DO NOT hire Amanda Williams as a GAL. The bias and incompetence demonstrated while assigned to my sons child custody case was staggering.
She displayed clear signs of bias when she took his exs word as gospel and was completely wrong about her. The ex has now dumped the children and moved out of state.
Williams drug her feet in regards to the timely submission of required court documents causing my son to have restricted contact with the children. This problem also caused him to pay an additional six months of child support costing him thousands.
She ignored details from his daughter’s counselor that were vital to the case. She also forced my son into supervised visits which he had to pay for that gained her a profit.
There’s more but I’ll cut it short for now. In conclusion just like the old saying “ the man who defends himself in court, has a fool for a client” the same is true for anyone who hires Amanda Williamson.
IF YOU LOVE YOUR CHILDREN DO NOT HIRE THIS WOMAN!
/———-/—————-/—————/—————
Just got done reading the weak response from Williamson. In reply, I made it clear from the start that I wasn’t the client. Not appearing are any denials. I have a large folder of every document you and my son exchanged including the emails and texts that you absolutely ignored.
Everything you did, or did not do is documented. You can brush it off by saying I wasn’t your client but that doesn’t change the incompetencies of you and your firm. I hope for the public’s sake you retire soon. Being part of the good old boy system does not relieve you of your obligations. Again-DO NOT HIRE THIS WOMAN!
Apparently Williams is upset over someone telling the truth about their firm’s incompetence. I stand behind every statement made in the review and I challenge these clowns to a public discussion about their incompetence. I’ve said from the start that I wasn’t the client. You keep harping on that fact instead of focusing on the problem at hand which is your absolutely horrendous handling of my son’s case.
Inappropriate? That’s the word that comes to mind when you call yourself an attorney.

Absolutely horrible to have to feel like you’re forcing someone to do their job and even more so to discover they are following every social media account of the other party, even their dog’s, but have you blocked and claim to have never been biased. I wish I had seen her reviews sooner. You know you’re at the bottom of the food chain when you have to have your own paralegal give you a good review to balance out your account!

Would highly recommend. He explained everything in great detail and in a way that's easy to understand. He walked and guided me through the whole bankruptcy process from start to finish. He not only made it look easy but also stressfree. Definitely shows he cares for his clients.

Mark Carter was amazing. I was put in a weird position by another attorney from a different firm. Mark helped to straighten the situation out. I was dealing with medical issues and he did not rush or pressure me. His assistant Tracey was just as awesome as Mark. I’m very pleased with the service that I got!

I believe someone working or has worked for this company has/was doing illegal activities. For an example, Shehana Buksh sent a Will and Testament to someone via email without thoroughly verifying if that individual was the correct person.
Also, the document looked like it was illegally edited.

My sister and her husband were looking for a lawyer that could help prepare a Last Will and Testament, as well as Power of Attorney’s. We read about a lawyer named “Amber” working there that had great reviews. It seems those wonderful reviews were too modest. This young lawyer is absolutely amazing she put everything in terms that elderly layperson can understand and did it all for a very reasonable fee. Do yourself a favor and choose Amber you won’t be disappointed.

Paul Drayna was the best of the three lawyers I interacted with and I'm glad I chose him to help me through a property line issue. He took time to listen to my issue, let me know my standing, and responded to the other party on my behalf. The rate was very reasonable and he was able to help me within one hour since the issue was dropped. Thank you for alleviating my concern on this issue and helping me through what I thought was going to be much more stressful.

