Why Request a Consultation?

An effective estate plan depends completely upon your personal and financial goals and circumstances. Learn why talking to an estate planning attorney about the estate plan that is right for you can help give you peace of mind.

Reason 1

You don’t yet have an estate plan

Creating a personal estate plan is key to predicating your life outcome. The best way to get started is by requesting a consultation today.

Selecting guardians and fiduciaries for the physical and financial well-being of your children are some of the most important decisions you will make. Our expert attorneys can help.

Reason 3

You’ve spent a lifetime building something that matters and is worth remembering. Estate planning is more than just preserving assets; it’s also about passing on your story and your family values.

Caring for loved ones that cannot care for themselves requires diligent and intentional planning to ensure they have the care and resources they need even when you are no longer around.

Reason 5

You need to protect a family business

Your family business is likely your most valuable asset. You’ve worked hard throughout the years to build your business. Proper planning ensures that it continues into the next generation.

Client Success Stories

Our experience was excellent. The office staff were very helpful, professional, and skilled in their areas of responsibilities. Our attorney, Beth Ann, was very knowledgeable in regards to our estate plan needs. She made sure she understood our needs and transcribed those needs to our documents. She thoroughly educated us, so that we could make appropriate decisions. A very pleasant experience.

"From initial consult to final trust, we were very satisfied. Ken explained all facets clearly. We felt at all times our best interests were served."

"Ken and Brittany were thorough and patient in addressing our concerns and explaining the value of our trust in protecting ourselves and our heirs. They connected seamlessly with our bank and financial advisor. Great!!!"

"Ken was absolutely outstanding! We can’t say enough accolades about his level of knowledge, his pleasant disposition, and his client-oriented approach. We thought we had our future well covered until we consulted with Ken…we didn’t, but Ken has all aspects covered now! He’s the best!"

"Beth Ann is awesome! Explained things in great detail – was extra engaged with my elderly mother – made her feel very comfortable! I have given out lots of her business cards within my business."

Everything met or exceeded our expectations from the initial seminar through the final document signing conference. Attorney Kenneth Dodl is a competent professional who treats the client with respect and explains the details in a clear, caring manner. I have no suggestions or recommendations for improvement – NONE NEEDED!

"We can’t suggest ‘improvements’ as Mr. Dodl was so organized and clear, both in the planning session and the signing session. Our adult children felt at ease asking questions. He made these ‘decisions for our life’ so easy to discuss – when it was so hard. Thank you."
