This firm was recommended to me by my financial advisor to help me set up an advanced estate plan…read morein the event something happens to me for my young daughter and a trust for her to ensure my assets would be able to support her and provide for her lifestyle, education, travel, etc. expenses far into the future. It's something I've wanted to do for a while but had been putting off bc it's intimidating. Melissa Moser was recommended to me. Email correspondence was prompt initially and my first appointment went very well. I liked that they have a package plan for a trust that includes multiple things and was ultimately provided to me in a full binder package with everything tabbed (with definitions and instructions) set up so it's easy should someone have to use it in the event of my untimely death or incapacitation. After our one-hour consult, I was given some paperwork to fill out for them as far as assets, accounts, possessions, etc. and signed a contract fairly quickly and paid my half deposit (remainder due upon delivery of documents/binder). Melissa and I had about a 2-3 hour meeting one afternoon where we really sat down and went through all my assets, my plans for the future for my daughter, and how to structure my trust in such a way that it will still provide guidance and influence for my daughter where I can still have a way to instill some values in her if I were to no longer be here to parent her. We included education, health, travel, and additional benefits for her until she's around 40. Incentivizing things like foreign travel abroad, higher education, marrying later, health and wellness... etc. Melissa was a great partner in working through those things and providing some guidance and examples as well as steering the conversation and leading me to the goals I wanted. Yesterday I arrived and the team was well-prepared and had all my documents ready to go - I signed in front of witnesses/notaries and they quickly made scans/copies and had my binder ready to go. I feel much better now that I have everything lined up for my very young daughter so she will be well provided for and I will still be able to look out for her if the worst and unexpected happened. Additionally, I now have a will, a durable power of attorney, and advanced medical directives outlining my wishes. This sort of thing is unpleasant, but something you need to think about as you get older. My grandmother died with no will with 5 adult children from two marriages and it was a nightmare. I don't want to leave that for my family. Working with this firm was exceptionally easy and the comprehensive binder they provided will walk my loved ones through everything they need to know if I were no longer here and they won't have to guess what my wishes are, they're clearly laid out. Melissa was excellent and I highly recommend her and her team.

When you have the loss of a friend and or a family member, you will have an awakening. You will find out quickly that you aren't truly prepared for that person's passing. You should think about having those not-so-fun conversations with your elders or spouse about their wishes if something were to happen to them. Think about everything that involves gathering one's personal property and assets. If you don't have a Will, General Power of attorney, Special Needs, Guardianship, Advance Medical Directive, Joint financial/monetary accounts, and or co-ownership of any assets. You may seriously want to think about having a Living Trust established. Don't be afraid to hire someone who specializes in family planning. The Dickerson & Smith Law Group located in Virginia Beach, VA. is a law firm you can depend on.

My case involved a tenant who left my rental property in the middle of the third year of the 4 year lease. I had one rental property and I was certainly not a mega property manager. I was financially hurt in a list of ways, not the least of which was the damage caused to the property, the unauthorized paint. Let's not forget the fact that my tenant left me after giving me a phony set of transfer orders taking her out of the country. Mr. Hedrick battled for justice for me time after time Until he was victorious. My former tenant's pay was garnished.....temporarily until she filed for bankruptcy. She filed twice unsuccessfully and each time that she filed, Mr. Hedrick had to attach / file to garnish her wages with the US Navy. She finally filed for the third time successfully and you guessed it, Chris Hedrick went after her again. Even though she filed and was given protection through bankruptcy and my wife and I will not get the full amount that the original judge found in my favor. However, today the fight came to an end, the case is over results is that my wife and I will get a certain amount for the next 48 months. Several things have happened during my association with Chris Hedrick, our case began with an in depth meeting to learn the facts and today we had a meeting that reviewed all of the things that had to be done throughout the duration of this case. Chris gave me over 40 minutes of his valuable time to review some of the things that he had to overcome in order to be victorious. The bottom line is that I am so glad that Jesus but me in touch with Chris Hedrick and that he took on my case. I have on occasion mentioned who I had helping me to my friends and every time the same question was asked....how did you get so lucky to get Chris to help you ? The bottom line is that I just want to publicly thank him for helping my family and I would say to anyone needing legal assistance to be sure to reach out to Chris Hedrick at the firm of Dickerson and Smith in Virginia Beach on North Lynnhaven Parkway.
