Tailor-Made Estate Plans

You, your family, and your legacy are unique. Whether you are planning for long-term care, providing for a special needs child, or preserving your children's inheritance, find an attorney who can craft the individualized estate planning strategy you need. Don't go to someone who also practices business law, family law, or some other branch of law while doing estate planning on the side.

Find a lawyer who never uses a cookie-cutter approach for resolving matters of probate or Medicare planning, or resorts to using a rote formula for writing up your estate plan. The estate planning attorney should tailor each estate plan to your specific goals, whether that includes ensuring you can afford a nursing home, take care of a special needs child, protect your child's inheritance after a divorce, and more.

Referred by Others

You should see what others have to say about the lawyer. You should use one that has been referred by, at least, hundreds of people. Visit the lawyer's website and see if hundreds or thousands of others have had great things to say about the lawyer. There is no greater way to evaluate a lawyer than what others have had to say about him or her and their services.

Well Done!!

We certainly enjoyed our participation with John Farrell in our estate planning. John's knowledge and experience led to a seamless transition for us. Everything was distilled to one notebook for easy usage. Well done !

A Personal Touch

We attended a free seminar to better understand how to plan the next stage of our life and felt comfortable that John knew how to help us get to where we wanted to go. John seemed to have a personal touch that dealt with our situation as we know it today. John has helped us make decisions the way we want it to be in the future. We have seen the problems an unplanned death can have on their loved ones after the grief is gone. We trust that John has thought it all through and has helped us get this off our "bucket list"….we know our five children will appreciate this in the future !

John was so polite and professional. He spoke to me in layman's terms. He answered all my questions. He didn't hurry me.

Best of Cobb

Estate Planning Author and Speaker

By working with an attorney who regularly writes or speaks about estate planning, you'll see an attorney who is on top of changes in estate planning laws. As an example, I've written a couple of different books on estate planning. One is tailored for a Georgia audience and is titled: Estate Planning for the Modern Family: A Georgian's guide to Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney. The other is similarly named and ranked as a # 1 new release on Amazon. Additionally, I routinely hold seminars to educate the public on important estate planning topics such as how to protect your home and family from the Probate Court.

About Kennesaw

Kennesaw is a city in Georgia and part of the Atlanta metro area. Nearby, the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park preserves a Civil War battleground of the Atlanta Campaign, and also contains Kennesaw Mountain. Downtown, the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History contains a collection of artifacts and relics from the American Civil War, as well as from railroads of the state of Georgia and the surrounding areas. The Smith-Gilbert Gardens feature 3,000 plant species, contemporary sculptures, a historic home, and varied classes. Locally, is Swift Cantrell Park with playgrounds, trails, and picnic pavilions in a 130-acre recreation area including dog and skate parks.

Kennesaw was known as Big Shanty from its original settlement in the 1830s until 1887. It became Kennesaw under its 1887 charter. As the railroad was being built in the late 1830s, shanty towns arose to house the workers. A grade up from the Etowah River became known as the big grade to the shanties, then Big Shanty Grade, and finally Big Shanty. Kennesaw is noted for its unique firearms legislation in which every head of household residing in the city limits is required to maintain a firearm, together with ammunition.
