We hired Ryan and his team for our estate planning needs. Ryan was very clear and thorough in explaining about the estate planning process, what to expect from him and fees. He was very precise in collecting data from our side and putting them in to trust documents and explain each document very clearly to us. Ryan and his team was always there and ready to answer any questions we had. Very professional and accommodating to any changes that you need along the process. We highly recommend Ryan and his team for estate planning. Two thumbs UP !!!
We hired Ryan for our estate planning needs and were extremely pleased with his friendly demeanor and thorough explanation of the process and our options. We always felt completely heard, and he made sure we never left a session together without having our questions answered clearly. He was very considerate of our circumstances, and we could not have been more satisfied with his attention to detail or disposition. By the end of our term, we felt empowered knowing we had proper legal documentation in place for our needs. We would recommend him in the highest regard!
Ryan helped me at a very difficult time with estate issues of my son. Ryan has been kind and supportive and got the job done as he said he would. I am very thankful for that and I wish him the very best!
Ryan knows the law, knows the strategies, knows the emotions, knows the what ifs. And he gets to know YOU and your family. Superlative experience with Ryan and his team. Patient in explaining, efficient in the processes, flawless execution. And a downright nice guy.
Ryan helped us with our estate planning. We have been very happy with the overall process, clear explanation of the documents, the timeline and the fees. He was thorough answering our questions.
My wife and I hired Ryan Gardner for our estate planning needs. Ryan and his team exceeded our expectations in the service provided. I appreciated the educational approach to estate planning he provides and have a ton of confidence in the strategies he tailored for my families needs. What a huge sense of relief to get this taken care of and it was made easy by Ryan and his team.
We contacted Ryan to help us develop our estate plan. Timing was critical. We wanted it completed prior to our "bucket list" trip to Scotland. Ryan assured us that we had plenty of time and we got it completed without stress, thanks to Ryan. He is very professional and caring. Really helped us define the important details and get through the difficult family discussions and decisions. Great job!
My wife and I used Ryan Gardner to prepare our wills and Revocable Trusts. We'd initially asked another lawyer about how to set up the types of trusts we wanted and learned that what we were looking for was more than just a simple trust and that he wasn't comfortable doing the work. After contacting Ryan we were immediately impressed with his knowledge of what we were looking to do and were convinced that he could do the work we needed done. After wading through the documents and terminology as best we could we had multiple questions for Ryan which required a lot of explanation. Ryan patiently answered all our questions and did so in a way that we could easily understand. Ryan made a difficult task easier for us to understand and complete. I wholeheartedly recommend Ryan Gardner for anyone serious about estate planning.
Estate planning can be daunting--at least it was for us! The entire concept brought up all sorts of uncomfortable ideas we didn't want to confront, and every time we sat down to think about it, we were confused and clueless and so we would give up and think, "We'll figure it out later." Thankfully we found Ryan!! Ryan and his team immediately put us at ease and heeded our pleas to "make this whole thing as straightforward as possible." He was knowledgable, down-to-earth, easygoing, and answered all of our questions and handled the whole thing so quickly that it left us wondering why we had waited so long. I know I sound like an infomercial when I say this but if you've found Ryan and Lavelle Law, your hard work is done.
Ryan is very knowledgeable, makes great suggestions and is very responsive to any questions or suggestions that we had. 100% would refer to friends and family!
