Happy Birthday, John Even. The partner with the law firm Schmitt, Shneck, Smyth, & Herrod celebrated his 41st birthday in a different way on Thursday. He invited about 50 people to a party at the Society of St. Vincent de Paul’s Dan O’Meara Center. They toured the facility, where the non-profit organization processes donations, offers services to the homeless and feeds about 350 people nightly in the family dining roo. The visit resulted in a “very generous show of financial support,” spokeswoman Aimee Dobson said, “to say nothing of potential future support.”
Rebecca Even, the birthday boy’s wife, said her family had visited the central Phoenix facility just two weeks earlier.” We were so amazed by the scope and magnitude of their work that we wanted to share the experience,” she said. “Our guests were all struck with the dignity and humanity with which clients are treated.
“It went great,” John Said. “Everybodies reaction was incredible.” “No one knew they did so much, and they were really touched by the experience.”
"Thank you for my peace of mind, knowing that my estate and medical attention are in place for my children to handle easily. I appreciate your expertise covering areas I was unaware I should address. John and his staff were very professional and efficient in my estate amendment. I highly recommend this office." -Chris February 28, 2025
"One of the best decisions I ever made was selecting John Even to oversee settlement of my mom’s estate/trust. His wisdom and insight on reaching a positive outcome for each family member was priceless. Without his patient encouragement over three years, I would have settled for a bad compromise early on. Each meeting was concise and educational. John only proposed a meeting when necessary, saving our estate thousands of dollars. " -Bradley December 03, 2024

"I enjoyed working with him and his team - everybody was delightful, and they made the process very easy. John is warm and friendly, impressively knowledgeable and explained all the details in simple terms for me to understand. I now have peace of mind about how my assets will be distributed and wishes will be carried out and know that my loved ones won't be burdened by debate, hassle, or financial hardship if I ever end up incapacitated." -Mirelle April 18, 2024
"We have known John Even for many years. So, I will say that he was our first choice. I get many advertisements in the mail for trusts and estate planning and at various prices. I called a few of them. We stayed with John for several reasons. He had a flat fee with us. So there was NO chance of getting billed extra hours for this and that. Which is often the cast once you sign on the dotted line. John was very explanatory about the process of setting up a trust, He looked at all our information. our children, accounts, and many things I had never considered. This was what I needed to get clear on the whole process. " -Thomas January 28, 2024
"Attorney Even and his staff are professional, personable, responsive, and clearly expert in the estate planning world. The time spent gathering our information allowed Mr. Even to produce thoughtful, custom documentation that will serve us well. The print and electronic versions of our records that were provided will make maintaining them, and sharing them as appropriate, very easy...a real plus." -Larrh January 24, 2024
