  • He is very professional and is very clear in his explanations on all the legal documents. He created a summary describing in layman's terms each line item in the trust.

    My husband and I contacted the Law Office of Matthew Palmer to complete our trust. He was excellent, contacted us back right away, had the paperwork to us within a week to determine our requirements for the trust and had the trust ready to sign within a couple of weeks. He is very professional and is very clear in his explanations on all the legal documents. He created a summary describing in layman's terms each line item in the trust. I highly recommend his services.

  • Richard Manwaring was great! Very helpful, very knowledgeable. He was readily available for me in a moment of need. I reached out to his office and he was able to meet with me the same day! I've already recommended Richard to some of my friends.

  • Richard was very professional, he knew exactly the document he needed to complete for us, was very prompt in getting back to me and was very reasonable with his fee.

    We used Palmer Rodak & Associates for our family's trust - to release funds from our deceased dad's 2 Wells Fargo accounts that were out of the state we reside in. Richard was very professional, he knew exactly the document he needed to complete for us, was very prompt in getting back to me and was very reasonable with his fee. Wells Fargo released the funds once they received the document he prepared for us and I so appreciate the help he gave me!

  • I was impressed by his composure and even more so, his knowledge of military law.

    I consulted with Attorney Manwaring who was very knowledgeable. Although it was a simple motion, or so I thought, he kept his composure at all times and protected my position always. He never let the other attorney impact his professionalism despite the efforts made by the other party and even his attorney. I was impressed by his composure and even more so, his knowledge of military law.

  • I felt like I was in control of my case while receiving competent counsel and representation.

    I retained Layla to assist me with a post-judgment custody case. Not only did she explain everything to me in a way I could understand she kept my costs down by running every possible scenario by me and giving me an estimate of the fees. I felt like I was in control of my case while receiving competent counsel and representation.

  • The firm has always been very professional and forthcoming with information.
    I have used Matthew Palmer and his associates for various issues concerning my son and his disabilities as well as mine and my husband's personal legal matters. The firm has always been very professional and forthcoming with information. Someone always and promptly gets back to me with an answer or an update concerning issues and questions I may have. They do NOT take advantage and are upfront about any costs. In fact, my son's disability case will be handled on a contingency basis and they only get paid if my son is awarded his disability claim. This firm has been beyond helpful in this case even though there is no guarantee they will be paid if my son does not get his award.
