My wife and I are in our late 70's and we decided it was time to set up a family trust…read more We had no idea who to use when a friend recommended Stephen Carpenter. That turned out to be some of the best advice we have ever received. The basic concept of the Trust is simple, but the implementation and details can quickly get overwhelming. Fortunately Stephen and his legal assistant Lorie were available to help us every time we needed it. With the amount of work involved, we were pleasantly surprised at the final cost. It was very much worth every dollar for the peace of mind to know that our final wishes will be carried out as we intended.

Incredibly unprofessional experience with McDonald Levy & Taylor. This firm drafted a will for my…read morelate uncle, naming me as the executor. However, upon his passing, I discovered the will was drafted so poorly that it failed to grant the executor the explicit authority to sell his real estate. Three separate title companies and three independent attorneys all confirmed that the document was flawed. I was forced to go through the court system to obtain an order just to fix their mistake and legally sell the property. When I brought this to the firm's attention, Whitson Smith admitted the error and assured me they would take the necessary steps to address the issue. Instead of resolving it professionally, the firm hit the estate with a surprise bill for over $3,000 to fix their own drafting error. To make matters worse, Mr. Smith threatened to file court motions to halt all disbursements from the estate if we didn't pay them immediately. Since making that threat, he has completely dodged three phone calls and two emails. If you want competent legal drafting, reliable communication, and ethical billing practices, look elsewhere.

This is in relation to Kathy H at this firm. She was recommended to my mom to help develop a new…read morewill after the death of my dad. She was also helping with Power of Attorney forms. My mom attended the first meeting by herself and came back with signed forms. My sister and I reviewed with my mom and we had questions . My mom set up a second meeting to make adjustments and asked me to attend and my sister would attend on the phone. I met Kathy and she was very rude at the start. She did not shake my hand introduce herself or make any effort to acknowledge I was there. My mom introduced me and we sat down. In conversation Kathy was giving her option and my mom did not understand what she was saying. I started talking to my mom and explain and Kathy ' shushed me' and held up her hand for me to stop talking. I sat back until Kathy gave me permission to speak. I was respectful only because of my mom or I would have walked. I took time off work to support my mom. The next day my mom is reading the will and is was typed up wrong! I would NOT recommend this firm if you expect respect in how you are treated.

She tells you one thing in her office or on the phone and does the complete opposite in court. She also worked deals with the opposing council that does not benefit you at all. They prey on the weak spouse to line their pockets & "act" like they care but they don't care at all. All she wanted to do was make quick money while working deals on the side. You will NOT get true, caring lawyer in this firm. All lies and deceit. I honestly have no idea how they sleep at night and they are mothers.

He kept telling me I was never going to get the amount of money I was asking for. He seems very new and not very helpful. He let my ex change paperwork and never informed me about it. I almost singed for a lower alimony amount then we had agreed. He never told me there would be closing cost with assuming my mortgage. So I didn't know to try to get that included. I didn't cheat, steal money and lie. I was very generous as 50/50 as could be. I felt like my ex should have paid Brock not me. Promised to do some simple paperwork but got very upset at me for telling him how I felt. Not professional when under pressure at all. Never got the paperwork he said he would do either. Don't count on him to inform you. Do you own research on EVERYTHING!! Worst lawyer I've dealt with. Cost me a ton in losses. If I could give him a zero I would.