I was recently referred to Woodinville Law by a family member so that I could finally get my 20 yr old estate plan updated. I found their office to be very warm and welcoming by their wonderful receptionist, Andrea with her beautiful smile and offer of refreshment as she would lead me to the conference room for my meeting with Amber Hunt. I felt an instant connection with Amber at our first meeting and just knew she was the going to be the perfect attorney for me. And she did not disappoint. In fact she went above and beyond my wildest expectations. Amber is open, warm and friendly and totally professional at the same time. She answered all my questions (lots), and did an amazing job on my new estate plan. She was prompt and it was so impressively put together, it exceeded my expectations by miles. I also really appreciate the fact that Amber prefers to charge a flat fee for her services, as opposed to the usual hourly rate/by the minute policy many attorney's use. As such I knew exactly what my plan was going to cost right up front and didn't need to worry about it costing more if it became more complicated than anticipated (it didn't). All my phone calls and/or emails were handled promptly and if Amber was otherwise engaged, then her terrific right hand assistant Jacob was immediately all over it. The bottom line, from my experience, is that Amber is not only super smart, very knowledgeable in the estate planning arena, and never made me feel rushed as she patiently answered my umpteen questions, she also made me feel like we were practically best friends. It really felt that comfortable. I tell you, it's really hard to find great customer service these days, but Amber and her team have it in spades. I highly recommend Amber L. Hunt at Woodinville Law for all your estate planning needs and I feel certain she will not disappoint and you will be at least as impressed as I have been.

Nathan and Anna handled a very complex, in depth mortgage issue involving a quiet title action for me. This issue had plagued me for many years. Once retained, they hit the ground running, sifting through the many legal issues involving this matter with professionalism and expertise and they quickly settled my case to my complete satisfaction. I highly recommend them.

Our family suffered the loss of a loved one in a tragedy, and we contacted Nathan Sukhia at Gig Harbor Law for help. After an initial review of the facts, one of the first things he did was recommend we team up with another firm with extensive experience and success with this sort of case. During the entire process, we were very pleased with the level of expertise, professionalism, sensitivity, and communications. We recently settled the case, and we are very pleased with the outcome. We heartily recommend Gig Harbor Law. We are confident Nathan and his team were able to win the best possible settlement.

The turn over rate at the office must be very high, we had a garnishment case so we paid all of our fees upfront. Every time we called for a status update we spoke with a different paralegal. Finally after weeks of not hearing anything, we received a call from a paralegal named Ashley. She was wonderful and imformative and put our concerns at ease. She was abke to wrap our case quickly. When we paid our fees we were told by Mr. Sukhia that it would take no more than 3 months. But by the time Ashley closed our case it took almost 9 months total. We fell through the cracks.

September 12th, 2022 police arrived at my door to tell me they were investigating sexual claims made against me, outlandish as they were I immediately panicked because as everyone knows, once these rise against you, you’re pretty much screwed. I immediately reached out to any attorney and was recommended Vindicate law, I spoke to the receptionist and explained the case and was assigned Carrie Fulton Brown. She accepted my case. The path to freedom was long and arduous. After the arraignment they told me I was facing 60 years in prison. Many continuations later, my anxiety and stress were at an all time high. Me and Carrie never really talked to each other about the case itself except a few times as my case was entirely hearsay, but because of the fact that it was from a minor the case was stacked against me 10 fold. Communication with Carrie was very rough, as most people sitting in the hot seat just want a shred or a glimmer of positivity but Carrie did NOT deliver on that front in the slightest. But that was okay, because she was dedicated to working against the state in a screwed up system. Most of the beginning of my case I knew most people and even Carrie didn’t believe me when I say I didn’t do it. Later on I passed 3 polygraph tests trying to prove I didn’t do it, and only after the 3rd one when I passed it with the actual prosecutor / State did Carrie tell me she strongly believes I didn’t do it. She gave me the best options to follow forward and going to trial with a minors words against mine was bleak, Carrie fought for the best outcome, I served 0 days in jail, no fees or Fines, Didn’t have to sign a sexual registry, all 4 counts were dropped to a Class C Abuse of a child. And 1 year of DOC Probation in which I spent 3 weeks on before the DOC discharged me from probation saying my crime didn’t fit criteria of having probation as I was a zero risk person and this was the only thing I’ve ever gotten on my record.
All said and done, I’m glad Carrie pulled through for me and allowed me to stay out of prison and remain with my family and to continue working she’s a tough person to understand and rough around the edges when talking to her but she’s nothing but business which is what you want in an attorney. Thanks Carrie for giving me my life back! 60 years was a long time to be away.

