We decided to make an appointment and have our much overdue estate planning trust done. Mr. Matecun was very thorough and did an excellent job guiding us through all the needed decisions. Our children have been wanting us to go through this process for several years and are so pleased with the final results. We highly recommend all seniors go through this process of estate planning. Mr. Matecun and his staff were very informative and helpful in this process.

Nearly two years ago my grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. About 6-8 months ago it got to…read morethe point where we knew we were going to have to start thinking about additional care, power of attorney, etc. My mom, aunt and I are smart ladies but this was beyond anything we were familiar with so I knew we were going to need a little help. I did a bit of research and found Jim Schuster's office. Their help has been instrumental in getting everything we need in order: from getting financial and medical power of attorneys set up to financial dealings in order, and (most importantly) the huge medicaid application. Medicaid was instrumental in getting him into a full time care facility since my grandmother was no longer able to take care of him at home. Happy and relieved to report that everything went smoothly, the application was approved so his space in his facility is secure, everything else has been verified and taken care of, and we're feeling a lot more relaxed about the situation. Definitely still sad, but at least we know all the business we needed to take care of has been handled legally, quickly, and expertly. Grateful for their help, indeed.

Mannor law group assisted us with our parents affairs after my fathers two strokes. As my mothers…read morehas Alzheimer's we found that we needed to find an assisted living facility for them. Rachel was unbelievably helpful in planning and placement to a wonderful apartment facility. After the initial placement, Mannor law firm then helped us to navigate the many different branches of government so that my parents would receive the maximum help available to them. I am convinced that the average person could not effectively navigate these systems. Mannor Law then had Eric, another specialist who works with them, help us apply to the V.A. for retirement benefits for my father. Initially my father was turned down but Eric (like the rest of the members of Mannor Law) just doesn't give up and after a lot of his work, my father did receive the benefits. In short, we went to Mannor Law somewhat lost and not knowledgeable enough to effectively take care of our parents as we wanted to. Mannor Law accomplished so much more than we could have without them and better than that, what they accomplished paid for their services in less than one year! Using Mannor Law was by far one of the best decisions that I have ever made!

I want to begin by acknowledging a positive aspect of this firm: the front office staff is…read moreconsistently friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. That level of courtesy does not go unnoticed. However, my experience as the executor of my mother's estate has been deeply frustrating and, at times, disheartening. Following my mother's passing, I never had the opportunity to meet with an attorney to review or discuss the estate. Instead, all of my communication was handled through a legal assistant. While she was kind and personable, I was repeatedly given information that was inaccurate regarding the legal requirements for closing the estate. On multiple occasions, I was told that certain documents were required to be prepared by an attorney in the state of Michigan. This was simply not true. The documents in question can, in fact, be completed by an individual and properly notarized without legal representation. The first document I requested was a Certificate of Trust. I was advised that this document must be completed by an attorney and that most title companies require it. Knowing this was incorrect, I still chose to proceed with the firm preparing the document for the sake of efficiency. While I do not regret that decision, I do find it troubling that such misrepresentations are made--especially to individuals who may be navigating grief and unfamiliar legal processes at a vulnerable time. A second document was also prepared under the same premise--that it required an attorney's involvement. Again, this was inaccurate. This document is publicly accessible and can be completed without legal assistance. When I was unable to locate it on my own, my bank was able to guide me through the process without difficulty. This further underscored the unnecessary nature of the service I was led to believe I needed. I find this pattern of misrepresentation not only unprofessional, but deeply disappointing given the circumstances under which many clients seek estate services. Families deserve transparency, honesty, and guidance they can trust. A fair resolution, in my view, would be a refund for the second document. Unfortunately, my attempts to address this directly have gone unanswered, as I have not received return calls from the legal assistant. In closing, I strongly encourage anyone serving as an executor to thoroughly research their responsibilities and options. It is important to understand that not all documents require legal preparation, and informed decisions can help avoid unnecessary expenses during an already difficult time. It is truly unfortunate to feel this level of doubt when seeking professional legal guidance.

We met with Tina and the first meeting/consult should have been our last and we should have walked out. Do NOT think for a minute that you are all set when something happens. She insisted on speaking to our dad alone, as it is "my policy". Our dad was very hard of hearing, my brother and I were very involved in all of his affairs and care. She insisted that we leave the room even after my dad requested three times that he wanted us to stay. After that first meeting, thank goodness my dad still had his faculties and realized that when she talked to him alone, somehow 1/3 of his estate was to go to a charity that he had mentioned he wanted a donation to go to. He called the office the very next business day and corrected that after he realized what she hasd proposed. Thank goodness he realized it. Also, the plans did nothing to protect his assets. We are still dealing with probate, and we had to hire another attorney to help sort out this mess and I am still dealing with it. It was a huge waste of money and time. This NEVER should have happened. Sadly we trusted her. I have now had THREE separate financial advisors from three different firms tell me that there is no way they would recommend her. If you are considering it, you better read the reviews and you better find someone else. ​
