Our Client Testimonials
Many of our clients return to us over the years to update plans, add new provisions, or seek guidance after life changes. Our name has changed over the decades, but one thing has always stayed the same: our commitment to building long-term relationships with families across Alaska and beyond.
We initially set up our trust with Foley & Pearson (Foley & Foley) in 2000. We have always been happy with the advice and service received from this firm and their helpful staff.
Lyndi Trost
We became clients of (then) Foley & Foley about twenty years ago when we became a mixed family with shared custody. Even though parental relationships were good, there were many details to consider, and we benefited greatly from the knowledge and services we received in establishing our estate plan. Throughout the years, as our circumstances evolved, we have been even more grateful for excellent guidance we regularly receive from (now) Foley & Pearson. Of particular distinction is their ability to engage the whole family in sessions so questions and expectations are clarified for everyone in a comfortable environment. We highly recommend Foley & Pearson for anyone considering estate planning, even if you think all you need is a simple will.

Thomas Caldwell
My husband and I engaged the services of Foley & Pearson to prepare a living trust, update our will, and prepare other essential documents. We found the firm to be thorough, professional, and responsive to our individual needs and requests. They handled all the financial and legal aspects and made certain we understood the conditions. Particular kudos to Melanie and Alex, who became more than just advisors. I highly recommend Foley & Pearson for estate planning.
Jeanne Swartz
Wonderful organization! Outstanding staff!
Ric Schmidt
We are very appreciative of the advice, consultation, and the preparation of our Living Trust with the guidance from Foley & Pearson. Our mission almost 20 years ago was to assure that we had an estate plan and Living Trust to ensure the transition of our estate to our benefactors after our death. The assistance of the Foley & Foley staff (now Foley & Pearson) was critical in this process. Chelsea Ray Riekkola was instrumental in her guidance and development and continued maintenance of our Living Trust.
Don Enslow
We set up our Living Trust in 2006 and just updated it with the help of Bill Pearson. He provided great advice and worked directly with our financial advisor to get our Trust updated to reflect 2023 realities. Very professional, timely, and made a difficult task a lot easier.
Kurt Fredriksson
When you need an estate planning attorney here in Alaska, Chelsea Riekkola with Foley & Pearson is the one you want in your corner. Chelsea and her team were a dream to work with as we planned our estate. They were beyond knowledgeable, communication was top notch, and they took all of our concerns seriously. We are now set up and have peace of mind knowing that no matter what happens in life, our legacy is protected.

M. W. Enslow
These are great people and provide an excellent product. I was never so happy as to complete a trust with Foley & Pearson. And to this day, I have never regretted engaging this firm to get my trust done. More should do the same.
Robert Christensen
Excellent organization, reasonable timelines, fair pricing. I am so happy with my experience.
Emma Haddix
My wife and I have been with Foley & Foley and, now, Foley & Pearson for a long while. They have provided us with nothing except exceptional service. We knew basically nothing about wills, trusts, and other such things. The staff patiently explained them to us and their advice was instrumental in developing our trust. We recommend Foley & Pearson to everyone.