I am absolutely appalled by the complete lack of professionalism and utter disregard for my situation shown by Carrie Fulton Brown from this Law Group. I entrusted her with my case, believing her promises of dedicated representation, and instead, I received nothing but empty words and an empty bank account. She happily accepted my retainer, and then proceeded to do absolutely nothing. During the 6 months period she was my attorney, before her withdrawal, phone calls went unanswered, meetings/appointments were canceled for no apparent reasons. No investigations were done on my case, she did not interview no witnesses, and the so called ”victim“. Furthermore, Carrie had the audacity to tell me I was borderline harassing her by calling her and her incompetent paralegal Lisa too much. She literally took my money and vanished into thin air. Carrie Fulton Brown is a trash of attorney. I suffered significantly due to her inaction, and I was left feeling completely abandoned and betrayed. I would strongly advise anyone considering hiring her to look elsewhere. Save your money, save your time, and save yourself the immense frustration and disappointment. She is a disgrace to the legal profession.

I would definitely recommend the Terry Law Firm to manage any process relating to estates and wills after death. My process was pretty much flawless. After giving all the pertinent information to the law firm they facilitated the process, all I had to do was wait for the final outcome. Please keep in mind the process does not happen overnight. Have patience and let the firm do the work and I guarantee you will have a positive result. I give thanks to Kelly and the Terry Law Firm and will recommend their services to friends and family in the future.

Our experience with Vijay and his office was disappointing and frustrating. In my opinion, it seems like Vijay's practice is designed for clients who fit within a streamlined, cookie-cutter process, where volume is prioritized over individualized service—at least this was the impression we received from his front office staff. Despite being told by our legal plan that the wait time would be up to 3 weeks, we were informed after contacting the office that we would need to wait 9 weeks for an appointment. When we tried to gather basic information about the services provided, the paralegal, Grace, was curt and unwilling to engage in a conversation about whether Vijay could handle our specific needs. This lack of transparency made it difficult for us to make an informed decision about whether working with Vijay would be the right fit. Ultimately, after a long wait, we were told that Vijay would not be able to assist with our estate planning. The entire process felt inefficient and left us feeling as though our concerns were not taken seriously.
In my opinion, Vijay would benefit from improving the training of his front office staff to handle situations like ours more professionally. While I understand that Vijay may have had positive experiences with other clients, this was certainly not the case for us. Having worked with many attorneys over the years, I can confidently say that this was not a typical experience.

My wife and I needed a will drafted and picked Vijay since he was available through my workplace's legal plan and well reviewed. Our goal was to set up something fairly simple that would take care of our assets should we both pass at once. Our assets are not massively complex and we just needed something that was relatively straight-forward, yet legally binding in how our assets should be disbursed.
Vijay opened with explaining how a Trust was the correct route for us. My wife and I were concerned about some of the complexities involved in setting up a Trust and emphasized we just wanted something fairly simple that would hold up should anything get challenged in court. He confirmed that a Will would in fact accomplish what we wanted yet he still continued to insist that a Trust was the much better option for reasons we had clearly indicated earlier were not important to us.
We explicitly acknowledged his advice, over-ruled it, and let him know we'd still prefer a Will. He mentioned we should get a follow-up from his office in a few days. A month later we have yet to hear anything from his office.
The entire experience left us wondering if he felt he wasn't adequately compensated by our legal plan for setting up a Will and was more interested in the potential revenue he'd generate by setting up a Trust for us. Which is distinctly not the impression I'd like to have of my attorney.
At this point, we're starting this process over with a new attorney and we would not recommend his practice to others.

