Candice is a knowledgeable and concerned lawyer who understands how important proper estate planning can be, and she is committed to helping families with young children protect their assets for the future. I wholeheartedly recommend Candice.
Candice's down-to-earth style, relaxed personality and eagle-eye attention to detail makes her an ideal attorney and family legal counselor! Candice provides customized solutions to her clients' estate planning needs with a warm yet professional approach that allows her clients to be rest assured that they'll be taken care of if anything were to happen to them or their loved ones.
Candice is passionate about Wills, Trusts, naming legal guardians for minor children, and protecting families from unnecessary heartaches. I've had the pleasure of getting to know Candice personally and professionally over the past 3 years and would recommend her enthusiastically to anyone in the Portland area, but especially for parents of young children who will especially appreciate her focus and approach.
Best Medicaid attorney ever. Gave Actionable and timely legal advice for difficult coverage issues. She knows this area of the law better than anyone.
Highly Recommended! Candice helped my family with our guardianship and estate planning. It was such a relief to have her support with creating a plan for our children! We were unsure about choosing a guardian and she was patient and understanding with us during the process. She offers a level of personal relationship that wouldn't be the same in a big law office and this made us instantly feel comfortable. I highly recommend Candice to any family who wants the personal attention that she can offer.
Candice IS our family and business attorney. We've used Candice for all of our legal needs for the past many years, including estate planning, business partnership establishment, and much more. She's thorough, responsive, and extremely helpful, going the extra mile to deliver documents, help in a time sensitive situation, and advise in unusual situations.

One less thing to worry about. Our child was a few years old by the time we sat down with Candice to set up an estate plan. We had put this off primarily because the idea of tracking down and gathering so much information and paperwork was over overwhelming to me. However, we knew that this was something we had to do. When we met with Candice the first time, she was able to help us focus on the exact information that we would need to find in order to start planning. Knowing what I was looking for made the process a lot easier, and it turned out that I didn't need to track down every single piece of financial paperwork I'd ever received. Candice gave us the guidance and information that we needed to make decisions that had seemed so hazy to us, prior to her explanations. We also appreciated the work that she did to communicate to the people we selected as our child's gaurdian, and are now very comfortable that our child will be provided for should anything happen to us. We also really appreciated that she had a notary available on site. I've heard people talk about how much better they have felt after they've finally finished this process, and I have to agree to its truth. I feel even better knowing that Candice is always available to us as our family and financial situation changes.

Thorough and Enjoyable Estate Planning Experience. We used Candice to do our estate planning. The experience was smooth and enjoyable from beginning to end, taking care of everything we needed to have in order and more. The care and attention to detail was so comforting. On top of that, the personal interviews that were included for our children, should anything happen to us, was just so thoughtful. It gives me so much peace of mind to know all is in place. I would highly recommend Candice for other parents who haven't done their estate planning yet.

I am a single mother who was able to set up a plan for my daughter in the event that the unthinkable happens, with Candice's expert, compassionate help. She makes what seems at first like an incredibly daunting task feel very manageable, even to a person with limited resources. Candice not only reviews each family's situation very thoroughly, but looks ahead to what circumstances might change for us in the future, explaining all the different variables. I am grateful to feel reassured that my child will always be cared for, with my plans in excellent hands. I cannot recommend her services highly enough!

If you are in need of eatate planning or other legal services I highly recommend Candice. She is thorough, passionate, kind, empathetic, and incredibly affordable. Candice really cares about helping families. I trust her judgment and her sound reasoning, as well as her guidance.
Candice truly cares about helping families, and she knows her stuff. Her workshop helped me understand the type of planning I need to do for my own family and our future. I highly recommend attending one if you're unsure if you need legal help with your will - especially if you're a parent.
Candice has been trained by my organization, the Family Wealth Planning Institute, specifically to meet the unique planning needs of families with young children, which most lawyers completely overlook. If you want a plan that will ensure your children are taken care of by the people you want, in the way you want, no matter what, you've found a great lawyer to support your family.

Candice guided my family through the estate planning process professionally and with care. We felt well taken care of as well as confident in all of our decisions. I can not recommend her more or enough.
Not only good at the legal and emotional sides of estate planning for families, but provides substantial, ongoing support as situations change. My family has worked with her to set up documents to support our values and decisions in the worst of scenarios, and I've watched her support friends of mine as they've gone through the loss of their own parents, and never has Candice acted with less than the highest of compassion and professionalism.
Candice is brilliant attorney and a dear friend. Her unique practice focuses on the planning needs of families with young children, and frankly there is no one better at it. 13/10!
Candice helped me consider the unthinkable: leaving my children under someone else's care because of my own demise. She brought light to a situation that I never want to consider but absolutely want to have an ironclad plan in place in my absence. I sleep better at night knowing that she has helped me protect my family by putting legal documents in place to guarantee a smooth transition in one of life's worst of circumstances.
I have known Candice for several years. She is compassionate, articulate and knowledgeable about the services she provides. I have no hesitation recommending Candice.
Candice Aiston is one of the most capable, dedicated, and ethical attorneys I have ever come across. Her legal knowledge, analytical capabilities, judgment, communication ability and legal experience are equaled by none in the Portland area.

Candice is an incredibly compassionate and dedicated professional and human, and I consider myself very lucky to know her. Please consider her business for estate planning needs, and take the time to read her bio for a bit of background on why she is so passionate about her line of work.
— Sophie Lord
I highly recommend Candice for estate planning (this isn't just for wealthy folks). She is concise, compassionate, straight forward, and incredibly well informed. There is much to think about regarding what happens if/when you die. Don't leave it for your family or the state to figure it out.
— Jenna Tegner
“Candice is top-notch. She is prompt, professional, and easy to work with. Her fees cover reviews every three years, so don’t cheap out and get a plan somewhere else for $1,500 that you’ll have to redo again in 5 years. Her plans are all inclusive. And for heaven’s sake, don’t go to some online site. You need personal attention when it comes to the law.”
Ms. Aiston is always quick to reply with very accurate and intelligent responses and continuously proven to be of the highest integrity.
