Manning & Murray listen to you and guide you through the process. It is easy to reach them through the phone or email. They usually responded within an hour, and never did a question go unanswered for longer than one business day. When the worst happens, and you have to use the estate documents that you have so carefully drawn up, you'll want to be able to reach out to a professional, proficient estate law law with excellent customer service - where someone is readily available to help you. Manning and Murray was first recommended to me by an attorney working for a Maryland estate law firm that regularly provides estate planning basics to retiring government workers. Then a friend also mentioned that they had used them - and encouraged me to use them too. Finally, someone employed in the trust department of a bank stated that Manning & Murray had done all of the estate planning for their family. Another friend recommended using an online estate law software package, but the estate had complex needs, and we decided that approach wasn't a good fit. I'm looking forward to sleeping better at night, knowing that the important estate matters are settled. I recommend Manning & Murray wholeheartedly for all who need estate planning work done.

It is with great pleasure that my wife and I wholeheartedly recommend the skilled estate planning…read morelegal services of our attorney Jonathan Cox, Esq., at NOVA Estate Planning. Having carefully considered a wide variety of qualified estate planning professionals in Northern Virginia, the outstanding client references for Jonathan Cox, Esq. made him our "#1 Choice." From our initial meeting and onward, Jonathan never failed to maintain a courteous and relaxed demeanor. He patiently listened to all of our preconceived estate planning objectives and concerns. With those insights, Jonathan proceeded to explore for us the pros and cons of a wide variety of practical options and approaches, tailored for our personally articulated joint objectives and priorities. Jonathan explained to us each potential path of asset protection, while weighing the tax considerations, asset protection strengths and shortcomings of each option. He would patiently lay out the unique administrative aspects of every approach, while pondering the day-to-day and long term asset/cash management characteristics of each. Once our estate planning objective and preferences were extensively explored and conceptualized, Jonathan began diagramming a proposed "best structure" of our customized estate plan, all on a large white board in his private conference room. And there before our appreciative eyes, the entire structure of our estate plan did unfold. With scholarly skill, Jonathan would carefully explain each and every aspect of the proposed plan, weighing the relative tax impact, secure ownership and retained control of each progressive step. Shortly thereafter, appropriate legal documents were generated (in draft form), incorporating our exact priorities; ranging from living trusts; beneficiary trusts; powers of attorney; payment and transfer on death instructions; real property re-titling; advanced care directives; etc. After careful review and discussion, an orderly array of finalized legal documents were generated, presented, proofread, executed, notarized and filed (where required). Eventually, all originals were compiled in a neat pocketed binder and digitalized for our future reference, use and potential updating. Straightforward written instructions by Jonathan accompanied all our documents, designed for future reference by ourselves and by our heirs in the final administration and distribution of our estate. My wife and I remain fully satisfied with the extraordinary high quality of professional counsel, interim guidance and finalized work product provided by Jonathan Cox, Esq.; all at a very reasonable cost. Most importantly... Jonathan Cox has provided, both my wife and I, peace of mind. Thank you, Jonathan! by - Fred V. Vienna, VA

The quality of his research and analysis was definitely a cut above what I have seen before and I recommend him highly.

I was in the process of purchasing my parents' home from my family's estate. I felt the appraisal I…read morehad received was too high compared to online market values, so I reached out to Rick Phillips with Appraisals Guaranteed for a second opinion. I explained that I simply wanted an honest, factual, and professional evaluation of the home's worth. From the very beginning, I was amazed by how professional, meticulous, and thorough Rick was throughout the appraisal process. When he noticed a discrepancy between the home's square footage listed by the city and his own measurements, he didn't just accept it--he sent his team back out to remeasure, then personally followed up with the city. When he couldn't get answers over the phone, he even went down to the city office in person to clarify the details. His dedication to accuracy and integrity was truly unparalleled. Once the appraisal was complete, Rick took the time to walk me through every part of the report. He explained how he chose comparable properties and how those influenced his valuation. He made sure I fully understood the findings and felt confident explaining them to my family. Rick's professionalism, honesty, and commitment to excellence gave me complete peace of mind. His passion for his work, dedication to accuracy, and unwavering integrity ensured that I could trust the results without question. Thank you, Rick Phillips and Appraisals Guaranteed, for going above and beyond. I would highly recommend Rick to anyone looking for an appraiser who truly embodies honesty, professionalism, and care for his clients.

"Ibrayeva v Kublan"…read more I would encourage anyone considering retainment of Kublan to first search via Google "Ibrayeva v Kublan" and read the resulting document carefully and in full. It is the case summary of an appeal to a ruling for divorce filed by Kublan's former wife (and mother of their children). The document states Kublan represented himself in the matter. Kublan has adopted the approach and argumentation reflected in his own divorce proceding in subsequent client representations. Potential clients risk suboptimal outcomes as his approach may result in a negative reputation and/or poor credibility among some judges in Virginia. Again, I would urge careful consideration of the case summary noted above before contacting this lawyer. UPDATE 12/13/21 Kublan emailed the attached picture of text to my legal representative shortly after the above review appeared on Google. I have omitted the last name of my lawyer; otherwise, below I have posted Kublan's note with complete accuracy and in full.
