John Lane was extremely helpful from start to finish with our estate planning. He answers his own phone, meets with his clients and prepares all your documents. He is very knowledgeable about the estate laws, and therefore; provides appropriate guidance in what would be the best for your family. His fees are reasonable for the expertise and final product that you receive from John Lane. We were very pleased with the outcome of our estate planning and highly recommend John Lane for any estate planning needs you have.

John provided me with great service and expertise when handling my parents probate hearings. He made the process simple and not to harrowing,
Both my parents passed with very old, out of state wills and John handled all the difficulties derived from outdated paperwork and made the process run smoothly. I really appreciated his speedy handling of my parents estate.
I would highly recommend him for any estate planning needs you might have. And I will be referring him to family and friends.

John helped my wife, Dee Thomas, and I redo our wills, powers of attorney, medical directives, etc. He also suggested we use a transfer on dead deed (TODD) which allows us to bypass probate and save our heirs time and money...great suggestion! He is an excellent attorney and very personable. We highly recommend him!

John guided my husband and myself through the process of writing a will. He was insightful and offered suggestions for simplifying the will. He is very down-to-earth and made us feel comfortable immediately. I wouldn't hesitate to consult him again for other matters.

After a big move from California to Texas and the subsequent passing of my husband, I needed changes to all my estate planning documents (trust, will, etc). John was very professional and knowledgeable about the different requirements needed. He was so kind in his dealings with me and went to great lengths to explain what was being done and why, especially concerning Texas requirements vs. what I had in California. Very reasonably priced. I highly recommend John Lane.

My co-worker referred me to John Lane and I am so glad I took her recommendation. He was very personable, easy to to talk to, and knowledgeable about all the questions I had for him. He not only gave me various options, but was also up-front on cost --- no hidden fees or "if" and "but" about it. He was also very accommodating to my schedule. I have already recommended him to family members.

I could not be more pleased with John Lanes’s help with estate planning. He actually came to the hospital to help us out when we needed it most,, and that is a level of caring that I will always remember and appreciate. He checks on my husband now and then as well. I have peace of mind and know he is there if we need him.

My husband and I recently moved from out of state and we needed to make sure our will and trust was valid in Texas. I was referred to John and we couldn’t be more pleased. John took the time with us to explain everything that we needed to change or update. He was patient and thorough and we’ve already recommended John to someone...the bottom line is we will continue to recommend John to others.

My living trust needed serious updating (power of atty’s, etc.) and John did a great job in summarizing and explaining the seven amendments that were needed. He was very personable, easy to understand, professional and knowledgeable in estate planning.. He was also fairly priced for the work that he did on my trust. I had many questions on the draft documents he provided, and John was very patient and thorough in his answers to my questions. If you have any estate planning questions or needs, I would definitely recommend him.

My husband and I found John through a referral. He was very sincere and forthcoming with possible solutions to our problems: protecting our assets and guidance regarding medicaid. We would recommend him to anyone who needs assistance in understanding elder law issues.

We had estate and will planning on our "to do" list for years. We enjoyed meeting with John because he is easy to talk to. He asked us the hard questions and helped us think through different scenarios so we could come to the best decisions for our wishes. He is very knowledgeable and understands each individual/family has different situational needs/concerns. He turned a dreaded task into a fun and easy experience. We have a new friend in John!

My wife and I had been putting off our estate planning for a number of years. When we finally began to get serious we searched the local north Austin area and found John M. Lane's Law practice with very solid reviews. We reached out to John and he could not be more supportive, informative and professional in ultimately setting up our family trust. He walked us through the process and took the time to answer our questions so that we had a clear understanding of what we needed and what was best for us and our family. We have recommended John and his team to our friends and would happily recommend the John M. Lane Law practice as it was online postings like this that introduced us to his outstanding council.

We went to John to fix our wills, family trusts, etc. We had hired another firm to do it and they were all wrong and not what we wanted. John fixed it all, explained it all to us so we could understand "legal speak" and made sure to personally guide us through the entire process. I highly recommend the John Lane Law Firm to anyone needing help.

Having witnessed several heartbreaking family relationship breakups due to the lack of having a will in place that stated clear, unambiguous intentions of a deceased family member, my wife and I were determined to make the division of our inherited property as straightforward as possible. We did not want to have our children or anyone else put the difficult position of having to decide how everything would be divided when that time comes. We took a stab at writing our own will but we had numerous questions and uncertainty even with extensive research.

We made an appointment with John to discuss our intentions, ask questions and show him our document. John proved invaluable in illustrating on his white board all the possible legal options with pros and cons for each option along with hybrid possibilities. John is highly knowledgeable and able to make complex concepts easily understood.

After meeting with John, my wife and I were then able to make a confident, informed decision keeping our blended family out of any difficult decisions and possible family strife.

John and Charlee Lane are a husband and wife team that is professional and they care.

Working with an attorney - for whatever reason - can be an intimidating process. John and his team are great! Laid back, easy to deal with, and very prompt/courteous. Highly recommend.

HANDS-DOWN – Mr. John Lane is your ticket. He is FANTASTIC!!!

