From our first meeting, John Lane patiently walked my wife and I through what could have been an arduous estate planning process. He answered our many questions, sometimes, the same questions, thoroughly and at a level we appreciated. John is very articulate, professional, and personable. Not only do we highly recommend John's services, we will count ourselves as returning clients, if the need arises.
My wife and I highly recommend John Lane and his excellent staff! We recently sought legal counsel with John M. Lane Law, PLLC, to handle our estate planning needs. John Lane prepared our Last Will and Testament, Durable Power of Attorney, and Medical Directives for both my wife and I. John was thorough and professional in preparing these important documents and was informative in explaining their legal meaning.
John earned our confidence and trust in his professional abilities to assure our legal matters were handled thoroughly and correctly. Thank you John Lane for doing such a great job with our estate planning!
