I know Sam from non-profit work we did together. He always has a really good head on his shoulders. He brings a different point of view, and not afraid to address issues that many people wouldn't want to bring up. As a result, I hired Sam to put together our will and powers of attorney. I have a few financial items I'm sensitive about, and I felt confident Sam could handle the situation. He made sure all the pieces were taken care of. I've been impressed with what he did. I recommend that you contact Sam with any of your estate planning needs. - Steve, Actuary at Aon
I retained Sam to define the approach and execute all the documents for my estate planning. Sam was exactly what I was looking for: Knowledgeable: he clearly knows this legal domain well Proactive: he was leading me and offering varying options with trade offs A good communicator: I always knew where we were in the process and what was next Efficient: Sam made good use of my time A good value: I was happy to pay for all the guidance and work product delivered.
Mr. DeJong has been our principal family and business attorney for several years and has represented us in a number of matters we have entrusted to him including estate planning and the establishment of personal and family wills. Sam's been extremely competent, trustworthy and reliable in his aggressive representation of our family's interests. More importantly, we have come to depend on his advice in all legal matters and have found his guidance to be absolutely rock-solid. He has the highest ethical and business principles; my wife and I both recommend him very highly and without reservation.
