E. Andersen |
 |
| Attorney, Shareholder, Rated AV Preeminent |
|
|
| As the founder and President of The Andersen Firm, Mr. Andersen’s objective is to develop lifelong relationships with his clients, not short-term engagements. Bill treats his clients as friends because he wants them to be his friends and to count on him to do the very best for them. It is his goal and the goal of our firm to make estate planning, estate settlement and probate an easy, comfortable and enjoyable process to the extent possible. There is no greater fulfillment than seeing a client smile and breath a sigh of relief when all is said and done. The most important things he brings to this whole process–besides all the education, training, experience and knowledge—is being a good listener and explaining things in a simple, straightforward manner without all the legal language and process that can be so confusing. |

| James W. Collins |
|
| Attorney, Shareholder |
|
|
| James W. Collins is an Equity Partner in The Andersen Firm. Jim places a high premium on the value of client–specific counseling and design of a unique plan for each client that will ensure the client’s estate plan works the way the client intends it to work, whether the client is alive and well, enduring a period of disability, or "looking down from a cloud" after life is over. The client in turn places a high premium on controlling, directing, and protecting assets during these same phases of life. The estate planning combination of clearly stated client goals and carefully counseled estate planning strategies becomes a powerful combination indeed. |
