5 /5 Mike H.: Estate planning is more than just preparing documents. It is navigating a path and plan to make sure everything passes the way we intend it to, as well as, in the most tax efficient manner. To achieve our goals, my wife and I, secured the services of John D. Laughton, who is an attorney with over 40 years of experience that specializes in estate planning and elder law. We felt at ease the moment Mr. Laughton walked into the room. He has a kind, gentle demeanor and patiently responded to all our questions with great detail. Not only did Mr. Laughton provide clear explanations to our questions but also helped familiarize us with other options that could protect our interests. After initial visits and followup discussions, my wife and I, had a living trust providing us complete peace of mind. Additionally, the process to notarize was made simple with the help of Holly, the Services Manager, who provided notary services right in the office. The Director of First Impressions, Alice, was an absolute pleasure and the first person you meet when arriving. John and the entire staff are extremely down to earth, professional and friendly. We were even introduced to Hank, the team’s loving office dog. Bottom line, it was an outstanding experience (not an adjective commonly used to describe legal visits) and more importantly, my wife and I walked away with comfort knowing our family’s future was safe.
