Testimonials

This office is INCREDIBLE. Lauren Van Gordon, the legal assistant my husband and I have dealt with during our closing process, is so extremely helpful and on top of everything. I truly cannot praise her enough. She responds right away, always provides insights and advice, is super friendly, updates us on a regular basis, and even when we encountered a setback, took it upon herself to stay late, handle it, and fight for us. We dealt with another attorney’s office in Sparta prior to this, on a house that fell through, and they were not even close in comparison to Askin & Hooker. They were always busy, would take hours to get back to you, and didn’t care about fighting for our best interest: all of which Lauren does. I would recommend this office to anyone and could not be happier with our experience!

Dear Bill:

Thank you so much for the many ways that you helped us to “get our affairs in order”. Your explanations helped enormously to clarify any terms that were unfamiliar to us, and the “finished product” is beautiful! We appreciate, and I know that our progeny will appreciate the details and organization even more than we do.

Thank you again – Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Excellent Attorney – Will now represent me on all legal matters, business and personal.

Excellent Attorney – extremely knowledgeable and personable. Very comfortable to deal with.
We used William to update/modify our wills, living wills and other estate planning issues. William did an outstanding job, delivered far more than our expectations, in a very timely manner and at a very reasonable fee. Thanks, William!

Put Todd in Your Corner

Todd and his associates provided me with the advice and moral support I needed to achieve an equitable settlement in a contentious divorce.
