David H. Lefton, Attorney at Law Attorney at law concentrating in Estate Planning, Probate, Trust Administration and Business Law. Nothing in life is as precious as family. My method is simple.

That is why I take great pride in helping clients establish estate plans that avoid the probate of assets, that reduce or eliminate estate taxes and that settle matters quickly to best benefit the heirs. My name is David Lefton, and in my office, at Barron Peck Bennie & Schlemmer, you are a person – not a file. I treat my clients the way I would expect to be treated. When you schedule an appointment, you will meet with me personally, not a secretary, legal assistant or paralegal. Your emails and phone calls will be returned promptly. You will be treated by me, and my support staff, in a professional, friendly and ethical manner. I view each client as unique, because each individual and family has its own dynamics. We will work together to identify what you want to achieve by discussing your concerns, goals and objectives. I invite you to contact me at 513-399-7526. Contacting me does not create an attorney-client relationship. Please do not include confidential information in your communications. The information on this site is not, nor is it intended to be legal advice. You should consult an attorney for individual advice regarding your own situation. "Advertisement Only".
