We have recently updated our trust with Paul. And it has been 7 years since we first hired him. All the same, Paul walked us through the process and took the time to explain in easily understandable terms what it would mean for the different scenarios if one or both of us were gone, and so on. Paul excels in providing specific, practical, and actionable advice. He also has a great team behind him. As we grow in our understanding of trust, we come to appreciate Paul even more for his wealth of knowledge and wise counsel.

I had the pleasure of working with Paul Gantner, who helped set up a trust for my wife and I. Paul is knowledgeable and professional with every aspect of this important process. While there are many steps to properly providing all of the information to setup a trust, Paul and his team made this easy for us. Plus he pointed out the key notes that made some difficult decisions seem easy and stress free. Within a short time we had a professional plan in place and I am very comfortable in reaching out again when I have any questions or need to make changes. Thanks for a job well done!

We met with Mr. Gantner who was very knowledgeable and able to answer all our questions very effectively. As a client since 1997, our relationship with your law firm has been completely satisfactory. We value and appreciate the advice given us and would not hesitate to recommend your law firm to anyone. And Mary was really a big help.

I came in with a loosey goosey document from a different lawyer Paul asked questions and we discussed many aspects of my small estate. I admit to being thrown by the cost after the first meeting,but when I picked up the final documents I was blown away! Everything is organized in one convenient book including instructions for the executor. I’m so relieved to have this all taken care of by people who understand the confusion possible for those left behind.

Paul Gantner was aide to help me to understand how to create my trust while I am still relatively young so in case anything happens,my college aged daughter will be taken care of the manner I would want. My parents had pushed me to get this done but I hadn’t because it seemed too daunting. Thank God I found Mr. Gantner who was very knowledgeable and patient. I should have done it sooner.

I’m so glad I found this group of lawyers on the net - I’ve had little experience with what I needed to do - and Mr. Gantner made it all so easy. There was so much more to do - and I’m quite satisfied that we have gotten all the necessary items covered!

We liked the way our trust was explained to us. Paul did not use a lot of “ lawyer jargon “ but talked through these important decisions in ways we understood. He developed a great comfort level with us right off the bat.

Very much an advocate to me & my husband bringing thoughts and knowledge we hadn’t considered. Gave us options instead of “ must do’s “ will continue to support us as time goes by with the full support of a very professional law firm regardless of circumstances.
