“We recently held an estate and elder planning seminar presented by attorney Phil George of Safe Harbor Legal Solutions at Anacortes Christian Church, and it was incredibly informative and worthwhile. We were especially impressed with the information provided about Medicaid. Like many people, some of us have been misled or were confused on how Medicaid and long-term care planning actually work, and Phil explained it clearly, honestly, and in a way that finally made sense. He covered topics like trusts, probate, powers of attorney, protecting family assets, and elder care planning in a practical and easy to understand manner. What stood out most was how approachable and knowledgeable he was. He took time to answer questions thoughtfully and gave real world examples that made the information relatable.  The seminar was professional, well organized, and focused on genuinely helping families prepare for the future. ACC would highly recommend attending one of Phil George’s seminars or contacting Safe Harbor Legal Solutions if you want trustworthy guidance on estate or elder planning.”  Jill Bowker, Office Manager, Anacortes Christian Church – May 2026

“We invited Phil to our community hall in Maple Falls to speak to local residents about estate planning. Communicating with staff was super easy, and Phil and Connie arrived early to set up for their presentation. Although the crowd was small, the event turned out to be an engaging and informative experience for everyone who attended. People were able to learn more about estate planning and asked Phil questions, which Phil answered thoroughly and with great expertise. It was fun to meet Phil and Connie; they were a dream to work with—friendly, professional, and organized. We truly appreciated their time and wisdom, and we’ll certainly have them back for another event.”  Rebecca Boonstra, Executive Director, Mt. Baker Chamber of Commerce & Visitor Center – April 2026

“Phillip George delivered an exceptionally clear and practical presentation for the Whatcom County Farm Forestry Association. He took complex estate‑planning topics and made them understandable, relevant, and actionable for our members. His ability to connect with a diverse group and answer real‑world questions was impressive. I would gladly recommend his presentation to other landowners and organizations looking for trustworthy guidance.” Jed Dawson, Board Member, Whatcom County Farm Forestry Association – February 2026

“The members of Christ Episcopal Church in Blaine are very grateful for Phillip George’s presentation to us on August 4, 2024.  We found his presentation to be very informative and helpful as we plan for the future. I’ve recommended Mr. George’s presentation to clergy and members of other nearby churches.” Susan Mills (the Rev), Vicar, Christ Episcopal Church in Blaine, WA – August 2024

Phil is extremely thorough, friendly, and takes as much time as you might need to help you understand the process and answer any questions. All of this felt overwhelming before starting and he made it easy for us to understand and feel confident in our planning for the future.
