    Our Difference

    Why families choose
    Hanson Legal.

    We were built with the needs of growing families and dynamic business owners in Southern Oregon in mind.

    What makes Hanson Legal different is not just our experience — it's our approach. As a counseling-based firm built on lasting client relationships, we operate on a fundamentally different philosophy than traditional law firms.

    We don't bill by the hour. We don't rush through consultations. We don't hand you a stack of documents and send you on your way. Instead, we invest in a real relationship with you and your family, because that's the only way to build a plan that actually works.

    Common Questions

    Frequently asked.

    What does an estate planning session look like?+

    We start by getting to know you — your family, your goals, your concerns. There's no jargon, no pressure. We educate you on your options and help you make the best decision for your unique situation. Sessions are typically 1-2 hours.

    How much does estate planning cost?+

    We use guaranteed flat-rate billing, so you'll know exactly what your plan will cost before we begin. No hourly billing surprises. The cost depends on the complexity of your situation, which we'll discuss during your initial consultation.

    What makes you different from other estate planning firms?+

    As a counseling-based firm, we don't just draft documents. We build an ongoing relationship with you and your family, include complimentary 3-year plan reviews, and take a counseling-based approach that ensures your plan actually works when it's needed.

    Do I really need a trust, or is a will enough?+

    It depends on your situation. A will goes through probate, which is public and can take months. A trust avoids probate, provides privacy, and gives you more control over how and when assets are distributed. We'll help you understand which option is best for you.

    What areas do you serve?+

    We serve all of Southern Oregon including Medford, Ashland, Grants Pass, Central Point, Eagle Point, White City, Talent, Phoenix, and Jacksonville.
