Client Reviews
We got started on this process during a wave of Covid 19, so we initially talked with Donald over the phone. He asked us many questions to understand our situation and our needs. This was all very satisfying and reassuring. He followed this up with a written questionnaire so we could fill in numerous relevant details. One of the uncertainties in this phase was our naming a trust administrator. Donald made some suggestions and we followed up with those firms and were happy to choose one of them to serve this role for us… Donald met with us again, and we signed all the documents and the firm witnessed/notarized them as necessary… We highly recommend the Loose Law Group.
Don helped me do my trust. Very knowledgeable and trusted them to help me with all the decisions. Laura and Rachel are so wonderful to work with. I highly recommend them!
Had the pleasure of meeting Don Loose via a friend and business connection. It is rare that you find superior skill, knowledge, combined with the quality of an individual in one package. A good attorney requires the expressed skill and knowledge of a situation and the correct application of the law…a great attorney requires being a superior individual…this is what you get with Don. He also has a quality team.
… Mr. Loose heard what our concerns were with our current estate planning documents, implementing all that we had discussed, and we executed our updated documents with the assurance that our beneficiaries will have less to deal with down the road. Loose Law Group handled our estate planning with ease and professionalism…
My friend was dead on regarding Loose Law Group as a good choice. Don and his staff are very courteous, knowledgeable, and provided guidance and direction throughout the entire process. Don’s knowledge of Estate Planning in Arizona is superb…
Don recently updated and amended our Trust, and he and his entire staff were both highly professional and personable-they made us feel like we were members of the family…
My husband and I needed to update our Trust and had a few Complicated scenarios. We met with Don and he helped us find a simple solution that gave us more flexibility…We will definitely use Loose Law Group again!
This is one of the best attorney offices I have ever experienced. Everyone that works there is helpful and friendly, and the attorneys are all extremely competent. I have done everything from Wills to loans… I highly recommend them.
I can’t say enough good things about the Loose Law Group… Mr. Loose was informative, kind, and so helpful with his extensive knowledge and experience. I’m so glad I was led to this firm and I highly recommend them.
