“When Bob was referred by a family friend, I had the daunting task of handling major estate issues at the age of 32. It was obvious to Bob that timing was critical and the assets, especially bank stock, needed to be secured quickly by funding a trust. Within two years, the bank was sold and the stock appreciated in value three-fold. Within three more years, the bank was bought out again and the value doubled. Without the guidance of Bob, I would have paid substantial taxes on that appreciation.”
Kathleene Hutchins Swanberg

“Your creativity, integrity and vision have been an integral part of maintaining and growing the Butler Family Trusts to what they are today. There is no question in my mind that you have benefited the family not only in estate and tax planning, but in providing your point of view on many issues that we have faced over the last 20 years. Your legal and financial background have been a tremendous help strategically, and with the everyday items that come up when dealing with four generations of family members.”

"Thank you for all the work you did for Stacy and me this year. Having our wills and estate in order brings about a nice peace of mind, and the process we went through with you was so simple and pleasant. That certainly comes as no surprise, as the many clients we have in common are always very openly complimenting you and express the same gratitude. I truly value our friendship and appreciate our professional relationship."
