My family's interactions with this attorney during matters related to my 92-year-old grandmother's…read moresurvivor trust were a very difficult experience for us. My grandmother had created a trust that allowed her to manage and use her assets during her lifetime in accordance with her own wishes. After she passed away, discussions arose during the administration process suggesting that some of her financial decisions may have been improper or unnecessary. From our family's perspective, we were not presented with documentation or clear supporting information that explained or substantiated those concerns. Hearing those types of statements about my grandmother after her passing was deeply upsetting to our family. She lived a long and honorable life, and because she is no longer here to explain the reasoning behind her financial decisions, it was painful to hear her judgment questioned in that context. The administration process also became longer and more complicated than our family had expected. As time went on, the prolonged nature of the matter created additional stress and increased expenses for our family during what was already an emotionally difficult period following the loss of our grandmother. Estate administration is often sensitive and emotionally charged for families. In my opinion, situations involving elderly individuals and their financial decisions should be handled with particular care and professionalism, especially when the individual is no longer able to speak for themselves. Clear documentation and respectful communication can make a significant difference for families navigating the loss of a loved one. I understand that attorneys must advocate for their clients and represent their client's interests. However, from our family's perspective, the overall experience made an already difficult time more challenging than it needed to be. This review reflects my family's personal experience during the administration of my grandmother's trust and the impact the process had on us.

We needed an estate plan and a quick return and were not disappointed. We now have peace of mind knowing our family will not have any issues with our estate plan.

Paralegal never checked on whether or not my qme was submitting diagnostic requests for 4 years…read more Turns our they weren't. Completely messed my case up. When confronted neither the paralegal or Gary apologized or made it right. I did finally get the diagnostic testing I needed and it came back positive. Come to find out the qme and the attorney routinely send people to each other. Also Gary's inept and uncaring about anyone with mental health care needs. I wound up being forced to sell my medical for cents on the dollar because the relationship with this office became so confrontational. Gary is not an advocate. He has more clients than his non paralegal staff is equipped to handle. I was basically forced to cancel because out of retaliation Gary stopped working for me. Highly don't recommend. Very dissatisfied.

I should have had a better conversation with the bank before I went to the estate planning service. I wanted to avoid the time and expense of probate and assumed I needed a Trust to do that. Setting up the Trust cost me $3500. As it turns out, what I had already set up with the bank was perfectly sufficient. All my assets would have been available to my beneficiary on my death with no probate. I have to say, I should have asked more questions but I also feel the Planning service could have advised me better, and saved me $3500. The people there are friendly, but I feel taken advantage of. Just be sure to know what your circumstances are before spending a lot of money on a Trust you may not need.
