Reviews for Kenneth R.
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Mr Werner is very professional. He is well prepared for questions and explains himself very well so a non-lawyer can understand. He is very nice and I would recommend him without hesitation.
Mr. Werner has been invaluable to me during two recent sudden deaths of family members. He took the time to answer all questions and also explained the probate process and estate planning (sometimes more than once). He went out of his way to assist me through this process and his paralegal Wanetta Honeycutt was equaling impressive. Since I first met with Mr. Werner and Ms. Honeycutt, the firm has handled all of my estate planning. I would highly recommend Mr. Werner and his team.
I would highly recommend Ken Werner for the services that he provided to myself and my family. Great communicator, very attentive to details and overall was a great experience. His office staff is very helpful and a real pleasure to deal with.
I have used this law firm for seven years for various legal services related to my elderly and deceased parents. Mr. Wood handled my mother's nursing home entry and death. Mr. Werner handled my father's will, sale of his home, and estate taxes.
Very small firm. I am sure they did a great job. They handled everything. Did not explain everything crystal clear in laments terms, but the job was completed with minimal work on my end.
