Mike and Shari are clients with a blended family and are very happy with the estate plan they created with Roulet Law Firm. Shari had experienced the probate process due to the passing of a family member and found it to be slow and painful, and loves that the trust she created can bypass the probate system. She loved the process of preparing their trust: "...It's painless.  I highly recommend doing it as soon as you can." She adds, "It was just a very pleasant experience. Highly recommended. " Transcript of video testimonial. Q: And with your estate plan, you have a blended family - correct? Do you want to just chat about that a little bit. A: - They're grown. - I have two children - grown. - So when we go up North, we're always afraid, What if something happened? Who would take care of our estate? Who would get along the best? And so we came here and decided, first we had to decide who was going to be our executors. And then we started the trust process, finally after talking about it quite a while, a couple years. And it's painless. I highly recommend doing it as soon as you can. Q: How would you describe the experience of working with us overall of working with us? A: Great. For me, especially in today's world when you contact a lawyer or a firm there's always that trust factor, which is normal for most people, but in this case I sleep easy at night knowing that you did this process for us. I have complete trust in you. Q: Would you say that we seemed concerned about you and your family as we were working throughout this process? A: - Very genuinely, yes. - Anything that we did not think of, which was quite a bit, you always have the answers or you suggested it for us so I feel we have a thorough experience, not just half-way. We have everything we need. I feel very comfortable about it too. Q: Do you feel like we designed a plan that will work when your family needs it? A: - Absolutely. Every time we drive up North now I feel a little bit better. Not that we're going to have anything happen[...] - It's nice to know that if something happened to us that the children would not have to go through the stress of trying to gather everything, what to do, when everything is kind of laid out for them now, plus being able to contact you in case they have questions. It's stressful enough when people pass but it's a lot easier to know that that legal end of stuff is already taken care of. Q: What would you say is the most important thing that we accomplished for you with this process? A: - Just making it easier to understand. There's a lot of legal things and that's a large packet[...]I do feel like I understand it and I can actually give it to my children to implement and they will understand it. And we can always come back to you if we don't and if they don't. - And the process was put down in layman's term, not legal jargon which most people would have a hard time with that, but this was real easy. Sweet. Q: Would you recommend us to others? A:  - Definitely. - Absolutely. I do it every time someone says, "I need a lawyer." I've got your card right here. Q: Is there anything you'd like to share with us about the process? A: - It was simple, it was easy. It was very easy. It wasn't stressful, it wasn't complicated. The biggest thing is just you need to gather all the information and even that wasn't as hard as, say, applying for a mortgage or something else with the banks.   It was just a very pleasant experience. - I concur. - Highly recommended. Especially if you have a blended family--you don't want leave those kids out there in the cold just wondering what to do. I think it's really important. All the legal things we have done with you Chuck have been just wonderful. They really have. I feel very comfortable here. I don't feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles.  Everything that we've done with you has been plain and honest and up front and very easy.  

Mike and Shari

When I compared notes with my sister and her experience with getting her estate plan done [with a different attorney], it was just clear that our plan was just so much more personalized - the time you took to figure out what we really wanted, the protections that you built in for us, the ID cards, the video, ours was just more personalized for our family. Paraphrased from a comment from Susan, an estate planning client.

Q: How did you feel Roulet Law Firm did in listening to your goals and desires? A: "Absolutely #1. I would recommend Chuck any time." * To hear Jeanne talk about her experience with the Roulet Law Firm, click the video.

