David prepared a comprehensive estate plan for my wife and I. His work was professional and he made what can be a very challenging activity relatively easy. David takes the time to be sure every point he makes is clear, and is always willing to answer questions when needed. I would certainly recommend his services for anyone needing his help.

Exceptional Estate Planning Experience with DRS Law

We had an outstanding experience working with DRS Law and David Schneider (David) on our estate planning. From the very beginning, David took the time to educate us on what an estate is and explained all the associated terminology in a way that was easy to understand. His thorough approach made us feel both comfortable and confident throughout the entire process.

After preparing our estate, he carefully reviewed it with us page by page, ensuring that all our questions were answered. His patience, professionalism, and dedication to making sure we fully understood everything were truly impressive.

If you are considering estate planning, we highly recommend DRS Law. David and his team provide exceptional service, making what can feel like a complicated process smooth and stress-free. We are grateful for their guidance and expertise!
