Highly recommended!

I considered LegalZoom. Or even those old-school paper packets you can buy at Office Max (does any of that exist anymore?) But I know enough to know that having a real live licensed lawyer gives peace of mind, and if they botch anything, you have recourse. I looked on Yelp for estate lawyers. Greg Levinson had great reviews. So I contacted him thru his website, he contacted me back quickly, and it soon became clear I was working with an ethical, experienced and practical lawyer to get these vital documents done. We met on Zoom and he answered all my questions, including awkward ones like Should I include a clause in my will/trust that I don't want my child raised in the religion my sibling practices? Should I give my trustees a copy of the actual documents so they'd see the contents, or just tell them where to find my papers if I die? I felt Greg and I trusted and respected each other. Greg was very proactive and communicative even when I was kind of putting the project on my back burner. The end result of hiring Greg: I now feel secure with my documents. That my kid and other survivors will be protected if I die, and they'll know my wishes, and their administrative burden will be less than it would have if I'd continued procrastinating on my Estate docs. Highly recommend Greg. Just do it!

So glad we finally started this process and we found a N+F to help us as well. We met with Sam,…read morewho with incredible pace and patience, walked us through all of the details and definitions of how a living trust works and all the things we would want to consider as we cement our final wishes. Going into this, I thought it would be incredibly intimidating and complex but it was surprising direct - not because it is - but because of the way Sam was able to explain things in a way it was easy to get. And I should mention that in addition to Sam, everyone there was incredibly kind and helpful as my wife and I set up our living trust. So after years (yes, years) of putting this off, we finally have the peace of mind of a trust. And not just because of some paper but because these people helped give us some confidence in the process as well. So lucky we were referred here!

We were referred to Nay & Friedenberg by the attorney who assists us with our real estate and Darin Dooley has been outstanding! He is always calm, provides us the options we have available to choose from, the impact of each option, and explains them in an easy to understand manner. We are so grateful for their assistance, we are now beginning to use Darin for our own needs, and look forward to working with him to plan our retirement. I cannot say enough about this firm, they respond promptly, patiently, and use a common sense approach to very complicated issues, which makes working with them extremely enjoyable. Highly recommended!

I had an excellent experience with Pam Yee on contract review and negotiation for a commercial real…read moreestate deal. I reached out to Pam at a time of desperate need -- it was Friday morning, and we had a contract that needed attorney review by Monday and we didn't have an attorney. Out of the many attorneys I contacted, Pam was the only one who listened and empathized, and she spent the weekend diligently reviewing, flagging and explaining parts of the contract that needed edits. Over the next few weeks, Pam was essential to our contract negotiation. She provided timely feedback on all documents sent her way, provided insight and advice from her experience with other commercial real-estate transactions, and at certain points directly negotiated with the opposing counsel on our behalf. I would have been lost without her. Pam is an excellent communicator, a hard worker, and somebody I trust to have my back in these dealings. I would hire Pam again for any future business dealings in Oregon.

We were referred to FL by Clackamas county Social Services. It was an urgent situation with my…read morehusband's sister. We needed guardianship and conservatorship ASAP. We were quoted 13K, which we agreed upon. That amount was surpassed greatly. It was evident that copy and paste was used for the majority of legal documents. The work was not done by a lawyer, but a legal assistant. There were spelling errors, delays, poor communication and failure to mail documents. On one invoice was a 30 minute charge to mail a letter. Maybe they walked to the mailbox??? The final straw was this letter. There is no more money in the estate. Fitzwater received over $20,000 for the guardianship and simple probate. They were paid from the estate. The conversation with Jonathon today involved him telling my husband that Oregon Law states that legal fees were to be paid before other creditors. My husband was NEVER informed of this law and paid outstanding medical bills with the little amount that was left in the estate. Jonathon also stated that "he talked with the partners about waiving the unpaid invoice and they declined". Unreal, the firm got over 20K for the "work" in the case. Do not hire them unless you have unlimited funds.
