About

The right plans, the right documents, the right time.  Attentive and patient planning for life's transistion.  Why me? I'm a second-career attorney, meaning that I retired from a career in Engineering and IT to become a lawyer.  It has been a great change, and offers me a chance to help people in ways not possible in the corporate world.  I focus my practice on elders and veterans.  Why there?  Because I'm aging just like everyone else, and because I grew up in a Navy family so this is my way to support the troops.

I can't sing enough praises about this kind and knowledgeable man !! My sister is the executor of my mothers estate. I was already having issues with her taking advantage of her position. I was pretty disappointed that she would even do this ... but before I called out the Marines, Doug went thru some options that he wanted me to be aware of. Clear headed thinking is always the best.

Mr.Koenig was knowledgeable and professional as we reviewed policies on home ownership rights and problems. The need to possibly change or transfer the deed, the pros and cons associated with any change; the other possible options: refinancing or sale of the home. He provided specific facts and costs of each options, facts of NC law relative to each option, and positive and negative financial and/or personal consequences related to each of those options. We reviewed local housing levels of care options for seniors, from rentals to assisted living. Lastly we reviewed the NC law on tenancy; the right to rent out a room to either stranger or family; when and how one might evict if necessary. Mr. Koenig provided dates of upcoming appropriate information sessions. He explained a remedy to an incomplete Will and Power of Attorney. I surely will recommend him to others and will return to use his services as needed.

We found Doug to be respectful of our wishes, knowledgeable, thorough, careful and considerate. Beyond this, he offered suggestions that we had considered and were glad to accept to ease future estate settlement. He also made appropriate adjustments in our POA's and Directive. We highly recommend him.

I have consulted with this lawyer for about a year and a half and have always been completely satisfied. He responds quickly and I completely trust that the information I am being given is accurate. I believe him to be honest and his rates are extremely reasonable. I highly recommend him.
