Hi,
“We don’t have any experience with this sort of thing, but Christopher Benson has helped us with our estate planning setting up a trust and we feel confident he did a good job. He was very professional and answered our questions. We were really not sure what all needs to get done or what questions to ask at the time of the estate planning because it can become overwhelming, but he was even able to answer our questions after the process was completed months later.”

“Needed an estate plan, mostly to guide my son so that when I pass away he can easily avoid the notorious pitfalls of taking the helm. Chris has created an estate plan that covers everything and in the sensible order that is required. I am so pleased with everything that was done for me. I can now relax and not worry. Great experience! Thank you Chris”

“I have just completed my Chapter 13, and received my notice of discharge. I am VERY pleased with the service of Christopher Benson and his staff. I was treated with respect, as well as having all my questions explained in “understandable” terms. I would highly recommend his office to anyone in need of assistance with debt/bankruptcy issues. In my opinion, there is no one better. All communication has always been done in a timely manner, and with full explanations.

He has taken such a burden off my shoulders in an estate issue… He’s not only given me direction and a solution… but a feeling of his personal involvement in my situation… he is very personal and interested in MY issues.

Excellent choice for Estate Planning
“I was looking for an attorney to handle revising the Estate Plan for my mother as well as setting up new plans for myself and my significant other. Initially, we met with a different attorney and it was obvious that it would not be a good match for us. After doing some research, we found Mr. Benson’s web site and were immediately impressed with the presentation and relevant information. We watched Mr. Benson’s estate planning video on YouTube: Estate Planning and Probate Explained in 7 Minutes by Estate Planning Attorney Christopher A. Benson and the video explained the process and how to proceed.

When we showed up at the office, we were pleased to find that what we saw in the video carried through in person. Mr. Benson is punctual, professional and thorough. He explained the process in easy to understand terms and answered all of our questions patiently. He took the time to explain things to each of us, sometimes rephrasing the answer until everyone had a good understanding of the process.

We proceeded with Mr. Benson asking specific questions to set up the individual requirements for each estate plan and scheduled the next meeting. Mr. Benson collected all of the information he needed during the interview and there were no forms to take away to fill out and return.

When we reconvened, all of the documents were completed and in individual binders ready for signature. He took the time to go over each section, explain the purpose and answer all of our questions. You complete the procedure by keeping the original signed and notarized documents as well as an electronic copy.

Mr. Benson is a very experienced attorney his approach to Estate Planning is to simplify the process and make it understandable. His fee structure is fair and very reasonable.

I recommend his services without reservation for anyone seeking initial Estate Planning or reviewing and revising an existing one.”

“My husband and I have such peace of mind after completing our estate planning with Christopher Benson! We now have a trust set up, along with all the other necessary documents in an organized Estate Planning Notebook. The process was as painless as possible and completed in less than two weeks after our free initial consultation. During the consultation, Mr. Benson outlined the process and answered all of our questions. When we returned to sign our documents, he went through each section of the notebook, further answering questions and clarifying each document. He has thought of everything you might possibly need, and a notebook is a concise tool where all critical information and documents can be easily accessed when difficult situations inevitably arise. We were so impressed with the efficient, streamlined process! We highly recommend the Law Offices of Christopher Benson to make sure you are well prepared for the future!”

“Christopher A. Benson helped me with my Estate planning. I found his law office via internet search and lucked out. The initial consultation was free and I walked away from it feeling that I would be in good hands. Every question I had was answered and addressed in detail. The actual appointment went seamless as all pertinent paperwork had already been prepared by Mr. Benson and his staff. I had dreaded tackling this necessary chore of planning ahead, trying to cover all bases, assigning beneficiaries, setting up a trust, etc. – but it was made easy for me as Mr. Benson explained every step of the process and set up all required documents. The atmosphere was relaxed – there was never a rush – and I left the office with a load off my mind. I would recommend this Law Office to anyone who is looking for help with their Estate planning.”

