Before my mother died, she had her will drawn up by a high end law firm and named me Power of Attorney. After she died, I got sick and tired of trying to navigate this high end law firm’s voicemail system to figure out next steps. I found Duensing Law through Google and was shocked when Matthias actually answered the phone live. Matthias is professional and responsive. He consistently stays in touch to let me know exactly what is happening and when I send him an email, he gets back right away. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Matthias – he’s fast, professional, respectful and gets the job done right.”
