My wife and I chose them because their reviews are very good and I agree with all of the positive reviews. Highly recommend Kane & Crowell for estate planning.read moreread less Neil7/11/2026 - As parents of children that are still minors, we wanted to ensure they were taken care of if anything ever happened to both of us, financially and by naming caregivers. This was our first experience working through creating a Trust and Will and Angel Kane was absolutely wonderful to work with. She and her assistant, Janice, were very patient, willing to explain each piece and very responsive. When we had questions, they were always willing to set a meeting and talk through the details to ensure our documents expressed exactly what we wanted them to convey. They were also very flexible in setting dates and times for us to sign, as we traveled over an hour to reach their office. During the signing appointment, Angel took time to ensure we understood what were were signing and when and how the documentation would be utilized. They provided us with electronic copies of everything and printed copies in an organized binder for our records. While setting up legal documents that plan for your estate after you die can be a little overwhelming, Angel and Janice made it a very simple process. It is nice to know that our kids and us are taken care of long into the future and that Angel will be there if our family ever needs her and her expertise.read moreread less Jami6/05/2026My husband and I have been extremely pleased with the help Angel has given us in preparing our Family Trust. She has explained everything in great detail every time we have had any questions or concerns. She's always willing to help. She has been exceptional in helping us. Her knowledge and professionalism is admirable. We recommended her to our daughter and son-in-law who Angel is now in the process of helping them with their Family Trust. We HIGHLY recommend Angel to anyone who is in need of any of her services. We're sure you will be as pleased and satisfied as we are.Debbie & Wayne Fletcherread moreread less Debbie6/04/2026Working with Kane and Crowell was a very pleasant experience. New to the area and to the state, I needed to update my estate plan (will, trust, POA etc) and Angel Kane was excellent to work with. As a parent herself, she understood my needs and concerns for my children, and explained her guidance and suggestions to me - that I felt were prudent and wise counsel. I found her to be a very good listener, sincere, and while knowledgeable, not too 'business-like' that felt impersonable. I would go back to Angel most definitely, and equally so, I would highly recommend her. In addition, Janice Dillard, who is Angel's paralegal and office manager is also a true pleasure to work with. Experienced, organized, competent and very communicative with the firm's clients. Can't say enough about my experience with Kane and Crowell ... I am very grateful.MSCread moreread less Marian5/26/2026

You are more than a client to them and they make sure to address every need and question you have with care and professionalism.

There’s no other place I would recommend for your peace of mind.read moreread less Hope5/15/2026In seeking out an estate planner, I was incredibly fortunate to find Kane & Crowell, PLLC. Angel Kane, specifically, handled the preparation and execution of my estate planning documents, Including my Last Will and Testament, Durable Powers of Attorney and Advance Directive. Angel listened to and understood my wishes, providing the insight and guidance I needed to help ensure that my family can comfortably navigate the legal landscape upon my aging and passing. I am truly grateful to her and her assistant, Janice Dillard, who responded to my questions timely and willingly. Thank you for the excellent work.read moreread less Pam4/11/2026