Excellent Service and very knowledgable
“Chris did an excellent job explaining the benefits of establishing a trust for our wealth and estate planning. He covered every consideration we had from how to protect our assets, establishing a trust, power of attorney, and living Wills. He also explained things we had not thought of which included healthcare and end of life considerations. He used examples to ensure we had a grasp on the topics and answered our questions effectively leaving us with the understanding we were in good hands. He further explained how to change our accounts to the trust and place any new assets into it. Chris also uses technology efficiently. All the documents we covered and signed were in a binder for us to take home and he emailed us an electronic copy before our meeting concluded.”

He was professional, reasonably priced and took care of everything in about 2 hours. He also helped to educate us on maintaining the trust so we could do it on our own.”

“We were referred to Christopher from a lawyer friend who we love but doesn’t do wills. We were not let down!

First, I had a free consultation with Christopher where he explained why we didn’t just want a will, but why a trust would be better for our age (early 30s) and family situation (married, 1 child). A month later, my husband and I were in his office signing documents for our trust.

We liked Christopher because:

• He was clear! He said he’d do anything we liked but walked us through why trust was the best option for us. Sure enough, we agreed and had no problem making that decision.
• He was smart! He explained other options and what-if scenarios for the future (e.g., if we bought property in other states as investments), as well as how we could easily move our existing accounts (like 401ks) into our trust.
• He was concise! Who wants to spend a ridiculous amount of time signing documents or talking about law? Not us.
• He was super friendly! I’m always appreciative of someone who knows their trade but doesn’t talk down to me, and Christopher was that lawyer. He was also accommodating, as we brought our newborn to both meetings, and told stories about his love of the Seahawks and his sweet family. We also liked that although we paid more for a trust than simply wills (which makes sense, since our son’s guardianship, our finances, and our living wills are all included in the trust!), we now get to call Christopher “our” lawyer and can add or subtract things from our trust on an ongoing basis free of charge.

Overall, we’d recommend Christopher without any hesitation.”

★★★★★Posted on June 6, 2017
“During our final appointment when we were reviewing and signing our Family Trust paperwork, we needed to make a critical change to the information. It required redrafting almost 15 different pages; Chris simply smiled and said “no problem.” While his assistant made the changes, he continued with our appointment, and when she returned with the updated pages, he slipped them into place while he continued with his review, carefully explaining every detail and answering every question. The way he handled this interruption was indicative of the entire process. He was calm, friendly, patient, organized, and thorough. And he made sure to invite us to contact him in the future for any changes or questions we might have. If any family or friends ever need an estate planning or bankruptcy attorney, we will be sending them to Christopher. Great lawyer; even nicer person.”

Robert

★★★★★Posted on May 15, 2017
“My husband passed away suddenly last year and my family was devastated. I had no idea what to do or where to begin in dealing with his estate and all of the details. I saw the ad for Christopher Benson when I googled lawyers in Federal Way. I read some of his reviews and took a chance. I was a mess when I walked into his office for the first time, so scared of the process. He was so confident and reassuring that everything was going to be okay. He took over from there and took me step by step through the process. He explained everything in detail and let me know next steps well in advance. The estate is now closed and everything worked out as he said it would.

If I had to do it again, I would still hire and trust Christoper Benson, he has earned my trust.”

“We recently contacted Chris to do an update to our will and other estate planning documents. It had been several years since we originally had met with Chris to establish our estate plan, and it was time to make some updates due to life events. Chris did a review of our existing plan, and offered some suggestions of updates that we hadn’t previously considered, which we incorporated into our plan. The process went very smooth, and we are very happy with the support and service we received from Chris. I appreciate that he takes the time to understand our goals for estate planning, and makes sure those goals are met. We would gladly recommend Chris to anyone seeking a good attorney.”

Great estate planning attorney
“I don’t often write business reviews but wanted to share the excellent experience we had using Chris Benson for our estate planning needs. He was friendly, knowledgeable and thorough. After consulting with him we determined a trust was our best option and were immensely pleased with how he guided us through the process and took care of many of the details himself. A bonus is that it only took two appointments – the first for consultation and the second for signing. We left after signing the paperwork with clear direction on the additional details we needed to tend to, which wasn’t much at all. We happen to be a same sex married couple but would recommend him to ANY couple, individual or family needing help with estate planning. The cost was also reasonable, although the peace of mind he provided is priceless.”

