What Our Clients Say
________
Doug W.
My wife and I have been working with Nick Maggard and Maggard Elder Law for a long time. I can honestly say that Nick is extremely knowledgeable, professional and thorough. He has helped us work out our family trust and he has been there for us through the years to keep it updated and in good order. We trust Nick’s advice without question and highly recommend him.
Lee M.
Nick really helped me get my affairs in order and was patient with me throughout the process. He was so good at explaining legal issues. I now have a living trust, a will, power of attorney, living will, and advance directives.
Aileen T.
My husband and I used Nick a few years ago to create our living wills and trust. Nick listened to the needs my special needs children would have as adults and made sure to build appropriate protections into our trust. He was very good at explaining things in a way a novice would understand and I felt that his professional fees were fair. I would recommend Nick to anyone looking to set up their affairs or to help a loved one who needs to get their estate in order.
