“ Mr. Ashwell and Sarah, his paralegal, are outstanding. I felt fortunate to have found such a diverse, experienced, and knowledgeable attorney in Warren County, Virginia. After doing a lot of research, I’m lucky to have found Mr. Ashwell. He provided quality and skill in his defense of my son’s criminal case. He went above and above to work thoroughly. Results were more important to him than money. His apparent diligence, honesty, sophistication, and vision are unparalleled by other attorneys I had contacted. I would recommend him without hesitation for all your legal needs in the state of Virginia.

Mr. Reinhardt was perfection. On our first contact over the phone he was well spoken very informative and gave us very good advice. At our closing he was punctual and very well dressed. He was very professional and kind to us he took his time explaining each and every contract we were signing. Also took extra time to explain some other questions I had about the property and some tax questions I had. After the closing he made himself available if we had any other questions or any problems with the property. I would not only recommend his services but he got a client with me for life.

She directed us in terms of obtaining a living will and health care power of attorney. My wife and I are now at peace having covered all of the bases with regard to our estate.

Counselor Tyrell helped us through a very scary guardianship and adoption process. We had never been through anything like that before and the waters were extremely difficult to navigate as we worked to get all the necessary documents, signatures, interviews and court orders in place. Adopting a child, especially a child with which you've bonded, can be incredibly stressful and worrisome because until it is all done there is the constant fear some agent or agency may deny your application for a myriad of possible reasons! Add our unfamiliarity with the adoption process as a whole and you get the fearful, frantic couple that was us for the 3 years that it took to complete the adoption. The difficulties stemmed from the number of transactions that needed to take place between the State of Nevada, our daughter's birthplace and the current location of the birthparents which encompassed 3 different states altogether. Counselor Tyrell was very thorough and precise in providing guidance to us and helping us meet every requirement put forth by all jurisdictions/agencies involved! She was accommodating and informative EVERY step of the way. She held our hand through the entire process and was our constant rock when we would have bouts of discouragement! Her determination and concern for the success of our adoption application was clearly genuine to us. She became far more than just legal counsel. She became family to us and it's a relationship we will continue to maintain for the rest of our thankful lives! We cant say enough about her competence, drive, character, and compassion! Counselor Tyrell is everything we could have hoped for in a lawyer and in a friend affectionately known by our daughter as "Auntie Elyse"! My family greatly recommends her and the entire law firm of Trent, Tyrell & Associates!!

The adoption of our grandchild was a very emotional and stressful time for my wife and me. We consider ourselves very fortunate that Elyse Tyrell was our attorney in this matter. We found Elyse to be not only extremely competent and professional in handling the legal aspects of our case but also very caring and compassionate during a difficult time for us. Taking into account that it was necessary for me to retire in order to stay home and care for a 7 year old child, Elyse did much of the work pro bono. I highly recommend Elyse Tyrell and would not hesitate to seek her counsel if the need should ever arise again.

There were many people like me who were in this position. He helped us with offshore taxes, which consisted primarily of inheritance. There were many complicated scenarios in the distribution of my inheritance. He was a very careful listener and was very prompt with answering my questions.

If you are searching for a knowledgeable attorney who is versed in estate planning, elder law and probate, look no further. Christine O’Neil is a must to have in your corner if you need legal advice in dealing with any kind of estate issues. I live in Oklahoma and have a dear friend in Pensacola, FL that I was trying to help during a recent health crisis. My friend’s sister had recently passed away and she had no other family member to assist her. Living alone she reached out to me. Having known my friend for over 40 years it became my duty and responsibility to assist her with health and end of life decisions. I knew it would be a challenge living almost 1000 miles apart, so I began the search for a local attorney in Pensacola with experience, skills and above all, compassion to help manage this process. My first assignment was to review and get my friends affairs in order. That’s when Christine O’Neil stepped in with the legal knowledge to assist in preparing the legal documents required to designate myself her legal power of attorney to manage the day-to-day affairs plus make all the medical decisions required later on. My friend was mentally sharp however her body was failing, and she was in a rehab facility at the time. After our discussion Christine reached out to her and went over everything, answering her questions and making sure she understood. Once the documents were ready, Christine personally went to the rehab facility to execute the documents, left copies with the facility, and sent me the originals. Christine is professional and has a compassionate, caring way about her that is needed and appreciated during such stressful circumstances. She listens, explains thoroughly each document, and always asked if I had any questions. She responds in a timely manner to emails and always called me back if she wasn’t available when I called. Finding Christine was the BEST thing for me in helping my friend. I highly recommend her!