My wife and I set up a family trust with Vijay. He was complete, knowledgable and very professional. We had 2 meetings, one to assess the design of the trust and one to sign all the papers. More important than the process (which Vijay has honed to be very efficient) is that the structure of the trust will provide for our kids in every conceivable eventuality. The materials Vijay gave us helped us think through them all and Vijay was available to consult on any subtle points.
Very satisfied with not just the service rendered but that legal vehicle that we established will take care of our kids.

Almost a year ago I found my business in a position that threatened our financial viability due to the actions of a third party. I began the search for a new business lawyer and interviewed half a dozen firms without feeling as though they would be the right fit. Two minutes into my conversation with David Betz, I knew he was the perfect lawyer to represent our interests. Since then, Mr. Betz has become an integral part of our business operations. Not only was he successful in negotiating the original matter we brought him on for, but he has remained a close legal advisor and wealth of knowledge and advice. Mr. Betz communicates thoroughly, acts promptly, and approaches all matters with professionalism and expertise.

Was referred to this firm by multiple people/ lawyers. I shouldn't have even wasted my time. Got more of a story about how they sympathize for my situation but basically because I'm a federal employee I'm not entitled to the same rights of protection as the general public, according to them. This is even with a judgment from the county court in my favor in regards to the matter. They just simply couldn't help with the employment matter. I suggest looking elsewhere for legal help.

I injured both of my arms right and left. Falling downstairs doing in home care. On the day of my mediation halfway through, my attorney admitted, he got me confused with another lady in Harrison Idaho, my last name is Harrison. As I wanted to hold out , while the mediator joked and made light of work injuries, I am right handed.My right arm doesn't work correctly, I did a lot of work in my church. I am a homemaker. I take a lot of pride in my home being a place of comfort and inviting to people, I used to bake and feed people, and so the job that I had for wages, wasn't my main job, even though I didn't bring home a salary for it. My" job" was taking care of my home and my church and my husband and serving god with my two hands. The thing I did to make money injured me, because the lady I was working for didn't let me know that her staircase ,in the spring would move when the basement flooded. It moved.I fell, I hurt my right elbow and my left wrist, and now all the things I used to do to serve God and others I cannot do any longer. None of this meant anything to my attorney at the mediation. As I kept holding out because I didn't know how I would end up the rest of my life with these 2 injuries he kept telling me dead. There was gonna be so security disability. There was gonna be a medical fund. And so this was just the first part of the mediation for my injury. I even thought I would just go to court because I thought my case was so different than so many other people At that point, my attorney didn't want to go to court. It was obvious He was not wanting to go to court to represent me, who I am. He told me scary things about, if the judge was in a bad mood, I would lose everything. He, and I am ashamed to say, my husband, with pressure from the "mediator " talked me onto taking an offer, which I knew, would not compensate me for paying people to do for me, what I had always done for myself. Gardening, lawn care, house work, cleaning the church, changing my own oil, recently I paid Ford $600.00 for changing plugs and oil in my truck. This I used to do at a fraction of the cost. But none of this was considered, I was a part time worker to them all. After that nightmare, the medical portion was to be settled, that's when I found out, I didn't have enough "points" for SSI disability, so any leverage from SSI to keep SIF accountable did not exist. My Attorney told me the day of mediation , SSI would cause pressure for SIF to cover me medically...NOT. He was incorrect and when I , out of concer, asked him if he was doing okay, he had made a few errors in my doctors name and other odd statements which didn't pertain to me, he accused me of questioning his integrity and told me I could get a different Attorney. By then I was hurting, depressed and totally vulnerable and my attorney, the one person who supposedly knows the ins and outs of the system, chewed me out and threatened me that I could "go it alone" if I thought I could do better. I couldn't make any decisions, I was so down. I didn't think the Attorney was going to take part of the medical bank. I thought he got paid for working the entire case from my mediation, so I didn't think I could pay up front for another attorney, just another thing I misunderstood when my attorney told me the medical is put in the bank, in my name and I had comple control over it. I was told it is a new way SIF and all other workers comp. In Idaho are now doing things, rather than keep a claim open for treatment. I am not pleased at all. My best intrest was not even considered. All because in the beginning my Attorney didn't ever find out and set in his mind, who I am.

