My father in law passed away in Iowa two years ago without a trust. What a disaster and a lot of money spent in probate court. My wife and I said we are not putting our adult children through such a nightmare and waster of money. We checked around and this law firm kept coming up as the place to go for a trust. We met with Jeff McKenna over two meetings and now have a wonderful trust set up for us and our family. Jeff and his staff were all top notch, friendly and efficient. We even had a few legal trust questions left over from my father in law's death that Jeff gave us guidance on. Thank you for making this process easy and understandable.

We have been with Jeffrey McKenna for 12 years and have never been disappointed. We have had multiple documents done and have always felt more than satisfied with the work. He truly cares and will go over and beyond for his clients. I highly recommend Mr. McKenna.

After listening to family members dealing with the loss of a loved one who lacked a will or trust, my husband and I made an appointment with Jeffrey McKenna to make sure our wishes upon our deaths were in conformance with state law and made available to our children from our blended family. Jeffrey listened attentively, asked questions for the first hour, and then proceeded to produce a month or so later the documents we needed to put our minds at rest and present no confusion to our children or medical professionals. We particularly thank him for making matters clear by summarizing, then detailing, and then checking for understanding. We easily recommend this firm .

Recently, my wife and I moved to Washington County and decided it was finally time to get serious about estate planning. We were referred to Daren Barney by the first two people we talked to, so we contacted his firm and are now the proud owners of a Living Trust which suits our needs perfectly. Mr. Barney was exceptional to work with and made us feel at ease from the beginning. His personable, and friendly nature took all the stress out of the transaction and we concluded the process in a timely and efficient manner. Because everything I knew about lawyers beforehand came from reading John Grisham novels, I was a little apprehensive going in but was pleasantly surprised. Establishing our family trust was a painless, and even enjoyable experience. The office staff were great to work with too!

As part of everyone's family planning, a family trust is a must. Locating a knowledgeable attorney is easier. If you are reading this, you have already located a knowledgeable family trust attorney, Jeff McKenna. We are new to Saint George and wanted to finally complete our family estate planning. Mr. McKenna was recommended to us by friends. A quick phone call, a simple interview regarding our situation, and voila: Mr. McKenna made the arrangements and prepared all the necessary documentation for our family trust. Mr. McKenna answered all our questions and explained our trust documents in simple terms, instead of some legalese. The entire process could not have been easier. Kudos to Mr. McKenna and Merry Christmas to him and his wonderful staff.

We had a family trust set up in 2006 in California and two years ago moved to Utah. Our financial adviser recommended Jeff McKenna to update and revise our trust. Jeff understood exactly what we wanted, clarified our desires and brought it up to Utah code. We are very satisfied, as Jeff did a great job by adding several features to the trust that meet our needs. We highly recommend him.

We had Jeff McKenna set up our family trust and our wills several years ago. Jeff and the staff were very helpful in explaining what we needed to do. Recently, we had everything updated and once again the process was smooth. Jeff explained everything clearly and his staff reacted quickly and efficiently when we needed changes "on the fly". I highly recommend this law office for anyone working on their estate planning.

Jeff McKenna set up an estate plan for our family. Jeff took a great deal of time to understand our needs and address our concerns. All of the documents were prepared accurately and he walked us through all of them to make sure we understood them. We enjoyed working with Jeff and highly recommend him.

My parents, Daniel and Melva Hahl went in to have a Will and Trust established. Even though they have a small account, Mr. Barney made the procedure easy. He took time to explain the Trust and answer every question.

We started reading Jeff McKinna’s newspaper articles regarding wills, trusts and more. We needed to set up a trust, so we made an appointment to meet him. Jeff possesses “amazing” people skills besides providing expert counsel that is explained to you in everyday language; and he genuinely cares about what he does. We highly recommend him.

Jeff McKenna has been most helpful with creating and maintaining my Family Trust. And he has been most willing to answer questions as they arise over time. Another attorney in their office jumped right into the situation when i needed help with a buyer who backed out of the purchase of my business building and the issue was resolved within days. My thanks to all the fine staff and my highest recommendations for all legal needs. sincerely, Harriet Priska

I had an excellent experience with Mr. McKenna. He had done my Trust 14 years ago and when I needed it updated, I didn't hesitate to call him. He had wonderful and helpful advice and answered all my questions as well as those of my family. Thank you so much.

Ron Hill is Amazing!!! He did an Awesome job of educating my wife and I about having a Will and Trust. He never once pressured us into purchasing his service it was all about education with him. He even offered for us to call if we have any further questions at no charge to us. I am constantly telling people about the importance of Wills and Trusts now because of the education I received from Ron. Call and ask for Ron, he is great at what he does!

Our estate needed some immediate changes to our families Trust and we needed to be assured that our kids and especially my son with Special needs would be properly cared for. Ron Hill was professional, straight forward but very personable. We were able to let our "hair down" and be real. I would definitely recommend this firm to any of my friends and family looking to create a new trust or update an old one.

My wife and I went to visit Mr. McKenna for our first meeting. He was professional, honest, and used our time wisely. He was thorough and asked all the right questions. He explained the process and next steps. We met with him a month later and were able to sign our legal documents. Setting up a Trust and issuing a will to each of us was a great feeling. We have a greater sense of peace when it comes to our children's future and we owe that to this law firm. I would not hesitate recommending anyone to use them for their past, present, and future legal needs. Thank you Mr. Mckenna!

