First I have to thank Dominique K. and Terry K. They have recommended me the best estate planning lawyer to our family. And this is why I love Yelp too. They give better recommendation than your friends or family. A friend did recommend a lawyer. After so many months later, we got a packet with massive paper to read and fill out along with $1000 deposit to start the estate planning. Okay, I don't think that was the right way to start my planning with lawyer I've never met and how would you know if you would feel comfortable sharing my privacy.
Estate planning is one of those thing you have to do especially if you have children and you want them to be taken care of properly along with your assets. I'm not rich but my spouse and I like to plan my future as best as possible.
So, when I called Dean to inquire about estate planning, he briefly explained what to expect and what it was about. To be honest, I was clueless. A free consultation was made to meet with Dean. Okay, you have to meet the person first to get the feel first.
His office is located inside this blue building across from Macy's Ala Moana. It's the same building as Shokudo restaurant. Sorry, I don't know the name of the building.
During our first meeting he answered all our questions and wonders about will, trust, and laws. He made everything crystal clear on what our family needs in case of sudden death or inevitable happens. Dean is easy to talk to and very professional. He's appropriately friendly. I say that because you don't want to forget that this isn't food talk but serious life talk. And he doesn't charge by hour so you can ask questions without pressure. Dean's assistant is also a professional. She always called a couple of days before our appointment to confirm.
Anyhow, the whole process of our family getting our estate planning took about 4 meetings and each lasting about 30 to 40 minutes. Yes, we did spend some money but how can you put a price on peace of mind? We're just so glad we found Dean to work with. If you have estate planning on your mind, give Dean a call
