Aaron was a lifesaver. He helped us with something we knew very little about. I think I really exasperated him with my demands, but he hung in there and got the job done. Thank you

My wife and I worked with Aaron Cook on our Estate (Trust, Wills, POA, Advanced Directive, etc.). Aaron was great to work with. He was very thorough. He listened carefully and took time to answer all of our questions in a manner that was easy to understand. He gave us advise throughout the process. And he was responsive to our phone calls and emails. I was very happy with the entire process and would definitely recommend him for any legal matters.

I found Jason to be very clear and concise in his explanation of some very complicated issues. I walked away with valuable legal documents and clearly defined next steps. I would recommend him to others for legal work.

Aaron Cook was very thorough and made getting our living will combined into one will a breeze. He asked a lot of questions and made sure we completely understood all the documents we were signing.

A few weeks ago I needed few legal documents prepared very quickly and I reached out to Mr. Cook who was very welcoming and provided good legal advice and got my documents prepared in a matter of few days which was amazing. Really liked his down to earth personality and great work ethics. I would definitely consider him again in future and recommend to others.

I came to Aaron in a moment of complete panic with severe safety issues. My family situation had changed dramatically and I needed Aaron's services to help with a house sale, division of assets, and creation of a will and trust for myself and my children. Aaron not only handled my emergency situation with empathy and sympathy, but quickly since fast turnaround was vital. Aaron forced me to pause, and address each issue to ensure that he accurately captured my needs and wants, plus protected me fully. He set expectation for next steps in the process and ensured a successful outcome that allowed me to breathe easy and know my family was protected. I have the utmost respect for Aaron and feel fortunate to have been able to utilize his services. I will continue to use his services as it relates to business decisions within my will and trust.
