Verified ClientHired Law firm 2026About 5 years ago I wrote my review of Nelson Keshen (click on Testimonials and Reviews) after engaging him to make changes to my estate planning documents. Recently I had to make a few vital changes focussing on Successor Trustees & adding a Co-Trustee. Mr. Keshen is the only attorney whom I trusted to make those changes which entailed amending each of the several documents, e.g., Revocable Living Trust, Durable Power of Attorney, Health Care Surragate, Living Will. Everything that I wrote 5 years ago about him remains true. One more comment that I need to make: He kept me objective. During our discussions about the needed amendments, I at times suggested changes made from an emotional viewpoint. His sense of compassion along with his knowledge of applicable laws resulted in amended documents that addressed what I need & what protects me. I hope that my life does not change so much that further amendments are needed but if it does, Nelson Keshen, who has earned my respect & trust, is the only attorney I will contact.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
