Attorney Owen Rassman combines big firm qualifications with small firm accessibility. With degrees in tax (LL.M.), law (J.D.) and business (M.B.A.), Opelon’s co-founding attorney, T. Owen Rassman, is uniquely qualified to bridge the often overlapping areas of Trusts, Estates & Probates.Â
Whether you are in need of an estate plan for your family and loved ones, or are the trustee or beneficiary, Owen has the experience and qualifications to counsel you from start to finish.
At Opelon, our services extend beyond our qualifications. Owen strives to build lasting relationships. At Opelon, you will get to know your attorney and feel comfortable asking questions. That’s a promise! Estate planning is done on a flat fee basis, so questions are encouraged.Â
Trust administration is billed hourly, but the initial consultation is free. Probate fees are set by the court. Our business model is built on providing quality service at reasonable rates. If our clients are happy, we are confident they will refer friends and family. It is as simple as that.