Putting an estate plan together is one of those things that we all tend to procrastinate. My late wife and I often talked about it, went to a few seminars attorneys put on, but never got around to actually doing it. When my wife died suddenly I realized very quickly that I needed an estate plan as the last thing you want is to die intestate and have the courts determine who gets what. Everyone's circumstances are different but having control over what you want is paramount. But where do you find a competent attorney to do this? Generally I prefer personal referrals but no one I knew was any help. Fortunately I was lucky. I did an internet search, if they had a website I checked what information was provided and checked out their credentials. This is how I found Christine O'Neil. Not only are her credentials impeccable but she is blessed with an abundance of patience and compassion. She offers a free consultation and answered questions I didn't even know I had, plus she swiftly answered lots and lots of e-mails as I would think of something else. Basically I was still in shock from my wife passing but she made everything easy for me. She put together a last will and testament, a living will, a durable power of attorney, a designation of health care surrogate and completed and filed an enhanced life estate deed that is a huge bonus of living in Florida. Some websites and software that will not be named will tell you that this is easy and you can do them yourself. One tiny mistake and your plan can go up in smoke. That's why you want a professional with the experience not to make mistakes that you wouldn't know about until it's too late. Especially if you're the surviving spouse you want everything air tight.

Fred Niemann and his staff were easy to deal with and saved us a huge amount of money. The first lawyer we went to insisted that my wife and I needed complex wills, involving the establishment of many trusts, adding thousands of dollars to the cost. He actually refused to do the simpler wills. So we went to our next choice, Hanlon, Niemann & Wright. Fred, hearing the same story from us as the first lawyer, gave us the same explanation of the risk of not using trusts. But Fred listened to our explanation of why we believed that we didn't need them. He agreed with us., and Hanlon Niemann put together the two wills and the power of attorney documents that were exactly what we both wanted, and for less than the first lawyer would have charged for the simple wills that we had originally asked for. If we ever need help from a law firm again, guess who we will call.

Paul handled a delicate and complicated situation over the course of nearly two full years - in terms of guidance, legal support/action, and a property sale. From the start he laid out a course of action which was very direct and clear, but what made me comfortable is that he presented it very confidently but with compassion and an understanding for what I was feeling personally. I felt like he truly empathized with my circumstances, listened to my point of view, and essentially acted as a true sounding board while already crafting a game plan on which for us to execute. I never felt that I did not know where we were headed, but in a way felt I was still in control of my path, yet I was in the good hands of a true professional. I have worked with many attorneys both personally and in a business setting, so I can certainly attest to the good and not so good of attorneys, and Paul checks all the good boxes. Again he brings a personal touch to the work where you know he genuinely cares. That is huge. However, equally on a professional level and knowledge of his craft, he would be tough to match. He has a way of reciting the law but also communicating it in a way that is easy to digest and follow. Paul is also very reliable and consistently in touch seemingly at need. I acknowledged he has several clients and a full plate at all times, but never did I feel like I was on the backburner - it was as if my issues were front and center and always his priority. No client can expect that but I feel like that's what I got. To be fair, a review is not legitimate without at least one critique, but honestly the only thing I would say is that he could have convinced me sooner to take his advice and stop sitting on my hands It was ultimately only my hesitation and stubbornness but he did not stop short of giving me his two cents in that regard - and that is much respected and probably his true value. And even when I delayed in decision making, he found a way to make up for that in some way. Really amazing. On the real estate side of things, his experience and knowledge of the market and conditions is top notch. He was spot on with listing price and took prudent steps to ensure a quick and successful sale. Again all the while over communicating progress and any next steps along the way. I have sold a few properties through the years, but I have never felt so supported. I love that I could just chime in but essentially "STAY OUT OF IT!" Got to deeply thank Paul for everything and highly recommend.