I have known Soloman for over 35 years, we went to high school together.
When my teenage son was injured, I called and Soloman helped us so much. The legal case was long, drawn out, and complex. Soloman stayed in great communication with us all the way. He was reassuring, confident, and worked out a settlement that was unexpected, in a great way. I would highly recommend Soloman Law, 110%!

I was lost in the sea of legal family law paperwork, thinking I could do it on my own. I needed help. Meredith took the time to listen to me, understand what was going on, where I was at in the process and what I wanted to accomplish. She offered several options, everything from; here is your recommended next step to be able to continue on my own, to offering various levels of assistance for me to choose from. She was very conscious of my budget. She took the time to explain the process and set expectations. So thankful for her putting me at ease, sharing her knowledge and experience to get my situation handled in an effortless manner.

I would NOT recommend this lawyer. My documents were full of errors that I had to point out and have her correct and then get charged for fixing the mistakes that she made. My name was spelled incorrectly on the final separation paperwork that was recorded with the courts. When I asked her to change the name, she told me "It didn't matter, because it was right every place else and if I wanted my name changed, that I would have to pay for it"
She had to change a single word in a document and charged me 1/2 to do it.
If you do decide to hire her, be very wary.

Dissolution of Marriage has to be one of the more difficult challenges for an attorney to handle these days. Mrs Graff was excellent. She fully explained the process and time line of events. Handled all the paperwork correctly which created an outcome that met everyone’s expectations. At this point I wouldn’t feel comfortable using any other attorney whenever the need arises because she has set the bar to a higher standard.
Thanks Meredith!

I made the best decision when I chose Catherine Fleming of Fleming Law to represent me in my lawsuit against the city of Seattle. I had a bicycle crash on a poorly marked Seattle street which left me semi-paralyzed and permanently in a wheelchair. Catherine is a personal injury attorney but has a special interest in representing injured cyclists, pedestrians or vehicle drivers who sue municipalities for negligent road design. My case was a complicated one due to a preexisting condition, but Catherine had built a strong case, and the city did not want to risk going to trial. They proposed settling out of court, and during her skillful mediation, I was granted a 7-figure settlement, an amount which far exceeded my expectations and for which I am forever grateful to Catherine. This can only be attributed to her in-depth preparation, knowledge of the law, and prior experience with cases against the city of Seattle.
I found Catherine because of another attorney’s high praise. He is a prominent Seattle attorney, and even though he specializes in bicycle accidents, he said he doesn’t like taking cases like mine, against the city of Seattle, as they were high risk and hard to win. He said there’s only one attorney that he knew of who has won these types of cases, and that’s Catherine Fleming.
It was this referral by another highly reputable attorney and my initial conversation with Catherine that led me to retaining her for my case. She absolutely proved to be the right choice. Catherine is a hardworking perfectionist who skillfully builds a case with tenacity, thoroughness, and an unwavering commitment to fight for her clients.
If you have been injured, either cycling, walking, or driving, and think it may be the result of poor signage or road design (or any other reason), consult with Catherine Fleming at Fleming Law. She is one of a few who has the expertise to take on these cases and has earned respect for her many wins. She has earned mine, and I am most grateful that this large settlement amount brings us a newfound financial freedom and peace of mind for whatever our future holds.

