People are usually surprised how much time and work it takes to do good planning. I hope a few readers take you up an this amazing evaluation fee waiver. it's a no risk way to decide if you are the lawyer for them.

From those of us who know to those of you who don't: this is no advertising propaganda--It is absolutely correct. It tells us why we have so much trouble explaining the difference between counselling and design vs the drafting of "its." Victor: this is a wonderful article.

Do-it-yourself estate planners and those who shop for a lawyer based only on the cost of estate planning "documents" often pay a much steeper price than what it would have cost to plan properly at the outset.