From the moment of our first contact, Paul was immediately responsive, and had already done homework on our property, and the sellers. We had found ourselves in the midst of massive non-disclosures on the property we had purchased, facing a huge amount of money to make it habitable and functional, and were at a total loss on how to handle it all. We finally decided that we needed to do something about it legally, and reached out to Paul, who had been referred by a close friend. Paul worked tirelessly with us over the next few months, sending information to us, responding immediately to all questions, and making us laugh when we wanted to cry. He is quite the detective, searching out every angle possible until he finds the key that fits. Paul would not let us give up, and when we finally said we just wanted OUT of the nightmare, he said let's go for that angle. In the end, we achieved the unheard of...the sellers agreed to purchase back the property! With this incredible turn of events, we were able to immediately start looking for another property, which we found that same week. Paul navigated us forward and through it all...juggling back and forth as we sold back our property and purchased our new one (in the midst of our being on vacation out of the country!). We are now very happily living in our new home/property...something that would not have been possible without Paul, who has now become a dear friend as well as Attorney. We cannot thank him enough for all he did for us.

In early December of 2023, all of my life circumstances had compounded, and I had no choice but to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I was at rock-bottom and it felt like the hardest thing that I've ever had to do. The fear of it all, the immense shame, the uncertainty of how it would unfold, etc. I searched in the LA area for bankruptcy attorneys and sorted by Google Reviews, and decided to call the four highest-rated ones. The first three that I spoke with didn't bring me any real feelings of comfort or confidence, but moreso made me feel rushed/like another transaction. Greg was my fourth call, and within a few minutes, I knew he was the guy. He made me feel calmer, not rushed, and let me take my time - yet moved quickly when I told him I was ready to do so. He made me feel very confident in my circumstances and successfully becoming debt-free after filing. Pricing-wise, Greg was a bit more expensive than some of the others, but still in the same general ball park. But it was some of the best money I've ever spent. This is NOT the kind of legal matter you want to leave to chance to try to save, say, a few hundred dollars. Such a non-brainer to pay a bit more to give yourself the best possible chance at the right outcome. After making the decision to file Bk - which only took some moments of what felt like insane courage - the process was surprisingly efficient and somewhat easy (we filed within a week). I exported all of my online records and sent them over to Greg and we reviewed them over a 1.5 hour call while he completed the paperwork. He sent me the consolidated file to print out, sign, and scan back to him. After that, I was informed within a few weeks of my "hearing" date + time (a dial-in conference where I was accompanied by an attorney from Greg's office) and some prep from Greg prior. The hearing took about two minutes. After that, I had to wait for a decision. Greg said "I heard the hearing went well, and I expect a full discharge by mid-March." And that's exactly what happened (a little over a week ago). So all-in, from when I filed ($100k credit card debt) to end ($0 in debt), the whole process took about 3mo. Facing bankruptcy genuinely felt like pure ruin/an insurmountable and imminent doom. This new fresh start is completely life-changing, and I will never forget how Greg really saved me during my absolute darkest hours. If you live in the LA -- I made the calls/did the research -- choose Greg. *I also just realized we've only spoken by phone/via email. This whole process - including the hearing - was entirely virtual.

When in financial dilemma and where to even begin is stressing your everyday life and you find someone that takes the time and shows you compassion, that is priceless. Your professionalism, knowledge, and commitment to my case were evident throughout, and I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone facing similar circumstances. To say you went above and beyond would not explain how grateful I am Greg. Thank you once again for your assistance during this challenging time. Your support made a significant difference in my life, and I am truly grateful for your dedication to my case.