“Christopher Benson understood what my wife and I were needing when we first visited him. We explained what was going on in our lives, for the need to update our wills, power of attorneys for personal and medical care. When we walked out on our first visit we had an appointment for the following week. Our next visit Christopher had all the documents laid out and went over all aspects of the estate planning. The Binder/documents were well organized and very easy to follow as we went thru the signing process. It was well worth our time to have this completed as soon as we could. If there are any updates that will be needed in the future, the office will be able to pull a copy of the estate planning documents and make the necessary changes. If on travel and you need a copy of one of your documents you can call his office and they will send you a copy of what you are needing. This was well worth the time for my wife and I to have this issue taken care of. Thanks again.”

“I became ill while out of town and by the time I made it to Christopher’s free consultation, I was very weak and had lost over 20 pounds. I feared I may have cancer and my wife and I needed an up to date estate plan ASAP. Christopher came thru in flying colors and had everything prepared for us to sign in only a week and fit us in just before Christmas for signing. As a bonus, he also discovered that the rental property owned by my wife and her sister was not titled in a manner which would leave my wife’s half of the house to our daughter upon her death- and he fixed that at the same time. THANKS SOOO MUCH CHRIS!”

Gives me peace of mind
“I searched for a lawyer as I didn’t know where to go, being new to Federal Way. Christopher Benson’s name came up with very good reviews that sounded authentic. I asked for an appointment with him and got it immediately. I was considering changing my Will to a Trust. I don’t have much assets but I’m concern about the possibility of leaving some problems to my family when I’m gone. I had a lot of questions about my existing Will that bothered me. Chris addressed all my questions and explained very well what I needed to do, how he can help me now and my family in the future should a need for his service arise. Our interview made me feel that he’s the lawyer I can trust to do the right thing for me and he will be there for me and my family.

As a result, I had him set up a Revocable Living Trust for me with everything set up to my satisfaction. He provided me with a well prepared portfolio containing all the necessary documents, the complete compilation of all forms for me to fill up for the information and guidance of my family and instructions for me regarding all the paper work I need to do to complete my Trust.

Now I have peace of mind regarding my Estate Planning for the rest of my life.”

I felt reassured during the hearing process, because Chris explained all that was going to be happening. I walked out of the courtroom feeling like an anvil had been lifted off of my shoulders! I’m grateful that I can start over again with a clean slate, thanks to Chris.”

The last Lawyer you will need! You won’t want to work with anyone else again!
“Before using Chris Benson, we had talked with two other lawyers who told us to rather abruptly “just claim bankruptcy.” To be honest we had no idea what that entailed. We had been in business for 35 years and that thought would never have entered our minds. We were humiliated, embarrassed and felt like failures. When we met Chris he was upbeat, compassionate, organized and positive.

We were treated with respect and dignity. He explained in layman’s terms what it meant to file bankruptcy how it worked and that it was for honest people like us that needed help. There were forms to fill out on line and yes it was a lot of information but it was easy to go through it online and his office staff was of great help when there were questions. When we had to appear in court Chris was there early talked with us and sat with us when we had to speak with the judge. We have recommended Chris to others – he is not just a bankruptcy lawyer. We will definitely be using Chris for our estate planning and are recommending him to our family for setting up a trust.”

Simple, straightforward, fast and gets the job done right!
“Talked about the need to file bankruptcy, but when I was served with a lawsuit for medical bills I was on the phone making an appointment to meet with Chris. Best decision I have made, Chris came highly recommended to me and I was not disappointed. My husband and I were able to get in that week and start the paperwork process. Lawsuit was averted, Chris was able to answer all questions and assure us we would get through this. We were able to get that “fresh start” that you hear about and working with Chris and Cindy was a pleasure. I can’t think of any reason not to make the call and see what your options are, you have nothing to loose.”

In the nik of time!!!
“I was overwhelmed with my accrued debt and liabilities that were created from my ex husband. It came to a point where my wages were going to be garnished from two different sources. I have only been here in here in WA for a few years and have no family or support, was barely making it on my own and could not take the time off of work to see a lawyer much less try to pay for one. A friend at work retained Chris and he helped her, she referred me to him and he and his office were able to work with me under a strict time lime to make my Chapter 7 happen in the most efficient way possible. They were able to meet with me after hours and set a payment plan to make it happen. I am grateful for this fresh start and have and will recommend him to anyone in the same situation.”

