Not Your Typical Estate Planning Lawyers
Over the years, we’ve encountered countless cases where someone has had the “traditional” experience with estate planning, business planning, or legal services in general. Traditionally, the lawyer spouts an overabundance of legal jargon while overcomplicating an issue and leaving the client with unanswered questions. The client politely smiles and nods then signs on the dotted line. As questions arise over the following weeks and months regarding their living trust, business planning, or other legal service, the client attempts to contact the lawyer.
The call is returned several days later followed by a bill for the 15 minutes of legal services rendered. The client pays the $75 and avoids calling the lawyer ever again. Several years later, the client’s business planning or estate planning documents are found to be outdated, and the successors struggle to determine their next move. So they call the lawyer who created the documents, who is happy to offer interpretation and legal advice while billing them hourly.
