1.  One Fixed Fee.
Your complete estate plan is done for one fixed fee.  Our sophisticated clients do not wish to review lengthy, itemized monthly billing statements to make sure we are doing our job correctly and efficiently.  We offer a comprehensive product, delivering tremendous value, at a simple and fair fee structure. 

2.   We’ll Get It Done.
We take the initiative to make sure your plan is completed on time.  You don’t have to stay on top of us to finish the job—we promise to shepherd the process through to timely completion.  If you’ve ever started the estate planning process only to see it stall, you know how meaningful this distinctive is.

3.  All-Inclusive Value.
The Legacy plan is all-inclusive.  With your fixed fee, you get the full range of possible estate planning strategies and techniques.  You never have to make a cost-based decision whether to utilize an optional strategy.

4.  Trusted Advisors.
You will experience a different lawyer-client relationship.  Lawyers and clients both want a trusting, comfortable relationship.  Unfortunately professional relationships are always affected, and very often damaged, by the hourly-billing component of the traditional engagement.  Freed from minute-by-minute time-keeping, lawyers and clients develop a trusting relationship that fosters better service and better estate plans.

5.  Unique.
The Legacy Plan is one-of-a-kind.  We are confident our simple flat fee is a dramatically preferable way to complete your estate plan.  However, we know of no other significant estate planning practice that attempts to do the same.  If our distinctive approach resonate with you, we are confident the Legacy plan is your best choice.

6.  Thorough.
The Legacy plan covers areas, critical to the success of your estate plan, that most traditional estate planning lawyers rarely address.

7.  Long-term Over Short-term.
The Legacy program includes an annual maintenance program, also on a fixed-fee basis, so your plan stays up-to-date year after year.

8.  Potential.
Your legacy is our focus.  Most estate plans center on the negative: How do we prepare for the worst?  How will we pay estate taxes?  We address these issues thoroughly, but we see potential where others see risk.  Your legacy is about so much more than just minimizing taxes, and so should be your estate plan.

9.  Protection.
We are estate litigators.  Most estate planning attorneys have little to no experience with estate and trust disputes.  Ryan Swanson is a notable litigation firm and our estate planning attorneys have years of experience negotiating and litigating estate-related cases.  This experience benefits every estate plan as we anticipate and minimize dispute triggers.

10.  Humanese Over Legalese.
We are not pretentious.  While our offices may have the best view in the world, Ryan Swanson attorneys have a long-held reputation as everyday people.  We strive for excellence in our work, but enter and leave the office as fathers, mothers, bike riders, (poor) hockey players, musicians, and baseball and football fans.
