My husband and I engaged Steven Schindler to create a comprehensive estate plan, including a living trust and powers of attorney. His expertise in Trusts and Estates was immediately evident; he patiently explained complex concepts like tax implications for our beneficiaries in a way we could easily understand. It’s clear why he’s been recognized in his field. His background from Duke Law and his years of experience in Seattle gave us great confidence. He was thorough, personable, and genuinely cared about our family's future. The only slight drawback was a minor delay in receiving the final draft documents, as his office seemed quite busy. Overall, we felt exceptionally well-represented and highly recommend his services for anyone needing thoughtful estate planning.
