Joseph Gagen, Attorney At Law

Joe Gagen is an outstanding estate planning attorney who consistently displays all of the qualities that are important - knowledge of the applicable law, thoroughness, attention to detail, empathy and absolute integrity. I highly recommend him for anyone in need of estate planning and administration services.

My wife and I asked Joe Gagen to prepare our wills, powers of attorney, and all of the other end-of-life documents that would be needed for responsible estate planning. Joe was very thorough and detailed in his work, and in providing good, clear answers to all of our questions.nnHe also provided very good information about completing the beneficiary forms for our IRAs. These forms are not always straight forward, and he waded through the details to give us valuable information. All of this was covered under his will/document preparation charges.nnWe plan to return to Joe in the future if there is a need to update any of these documents, or if we have further questions. We would give him our highest recommendation.nnJack and Martha Kern

While helping a friend search for an attorney in Austin, was impressed with Joe's credentials and gave him a call, he answered my inquiry within a few minutes. He was direct, friendly, and ready to help with estate planning. Several months later I needed an attorney for family estate matters, I don't live in Austin, but I felt I knew Joe well enough to seek his advice. He assisted in finding me a local attorney with absolute professionalism, care and kindness. I recommend him without reservation.

Easy to talk to, very through, very conscientious, he helped us recognize and address important issues of estate planning that we had never considered. Always personable and pleasant, he answers every question as a conversation between equals, no lecturing or talking down. After working through the estate planning process with Joe, we feel our bases are covered. A great lawyer!

Joe Gagen prepared the wills for my wife and me. He did an excellent job and I highly recommend him. Joe was comprehensive in his approach. He explained the process and what he would need from us to complete the work. He reviewed our documents and walked us through the options for what should be included in the will and related documents, such as whether creation of a trust would be right for us. He was always on time, both for meetings and with drafts of our wills for us to review. We had a particular situation that needed extra attention. Joe recognized it the situation, explained its ramifications to us, and helped us resolve the issue completely. He prepared the will and all the related documents, such as medical powers of attorney. I fully recommend Joe for preparation of wills, trusts and all related legal documents.
