Testimonials

Snehal B Patil is an exceptional estate planning attorney! From our first meeting, we felt completely at ease and confident in his expertise. He and his team at Indus Counsel expertly guided my husband and I through the often-complex process of creating our wills, trusts, and healthcare directives. Snehal was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, taking the time to thoroughly explain everything and answer all of our questions. He truly made complex legal concepts easy to understand. We are so grateful for his guidance and highly recommend his services to anyone seeking an outstanding estate planning attorney! - Chika E.

We had a great experience of getting our estate plan created by IndUS Counsel. Starting with Snehal who was easily approachable and responsive and who answered all our questions in the beginning and explained the process in detail. Later we interacted with Rutuja and Purva for finalizing the documents. Process was extremely smooth and more importantly they helped us within the short span of time we had to get the plan created. I highly recommend this efficient and professional legal team.

THE PERSONAL FAMILY LAWYER PROMISE

What makes PFL lawyers different?

How you hire us.

We begin with a comprehensive inventory of everything you own, and everyone you love, and consider it all in a working meeting, called a Family Wealth Planning Session, to guide you to clarify your financial life and legacy goals before we draft a single document.
How we plan.

We work with you throughout every life stage to map out the most likely scenarios for you and the people you love, planning for each as your life, the law, and your assets change over time.
What we protect.

Our Life & Legacy Planning process ensures everything that matters most -- from your financial assets to your values, insights, stories and experience -- are captured and documented during your life and cared for over the generations to come.
What you see.

Transparency in our process, and our fees … all of which are flat fees, agreed to in advance, based on your choices and with no surprises, ensuring we stay on the same side of the table - supporting you to make a lifetime of great decisions - every step of the way.
How we deliver.

Our systems help you get clear and organized, overcoming the exact issues that keep most estate plans from actually working when they are needed most. We help you leave your family with a gift of love, and not a mess.
How our plans work.

One-and-done estate plans focused only on money are a recipe for a big mess. We help you throughout every stage of life and be there for the people you love, when you can’t be.
