DeMent & Marquardt, PLC

Charlie helped me with a Medicaid and Special Needs Trust problem for my daughter yesterday. I'll be requesting to work with him from now on. He's kind, patient and very knowledgeable. He knows how to explain things and didn't talk way over my head. Great experience for a nervous Mom.

My husband and I created our full estate plan with Tyler - the process that seemed overwhelming to us before we met with him was made much easier and much less intimidating as he guided us through the process and decisions we needed to make. I would 100% recommend Tyler for anyone considering setting up an estate plan.

This office is wonderful, prepared, knowledgeable, and understanding of our needs.

The team at DeMent & Marquardt helped with estate planning for my parents, my wife's parents, and now ours. They are always there to answer questions and have helped guide us through some difficult times. We are very thankful to have such a great and reliable resource in a city the size of Kalamazoo. Many of the successful people in our sphere of influence recommended this firm and now we understand why. We have seen and heard of others opt to go different routes with their planning only to run into way too much grief and headache. For us, so far so good after working through the loss of 3 out of our 4 parents. It has allowed us to focus on the important side of the grieving process and removes the unnecessary stress we see so many others face. What a blessing.

Recently had a out of state relative pass away. We ended up using Charlie Ofstein at the firm and he was a pleasure to work with. He navigated the mine field of probate for us and his rates were very reasonable. Coming from a guy who owns a business and pays through the nose on legal and accounting fees, I do not make this recommendation lightly. Thanks Charlie and his team for all your work!

Thank goodness for DeMent & Marquardt! My dad started working with Bill Millard to organize his legal affairs several years ago, and it was one of the best decisions he ever made. When I had to take over legal/financial responsibilities after my dad couldn't, Bill was right there to make everything easy and understandable. After both of my parents died (my dad in 10-14 and my mom in 1-16) Bill was there again to help me navigate the complicated process. He also assisted me in finding a wonderful realtor (Rick Crepas - he really went above and beyond as well) to sell the family home, and Bill helped to deal with other assets, such as my dad's car. Charles Ofstein from DeMent & Marquardt helped with my mom's estate and was just as fabulous - it was great teamwork all around.
Here's the clincher - all of this took place took place cross country, as I live in Washington State! What should have been an extremely difficult undertaking was made Stress-Free because of Bill and his team. The Estate has just officially closed, and I couldn't be happier.

I hired Mike Holmes to handle my mom's estate. He's extremely knowledgeable & made a difficult time a bit easier! I would definitely recommend him to anyone! Thanks Mike.

We have had Bill Millard for years. We have been very pleased with the thoughtful, thorough way he handled our trust.

Our family has worked with this firm for years. They have always been helpful, caring and thorough. They have gone above and beyond to help us in a variety of complicated and difficult situations.

Very good service, friendly and knowledgeable
