About Williamsburg Estate Planning & John Sadler
The year 2008 is a milestone for attorney John M. Sadler and Williamsburg Legal Associates. Co-founded with Joseph A. Abdelnour (1936-2003) in 1998, the firm proudly serves individuals, families and businesses throughout the Peninsula and Southeastern Virginia.
To celebrate our first decade of success, the firm is now Williamsburg Estate Planning.
Our goal remains the same: To provide personalized, customized wills, trusts, business and estate planning.
Quite simply, this is the only way John Sadler chooses to do business.
A resident of Williamsburg since 1978, John is committed to the long-term well-being of his clients and their loved ones.
The firm remains dedicated to the highest level of professionalism and ethics. John and his colleagues are respected for lending dignity to their clients, the estate planning process, and the practice of law.
As each client's needs are unique, John believes that one-to-one meetings, honest discussions and careful counseling are the foundation of successful estate plans.
John then custom-drafts each client's plans and related documents.
At Williamsburg Estate Planning, there is no such thing as boilerplate, one-size-fits-all planning.
