Testimonials

My wife and I used the services of David Boone’s office to create a living trust. Their fee was very reasonable, much less than some of the other law offices, but their service was very thorough. His assistants even sat with us to call all our financial sources to make sure our assets were properly titled for the trust. Their package included powers of atty for health care, living wills, and clear instructions for survivors, all delivered to us in a neat binder. They also provided optional investment advice as well as the offer of a free annual review to see if any amendments are needed. Very satisfied with their services.

I had just moved to Westmont and attended a Seminar hosted by Attorney David Boone to revisit my Retirement Plans; this was 10 years ago and I have been completely satisfied since. David is a knowledgeable professional who has guided my Wife and I as we initially setup the the various legal documents, including updates over the years, to protect our assets during our lifetime and how to disburse our remaining assets to family all at very reasonable costs.I highly recommend meeting with Attorney David Boone just to find how simple and cost effective it is to work with David as he guides you to the peace off mind you will enjoy knowing your family is protected as you intended.

We met Mr. Boone during a public seminar on retirement and were impressed with the thoroughness of his presentation, as well as his sincerity in wanting to assist others with their retirement plans. We decided to follow up and utilize his office to set up our wills, trust and estate plans. We were both very pleased with the amount of attention to detail that they provided, the down to earth manner in which technicalities were explained, and the well organized final product we received. Best of all was the price we were charged…about half of what we had expected going into the process (after some preliminary research). With wills and trust, I guess the good news is that we haven’t had to use it yet! However, we’re very confident that when the time comes, our next of kin will have a much easier time navigating everything, with minimal legal hassles, than I did when my dad passed. We’d highly recommend David and his team to anyone considering such services…having a plan really does give good peace of mind and we felt confident that David understood us and ensured that we developed a plan that will meet our needs in the years ahead.

My wife and I met David years ago at a retirement seminar in our town. We knew instantly that David would be the lawyer to manage our finances and create our family trust, to assure our assets would pass seamlessly to our children. David is extremely trustworthy and honest, and provides the legal integrity that any family is looking for in protecting their assets. We have made a few changes to our trust over the years and David is always so helpful and concerned about the best way changes affect our future. We would highly recommend David Boone’s firm to take care of your financial needs. He also has financial advisers in his office that have taken care of our investments. This firm does not gouge their clients, like other attorneys we have dealt with. They are current and up to date with changes in the law and finances, without charging exorbitant rates. When ever you have a question, they are always available, with a quick and friendly response, without setting a clock for the time they spend with their client. We are extremely happy we found David Boone to take care of our financial needs.

We heard David speak at one of his retirement planning seminars several years ago and appreciated his knowledge and expertise. In developing an estate plan for us recently, we appreciated David’s patience and thoroughness with us all throughout the process. It goes without saying that everyone needs an estate plan and the necessary documents…but finding someone you trust, and who will take a great deal of time with you, can be difficult. We would not hesitate to recommend David to pull together a plan for your family, which will be tailored to your specific needs. He will explain everything for you in a way that you can truly understand.

My wife and I met David Boone at a seminar that he conducted on estate planning, trusts, wills, etc. We were very impressed with what we heard and decided to meet with him as a follow-up at his office. This subsequently led to him setting up our estate plan. We could not be happier with the service, time and results that David provided on our behalf. We feel that his fees were very reasonable, especially when you take advantage of his free amendments when necessary and free annual document reviews. I have also called David with various questions over the years, and he has always given me his time to address those questions.Our parents also followed our lead and met with David to set up their trusts, wills, etc. If I had to pick one word that would convey my opinion of Mr. David J Boone, it would be “Trustworthy”.

We have known, worked with and called David Boone a good friend and confidante since 2007. David exhibits superb, yet humble expertise which boosted our confidence in him right from the start. He is also very personable and approachable which makes us supremely comfortable in trusting him with our estate planning needs. Best of all, David is forthcoming with his assistance and does this in a very genial and professional manner, never charging us beyond his initial fee. He always responds right away to our requests for amending our Trust documents or answering our questions. It is truly rare to find such humility, humor and humanity in one person; David has them all. Thank you, David! – Ajita & Sharat CHANDER.

