I encountered Mr. Crockett at a very difficult time in my life, and to say that he helped me and made it better would be an understatement. I would refer him to anyone, he was awesome.

Mr. Crockett recently helped my family out in a huge trust and real estate lawsuit mess. My wife and her two brothers inherited equal thirds of a large property that had two homes on one lot as a result of their mothers’ passing in 2002. The Orange County home was put into a trust a few years later by way of Trust documents that were drafted by the eldest brother’s business attorney – who apparently had no estate law training. The eldest brother and his new wife were living in the family home since the mother’s death in 2002 and had the most to gain. My wife and her younger brother both have homes of their own, and would have preferred to sell the home in 2002 but did not as an attempt to be compassionate to their older brother. My wife and I live nearby the property and the middle brother lives out of state. In 2013 the eldest brother (who was living on the inherited family property) died unexpectedly leaving his new wife and her adult children and their wives all living on the property. There were 5 adults living there and running a family construction business from the property that had extensive parking for their business vehicles and significant storage spaces for their construction supplies. This unusual property made it unnecessary to lease shop space as would any other similar business. They were not maintaining the property and it was falling into severe disrepair. They wanted to continue to live there essentially rent free going forward though they were all but strangers to the surviving beneficiaries. My wife and her surviving brother absolutely wanted to now sell the their inherited home and approached the now-deceased older brother’s widow. She had a good thing going and did not want to move. She claimed she was now part owner and she felt entitled to that property. The Trust documents that the deceased brother’s business attorney had drafted were a joke! A law professor’s first year students would break out in hilarity it was so bad. It was as if the Trust documents were ordered off a random Internet Legal documents website for $19.95. The trust document didn’t even state who the trust beneficiaries were and left out other basic stuff. Finally, after much pressure, the widow reluctantly agreed to listing the home with a Realtor and signed the listing agreement. The home received offers. One was accepted and the property went into escrow. The clock was now running. The widow, her adult kids and their wives now had a date certain and would have to move by the time escrow would close. The widow was due a 1/3 of the sales proceeds, so she’d eventually have a down payment to purchase a home or money for whatever. One third would be a significant pile of cash. I will continue

David Crockett has been invaluable in helping me through a very difficult time. My mother had passed on leaving me with a very poorly written Trust, and with his knowledge, compassion, and expertise; The Crockett Law Firm was able to resolve this very sensitive matter. From my initial meeting, Mr. Crockett listened to my situation and offered several suggestions and options on how to approach and how to achieve the best solution. All of my questions were answered, no matter how trivial, and we have now concluded what was initially an enormous challenge for me, and I would highly recommend the services of The Crockett Law Firm. I have now been with this firm for many years, and look forward to a continuing relationship, to guide myself and my family, through any legal matters which may arise. Thank you for being there for me.

Mr. Crockett has been invaluable to beneficiaries’ understanding of Trust administration and dispute resolution when communications presented major challenges. His timely direction resulted in moving to arbitration and dispute resolution. Mr. Crockett has been a trusted adviser for over 20 years on matters of legal and tax matters. In addition, Mr. Crockett was selected to represent my ownership of property involved in partition litigation outside my state of residence. His judgement is excellent.

I have the pleasure working with David Crockett since 1991 as my personal attorney as well as being the attorney representing me on numerous business transactions. He has also been my tax attorney/CPA for over 20 years. During all these times, I have found David to be the most honest and sincere person to work with. He always looks after what is best for me and my business and always provides sound advice and guides me to the right direction to get things done and resolved for me in a timely manner without any hesitation. In this age, it is very difficult to find someone whom you can really trust. But having David as my attorney, I put my entire trust in him as I have confidence in him that he will always deliver what he promises and commits.

Crockett Law is a detailed and thorough legal firm with clear and precise advice. My experience involves two trusts and advice regarding handling recalcitrant estate executor and preserving tax rights in property transactions. Crockett does not miss a thing and is excellent at what he does. Hard to top a skill level like his that comes from being an expert in his field for over forty years. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who is an executor or trustee of an estate, or to someone looking to set up their own. He has not only handled my estate planning but also general business matters as well.

Crockett Law was informative and prompt in helping my family resolve our parents’ estate. He was also a great coach to me as the trustee when it came to responding to family member questions.

While I am rather young to be thinking about estate planning, David helped me create a will and get everything in order in case god forbid something happened to me. This way I know that my family and loved ones would not have to probate my estate because I was too lazy to be prepared ahead of time. He also instructed me in putting together my advanced health care directive. He really left no stone unturned and made me feel very ahead of the curve for someone my age. As my life and my assets progress I definitely will be coming back to Mr. Crockett to do more in-depth estate planning and other matters. He has definitely made a life long client out of me.

You were a great help… At a time when things were pretty bad for me, David stepped in to help. He did it upfront risking his time and effort, without one penny up front. That really helped me out a lot, as I had nothing. He was also very personable and knowledgeable. He gave me the piece of mind I needed to get through my problem with my family and my mothers trust. That wouldn’t have been the case had I not contacted him. I recommend him highly to handle your case.

I found David through the web and could not be happier that I chose to go with him. He walked me through all of the steps of creating my entire estate plan and setting up a trust for my children. He advised me on what steps to take to protect my real estate as well as creating my healthcare directive so my children do not have to make decisions regarding my health when I cant speak for myself. He was always very quick to respond to me and provided me with even more knowledge that I requested. Not only did he provide excellent service and keep me informed every step of the way, he provided me with complete peace of mind and that is priceless. I have already recommended him and will continue to do so to anyone that I know looking for services in the areas of estate and trust creation and administration, as well as all types of real estate transactions.

Mr. Crockett’s depth of knowledge and experience has been of enormous help to our family over the years in a wide range of areas. For our real estate business investment David advised us on asset protection and established our corporation. David was always there to help us with real estate issues over the years. David was also exceptionally helpful assisting in an out-of-state probate matter handling court proceedings and filing related tax returns. Depth of knowledge and professional conduct is foremost with Crockett Law Corporation. We place our complete confidence in David and recently completed our family trust and will with him. Thank you David.
