TESTIMONIALS

"Ron Anderson assisted us with converting our assets to a Revocable Trust. We found him to be professional, efficient, knowledgeable and personable. We had not met him prior to this but would highly recommend him. We found everyone in the office to be of similar ability."

David

"Ron did an excellent job with my personal situation that I needed legal services for. He kept me well informed, was very professional yet showed that he cared about me and my financial situation--not seeing me as just another client that is paying for legal services. Ron gave me great advice and didn't pressure me on anything. I would highly recommend Ron!"

MD

Stacey

"Ron Anderson was not only a wonderful & knowledgeable lawyer for my legal issues, he is also a compassionate person. Ron knows the law, he was outstanding during my legal issues & very impressive. I referred my neighbor to Ron and she too was thrilled with his service and with the overall experience also. I knew Ron was on my side and he was straight with me too. Ron is my lawyer for life! I highly recommend him."

Ron is very competent, conscientious, trustworthy, and gives great attention to detail. Ron can be depended upon to handle a variety of small business and personal legal matters in a professional and timely manner. I have only praise for Ron and his firm and will continue my business relationship with them."

David, Clive, Iowa

"Ron, it was wonderful to work with you! I was very pleased with the quality, attentiveness, and responsiveness of your services. You helped me feel hopeful about my situation, even though I was 'David' going against 'Goliath.' And best of all, you helped this 'David' prevail! You have earned my most enthusiastic recommendation."

P.M., West Des Moines, Iowa

"When my daughter died we contacted Ron Anderson to help in setting up her estate to avoid probate. In doing so Ron was prompt, friendly yet was very professional. Ron also updated our Will and set up a Special Needs Trust for another daughter. Ron was always available on short notice if we needed any questions answered. I would recommend Ron for any personal legal matters."

Jim Schreck

"I had the opportunity to work with Ron Anderson to settle my recently deceased sister's estate and to initiate her trust administration. Despite the fact that this was an intensely emotional and difficult situation in which I found myself, Ron made the process smooth, efficient and as painless as possible. He was patient while I worked through all of my questions and took extra time to ensure I understood what was needed, why it was needed and what the next steps were. After the estate was closed, I used Ron again to redo our trust and estate documents to ensure our own children would be taken care of in the event it was necessary. He provided excellent guidance and direction on how to set things up to ensure they met our intent. I would highly recommend Ron for any of your estate planning needs."

Erin Barfels, Chief Human Resource Officer

"Ron Anderson has been an incredible resource and advisor to my husband and me. He takes the time to understand our legal issue and genuinely cares about helping us resolve it. Thanks to Ron, we have peace of mind that our estate is in order."