“After 30 +years with the same wonderful woman and in need of protecting the joint accumulation of assets, We talked with Chris. He explained the importance of the Trust and what it could do to protect what we had worked so hard to build. My lady and I got married and she passed several years later from cancer. Having the trust established and Chris available to help thru the aftermath of a spousal death was a godsend. The complexity of the process is overwhelming and it is the last thing you need at that time of grief. The tax benefits were surprising and extremely helpful. I have enjoyed working with Chris and will continue to do so whenever the need arises.”

Someone who really cares about your situation
“My wife an I met with Chris after a recommendation from a colleague. After struggling with the aftermath of a heart attack and bypass surgery plus loss of income, we had leveraged ourselves to the hilt, spent all of our savings and were upside down in our house. We were working three jobs and still couldn’t make ends meet. We weren’t the “kind” of people who declare bankruptcy. After hearing of our plight, Chris took us through why the bankruptcy laws were crreated in the first place: to give honest people who found some hard times get a fresh start. Yet it was still a tough thing to admit. Chris was compassionate in his dealing with us; continuing to remind us that we were good people who actually had held out much longer than most. It was time to get our life back and to rid ourselves of the accumulated stress. We followed Chris’ advice to the letter and eventually filed for Chapter 7 before the foreclosure sale date on our house. 2014 will be a new beginning for us and we are appreciative to Chris for his gentle touch leading us through the process.”

★★★★★Need a great lawyer? Christopher Benson is your man!
“Our family have used the services of Mr. Benson several times over the last few years. So very helpful, understanding, and stayed “on top” of what needed to be done. He handled the probate for a family member which had 14 heirs, it was complicated and yet the whole thing was handled in a caring yet professional way. We could never had done it without their help. They handled another probate that was again, very delicate, and we never worried. The office kept us informed as the process went along, which was priceless to our peace of mind. We have several friends which we have referred to Mr. Benson’s office to have their wills drawn up and they have been very pleased as well. Can’t say enough good things about this law firm, we will continue to use their services as need arises. Need a lawyer? Christopher Benson is your man!”

★★★★★Amazing to work with!
“I know what you’re saying – all five stars so it has to be fake, right? No. At 35 years of age, I’ve only left reviews for products or services about…hmmm… 10 times? Usually, because they’re worth it. Very, very worth it. Chris and his team (thank you, Cindy!) were with me each step of the way. Chris was personable and knowledgeable and (most important) very patient. We’d met with another lawyer a bit before and she was actually antagonistic. As if we were wasting her time and were basically terrible people for filing for bankruptcy. Chris welcomed us into his office and worked us through each step and answered every single question. After passing along the important bits, his awesome assistant Cindy took over and answered all calls and emails within an hour. I kept apologizing for bothering her so much but she took it all in stride. And, at the actual hearing, Chris was on time and stood right with us – gave us plenty of information on what to expect for each particular advocate (judge? I forget what the court people were called now). Walked us back out to our car and shook our hands – case closed and bankruptcy granted. Never once did I feel like I was bothering him or his office. They even answered questions post-bankruptcy when issues came up.”

From my first initial meeting, he was very helpful in giving me advice on what to do, where to start, etc. He also made me feel much better about the decision of having to file, which was not easy.

“I was at the end of my last nerve with being so deep in debt. I didn’t know what to do, I was advised to do Bankruptcy. But having the fear of something being on your record for 10yrs. I said *NO WAY* I will try and pay off my debts. Then when garnishments came knocking at my employer’s door. I had lost it. A family member advised me to check out Mr. Chris Benson, my first thought was “Oh, gosh what am I doing, and what negative quote am I going to get from this, which could contain another debt.” To my surprise, I walked in his office as if the devil had been riding me forever and when I stepped in his office door he (devil) was gone. We sat down talked about the Pros and Cons, and I would have to say, HECKS YES! If you are down and out, in DEBT. See Mr.Chris Benson.
