My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with each of the staff members at Sowards Law Firm as we set up our Trust Fund. Each of them were very professional and personable. They explained the process and all parts of the trust in terms that we understood. I would highly recommend using Sowards Law Firm.
We used Sowards to update our trust and it was an easy and clear process. Everyone we dealt with was very knowledgable and very nice. I would recommend.

I had a great experience working with Sowards Law Firm for my estate planning. I had been putting this off for a while because it felt like such a massive task, but they made the whole process surprisingly easy. The team is super professional but also very approachable. Highly recommended!

I worked with Sowards Law Firm to create my estate plan and trust, and overall I had a very positive experience.
After completing their intake form, the team truly handled everything end to end. Mr. Sowards himself took the time to walk me through the different trust structures and helped me choose the option that best fit my current situation as well as my long-term plans. That guidance was extremely valuable and gave me a lot of confidence in the decisions I was making.
Following that, Hailey and the rest of the team were outstanding—very responsive, professional, and patient. They answered multiple questions, accommodated changes during the process, and worked closely with me to ensure the trust was structured exactly the way I wanted. Once things were underway, the entire process moved quickly and smoothly, and everything was completed within about 2–3 weeks. They even accommodated an earlier signing appointment due to my travel schedule, which I really appreciated.
The only challenging part of the experience was scheduling the initial consultation. The firm is very strict about having the intake form completed by a specific deadline before the first call can be scheduled. I missed providing some information the first time, which resulted in my appointment being canceled, and the next available slot was nearly a month out. That was frustrating, although to be fair, it was due to me not submitting the requested information on time.
That said, I do think the intake process could be clearer. It wasn’t obvious which information was critical for the first meeting versus what could be completed later. Clearer guidance there would make the onboarding experience smoother.
Overall, once past the initial scheduling step, the experience was excellent. The team is knowledgeable, efficient, and genuinely cares about getting things right. I would absolutely recommend Sowards Law Firm to anyone looking for a well-thought-out estate plan and trust, especially if you value long-term planning and professional guidance
