My daughter recommended Colby Lessmann to do my estate plan because she was really impressed with how he helped her consider different scenarios for her and her daughter in the immediate future and for the far distant future. She was absolutely right! Colby was very professional and incredibly in tune with my wants, needs, and the various possibilities. I would highly recommend Colby to anyone looking for a good Estate Planning Attorney!

Colby, did an excellent job on our estate planning. Not only did he come to us in South Dakota he explained things in a manner that we could understand. We have referred him to family and friends. He’s the best.

Colby Lessmann represented me, as the plaintiff, in a complicated equity case. Colby brilliantly sorted through a mountain of evidence, including fraud and deception and presented the court in a clear and convincing manner. The burden of proof was on us. In every step, from exhibits filed, the pretrial brief and 2 day hearing; Colby demonstrated excellent legal understanding and the presentation skills in the courtroom were astounding. I was astounded by the legal case citation that supported every facet of the case. We were 5000% victorious. I highly recommend Colby Lessmann.

Colby was absolutely the best when it came to setting up my estate plan. He made sure I thought of every possible scenario to ensure that my baby girl would be taken care of in the event that this or that happened. Every "what if" was identified, which took a tremendous load off my shoulders. He took the time to answer all of my questions and explain in plain detail how the legal system worked and how my choices could affect me and/or my daughter in the long run. Colby was a great asset through the entire process and I would ABSOLUTELY recommend him to everyone.

Colby did an outstanding job resolving our case. He quickly got up to speed on the details of the situation and the technical side of the situation as well. Colby was great to work with and was easy to keep in contact with as the case progressed. I would refer him and the firm to anyone needing solid representation. mb.

Colby represented me on a post-probate will dispute that was brought by a sibling to change my father's will. I am located in another state, but needed somebody in Sioux City to represent me in a local court where the lawsuit was filed. Colby is very personable and easy to talk to. He knows the law and has great experience. I was very satisfied with his representation.

Colby is very knowledgeable in Estate Planning, Probate, and Litigation. During the initial consultation, it became apparent that he was an excellent and well versed attorney in these areas of law. He stayed in contact, and was "on top" of the process. I highly recommend Colby for assisting in any aspect of the above. I was very satisfied.

I would highly recommend Colby. He was very professional but also was able to bring the conversation down to a level that those of us not in the law profession could understand. He met with me everytime I asked, and also answered every phone call and email promptly. He took care of my husband's estate, and even though we had a few extra issues, he made it easy for me. I would definitely hire him again.
