Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness
We composed our family trust and personal healthcare directives with Jim and he performed a thorough and comprehensive assessment of our requirements for a reasonable cost. When changes needed to be made a few years later, they were updated at a minimum expense.

After I met and talked to Hugh Jackson before retaining him, I thought I had found myself a winner; he talked a good game but he turned out to be just a legend in his own mind...

Hugh only asserts himself with his clients; in court he's meek as a kitten. He dragged my case on and on and on...

...until all my resources were gone to legal fees.

Because of a family trust dispute, I worked with Mr. James Efting of the Jackson and Efting Law Firm. From the first moment, he was professional and had years of experience and insight to offer. The case went on for over 2 years and he was always available to advise and guide me through the rough periods. I always felt through this process that I had chosen the right attorney to represent me. After a grueling trial and much guidance from my attorney, I was notified that the judge had ruled in our favor. He continued to support me thru the agonizing possibility of an appeal. In the end, even though

I used Hugh Jackson for a divorce and was very happy with his services. He knows his stuff and how to resolve issues quickly. He is the type of attorney that really stands by his clients and not the type to drag things out so you end paying an arm and a leg is legal fees.

I trust Hugh's expertise so much that I have referred others to him as well as he is my "go to guy" for recommendations and advice several years after he successfully completed my divorce.

I have also used James Efting for estate planning and wills and found James to be quite good as well.
