings with Dennis, he has always been willing to fully explain legal matters and any associated consequences of a proposed action, answer my questions related to the issue(s) at-hand, and fully address my concerns in a respectful and courteous manner. His personal demeanor, good character, and personal values are evident in the quality of his work and his integrity with his clients. It is great for a small business owner like me to have access to sound legal advice on a wide array of issues from someone who is fully conversant in the law as well as straight-forward, trustworthy, and dependable. With the foregoing in mind, I would enthusiastically recommend Dennis Astill to any small business owner and others seeking to form a personal, family or living trust; performing estate planning; or simply drafting a Will.
I can't speak highly enough of Mr. Astill and his firm. From the minute I met him he was completely focused on my family trust needs. I felt like I was his only client. I asked for a very special format; specifically anticipating several possible types of assistance that my heirs might need from my estate over the possible course of 20 years. He answered all of my questions regarding the possible scenarios I mentioned, and accommodated all of my requested changes. I have had other legal help recently in a different area of law, and wouldn't feel comfortable recommending anyone I worked with. However, if you need estate planning, I am happy to recommend this firm. I have total confidence in their ability to help you create a document that will give you piece of mind and will met your specific needs.
Very effective and easy to work with. Promptly returned emails, was persistent in following up on my claim, and helped me collect in a timely manner. Staff friendly as well. Highly recommend him.
