Geoffrey S Kunkler is the person to see when you need to prepare for the inevitable. Geoff was highly engaged throughout the entire process. He meet with us on video and phone calls to understand our unique circumstances and he created a plan that was perfect for our family. His firm is highly rated and his rates are very competitive.

He made the process of obtaining all of the legal documents we needed quick and easy. He assisted us with Wills, Durable General Powers of Attorney, Health Care Powers of Attorney and Living Wills. We were dreading getting all of these documents prepared, but Geoff made it very painless.

My domestic partner and myself both required updating of our wills and health care documents. We started off meeting Geoff in his very professional office setting. He took copious notes and we discussed the content and formulation of the proposed documents. Subsequently, we received drafts of the documents to review and later hard and digital final copies. At a later time after our actual marriage, we returned to meet Geoff for some minor revisions of our wills. The changes were relatively simple and Geoff had his staff provide us with draft documents while we sat. The final documents were provided several days later. As a retired attorney myself, I appreciated the fact that Geoff was extremely professional and yet not overly formal. We were additionally impressed that he was a member of a highly reputable legal firm. Overall, my wife and I agreed that he was someone whom, in the future, we could trust and rely on for any future needs.

Geoff Kunkler has been my attorney for elder law and estate planning for more than 5 years. During that time he has guided my husband and me through some difficult situations with expert knowledge. He is highly responsive, reliable, and a consummate professional. I strongly recommend him.

Geoff was great and able to make a tedious process much easier than expected. Appreciated the choice of (2) office locations and his willingness to meet person to person vs virtually only.

Geoff helped my family through a big transition. He walked us through the process and provided clear guidance and explanation of all options as we considered our path. Geoff was a great guide and helped us wrap everything up quickly. I couldn't recomend him more.

Geoff put an estate plan together for me to and I was very pleased with the entire process. About a year or so after that I got married and had my wife go through the same thing. Geoff and his assistants did a great job of thoroughly and professionally handling everything, and more importantly explaining it all. After our great experience my wife and I trusted Geoff to refer my mother-in-law to handle some very important matters. We really appreciate the way he handled her concerns.

Geoff and his team were exactly what I needed when setting up my estate. Everything was quick and easy, and now I'm hiring them again to help me handle other legal matters. Would recommend them to anyone looking for legal advice!
