From our first meeting, John Lane patiently walked my wife and I through what could have been an arduous estate planning process. He answered our many questions, sometimes, the same questions, thoroughly and at a level we appreciated. John is very articulate, professional, and personable. Not only do we highly recommend John's services, we will count ourselves as returning clients, if the need arises.
My wife and I highly recommend John Lane and his excellent staff! We recently sought legal counsel with John M. Lane Law, PLLC, to handle our estate planning needs. John Lane prepared our Last Will and Testament, Durable Power of Attorney, and Medical Directives for both my wife and I. John was thorough and professional in preparing these important documents and was informative in explaining their legal meaning.

Are you a "mature" American age 65 or older, do you care about someone who is, or do you anticipate becoming a mature American yourself? If yes, then you are in good company. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Americans 85 and older are the fastest growing demographic group and, right behind them, 79 million baby boomers are moving into retirement age themselves.
