Testimonial

My husband and I had a very positive experience with Peter Leon of the Kavesh, Minor, & Otis Law Firm. We met with Peter to update our Family Trust and he skillfully addressed many concerns to resolve family issues. Peter is professional, devoted to his work, and always available to answer any questions. We highly recommend Peter to take care of you and your Family Trust. Helen C.
Attorney Jane Lee from Kavesh, Minor & Otis is the best trust Attorney. She helped me create my trust in I think 2018 and every three years I have been going back to their office for the review update. Attorney Jane is kind and patient. She helped me review everything and got all updates done. Everyone should go see her for all of your Attorney needs. M&M Team Reality
Attended a a free seminar several years ago and decided to use this law firm to set up our trust. Things have changed since we first did our trust and we thought we better revisit it and are glad we did. Our Attorney Peter, pointed out things we forgot about and may want to change. He answered all our questions and was knowledgeable. Definitely recommend anyone interested in creating a trust to at least attend one of their seminars. Regina H.

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.

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.

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.

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.
