Mr Pontoppidan processed our Will with the full understanding of needs. He is very thorough in putting our goals into legal terms. His attention and reponse to our needs were timely with the full support of his professional staff. We also plan to continue to engage Mr Henrik on all our business matters. We feel very comfortable that he has listened and re-listened to our needs, and thoroughly vetted out any other legal issues in solving our problems. We will engage his services from now on.

Have avoided attorneys all my life, until the passing of a parent. The reading of the will was a gathering of all involved and took about 30 minutes. This was due to his patience with our family and explaining the process. While the room we were in was large enough for everyone I never got that auditorium feel or stuffiness associated with these type meetings. Keep in mind, I have no prior experience to this. Just anticipation. Not sure if this is needed, but this staff was attentive, courteous and not only gave off a vibe confidence, they delivered. Phone calls were answered and returned promptly with information accurate. Could change one thing? Take the stairs, it was quicker then the elevator. I can not tell you what to do, but I would/will use him again.

I am writing in appreciation of the adoption services that Mr. Pontoppidan provided for my family. Several of my children are adult foster kids. After they turned eighteen and "aged out," we needed an attorney to draw up the adult adoption papers so that these kids could have legal rights within our family. He also provided the documents so that we have legal rights to make decisions for them should they not be able to do so. Mr. Pontoppidan and his staff drew up the legal papers, filed them, and now the three "kids," their wives, significant others, and their children are a complete part of our family.

Henrik was the attorney on my mom's succession. He explained the Succession process to me and was able to quickly open the succession & get me appointed administrator so that I could sell the mobility van, so we didn't have to keep paying the notes or insurance on it. The rest of the work went smoothly. He kept all of us (me & my 3 siblings) informed along the way. He was also able to arrange a partial distribution of funds while we were waiting on another company to process their paperwork. The price charged was very fair. Great communications. I highly recommend him!
