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."
