We have been a client of the Law Firm of Kavesh, Minor & Otis for decades. Their knowledge and skill in preparing and executing a Living Trust inspires confidence. We appreciate their regular update seminars and the offer of a free evaluation of our estate plan every 3 years. Elaine B.

Their seminar is a great presentation that covers many of the common and not so common scenarios and protection options. I would definitely recommend it for anyone who is thinking about creating or reviewing their trust. Shaune K.

After the passing of both my parents, my father in 2018 and mother in 2020, I decided it was time for me to establish a living trust. The living trust seminar was very informative. I contacted the firm to schedule a consultation with Peter Keon. Peter was very thorough and responsive to my needs in creating a living trust. I highly recommend Kavesh, Minor & Otis to anyone who wants to create a living trust or has a living trust that may need updating. Tracy W.

My experience was great. I attended a seminar and later I met Peter Keon and he answered all my questions . I highly recommend him for a consultation and planning. Maria A.

Kavesh, Minor & Otis were referred to me by a coworker. I went to one of their workshops on living trust and estate planning, and I learned a lot. Peter Keon was incredibly knowledgeable and professional as he guided me through the process. I strongly urge others to work with the Law Office of Kavesh, Minor & Otis for their estate planning and to create a living trust. Maria C.
