We had a very good experience working with Moulton Law for our Trust. It's complicated work, and it was great to have a... local office to visit for our appointments. Jenny went over all of the documents thoroughly and efficiently. She answered our questions, made changes as needed, and made sure we understood and were comfortable with the documents we were signing. She is a great resource!read more

We signed and received our paperwork from Jenny Hubbard, the paralegal at the Kennewick office. We were impressed by... Jenny's knowledge of exactly what needed to be done and how. She did a remarkable job of explaining everything, and also giving us written instructions so we could later complete what we needed to do. She was also able to correct minor errors and reprint pages immediately to make the documents perfect. Meeting with her in Kennewick was vastly better than having to drive all the way to Spokane to do this work.read more

This firm is without a doubt the best and most hardworking we have ever delt with in our 80+ years. My wife and I just... spent two hours with them in their Kennewick office reviewing our restated and updated trust which they originally produced for us in 1999. It is completely updated to make provision for changed laws and for changed we required. All this is provided annually for very modest expense if you take advantage of their Customer Care Program which allows for annual review or less often if you desire. The excellent attorney we use is Michael Gunning and his superb legal paralegal Jennifer Hubbard. They also generated two separate trusts for our children primarily to avoid taxes for them. We couldn’t be happier with their performance and services!read more

This review is a retraction to the 2 star review I posted 3 days ago. I did some research and discovered that my... in-laws had used their middle initials when they signed documents to purchase their house in 1977. When it was time to sign the forms to deed the house to the Trust in 1991, they signed the papers using their full middle name. Melissa was telling the truth about receiving the Real Property Deed to Trust. Mathew from Moulton Law stepped in to get to the bottom of the situation. He contacted my realtor and her title company to see what they needed for a clear title. I'm happy to say that with a phone call from Mathew to the County Assessors office, we are ready to put our house on the market with a clear title. Thank you Mathew for responding quickly to our needs. You deserve 5 plus stars.read more

My father-in-law paid Moulton Law in Spokane to prepare a Trust. In January my Father-in-law passed away. We had our... 1 hour meeting over the phone, not in person, on February 2nd with someone from the office to discuss the Trust. We were told that the house, my father-in-law owned, had been deeded to the Trust and that a realtor may need a piece of paper from them (don't recall what she called it) but we were clear when it came time to sell. Fast forward a month and a half, now it is time to put the house up for sale. Each week for the last 7 weeks we have commuted 6 hours round trip from out of state, cleaning and emptying out a 2900+ square foot house with double garage and shed. We have spent hours talking to and finally hiring a realtor just to find out we were LIED to. Our realtor notified us that the house had NOT been deeded to the Trust. We worked hard to get the T's crossed and the I's dotted and now we have been told it is going to cost us $1500 and we can't even get an appointment with the office for 3 weeks. I have a couple of problems with Moulton Law Offices. The first one being... Why didn't they follow up with a 2 minute phone call and ask my 80 year old father-in-law where the deed to the house was? Granted it was his responsibility to follow through with the plans of the Trust, but I know he paid a pretty penny to this office for this Trust and the fact that they didn't check up with him is questionable ( no follow through). My second problem... We were not told on February 2nd that the transfer had not been completed, we were told the deed was there. If we had known on February 2nd, we could have started our probate proceedings, and then maybe we would have come out with clear title around the same time we finished getting the house prepared to sell. Now our grief is going to be extended as we get to go through all of my father-in-laws personal information with a new law office.read more

We had wonderful success having Matthew prepare our estate planning documents! We were offered a free consultation via... phone where we discussed the documents we would need, after which we agreed to move forward with the process. Matthew sent us a draft via email and we responded with all changes we thought were necessary, then a few days later we met at the Moulton office to sign all documents and they were explained to us in depth. The entire process was quick, easy, and offered at a very fair price. We will definitely be recommending Moulton Law Offices to our friends.read more

One of the greatest gifts my parents gave me was to set up a Living Trust, Will, and advanced directives with Moulton... Law Group. During the course of my nine years working with Moulton (from the time of my mother’s passing to the death of my dad) Mr. Matthew Luedke, Attorney At Law was always there to answer my questions, make sure I met deadlines, and help me make informed decisions. His staff was also there for me with my last minute clerical requests. I definitely recommend Mr. Luedke. He made going through a difficult situation easier.Denise Luceroread more
