Experienced Legal Services

I just want to say publicly thank you for the work and help. The firm was able to help me trough a big mess and was very informative and helpful. I never felt they did something without asking me about it or showing me what they were doing. I worked with them for a year so please take my review seriously.

“I could not have asked for a more capable or compassionate attorney in John Urness to help me with my Estate Planning and getting my husband qualified into Medicaid. The office staff including his secretary Susan and front office reception, made my visits relaxed and enjoyable. I was completely satisfied and have recommended Mr. Urness to any friends who might require his services.”

“Having recently walked the gauntlet of legal considerations to appropriately protect my father’s interests has been, at times, daunting.  Alzheimer’s is such a wicked disease and progresses with a vengeance.  I highly recommend John C. Urness of Thorp, Purdy, Jewett, Urness & Wilkinson.  During this very difficult season for my family, Mr. Urness has not only been extremely helpful, but also genuinely compassionate about our plight.  After 30-plus years honing his skills as an Elder Law Attorney, Mr. Urness consistently appeals to the ‘human element’ as well.  I hold him with the utmost respect and admiration as we continue down this difficult path my father walks upon against his will.  If you need a true advocate, versed in the most obscure statutes…but ones that might change everything (they did for our family), I can think of no one better suited for the thorny terrain ahead. ”

“I would describe the teamwork of John Urness & Susan Powell as flawless.  They are able to handle important time-sensitive situations and ordinary tasks of counsel with great ease and experience.  What I value most is the leadership of John to guide clients with an ethical edge.  I am always confident in his team representation guided by a strong moral compass.  Many sincere thanks.”

“Kristin resolved a complicated business situation to the satisfaction of all of the parties involved by presenting a novel solution. As in all other tasks (e.g., the creation of a special tax district), she has been invaluable. My experience in working with your firm has been excellent. I have recommended several people to Thorp Purdy by telling them how pleased I am with all the great work Kristin has done for me and my family and for the Friends of the Mildred Whipple Library.”
