Client Experiences

What Wisconsin Families Say

After 40 years of practice as an attorney, I retired. A major part of my practice was estate planning, wills trusts, etc. I had a rather complicated trust issue and with law and tax changes in the 27 years away from the practice, I needed help. I came to know Alex Colwell, an accountant turned lawyer, whose only legal work was estate planning. I was so amazed at his knowledge of trusts, wills, etc. So, I hired him. What a great experience. He is not only a great lawyer in this field, but a great person to deal with. He would come to our home and go over what we needed, how to solve the issues, suggest alternatives to reach our goal etc. As this progressed, he would happily accept phone calls and emails to answer our many questions. And would then bring the instruments over, go over them in detail, and then have us sign them. And compared to so many attorneys, he charges very reasonable fees. I can't recommend him enough.

My wife and I are setting up our end of life paperwork, and after contacting The Colwell Law Office it is a lot easier than we thought. Mr. Colwell is very well informed on procedures and actions to make you think about a lot of things pertaining to items and actions to make your wishes, and hopes, for your people involved with you and that you love, to be as great and fulfilled as you intend.
— P.C.
Very positive and knowledgeable experience. We were looking to set up a trust and asked a personal friend and attorney who he would recommend. He highly recommended Colwell Law Office who he had used. Our meeting couldn't have been better. He explained the differences using a trust over a last will and testament, which we had done many years ago. Long story short he explained the differences and advantages and we set up our trust. He was very detail oriented and made the transition both knowledgeable and easy to accomplish. We would highly recommend him and certainly feel it was a move that would protect our estate and children.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be wealthy to need an estate plan?

No. If you own a home, have savings, or have people who depend on you — a spouse, children, or grandchildren — you have something worth protecting. Most of our clients are everyday Wisconsin families, not the ultra-wealthy.

What's the difference between a will and a living trust?

A will tells the court how to distribute your property, but it still goes through Wisconsin probate. A revocable living trust is designed to let your family skip probate entirely for trust assets — faster, more private, and far less stressful.

How much does this cost?

Full, complete trust-based estate plans start at $3,000, quoted as a flat fee before any work begins — never surprise hourly billing. Your exact quote depends on your specific situation, and you'll get a clear number during your free consultation.

Do I have to come to an office?

Not at all. We meet virtually, at your home, or at a mutually convenient location, anywhere in Wisconsin. Whatever's easiest for you.
