I am very happy that I was referred by my CPA to Pederson Law Offices to help administer my parents‘s trust. I was so happy with Russell Jokela, I had him update my trust also. He responds quickly to any questions, he’s very kind, and highly educated on the process and administration of trusts. I feel confident that when the time comes, he will ensure my family understands the process.

We just completed our family estate planning with Pederson Law Offices. They were recommended by a few friends based on how smoothly things went after the passing of a loved one. Grant and his team were thorough, detailed, professional, patient, and friendly - everything we were looking for in a law office. We are so grateful for how easy Grant and his team made the experience!

My wife and I have just had Grant Pederson complete an estate plan and related documents including a trust, wills, health care directives, property deeds, etc. Grant and his staff are excellent, very communicative and knowledgeable. They truly care about making sure your legal affairs are completed with excellence! Grant as the owner, has made sure that all of his lawyers and support staff are of the highest level of competence and compassion. Everyone truly cares about making sure our legal affairs are in order. I have every confidence that Grant has completed our documents correctly! I also used Grant to draft my Dad’s documents and to oversee the settling of his estate when he passed way. Grant provided the highest level of expertise in handling Dad’s settlement. I highly recommend Grant Pederson.

Response from owner

Thank you Santa Jeff for such a nice review. Always a pleasure working with you and your wife. Hope you have a great summer!

We came to the right place in July of 1993 for a Trust Account. Couldn't be more pleased than I am today. Our attorney, Todd and staff are exceptionally easy to work with and I highly recommend them to anyone.

Pederson Law gets an A+++ rating from me. I was the designated trustee for my cousin who had established his trust with Pederson Law many years before. I worked with Russell Jokela. From day one until the end he advised and guided me through all the legal complexities of administering my cousin’s trust. Russell has an exceptional mixture of professionalism, legal knowledge and kindness. I was treated with respect and consideration. He is a super communicator-quick to respond by phone or email, and encouraging of all questions. I appreciated his support and his care in advising me on matters pertaining to my legal protection as a trustee. I can’t thank Pederson Law enough for all their professionalism and grace throughout my experience as a trustee.

Response from owner

Thank you Mary for such a thorough and thoughtful review. I am certainly grateful for Russell as such a valued member of our wonderful team, and I am pleased to hear to you were well taken care of. Wish you the best in 2025!

We cannot express our gratitude enough to the Pederson firm! To be able to speak with such knowledgeable experts before waiting weeks or months to ascertain if they have experience with a specific estate planning need (they veritably did!), is truly a hallmark of integrity, professionalism, and commitment to the best outcome for their clients. Grant & Todd hit all the marks, and we look forward to furthering our estate matters with them for years to come!

Response from owner

It was our pleasure assisting you Milan. Thank you for the kind review. Happy Holidays and best wishes!

I've happily worked with the Pedersons for nearly 20 years. Grant's dad drew-up my first trust in 2007. But life changes, as we know, and my trust needed a complete overhaul. Grant is a super guy and a consummate professional who brought order to my can of worms. He fit right in with both my tax pro and financial advisor, the kind of guys who treat you like a friend. Grant turned my problems into solutions. He listened intently, hand-wrote copious notes, added value, answered questions, raised new ones, and baked in the right answers. He patiently explained sub-trusts and other legalese terms for this layman. Grant's business is built on smart, and secure tech. I no longer need a ream of paper, or .pdf files. I just log into the easy-to-use portal anytime. Grant created two dense spreadsheets to manage my personal items. He partnered with my financial advisor several times to help me make wise decisions. Grant boiled it all down to total assets, forecast assumed interest, what if scenarios, and projected distribution plan. I had the 1,000 foot view on a single page. His work and team surpassed all expectations. Grant didn't leave me with just a trust, he handed me my legacy.

Response from owner

Hi Gary. Thank you for such a thoughtful and thorough review! We really appreciate it! Always a pleasure working with you. - Grant Pederson

A great practice! Pederson Law Offices has provided excellent support for my family through all phases of the estate process. In consultation, there is thoughtful instruction, explanation and feedback relating to all estate-related topics and to specifics of client’s situation. I have found this to be the case for all of the attorneys at this office, though I have primarily worked with Grant Pederson and Todd Vigneux. They are experienced, professional, and exceedingly polite. Importantly, they are also perceptive and solicitous as to where a client may need further explanation or clarification on any matter, be it a specific detail or relating to the overall estate process. As a result, I have also felt at ease in asking questions. Office administrator Jake Schroeder is also excellent---ever helpful and great at fielding questions and providing prompt follow-up.

Thanks you, Sid! We really appreciate the kind words and thorough review. We look forward to continuing to assist you and your loved ones through the various stages of estate planning. - Grant Pederson

Russell Jokela helped my husband and me with updating our trust. Russell was wonderful - so patient and explained things until we understood it. Jake the office administrator was also very kind and helpful. I would highly recommend Russell for any estate planning needs.

Response from owner

Thanks for the very kind review Debra. I appreciate you taking the time to do so. I'm very grateful Russell is a part of our team, and glad to hear, though not surprised, that he took great care of you and your husband!

Russell and Jake at Pederson Law Offices were phenomenal. I took my 92 yr old Dad and 86 yr old Mom to grant power of attorney to me over their Trust to support them with their finances. We had some unusual circumstances and Russell navigated us through with care, sensitivity and excellent knowledge. Very professional. Highly recommend!

Response from owner

Thanks so much for the kind review! I’m very grateful for Russell, Jake, and the rest of the team at our firm.
