Top 3 Qualities to look for in Your Attorney

We believe your attorney should not speak in legalese

Finding an attorney who is a “real person” can be difficult. Many attorneys surround themselves almost exclusively with other attorneys and are accustomed to speaking in ivory tower legalese.  You should be able to connect with your attorney on a personal level, and he or she should speak to you in plain language that you can understand.  You will be working very closely with this person on issues that are very important to you. It is important that he or she be down-to-earth and someone that you connect with.

We believe your attorney should be accessible

The most common complaint that clients have of their attorneys is that the attorney is unreachable, does not communicate with them regularly, or does not promptly return your calls.  Your attorney should reach out to you about your case regularly and respond within 24 hours to calls and e-mails.  An open line of communication between you and your attorney is essential to building trust.

Learn how we service your area through our Remote Location Approach.

We believe your attorney should be realistic with you about costs and outcomes

Your attorney’s goal should not be to win at all costs.  Rather, it should be to achieve a favorable outcome for you as efficiently as possible.  It is important that your attorney set realistic expectations at the outset as to the costs you should expect, the concerns that the attorney has about the outcome of your case, and the length of time that you should expect your case to take.

Regardless of the nature of your case, we have an experienced attorney who will focus on your individual needs. Our team of attorneys works closely together, bringing each of their different fields of experience to bear in order to optimize our client care.

About Westmont Estate Planning & Administration Attorneys:

  • We Are Affordable!  We don't base our prices on what other attorneys typically charge, we base them on the amount of time it takes us to meet with clients and prepare their documents (which is never terribly long).  If you find a more cost-effective solution for your estate plan, we would like to hear about it.
  • We Go Above-And-Beyond!  There are many estate planning attorneys that take the cookie-cutter approach to forms, fail to explain them properly, and fail to assist you in properly funding your trust.   Our Westmont estate planning attorneys fully educate you about every aspect of your estate plan.  We walk you through your documents, work with you free of charge to assist with transferring your assets, cut through any red tape, and answer any questions you have.  
  • We Know Our Stuff!  We are experienced in cutting edge Estate Tax Avoidance Techniques, Special Needs Trusts, Creditor Protection Strategies, and other focused techniques to fit your situation.  We are not selling forms, but providing customized experience.    
  • We are Comprehensive!  You need an Estate Plan now, but may need help with a different legal issue tomorrow.  We want to be your trusted adviser for all of your legal solutions by providing you with a team approach in nearly every area of law.  Regardless of your legal needs, you will get the same trusted quality service.
