“Thank you for your services in handling the probate of our son’s estate. Your professionalism and fairness are much appreciated.”
“Mr. Palley was so helpful, kind, courteous and very interested in my issues. Mr. Palley took the time to investigate my issues and respond to me before making any conclusions. He made sure he knew what he was talking about and not just a “for instance” kind of lawyer as the one I had spoken to before Mr. Palley. I am so glad I found Mr. Palley and would highly recommend recommend him for anyone that wants an awesome lawyer that is truly interested in protecting their best interests.”
“It was a pleasure working alongside Mr. Palley on a complex and hostile probate matter. Since then I have referred clients to Mr. Palley and remain comfortable doing so based upon his knowledge, experience and people skills.”
“John Palley has assisted multiple members of our family with their estate planning, probate issues, etc. Each time he has treated each individual as an individual, not just as another client. He has often gone above and beyond what we would expect from any other attorney. He always answers questions and resolves problems in a most thorough, courteous and respectful manner. He is diligent in his efforts to meet all of our needs and is a true professional in regard to communicating pertinent information in a timely manner. I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone who is in need of help in his area of expertise–even the most difficult members of our family (and we have quite a few of those with whom he has worked) feel comfortable and very satisfied working with John Palley.”
“My father needed help planning his estate this year. John Palley drafted a trust and other estate planning documents for my father. He answered our questions intelligently and was very open, understanding, and willing to help. He also answered our emails and phone calls in a timely, polite professional manner. John is capable and accessible, I feel confident that I could go to John in the future and my legal affairs would be done right.”
“John Palley helped me through the probate process when my husband passed away. His knowledge of probate law and estate planning including testamentary and special needs trusts is unmatched. Mr. Palley guided me through one of the most difficulty processes a person can go through. I would recommend him to everyone I know.”
“I’ve been working with Mr. Palley so long time now it is like he is a member of the family. He is a fantastic lawyer and able to simplify very complex issues to help me make the right decisions for all my probate issues.”
“Losing a family member and then thinking about dealing with probate almost by definition means it is not the best of times. Going to Johnson, Fort, Meissner, Joseph & Palley was one of the really good decisions I made. John Palley and Joy Lehman made it all as easy as possible. I inundated them with questions and their answers were prompt, clear and to the point. I certainly trust them to know what they are doing. Everything did go smoothly and everything was explained along the way. But in addition to their knowledge, I appreciated their kindness in what was for me a most stressful situation. Without hesitation, I recommend John Palley and Joy Lehman and I can’t thank them enough for being there for me.”
“You learn a lot about a guy when you play golf with him. You find out about his temperament, honesty, perseverance, etiquette and whether or not they possess any likability. Years ago, I had a few opportunities to play golf with John Palley, one of the partners at JFMJ&P. I was so impressed with him that I hired him to help my family with our estate planning. He was an excellent listener and took personal interest in our situation. During the process, we came to trust his sense of fairness so much that we named him executor of our estate. Weeks after the bill was paid and the documents were in order, he called me to offer some advice regarding a sensitive subject in the content of the will – with a great idea to smooth out a particular transaction. He made the slight (but emotionally significant) change for no additional cost. Highly recommended.”
“Honest, persistent, knowledgable, I hired John to help with a probate situation. I’m out of state and needed an expert to represent my family’s interests in California. The attorney on the other side was a challenge to work with, but John followed up consistently and frequently until things were finally settled. He was honest, very knowledgable and a pleasure to work with.”
“John Palley assisted me with my estate planning affairs. His service, expertise, and customer service were exceptional. I have dealt with many attorneys, through my job, and none were as impressive as John. I highly recommended him and his firm!”

I highly recommend working with John. He is a man of integrity and professionalism.”
“John Palley is numbered among the best! John went above and beyond all of our expectations; and continues to do so. He is very knowledgeable and extremely good at what he does. We found that he is very interested in creating a professional relationship. John knows that a relationship built on trust and communication lasts from one generation to another. Our family estate is being organized by one of the best!”
“John Palley Simplifies the Estate Planning Process John prepared family trust documents for my wife and me, simplifying the complex process for us. John engages in conversation to describe the scope and benefits of estate planning. His informal manner put us at ease while we collectively made important decisions for John to include in the trust documents. Having known John for 15 years, I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a true professional to handle their estate planning.”
“A Thoughtful Communicator John Palley is a true professional. He has an uncommon ability to address difficult questions with concise answers that are easy to understand.
