Customer Testimonials

Dan helped me with my will and trust. I found him to be very friendly and knowledgeable. He's detail oriented and is great at explaining everything. He's also mobile and can come to you if necessary. Apart from being an Attorney, he is also a Notary and helped me with that too. I highly recommend him.

Raj Rajasingh

We hired William Daniel Powell to do an estate plan for us. Dan was professional, knowledgeable and extremely patient. For our convenience he conducted all meetings at our home. Dan stepped us through the entire process answering all of our questions as well as making suggestions. He provided a mobile notary and presented us with all documents in a bound folder. We are extremely pleased his service and reasonable fees.

B.G.

As someone who helps the senior community for a living, I am always running across clients that need an estate plan or need their current trust updated. I always feel 100% comfortable referring Mr. Powell. He has always been a very thorough and kind professional to all of my clients that I have referred to him. They always are very complementary about him, his services and his rates. Just a good guy who is an estate attorney and can help with very important things. Give him a call.

Steve Korts

He was and is terrific, Very Professional, Very Competent, Prompt and very fair fees. He was willing to meet on our schedule at our residence and was very well prepared for the initial review of our goals, continued review / updating with very clear explanations, through the final meetings. Dan (William) aided with our estate planning (our options were discussed, updated our older will, establish a current personal family game plan, and all the related documents to aid in us for the future). He organized a timely meeting with the notary for the final signings and took care of all of the appropriate filings. We have recommended him and will continue to do so in the future.

Kathryn

Neal

William was very professional in every way. He listened carefully to my needs for the Trust I wanted to update. He asked all the right questions, verified all my information and he executed the Trust masterfully. He made sure I was totally covered with nothing left to chance. He was quick, efficient and knows his stuff! If I need anything in the future, I will be calling on his expertise once again.

Monteen

My husband and I recently updated our trust and wills and all other important documents. We used William “Dan” Powell who made the whole experience painless. Dan explained everything so we could understand it throughout the process. I would highly recommend him for any/all your needs whether it’s preparing these documents for the first time or updating them as we did. I now have peace of mind knowing all our affairs are in order and up to date.

Val

I contacted William in order to draw up some organizational agreements for our band. You know just the right questions to ask, and quickly and efficiently translated that into exactly the contract I was looking for. Very responsive, very friendly. I would definitely recommend.

Jason

Very personable, knowledgeable and thorough with reasonable fees and great review of the documents and suggested direction for different family member needs. Local and can visit you at your residence if that is more convenient.

Larry Becht

Mr. Powell is highly knowledgeable and truly transparent, a rare combo these days. He made the intricacies of our will and trust readily understandable and gave us a great deal compared to competing quotes we got for similar work. It was his communication style and the humanity with which he approaches an uncomfortable conversation that really won me over. Highly recommended.

Miguel B. Hart

I recently had the pleasure of working with William (Dan) to create a trust and will for myself and my husband. From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. Not only was Dan friendly and personable, but he was also extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. One thing I really appreciated was how willing he was to answer all of my questions. I had a lot of them, and he never made me feel like I was asking too much. Instead, he took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy for me to understand. Overall, I would highly recommend Dan Powell to anyone who needs help with estate planning or creating a trust and will. He is a true professional who genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy and satisfied with his services. Thank you, Dan, for all of your help!

I have had the good fortune of knowing Dan Powell for about five years, both personally and professionally. He has always demonstrated professionalism in his knowledge of estate planning, while also conveying attributes I consider to be equally-valuable: honesty, integrity, and ethics, all while maintaining a healthy sense of humor (which I appreciate!) I would highly recommend Dan to anyone in need of professional estate planning services!
