“I met Ken in 2014 when I needed to discuss an issue about an elderly friend. From our many conversations, we knew a guardianship would be needed. When the time came, I called Ken. He always took my calls and when I needed him he was always there. He’s knowledgeable, his voice helps you understand what’s going on and he truly cares for people. I have referred friends to Ken for their elder law needs.”

“The Bennett & McClammer elder law team provided us with clear and customized guidance in estate planning, which is complicated by blended families and land conservation interests. We have very much appreciated their insight and patience.”

“Sara is wonderful to work with – I highly recommend her! She walked me through the process of estate planning from start to finish, answered all my questions, and was very flexible. For something as important as estate planning, it was important to me to work with someone I trust, and I know I’m in great hands with Sara.”

EMI

“Working with Sara has been an absolute delight. Originally she helped me with my husband’s estate. She was efficient, reasonably priced, and very caring. I really enjoyed working with her. Her assistant, Terri, also was very helpful and was available to answer any questions I might have. Next, Sara helped me with my estate planning so my sons will not have to worry about matters when I die. After that, Sara handled my mother’s estate. Again, she was wonderful!! If I were to ever have any estate or probate issues, I would immediately call Sara. I feel that in addition to finding an excellent attorney, I also found a good friend.”