We are so glad we found Catherine Fleming and Fleming Law!
After my wife’s bicycle crash in Seattle and subsequent spinal surgery, we faced an uncertain future. Before, she had been a strong cyclist and active hiker, but now was confined to a wheelchair with incomplete paraplegia.
Not only did we experience the loss of the many activities we had once shared, we now faced looming medical expenses, and the possibility of needing long-term care in the future.
We believed that the area where my wife crashed was confusing and dangerous for bicyclists, but were unsure if we had any hope of recovering anything for damages. Catherine agreed to take us on as clients and worked tirelessly to build our case against the city. She amassed evidence that the street design at the site of the accident was unsafe, and furthermore that the city had been aware of this fact.
As the case progressed, it became clear that we had chosen the right attorney for the job. She demonstrated a thorough understanding of the issues and the law surrounding bicycles and traffic safety. It was also evident that she also commanded the respect of her counterparts in the City Attorney’s Office.
After Catherine guided us through a successful mediation, we were delighted with the settlement. While no amount of money can replace my wife’s mobility, we now face the future with less anxiety.

I made the best decision when I chose Catherine Fleming of Fleming Law to represent me in my lawsuit against the city of Seattle.

I recently had the privilege of working with Rickert Mediation & Arbitration, PLLC, and the experience was nothing short of transformative. From the outset, their balanced approach to mediation was evident. It's rare to find a mediator who not only deeply understands the complexities of legal disputes but also genuinely cares about the emotional and personal wellbeing of all parties involved.
Mr. Rickert, with a combination of professionalism and compassion, navigated through our challenging situation. His insightful guidance and impartiality fostered a space where both sides could be heard and understood, leading to a resolution that respected everyone's needs and concerns.
What truly set Rickert Mediation & Arbitration, PLLC apart was their ability to make a real difference in our lives. It's not just about reaching an agreement; it's about finding a path forward that allows for healing and growth. Their work has positively impacted my life and, most importantly, the life of my son.
I am deeply grateful for their services and cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Rickert Mediation & Arbitration, PLLC, for your dedication and impact. Your work truly matters.

please do not hire this attorney. He did not file my response papers and ruined my adequate cause hearing. He lied to me on numerous occasions that he messaged the other party council when didn't, didn't turn in my papers that the court requested, and didn't fight for me in court to the point that hehad to pay attorney fees to the other party. I had to apologize to my ex's attorney in which they laughed at me. It was embarrassing and hurt me. I went through chemo and lost my son in a very inhumane way cause of my ex's lies and I found mark on thumbtack and gave him my situation and he offered to help only to make my case even worse. I tried contacting him number of times and he barley ever responded. After my cause hearing I let him go and he went MIA for awhile. After hearing from past clients and the state bar that there is a open investigation against him for him doing this to numerous people i was in complete shock. I begged Mark to give me my retainer back and after many attempts he finally emailed me saying he would but than never did. He took his profile off of thumbtack and took down his website for his law office. He is being under investigation and avoiding it. Be aware!

I wish I could write a positive review for Mark but unfortunately I can’t. He completely sabotaged my case. What was a pretty straightforward child modification case turned into a complicated mess that left me beyond stressed. Not only did he break court rules that basically backfired on me and now left me with the unfavorable aftermath but his lack of communication and disinterest in following through and defending his client AND missing court deadlines has caused me a great deal of stress! He broke so many ethical rules, I still can’t believe happened to me! I hired him to help me not destroy me! Please do yourself a big favor and save yourself a great deal of stress by finding a reputable lawyer! Again, I’m sorry I have to write a bad review but if anything positive that I can get from my experience is to let others know so they at least won’t go through what I did! Mark, what you did to me is so wrong on so many levels!

I worked with Greg last year on a very personal matter. I found Greg's attentiveness to be severly lacking. I had to call him every time for an update, and he struggled to update on what was going on.
Of the three times I was in court with him as my attorney, he personally attend a grand total of zero appearances, instead choosing to pay other attorneys, who didn't know my case, to show up.
The last time I met with him in person, he looked through my file as though he had never seen it before, and had no real working knowledge of my case.
I had to make the hard decision to seek another lawyer to complete the legal matter, and sadly, I cannot recommend Greg.

Mr. Magee provided us with estate planning assistance, including writing our wills. He was thoroughly prepared for our first meeting with advice speciifc to our family's situation. When we had questions about the language in our wills he provided thoughtful, clear responses. Mr. Magee was extremely professional throughout the process and even met with us on a Saturday in our neighborhood to witness the signing of our wills. He made the whole process easy and straightforward. We intend to use his services again should we need additional estate planning assistance.

