Found Kelly through a estate planning class at the Lafayette Library. Kelly was the only attorney that I was able to ask a specific question and got a direct answer. Signed up with her firm to have a Will, Revocable Trust, and Power's of Attorney drawn up. Have met with Kelly and staff to go over the process, and yes do some homework as well. Just finished our last meeting and am pleased with the outcome. Also knowing that her firm is nearby, is a comfort.
I highly recommend Balamuth Law, P.C. when estate planning. I have had a great experience working with Balamuth Law on my Living Trust. Everything was completed in a timely and professional manner. Kelly is an excellent and knowledgeable attorney, as well as, a great communicator. She was very thorough and helpful in answering my many questions.
Zoe was very easy to communicate with when executing my changes and revisions to various documents. Cathy was always available to answer questions.
In my opinion you can not find a better law firm planning your legacy.
Working with Balamuth Law was an absolute blessing. They guided me through a very emotional and difficult process with compassion, professionalism, and incredible attention to detail. Their knowledge and clear communication made everything feel smooth and stress-free. I felt supported every step of the way, they held my hand through it all and I am deeply grateful for the care they showed. I highly recommend Balamuth Law to anyone seeking a trustworthy and exceptional Trust Attorney.”
Kelly and the team were so helpful in setting up my will, carefully taking me through what could be have been a difficult process. Communication was excellent, and I am very satisfied with the results. I definitely recommend Balamuth Law for your estate planning needs.
I have found Balamuth Law to be Dramatically Professional, Efficient and Knowledgeable.
Kelly Balamuth through her Leadership has established a process and culture that one seldom experiences in the Legal process.
Owner response
Wow! High praise. 🙏 <br>I’m so glad you feel that way and it’s been a pleasure working with you .
Kelly (the owner) is a great communicator and really cares about the outcomes of her work. She practised civil litigation for many years and saw the outcomes of poor planning. Her system of completely understanding your situation first allows her to craft the ideal trust for your situation. You get what you pay for, this isn't a document factory, so expect to pay $4000 upwards, depending on complexity. Cheaper than probate, which is 1 of the 4 reasons for a trust. Others are control of assets and distribution, reducing estate tax ($15mil.), and control of guardianship without the court deciding. You will not regret choosing this law firm for your family trust.
Love, love, love this firm. Everyone is so professional and caring. They are always prompt and organized: ready to help with any questions or situations. So much better than where we originally had our trust done. Highly recommend Kelly and her team!
Owner response
Aww. I just saw this, Kristi. Thank you for your kind words. <3
My wife and I have been working with Kelly Balamuth and her team on creating our Living Trust and transferring our assets to the Trust.
We tried this with two other law firms in the past five years and did not get much assistance and were not able to complete our Trust. But working with the team at Balamuth Law has been a breeze. Kelly and her team (Cathy, Katy, Marti) have explained the process, created all necessary documents, and gave us detailed instructions on how to transfer our properties and banking and investement accounts to our Trust. We have received very nice reminder emails and had a few review meetings to make sure we are staying on track. If you know you need to create a Trust, you will be very happy you made the decision to work with Balamuth Law.
Owner response
Thank you, Don. It has been a pleasure serving you and your family.
No one wants to think about death (or taxes) but Kelly and her team made the process so easy. We now have a very organized, accessible estate plan that is easy to update and maintain. Highly recommend!
Owner response
Thank you, Heidi! “The difference between death and taxes is that death doesn’t come every year.”<br>– Unknown
Everyone in Kelly's office were very friendly and professional.
Cathy & Marti were patient with us in filling out forms and researching information that neither Jossie nor I have a lot of expertise in. I recommend to anyone needing legal help in writing up a trust as well as updating an existing trust to rest assured Balamuth Law can get you there comfortably and inexpensively.
Thank You,
John & Jossie Kolkebeck
We had a great experience with Kelly and Balamuth Law. Kelly and her team explain the trust process clearly and walk through the various scenarios to make sure your wishes are reflected. The most impactful part in my opinion was the way the trust information is presented to the trustees. There is a roadmap that will be so helpful to those administering the trust.
Kelly and her team make the whole process such a gift to the family.
Owner response
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means the world to us to know that the process felt clear and that the roadmap will make things easier for your family down the road. That’s exactly why we do what we do—so families can feel at peace knowing their wishes are understood and everything is in place.