Mr. Boone is a class act lawyer. Two years ago my husband and I asked him to help us with our living will and POA documents. Just 2 weeks ago he met with my elderly parents and me in a rather urgent and stressful family situation requiring new legal documents to be created. He worked us into his schedule immediately!! He is polished in his approach and thorough in the work he presents. He brings a sense of calm to the table, is very patient and kind. The respect he gives his clients is noticed and is greatly appreciated. On top of this he has gone the extra mile in helping me with legal advice and could not be more prompt in getting back to me when I have needed his assistance. I have a deep appreciation for and confidence in the work he has done. I will certainly rely on him for any legal needs I may have in the future. Thank you, Mr. Boone!!

I was recommended to this law office so I did not know what to expect or really what I would be getting but after the first meeting it became quite clear to me that we would be dealing with people that has great integrity and sensitivity for their clients. I will be recommending others to do business here so that they can enjoy the warmth and care that we experienced.

David Boone prepared a new will & living trust for us. He spent time determining our wishes & explaining how to achieve them. After he completed the documents, he went through each page with us in detail. Not only is he very knowledgeable, but he put us at ease & made this experience enjoyable rather than stressful. We highly recommend him.

Several years ago I attended a free seminar on Estate Planning given by David Boone that was sponsored by AARP through the Downers Grove Senior Center. His presentation was very informative and ended with him saying that his firm offers a free consultation. Years later when I finally needed help with my estate planning, I had contacted several estate planning lawyers who were recommended to me, but found that they charged very high consultation fees. Remembering David Boone, I contacted his office for an appointment not certain of the quality of his free consultation. My Trustee and I were amazed at being greeted by several of David Boone’s professional associates and led into a large conference room. David himself was not able to attend, but made himself available through video conferencing on a large TV screen.Our consultation lasted nearly two hours in which we were given detailed advice on how to proceed as well as other valuable information. Needless to say, we were very impressed with David Boone and his professional associates who gave us more than we expected and would highly recommend him.Arley Harriman

My husband and I really enjoyed working with David Boone and his amazing team! They all made the seemingly arduous task of making a Trust/Will, easy and totally complete. We appreciated their honesty, integrity and very reasonable fee. And, we were called back several years later to review the work we had done earlier, to update the Trust and to reconnect, all for no additional fees. What more could anyone ask for in completing this very necessary part of planning responsibly? We have been thoroughly pleased with David Boone and his team!

Hard to put into words how helpful David Boone and his entire office have been to our family over the years. His knowledge and professionalism are second to none, but more importantly his friendship and compassion during the difficult times has been priceless. Relationships and services like his are difficult to put a price on. Our are entire family will always be grateful to David and his staff for their professional services, kindness and compassion when we needed it the most. His advice on future legal planning years ago made our lives so much easier in difficult times…Thanks David!

David Boone is a down to earth professional with excellent advice for life. I worked with him on a living trust to help get my affairs in order after the passing of my mother and a subsequent divorce. His compassion and understanding coupled with loyalty and honesty make him a great choice for your personal business mentor. I highly recommend him as a person and lawyer. His staff is second to none.

David Boone assisted us with estate planning several years ago and then thankfully helped us with recent amendments to the original documents. When needing documents verifying our trust, David punctually made the necessary contacts and promptly provided the required documentation. Throughout the entire process, he kept us very well informed and we appreciated his excellent service.

My family and I feel David Boone is the Best Estate Planning Attorney in the Chicago land area. We strongly recommend him and his staff. I went to an estate planning seminar many years ago and he did our Will and trust. After many years down the road we had to contact him again to find and revise the documents and fix some issues we had. We had no idea what to do or what expect He picked up right were we left off and did not hesitate to help us. He is so kind and honest and truly cared about us and our estate business. His assistant Karin was so very caring as well. She was so thorough and helpful throughout the whole process. They treated as if we were family. Everyone in the office that had helped us were so very kind. We feel that they always have our best interest in mind and always give us honest advice and guidance. We trust them completely. We want to thank them from the bottom of our hearts for all they have helped us with. Sincerely, Pat A
