Everyone knows how important it is to have a will or living trust so that if something happens to…read moreyou, your heirs will be protected - bonus points if you can make the process of settling your estate as easy as possible. The problem is, it's one of those tasks that often gets bumped to the very end of the "to do" list when it really shouldn't; it seems too difficult, complicated or expensive. We hired Stephen E. Grant to draw up our living trust and he made the process incredibly easy for us - starting with a clearly worded, detailed intake form that really helped us crystallize what we wanted to include. He communicated clearly with us throughout the process, patiently and accurately answered all our questions and drew up a solid, thorough estate plan including a living trust, wills and health care POA for a very reasonable price. We are so glad we didn't procrastinate and finally got this done. Quality legal counsel doesn't have to be intimidating or prohibitively expensive and Mr. Grant made it a smooth (and from our end) easy process.

I was left with quite a mess as the Trustee of my mom's estate, which was a journey long before I…read morecalled Justin. My situation was an 8-year stint which involved a mom with Alzheimer's, a sister out of state, a house with an encumbrance that my sister and I inherited, a court date, buying my sister out with an enormous loan, lots of paperwork and documents, and a property tax situation. Justin handled this entire process with professionalism. He is very down to earth and such a wonderful person, that it made a complicated matter much more doable. We needed other professionals as well -- a new trust CPA, a property tax expert, and a hard money lender -- and he referred us to all of these nice quality people, who have been incredibly helpful. This made everything easier as we were, many times when necessary, on an email thread together, working symbiotically, which simplified everything. Having worked with attorneys as a court reporter for many years and also having hired a quirky attorney prior to Justin who handled previous matters, moving on and hiring Justin on a fairly complicated matter was a delight and actually resolved some issues that couldn't seem to get resolved with the previous attorney. I always felt confident that he had my back and that "he's got this." Along with being a very professional attorney, I really like him as a person. Although most everything is coming to a close, with a few last hurdles that my husband and I will handle, I will miss talking to Justin! Lastly, how I found him was on Yelp, and what convinced me to hire Justin were all of the other wonderful reviews from his past clients. Hire Justin because you won't be disappointed! :-)
