Taking care of clients is very important to me. My goal is to give my clients legal services that are responsive to their needs, delivered in a timely fashion and reasonable in cost. Here are some client comments concerning my services.
I attended Terry Schaberg's Church Administration Seminar at the recommendation of a couple pastors here in the Puget Sound area, and am very glad I did. As an inexperienced and first-ever administrator for our small country church, I found the seminar on the legal aspects of church administration to be extremely valuable. The material presented, the associated handouts, and the reference documents provided on a CD were all relevant, informative, and very helpful. And after the seminar, Terry has continued to be a valuable resource and a delight to work with. When asked to provide input related to the donation of property to our church and its subsequent effect on Federal income taxes and property taxes, Terry cheerfully answered all our questions thoroughly and in a very timely fashion. I can heartily recommend Terry to other church administrators and look forward to working with him more in the future.

Terry Schaberg guided me step by step in planning my Revocable Living Trust Agreement. He used terms and explanations that I could understand. Terry is prompt, intelligent, honest, thorough, very patient and always returned by phone calls. I truly recommend this attorney.
Evelyn of Arlington, Washington
With my wife in a nursing home I realized I needed someone skilled in Elder Care. Through a friend I found Terry Schaberg. Through his advice we set a special needs trust for my wife in case of my passing, a power of attorney with my children as attorneys-in-fact in case of my incapacity and a health care directive in case of a terminal illness. Terry took care of the paperwork, but more importantly he listened carefully to what I wanted and made it legal.

Terry Schaberg was of tremendous assistance as we conducted our estate planning. He answered our questions in easy-to-understand language, made some excellent suggestions so all pertinent issues were addressed, and was very prompt in answering our e-mails and phone calls. Terry’s manner was extremely helpful and friendly and his rate was fair and reasonable. We highly recommend him for you legal needs.

Diane and I found Terry to be easy to understand; clear in his instructions and explanation; as well as knowledgeable to both the legal and tax issues of estate planning. His advice and document preparation was specific yet appropriately adaptable regarding future unknowns. This flexibility fits our needs very well.
Jon and Dianne of Camano Island, Washington
Terry helped my husband and me with our Wills, Durable Powers of Attorney and Health Care Directives. We were impressed with his knowledge of the law and his time preparation of our documents. Terry took the time to answer all of our questions and concerns. The quality of his work is outstanding. He organized all the documents, provided us with detailed instructions of how each document needed to be signed and notarized. He made the whole estate planning experience easy for us. It was a pleasure working with him. We are confident in has ability to provide others with the same service and peace of mind.
Cheryl and Todd of Seattle, Washington
Dealing with the death of a parent can be a very difficult thing but you took the fear out of it by your careful attention to detail in settling Chuck’s mom’s estate. Even though we live out of State, you made sure we had all the documents and procedures needed. You also followed up at tax time. A simple phone call often cleared up any uncertainties. Thank you.
Fran and Chuck of American Falls, Idaho
Terry Schaberg was recommended to me by a former classmate as being a compassionate, Christian attorney who would understand and empathize with my grief over losing my father. I found him to be efficient and thorough in helping me to settle Dad’s estate. Throughout the lengthy process involved, Mr. Schaberg did an exceptional job of keeping me abreast of what I needed to do and helping the process to move along smoothly. His frequent counsel eased my mind as thing moved forward and I found his fee to be very reasonable. I would recommend him to anyone without reservation.
Carolyn of Loon Lake, Washington
Terry was highly recommended by a friend, and I was not disappointed. He listened carefully to my needs and problems. He then gave advice that was clear and met the needs I had. He was very courteous, patient and considerate. I was confident that his advice was knowledgeable and appropriate.

Tim and Tress of Winthrop, Washington
Terry was most helpful and willing to get my job completed in a very limited time. He is a person of high integrity and honesty.
Thelma of Everett, Washington
When I retired ten years ago after more than 45 years of self-employment, I desperately needed the services of a caring attorney of the highest integrity who was known to be honest, understanding, thorough and prompt to guide us in our estate plans. I have five children from a prior union and now am married to a woman with three children from a previous marriage. It was and is of great concern to both my wife and myself that our mutual and separate estates be fairly and honestly executed.
Thelma of Everett, Washington
An old attorney friend, now deceased, whose services I had used many years ago once said to me, “A good attorney is a ‘Psychiatrist in a Black Coat’”. On advice from a mutual friend, I contacted Terry Schaberg. Truly he fits that description.
Mr. Schaberg is a good listener, one who hears what is being said, as well as what is not being said. He has a deep understanding of what a client may be unable to articulate, can hear the unspoken need and guide the client to achieve the desired solution. Terry understands the urgency of a client’s needs and is amazingly prompt and thorough in executing the client’s desires.
I would never hesitate one moment in highly recommending Terry Schaberg to any person needing an efficient, honest, thoughtful person of integrity to handle his or her estate planning needs.
