From the initial phone call from Scott, to the final review and signing of all of our documents with Bernard, they explained every detail, with patience, to us. We truly appreciated their thoroughness, personal attention and time they spent with us.

The thought of estate planning was very daunting for us but with Sumner & Associates, they made it very easy, and now we are confident that we have everything in place.  We highly recommend Sumner & Associates to anyone in need of estate planning services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sumner and Associates was wonderful to work with. We were building/updating our wills/trust, working from 2 states. The team was patient with our setup, very informational on combining our existing (and non-existing) paperwork, and made sure we left with everything needed and more for anything that may arise.