Down to earth service while still being highly professional. I felt like I mattered, and my important topics were explained to me -- not spoken to me.

I worked with Daren Barney to help organize my business. His paralegal, Charlotte, in addition to his partner, Jeff McKenna, were both incredibly warm. I was concerned that my questions would be amateur but all were very receptive and helpful guides in the organization of my entity.

Barney McKenna & Olmstead have helped me in three major areas of the law. Moving from California, my husband and I needed a new estate plan.
From recommendations from a friend, we hired this firm to set it up and we were happy with it. When my husband and I divorced, I hired an attorney from this firm. It was settled quickly. When I received a summons from a couple who had purchased our home indicating that the home had a lot of issues, I asked a Real Estate attorney from Barney McKenna to help me. It was finally dismissed. I appreciate Barney & Olmstead for their help. Joseph Prete, my attorney for this case really went to bat for me.

My experience with Barney, McKenna and Olmstead was for a late friends trust that one of my family members was named a trustee. The original lawyer from a different firm made many mistakes and used lazy legal terminology that left too many questions unanswered. Jospeh Prete was the associate assigned to help clarify and correct those mistakes. He immediately identified several issues that would have lead to multiple delays throughout the probate process. As it is a time consuming process to begin with this would have meant more wasted time and more money that would have been tied up in legal fees. Joseph displayed true concern for the well being of my family member associated with the trust, explaining in detail the responsibilities and possible obligations that may be expected of them as the primary trustee, all the while maintaining a respect for the original trust documents. His prudence was something I truly admired. My family will be back to visit Joseph to have our trust documents produced with great confidence that our families future will be professionally secured and insulated from the calamity of the probate process.

Thankful for a friend who referred us to Jeff McKenna. Jeff is precise and professional. In my first meeting, he asked the necessary questions to assess my goals and to complete my Estate Plan. In our second meeting, Jeff reviewed the plan line by line. He and his staff, quickly tweaked a few requested items, eliminating the need for multiple visits.
Jeff’s years of experience, afforded me an Estate Plan, which is precise and all inclusive. I would give Jeff and his staff a 5+ rating

When we moved to St. George 14 years ago we had a trust we had in California. We talked to Mr. McKenna and he talked to us about differences between states. We had our Trust updated to fit our wishes. We like to check in every 5 or 6 years to be certain that we don't need any changes. Mr. Mc Kenna has been very helpful. His office staff are always pleasant. His Legal Aide keeps things up to date as we need changes by upgrading our paperwork. We definitely recommend Barney, McKenna.

The attorneys at Barney, McKenna & Olmstead are professional, knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. Jeff McKenna and his staff were the perfect fit for my husband and I when we needed to have our trust and other estate documents prepared. Their ability to pay close attention to details and their welcoming demeanor made them a pleasure to work with. We knew we needed to set up a Trust for our family and we wanted to make sure we went to the best attorney possible to make that happen. At Barney, McKenna & Olmstead, P.C. we knew we would be in good hands. I highly recommend that you call and schedule a consultation with one of their attorneys.

We just finalized our estate plan. We are grateful to Jeff McKenna for making it a positive and simple experience. Jeff was very understanding, professional, and knowledgeable. He spent time explaining everything in detail and answered all our questions. He was honest and showed compassion. Jeff is a man of integrity; someone we could put our complete trust in and know things will be well taken care of for our family. He is an outstanding man and attorney. We are grateful to Jeff for his help in planning our estate. We would also like to thank his staff. They are
always warm, inviting, helpful and friendly. We highly recommend Jeff McKenna. In our opinion, you will not find any better attorney.

Jeff McKenna and Charlotte Meinkey were instrumental in getting my mother's legal work updated in a timely and efficient manner before her passing last November. And, they were even more amazing during the probate and settlement process. They also handled a estate settlement challenge in a quick manner under challenging circumstances. I would highly recommend their services to anyone.

Estate planning is not always the most pleasant of experiences, but Jeff McKenna made it positive and simple. Jeff uses terminology that easy for us non-attorneys to comprehend. He also asks the right questions and offers helpful advice in a caring manner based on his significant experience. We had done this previously in California and this was a much more enjoyable and positive experience. The trust and documentation that Jeff created was also easier to understand than our previous trust which will be greatly appreciated when it comes time to implement.

Barney McKenna & Olmstead is blessed with real talent and genuinely personable caring people at all positions. From the ladies who answer the phones and greet you in the lobby through the senior partners you will be treated with courtesy, honesty and top flight competence.

Several generations of my family have been clients since 2007. Our living trusts, estate settlement and guardianship needs have covered NV, UT, CA and I have taken what I have learned from Jeff McKenna's work to MT, effectively moving several offices from state of equity to community property trust applications.

The test of quality contract work is how well it clearly captures and protects the parties' intent and how well it guides future decisions as events change. Barney McKenna & Olmstead contracts have performed admirably over time for my extended family. Plus, partners and staff are available for support and consultation whenever needed.

For trust, estate and guardianship needs in all the states covered by the firm I highly recommend the professionals at Barney McKenna & Olmstead.

I would highly recommend them for both areas of expertise as I know without a doubt that the projects they have helped me with are on solid legal foundations.
