Thank you for making this an "as easy as can be" experience. [California]
Thank you once again for your genuine concern, responsiveness, integrity, and above all, great competence. I have had many "lawyer experiences" in both my professional and personal life, and this one with you distinguishes itself in all measurable dimensions. I wish there was a way for me to help others facing the prospect of probating an estate, especially from out of state. Your model is unique, understandable, straight-forward, and efficient, with you providing the guidance and local, manual execution. It is of highest quality, and unbelievably affordable (never thought I would declare those words to a lawyer!). Doing this process with you really is, "the only way to fly!". Again, you have my, and my family's, sincerest appreciation and respect. [Arizona]
Thank you so very much for the job you did for me. Throughout the process, I dealt with so many different agencies and people. Of all those, you stood out repeatedly as a stellar performer ... always timely, precise, and perfect in every way. Thanks again. [Bellingham]
Thanks for your help in handling [my mother's] estate. It really made my work load a lot easier to manage. I will not hesitate to recommend your services to others who need estate assistance. [Attorney in Seattle litigation firm]
Thanks again for everything. You said I could do this mostly myself and you were right! I certainly will highly recommend you to others. [Spokane]
Thank you for your expeditious handling of my mother's probate. I certainly didn't expect (or fortunately require) such quick action. As an Airline Pilot for almost 30 years, I have become accustomed to a methodical, systematic, detail oriented approach to things, and your performance here (as well as your extremely comprehensive website) was far more than I ever expected. As a simple guy, my experience with all things legal is almost nil. I'm still not sure exactly what you did or how you did it (just as the layman doesn't really comprehend what I do or how I do it), but nevertheless I am amazed at the speed and ease in which this matter was handled. [Kirkland]
[From brother:] That is truly good news! [My sister, the estate's PR] and I have been extraordinarily fortunate in having you as our attorney. I am very grateful for your straightforward advice. ... [From sister:] I echo my brother’s sentiments in thanking you. You have provided more than we ever expected, not only in positive results but in your thoughtful advice and prompt responses. [Massachusetts]
I have not had dealings with a lawyer before except with real estate sales and Wills, but I had heard horror stories and was reluctant to use one. I must say, it was not painful at all. I felt that you dealt with me and the situation in a realistic and succinct manner. You did not allow the machinations of [opposing counsel] to bog you down. I truly appreciated that. Thank you for your help in settling this matter. [Arizona]
I was frustrated and confused by the response from [Decedent's care facility] and the funeral home when my brother died. You made the situation understandable and smoothed out the later problems with the bank. I appreciate the extra effort you made on my behalf with these matters. The legal maze through probate is a complete mystery to me and went smoothly thanks to you. I can't think of anything more you could have done. [California]
Thanks, Mr. Wills! Your website is a real blessing for those seeking assistance from a distance -- usually during difficult times -- in the Internet age! If I EVER learn of someone needing a probate attorney in Washington, you will get my unqualified recommendation! Your advice has been invaluable. Your rates have been reasonable. Your character and dedication have been beyond question. You've been great to work with and I know that all involved are so appreciative of that fact. [Kansas] I can’t think of any suggestions for improvement. You did a splendid job for me. The whole process seemed to go very smoothly. I never felt under pressure. You were always available via Email and answered my questions promptly. I especially liked the way you attached the needed forms and step-by-step instructions to your Email messages. I would have had a difficult time going through the process without your guidance, filing of documents, and representation at the Court proceedings. I don’t have an estimate of the time and travel I would have spent doing it myself, but know it would have been considerable. As it turned out I only made one trip to Seattle in order to prepare the house for sale. I never once visited the King County Courthouse; but if it is like California Courthouses, a lot of time can be spent there for seemingly simple things. I know that being unfamiliar with the processes and being from out of state would have presented me with “challenges.” [California] |

Richard,
On behalf of my brother and myself, I would like to thank you for the work you did. You have responded and informed me quickly regarding what needed to be done, and I appreciate that. If the bank needs anything else, I will get in contact with you. Please accept our thanks during what we expected to be a difficult process in what is still an emotional time.
I hope to never have to go through this process again, but if I do, I will definitely call on you. If someone I know needs help, I will strongly recommend you.
I am still amazed we were able to complete this process without meeting face to face, and without considerable time and documentation.
Thank you for you time and help during a difficult process.
Sincerely, Sarah [Seattle] |
