Testimonials

"For more than 25 years, Jeffrey M. Verdon, Esq. has been presenting on comprehensive estate planning topics to public and private groups around the world. His audiences consist of affluent families and business owners including comprise high net-worth successful investors, real estate developers, business owners, CEOs and officers and directors of publicly held companies, doctors, and other professionals who are at high risk for lawsuits.

"Mr. Verdon also lectures regularly at local and national law firms, providing accredited CLE programs on Asset Protection: An Overview of Offshore Planning Strategies and U.S. Tax Compliance.

"You were certainly the most exciting and imaginative estate planner whom I have ever met. I learned more about estate planning than I learned in law school, general practice and my years as a judge all put together.

"You are exciting as a speaker and your theories on comprehensive estate planning are important to both lawyers themselves and many of their clients.”

— Honorable Richard Neely, Chief Justice Supreme Court of Appeal, West Virginia


Comprehensive estate planning is about protecting the family legacy from both unnecessary death taxes and from future lawsuit predators and creditors.  The latter part is rarely done by most estate and trust lawyers. Recently, Jeff was invited to speak the San Francisco Estate and Succession Planning Group and has presented before numerous Provisors groups on this subject matter.

Stephen Lovell, the program chairman, was kind enough to share his reaction following Jeff’s: “Jeff’s presentation replaced fear with conviction. He outlined the various ways investors could and should protect their assets. His strength as a speaker stood out in the Q&A session, where he spoke with authority and clarity.”

— Stephen Lovell, Program Chair of the San Francisco Estate & Succession Planning ProVisors Group
