Hal Prukop

I am an Army West Point (U.S. Military Academy) graduate and military veteran who actively served nearly the entire 1980s in the U.S. Army, attaining the rank of Captain, after which I attended law school in San Diego.  I have been licensed since 1994 and have lived in the Pacific/Inland Northwest since 1997. 

I am licensed in Idaho, Washington, and California, and greatly enjoy helping my clients achieve their Estate Planning goals or whatever they desire when we meet.  

I have found that “cookie-cutter” approaches do not work.  I highly customize all documents for my clients so that they are specifically tailored to their wishes and express the intent they want, whether in a Will, a Trust, Power of Attorney, or any other document. I also litigate Guardianships and Conservatorships where someone’s finances or healthcare decisions are at issue, and in particular represent Seniors in many of those cases, as I am a Certified Senior Advisor.  Finally, I settle the decedent’s estates by providing Probate Administration services and thus help an often grieving family deal with the loss of a loved one by settling the estate in an efficient and caring manner. 

My job is to work hard, provide you with the Peace of Mind and complete satisfaction you deserve, and achieve a meaningful result.  Kindly contact my office for your free initial consultation.