Hiring Hailli was truly the best decision I made and in turn I achieved the best possible outcome available to me. From the beginning, I felt my relationship with Hailli was that of a personal one and when it was time to get to business Hailli did nothing short of quite literally, getting things done. Both she and her assistant Yani always made themselves available to me and were very responsive throughout. They were excellent with the hand holding and explanations when needed and then taking things in to their own hands at the end to close things out. I was always informed of reasonable expectations I felt and of course had my fingers crossed for what the best possible outcome might be. In the end Hailli was able to convince the courts of what she was fighting for and what was best for me. She came recommended from a family friend/attorney and I would certainly recommend her to anyone in this same situation. Again, thank you Hailli, for everything!

Going through a divorce is very hard. So speaking with the right attorney is needed. From the initial consultation, my attorney has been with me every step of the way. From the paperwork to zoom calls, I've never felt like I was going through this alone. If you're looking for an attorney who has compassion and empathy, look no further. I'm grateful for your assistance.

Attorney Okunade Aird is amazing at her job! She is so caring and is sure to explain everything in a way you understand. She assured us through the process that she would take great care of us and she most certainly did!! I had no idea what was involved or where to start for a legal name change and she facilitated it with such ease! You will not be disappointed with your representation in going with Attorney Aird! I've already referred her to friends for similar issues/cases!

After consulting with Eric, in 2012, we hired him to handle my mother in law's estate. He implemented a trust and filed an application for a Veteran's Widow' pension, for financial assistance in her care. The application was approved and the additional money was a godsend in helping with the cost of her care. Anytime I had a question I would call the office and they were wonderful. I was never made to feel that my silly questions weren't important. Sadly, my mother in law passed away last year. A simple phone call to the office provided me with assistance in finalizing her estate. Because of the depth of his knowledge in estate planning all of her assets were protected. Eric, Clelia and their entire staff Are absolutely wonderful.

My experience with Eric and his team has been amazing. I had no clue about what I needed to do or know before I began this process. Being uncertain is why I put it off for so long. At the beginning of this process I immediately hit a road block with an Attorney that I was uncomfortable with which caused me to step back. Eric's staff put me in contact with him and we clicked right away. He made sure I understood all the mechanics of the planning process before we moved on. I couldn't be happier with Eric's firm and Friendly staff as well.

I did a conservatorship for my Mom of 92 with Dementia at The Probate House . Very hard thing to have to process and deal with. Worked with Sibylle Grebe and her assistant Nikki. They were very professional and easy to work with. They made me feel like I was more than just a client. Very compassionate. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of this service.

A very long overdue thank you to Sibylle Grebe and Lorenzo Stoller for taking control of a seemingly out-of-control situation during the early days of Covid in 2020 in protecting my father and his estate from his deceased wife's children. I initially met with Sibylle to have her represent my dad after his wife had passed, in figuring out how to best protect his assets. While she was unable to represent him due to capacity issues, she was able to represent me. Sibylle had me move quickly to find the original trust documents which had likely been drafted without much input from my father a few years earlier, floating everything from making sure I had co-power of attorney and co-trustee powers on all the documents to considering a conservatorship. Lorenzo then took over the case and seamlessly helped draft new documents that protected my father and helped me keep oversight over his wife's children. My dad now resides with me in Washington state, and has since regained some capacity. Although he has shaky recollection of that year due to the stress of his grief and Covid, I am forever grateful to The Probate House for doing what needed to be done to protect the livelihood for which he had worked his entire life as a physician in Los Angeles. At 85, he has never been happier and is healthy. As a former estate planning and probate attorney, The Probate House is easily the best. Thank you, Sibylle and Lorenzo.

I highly recommend this firm to handle your estate needs. Sibylle, Lorenzo and their dedicated staff are simply as good as you'll ever find to handle these matters. They are friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, informative and have your best interest at heart. Estates and trusts can get complicated and messy. You will need proficient attorneys to navigate this process to successful completion. After talking with a few other attorneys, it was clear that The Probate House was by far the most qualified firm to hire. Give them a call today, you'll be glad you did!!

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:

    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.

    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.

  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.

    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