What an Estate Planning Lawyer Can Do for You
An estate planning lawyer helps individuals plan for the management and distribution of their assets after death or during incapacitation. Their services involve drafting important legal documents, such as wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives. Estate planning attorneys work to ensure that your assets are transferred according to your wishes, minimize tax liabilities, and avoid probate court. They also help clients plan for potential long-term care needs and protect their estate from being diminished by healthcare costs.
By working with an estate planning lawyer, you can have peace of mind knowing that your loved ones will be cared for and that your estate will be managed efficiently and according to your desires.

- Special circumstances: If you have minor children, blended families, or complex assets like businesses, an estate planning lawyer can create tailored solutions.
- Guardianship or conservatorship: If you want to designate guardians for minor children or ensure proper care for incapacitated adults, an attorney can help.
Hiring an estate planning lawyer is especially important if your estate is complex or if you want to ensure that your wishes are properly followed.

How Are Estate Planning Lawyers Paid?
Estate planning lawyers typically charge for their services in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of your estate and the type of services you need. Common payment structures include:
- Flat fee: Many estate planning services, such as drafting a will or trust, are charged on a flat-fee basis. The fee covers all work related to preparing the document.
- Hourly rate: For more complex planning, such as estate tax strategy or trust administration, lawyers may charge by the hour. Rates vary based on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Retainer: Some lawyers require a retainer for more complex cases, such as ongoing trust management or estate administration. The retainer is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
It’s important to discuss fees with your lawyer upfront to avoid unexpected costs.

Top Questions to Ask an Estate Planning Lawyer
Before hiring an estate planning lawyer, it’s important to ask questions to ensure they are the right fit for your needs. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What is your experience with estate planning?
Ensure the lawyer has substantial experience drafting wills, creating trusts, and handling other estate planning services. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a flat fee or by the hour and ask for a detailed estimate of costs. -
What strategies do you recommend for my estate?
A good lawyer should be able to explain the best strategies for minimizing taxes, avoiding probate, and ensuring your assets are distributed according to your wishes. -
How often should I update my estate plan?
Ask how frequently you should revisit your estate plan, especially if your financial situation or family dynamics change. -
Do you offer ongoing support or updates?
Some lawyers provide periodic reviews or updates to ensure your estate plan stays current with changes in your circumstances or the law. -
How will you help my beneficiaries if something happens to me?
Ensure the lawyer is willing to guide your heirs through the estate administration process or help manage your trust after you’re gone.
How to Check the Credibility of an Estate Planning Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible estate planning lawyer, follow these steps:
- Verify their state bar license: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing, with no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for estate planning certifications: Some lawyers are certified as estate planning specialists, which indicates they have extensive knowledge in this area of law.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online reviews on sites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell can provide insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and client satisfaction.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from previous clients who can speak to their expertise and client service.
- Check for membership in professional organizations: Lawyers who are members of organizations like the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) or the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC) often have a strong reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with an estate planning lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- List of assets and liabilities: Provide a detailed inventory of your assets, including real estate, bank accounts, retirement funds, investments, and personal property, as well as any debts you may have.
- List of beneficiaries: Be ready to discuss who you want to receive your assets and in what proportions. This includes naming guardians for minor children if applicable.
- Existing estate documents: Bring copies of any existing wills, trusts, powers of attorney, or other relevant estate planning documents.
- Questions about your estate goals: Write down your goals, such as avoiding probate, reducing taxes, or setting up charitable donations, so your lawyer can tailor a plan to meet your needs.
- Information on medical and financial decision-makers: Be prepared to discuss who you want to appoint for healthcare and financial decisions if you become incapacitated.
By being well-prepared, you can ensure a productive consultation and begin building a comprehensive estate plan that meets your needs and protects your loved ones.
