This is an outstanding firm. Our family secured the…read moreservices of Chuck Bauman in early 2019 when we realized that we were in need of an experienced elder care attorney. He was able to guide my elderly father and us through all of the steps that we needed to take in order to preserve and protect assets for the future of our parents. Mr. Bauman is extremely knowledgeable and professional but, at the same time, incredibly patient and kind with all of us (particularly my somewhat stubborn father!). He never wavered in his gentle guidance through the maze of scenarios that elder care presents. He has continued to be an expert throughout our journey which has included medical challenges, long term care and caregivers, and management of the estate after the passing of both of our parents. His legal counseling has been accurate and timely and his staff support has been above reproach. As the executrix, I have depended heavily on Mr. Bauman and his incredible staff. Their expertise and and assistance has been superlative. Above all, in a law specialty dedicated to an area that presents with confusion and stress, this office offered an oasis of peace for my parents, my family and me. I will forever be grateful. Sharon Alderdice and family

I hired Mr. Patteson and on the same day of consultation, I gave him a check, he called me within an hour of my getting home to tell me he had already filed with Probate Court and we had a hearing date set for 11/27/23, 13 days later.

My experience with attorney Joe Thigpen during my mother's probate case has been very upsetting…read more During the probate hearing, he brought up a legal matter from about ten years ago -- something that had already been resolved through a plea agreement long ago -- and used it to argue that I was unqualified to serve as executor, even though my parents personally named me as their chosen executor in their will. I felt this was unnecessary, unfair, and had nothing to do with my actual ability to handle my mother's estate. That old issue has been resolved for years, and I have had no other convictions since. Bringing it up in this way made the probate process much more stressful and made me feel that my parents' wishes were not respected. This review is based on my personal experience.
