We had an amazing experience with Opelon putting together all our Trust documents. Owen took the time to listen to our needs and concerns, offered advice in many areas and was very professional, detailed oriented, guided us through our the entire process and was wonderful to work with. Satori his paralegal is a diamond, she was lightening fast in responding to any questions, changes and was super detailed oriented too. We would recommend Owen, Satori and the entire Opelon team for all estate and probate needs, and will definitely work with them again with no hesitation. Thank you Owen and Satori! read more

We recently completed our family's estate planning with Opelon LLP, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the first call, Satori (their office manager) made everything so smooth. Scheduling was easy, communication was fast and organized, and she walked us through what to expect so we never felt lost in the process. Our attorney, Owen, was absolutely fantastic. He took the time to really listen to our goals for our family, explained every option in clear language, and made sure we felt confident in each decision. Estate planning can feel intimidating, but Owen made it approachable, thoughtful, and stress free. We now have a plan that protects our children and gives us peace of mind and it's all thanks to this team. Highly recommend! read more

My wife and I recently had Owen update our Family Trust, Wills, Power of Attorney, etc. We found him to be very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He was extremely responsive to our emails and also to the many questions we had in person. I particularly appreciated his patience in explaining what some of the legalese in the document meant, and also his ability to point out possible scenarios we might want to consider, "just in case."

I tried to contact several law offices in the area and was getting just answering machines without calls being returned. Then, I finally saw great reviews for Estate Planning attorney Mr. Owen Rassman and decided to call his office. My call was promptly answered by a very polite Mr. Russman assistant, Jennifer, and in a few minutes, she made my appointment with Mr. Rassman for the date and time most convenient for me. After speaking with Mr. Rassman in person at his office for the first time, I was very impressed by the depth of his knowledge, patience, and commitment to understanding the issues I presented.

Owen was fantastic. He answered all our questions. He's friendly and efficient. His fees are perfectly reasonable. We couldn't be happier.

My husband and I wanted to plan contingencies in case something happened to us, to make sure our child was cared for. We knew we wanted to name legal guardians and have a will in place, but we weren't sure what else we needed. Mr. Rassman was knowledgeable in letting us know what the minimum was necessary for estate planning, and additional options if we wanted more. As an average person, it's hard to know "what we don't know" unless someone advises us the information we are lacking. My husband and I appreciated how straight forward he was without using complicated legal jargon. We called around other law firms and either they didn't call us back, or they were simply eager to please and do the bare minimum of what we thought we needed, rather than advising us of appropriate steps. We are so grateful Mr. Rassman was available, responsive, and patient with all of our inexperienced questions. We would recommend his services to any of our social circles without hesitation! read more

Reached out to a number of local firms to have someone review my elderly parents' wills/estates/directives. Many firms did not respond or had no time for us. Opelon got back to us, was friendly and did not want to charge us an exorbitant amount for the work we were requesting. From our first meeting Jennifer and Owen were welcoming, friendly and highly professional. Owen reviewed the documents, and scheduled a second meeting to review all of his suggested changes. He carefully explained each item and when necessary explained it again. He gave us instructions for follow up and further recommendations. Overall a great experience. Would recommend for all estate and probate needs and would definitely use Opelon again. read more

Owen and team helped me with a restatement of trust. I didn't even know that existed before reaching out. He advised me every step of the way.

Highly recommend! read more