Chuck and his firm have been great in addressing all of our questions and our concerns and being timely and efficient in the processing of our paperwork and being able to resolve our estate planning in an exceptionally timely manner, even to the extent that we have done." Video transcript: I heard about Chuck and his firm through a presentation he gave to my MOMS Club - the MOMS Club of Brooklyn Park. We asked him to come in and speak with us about wills and guardianship for children. I found it exceptionally informative and was very intrigued to find out more what he could do for my situation and my family. I'm very pleased, everything you said was basically as you stated and the forms were there, the language was as clear as it could be, and it was complete and much more than what I've seen in previous wills or what I've heard described for other estates. I've had experience in legal proceedings before and I realize that they can be daunting and I swear the majority of stuff they don't use in English and working with your firm has been phenomenal because there is so much clarification and there's the layman's term description and any question we had or needed clarification on was immediately resolved. I thought the hours were very convenient. We both work and yet we were able to come in for both meetings and get things accomplished in a timely fashion. I thought that the process was very customizable and everything we wanted or didn't feel that was a need for us was easy to exclude or include. I feel that there was a lot of concern about our not-so-normal situation and a little bit more sensitivity to around how to make things the same for all of our children that are involved in our estate planning. You asked questions to make sure we understood what we were wanting to do and making sure it was the right thing to document. I feel that we have designed a very comprehensive plan and it will hopefully make our trust and our beneficiaries and our guardians a lot easier to process if anything should happen to us. I feel that overall our experience has been phenomenal. Chuck and his firm have been great in addressing all of our questions and our concerns and being timely and efficient in the processing of our paperwork and being able to resolve our estate planning in an exceptionally timely manner, even to the extent that we have done." * To hear what Irvin and Kristina have to say, click the video.

Rochelle, a business client, shared that, "I sleep a lot better at night now that I found you."

Thanks again for all of your help Chuck.  We were very pleased with the way you explained everything and wouldn't hesitate to mention your name to someone looking for an estate planning attorney.

"We did our first will with LegalZoom. However, after doing some additional research and reading, and after having our second child, we realized the will we did would not protect our kids in the way we wanted. We have much more peace of mind now, after working with you, knowing our kids are taken care of if something happens to us."

Kristy

If our previous attorney would have taken the time to explain our options to us the way you did, we would have made much different choices when we did our previous estate plan. We feel much better now knowing the plan you put into place for our family reflects our wishes and our values, and most importantly, protects our kids.

Janice

I so appreciate your kind words of counsel and wisdom.  I intend to take your advice in all areas and I look forward to some closure for my parents and positive changes for our family going forward.   Thank you again, Chuck.  You are a gem.

I purchased your book [Be Your Own Boss: A Fast and Friendly Legal Guide to Starting Your Own Business] and when it came time for my siblings and I to set up an LLC to hold the farm we inherited from our parents, I wanted to use you but was outvoted by my siblings who wanted to use another attorney they used in the past. When I received the draft from the attorney, I actually used your book to correct numerous oversights in the documents that this attorney had prepared for our LLC.

"I got them all confirmed as of today.  It was SO easy using the tool and instructions. Most companies simply sent me their form back first, but having the certification copies to provide along with cover letter template sealed the deal(s)!" Kerri, an estate planning client, commenting on our Trust Funding Toolkit, which contains editable forms that clients can use to change ownership of their assets to their trust.

"Over the past few years I've talked with several attorneys and none clicked until I talked to Chuck. He is honest, perceptive, efficient, accommodating, and most of all he really knows his stuff. He even seems to know what it is that I'm getting at before I do. When I walk out of his office I feel very clear about my concerns, whereas with other attorneys I felt even more confused than I did when I came in. I will highly recommend him to anyone looking for help with estate planning or administration." Liz

"Very thorough and professional"  

We feel very lucky that we were introduced to Chuck. He is incredibly knowledgeable and really listened to what our concerns and priorities were. We now feel so much better knowing our estate plan is in place and our child will be well taken care of if something happens. As a father, Chuck really understands what is needed and important to plan for. He never talked over our heads, and he didn't push us into anything. Everything was our choice. He explained everything so we could understand what he was talking about and encouraged us to ask questions.   AVVO: Trustworthy           * * * * *   Excellent Responsive              * * * * *   Excellent Knowledgeable       * * * * *   Excellent Kept me informed  * * * * *   Excellent I recommend Chuck Roulet.

“…I would also commend Chuck on the thoroughness and promptness of his work in your situation.  This might be the nicest presentation (including the "plain English recaps" of the documents) that I've seen created.  Nice work and nice personal touch, Chuck.”
