Very courteous. Got back to me pronto. I used Lloyd Welling the attorney for my mother in law's estate. Very satisfied

Lloyd A. Welling Esq was very responsive and handled our family estate with care and speed. We had a few unique issues that he was able to handle quite smoothly. He handled everything from state filings to inheritance taxes including assisting in the sale of a house efficiently and effectively. We appreciated working with him and highly recommend him. He was also very fair on fees. Thank you Lloyd! read more

I had a will and other documents prepared. This was something I had put off for a long time because I expected it to be expensive and complicated. But it turned out this was a great experience. The process was fast and affordable, and Lloyd was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended! read more

I made an appointment to have a Will drawn up for my personal and business assets. I was quoted a price on the phone and he didn't try to add extra charges onto my bill . Lloyd set an appointment with me and worked on the Will. He made many suggestions and corrections that helped me prepare my Will. He also prepared my Power of Attorney and my Living will. I was in and out of his office within 2 hours and I had my Will in hand. I am always skeptical about Lawyers trying to talk me into something that I do not need to have. Lloyd was up front and honest. I will continue to use his practice. Cindy Cohen read more

When we loose our loved ones we are rarely prepared. To add to the pain of the loss someone then has to then struggle through the challenges of settling the Estate of the departed. Recently, I had to say goodbye to my beloved Mother. Difficult enough I found myself responsible for settling the affairs of her estate. What added more challenge to the situation was that Mom lived in Pittsburgh, PA. while I live in Southern California. Suddenly the nightmares of flying back and forth to deal with the issues of her estate were very real. Having no experience and receiving many suggestions of how to navigate the legal responsibilities I decided to solicit help and found Lloyd Welling of American Wills & Estates. He sat down with my siblings and I to explain what to expect. He then drove me to the courthouse to establish my legal standing as Executor. Lloyd was available to take my calls and was always there to answer my questions and concerns. He even made real estate recommendations, and was consistently accommodating to my 3000 mile telecommute. Not sure exactly what I would have done to manage this myself. However, I'm very grateful I had Lloyd in my corner. read more

We had a great experience working with this office. They were very responsive by phone, easy to schedule an appointment and the price was super reasonable. But what we appreciated the most that Lloyd answered EVERY question I had during our visit. Our case was not very straight forward as we had a trust that had been created years ago and we had to figure out what to keep and what to renew, the consult we got was very thorough and exceeded our expectations. Thank you! read more

I wanted to have a Will drawn up for my personal assets. I had called after hours and requested an appointment. The following day Lloyd called me; he explained the 3 types of documents that most of his clients request the Will, Power of Attorneys & Living Wills. With a few questions & answers we're able to complete what was needed. Simplicity at it's finest. Lloyd said he'd have the documents drawn up and mailed out for me to sign. I paid only $175.00 by credit card and we were done. I highly recommend American Wills & Estates. read more

Based on the other Yelp reviews, I called Lloyd Wellimg for a free consultation regarding my father's estate, and how I might proceed. I live in Southern California and my father passed away in Pittsburgh. When I told Mr. Welling that my father's entire estate was under $10,000, he made it clear to me that I was wasting his time. I was trying to determine if I should administer the will or not as due to distance and costs, it would be a significant hardship for me to do so. He did not give me clear information one way or another as to what to do, and raised his voice to me throughout the call. Having to deal with clients/customers in numerous jobs, I was surprised to have been treated so abruptly and unpleasantly. I am the one dealing with grief, as well as having learned that my dad had no will, and learning that I am faced with responsibilities that I did not know about. The conversation shook me up---at the 20 minute point, he told me I was wasting my time. It shocked me and I politely withdrew from the call. I am still in need of legal advice, and I felt strongly enough about how badly I was treated that I was compelled to share my feelings in a review. Maybe he was having a bad day---but he was unkind and unapologetic. I was calmly talking to him with courtesy, and was not treated in the same manner. Not a good way to pull in new clients. read more

Atty. Welling has my extreme gratitude for taking himself above and way beyond any point he was hired to go. Mine was a rare circumstance that was handled via long distance. His professionalism was very high end the entire time. I felt as if I was being helped by a friend during the entire process, He never lost sight on what it was all about. Comforting. I HIGHLY recommend this firm to everyone. Thanks ever so much, Lloyd. ~Dawn~ read more

I highly recommend Lloyd Welling of American Wills & Estates. He helped me when my mother passed away this year. He is hard working, professional, knowledgeable and returned my calls promptly and when he said he would. All too often attorneys are unresponsive, and leave you sitting, waiting and on the hook- NOT Lloyd Welling! He knows his stuff and will tell you like it is. He is honest, straight forward, and will not try to lead you down a path where you spend a lot of money for nothing . read more

I had a great experience with Lloyd. I live in Denver and was trying to handle my late mother's affairs from afar. I called up Lloyd and from the first minute on the phone, I knew that I wanted to work with him. The estate was very small and there was not much to be made by Lloyd, but I felt that he treated me with the same professionalism that he would treat a million dollar case. We were able to communicate via email to get everything going and then the one day that I was able to travel back to Pittsburgh, Lloyd was prepared and ready to go from the moment I walked in and met him in person at his office. We completed the paperwork that was required and then went down to the courthouse together to file everything. Lloyd did everything and literally I just had to sign some documents. I knew I was in good hands and could trust the process without understanding everything that needed to be done. Everyone we ran into on our adventures downtown treated Lloyd like he was "Norm" from Cheers. Smiles and kind words from everyone. Traveling to Pittsburgh to go through the process of handling the affairs of my late mother while still grieving from the loss certainly is not my idea of a good time, but the 2-3 hours I spent that day with Lloyd seemed like enjoying an afternoon with your old buddy from college. Thank you Lloyd for making a difficult process at a difficult time so easy. Marc M read more

I highly recommend using this law firm for any estate planning or probate administration needs. They handled everything from start to finish and offered a flat rate for services which made me confident I wasn't being taken for a ride. In fact, after we settled our probate needs, my wife and I began our estate planning documents to ensure our affairs were in order. read more