If you are in need of an attorney for your estate planning: HANDS-DOWN – Mr. John Lane is your ticket. He is FANTASTIC!!!
We were concerned about updating our wills and needed a good attorney. We Googled for the best estate planning attorney and John’s name popped up. We called three attorneys and he was the only one that returned our call. The other two calls were retuned three and four days later.
We made an appointment.
We arrived at his office, were warmly greeted and promptly brought into his office. He was very cheerful and immediately made us feel at ease. He has a great personality, great bedside manners, and very professional. He took the edge out of a difficult situation explaining all our options. John patiently answered each question that we had without ever coming across as patronizing. His manner was warm and open, and it seemed more like having a conversation with a friend. It felt great to have our questions answered so confidently and in layman's terms.
We came in with a three page will and ended up with a binder. Yes, John is very thorough. He covered everything we wanted and things we hadn’t thought about. He covered it all:
 Last Will and Testament
 Statutory Durable Power of Attorney
 Health Care Power of Attorney
 Medical Directive
 HIPAA Authorization
 Declaration of Guardian
 …and more

Mr. Lane made the whole situation a more pleasant experience!! I HIGHLY recommend John Lane!!! If you are in need of an attorney for your estate planning, again:

HANDS-DOWN – Mr. John Lane is your ticket. He is FANTASTIC!!!

When faced with the need of a good attorney for what I considered a very important life decisions on family law, and I found difficult to find an avenue that met my requirements, I interview several Lawyers in the Austin area. John Lane was firmly the best pick and I am very happy with the results. I changed some of my original ideas when discussing with him, he proved to have some times a neat and better solutions in many aspects.
Several attributes I valued are:
He was not afraid to bring in different alternatives that I could not ever thought of.Showed his skills working with people and stuck with me all the way to the end to my full satisfaction.
Together with his high professional competence, I applaud his attitude of loving what he does for a living as well as placing always my interest first. His final package is impressive.
Very good Lawyer; competent; compassionate; that produced for me the best possible results.

My wife and I have been delaying setting up a will and other end of life documents for several years. We were referred to John M. Lane Law, PLLC by a trusted adviser. John proved to be just the person we needed to walk us though this process. With only two meetings and a little input on our part John provided us with the documents that we felt met our needs and addressed situations that we had not even considered.

I would recommend John to anyone based on his ability to explain different options available and situations that could occur. He is thorough and completed our documents in timely fashion..

My husband and I needed a will/trust since we were getting older. I found John's name on the Nextdoor app after several people in Crystal Falls recommended him. We met John at his office and had a connection immediately. He was very friendly, knows the business and offered us several suggestions as we have land in Texas and Mississippi. He was very knowledgeable about the laws and guided us through this very important task with such ease. I would definitely recommend John to anyone needing a will or trust.

My Dad unexpectedly passed leaving my Mom with many concerns on how to handle the estate and property left behind by my Dad. Because Mom had suffered a stroke a few years earlier, she unable to cope with this tragedy alone. Being her son and also not knowing exactly how to proceed forward, we were lucky enough to have found John Lane through a referral by a close friend. I can not say enough about John and his true dedication to help others in these tough times. Because of my Mom's mobility, John came straight to her home without hesitation. John is a true professional, and handled all of our affairs with kindness while at the same time, applying his deep knowledge in estate planning. John is not just a lawyer, he is a 5 star person which I would recommend to anyone.

I can't say enough good things about Attorney John Lane. He has helped me every step of the way in handling my recently deceased husband's will and with the creation of a new will for myself and my end of life planning.

He has been a truly caring and compassionate person. I didn't know what to do and he guided and advised me on various options. He listens to you and allows you to make decisions with confidence.

I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs estate planning made simple. He has a through knowledge of the law and can give a lay person simplified solutions in these matters.

Meeting John Lane was a true blessing. From the moment we sat down at our very first meeting, it felt as if I had known Mr. Lane all my life. He was easy to talk to, warm, friendly, kind heart-ed and was truly interested in what I needed. He took the time to get to know me, my family, my situation and my concerns before any legal documents were drawn up. And for this, I'm truly thankful I was introduced to him.

I consider John Lane a true blessing. I attended one of his Estate Planning seminars and quickly learned how unprepared I was. And not just me...but my entire family. I was raised in a typical-Hispanic household in a small, Texas border town, where the man, in this case my Father, was the sole provider and Mom stayed home to raise the kids, cook, clean, etc. Money was tight for a family of six, but my parents made it work. They had little in savings and limited assets. Fast forward twenty years...the parents are much older and the roles have been reversed. It is now time for us kids to look after them. And I forgot to mention that my parents still live in this small border town along with my older sister who is handicapped/disabled. After the seminar with John, and speaking to him privately, I made it a priority to get their Estate Planning in order, not just for their sake, but for the sake of my disabled sister. You think of "estate planning" and automatically associate this with being rich. Well, not the case. Estate Planning is simply a way to spell out your needs/wishes, legally, so that you don't burden your loved ones with the aftermath once you are no longer here. Leaving these difficult decisions to your kids or other relatives can often times tear families apart. In my family's case, it was important to determine what we, as the children, needed to do to honor our parents' wishes. Who would take care of my disabled sister? Who gets their house? Who gets the money in the bank (not much, by the way)? John met with my parents, at my home in Austin. He jotted down everything they desired. It was a very difficult discussion because no one wants to think or talk about death and leaving your loved ones behind. But after meeting with John, my parents felt extremely satisfied, and more at ease, that this happened and they were pressing forward with getting the legal documents in place. John, in no time, drafted everything up, met with my parents again to obtain signatures, and processed everything. I now have their Estate Planning binder in my possession and we are all at ease knowing that we are prepared. We have a plan, especially for my disabled sister. I also finalized my personal Estate Planning with John at the same time as my parents'. I consider John a true blessing and now a dear friend. I would highly recommend him. He is a very professional individual that genuinely cares about his clients. He provides superior customer service by being responsive, and simply going above and beyond. You will not be disappointed.
