Matthew Hudman has been great. He helped me get my divorce after struggling for so many years with other divorce lawyers who seemed like they didn't want to help me. He did it ! He gave me my freedom and life back. I will for ever be grateful for that and the entire law office. Everyone is always so nice and sincere.

Larry Walton helped me tremendously as the executor of my grandmother's estate who passed away suddenly in January. He and his assistant Netty kept up and assisted me with all document filings and arrangements that had to be made during this very difficult time in my life. I have known Larry for a long time and he has always been a true friend and I will always be grateful to him. I would definitely recommend Larry to any one needing legal assistance in the future.

Larry Walton was recommended to me by my best friend's grandmother who had known him many years. He accepted my case after i laid out the facts and handled it with the upmost amount of professionalism and skill. He was always available to answer any questions I had and his assistant Netty also was very accommodating when I had any questions. Larry helped me reach a settlement in my case that far exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend him to anybody needing legal assistance.

01 Aug, 2018 by No more back child support
I felt I was getting completely man handled by the Attorney Generals office before I contacted Mrs. Randall to assist in my case. She was able to represent me in a meeting between the AG and my child's mother that resulted in a complete reduction in my past due child support plus a dramatic decrease in my current child support. She was really transparent throughout the entire situation. I felt like she truly had my back.

Be'Atrice took over my custody case from a previous lawyer I hired and got right to the point to win my case. Anytime I was unsure about what was going on or what something meant she explained it in detail so that I understood. I appreciated The Randall Law firm's professionalism and honesty! I feel like the weight of the world is off of my shoulders. I have already recommended this lawyer/law form to several other people.

A special thanks to Jarred and Nancy for their exceptional support and dedication. They went above and beyond to make a complex situation easier to manage, and I truly appreciate their hard work.
I highly recommend Quan Law Group to anyone in need of top-tier immigration services. Their team, particularly Jarred and Nancy, was instrumental in making my process successful!

We were incredibly please with our attorney, Kathryn Karam, at Quan Law. She was very patient with answering all of our questions and kept us updated of our case status along the way. Each time there was a hiccup, and boy did we have a few, she always had a plan to move forward and presented us with our options. She was always up to date on the latest immigration news and trends and often could anticipate issues before they arose. All of the staff that we worked with were friendly and quick to respond to our inquiries. Thankfully, we have closed this chapter but if we ever needed them again, we would choose Quan Law!

Thank you to Quan Law firm and in particular the outstanding support of Ms. Kathryn Karam who has been instrumental in my roughly 8-year journey from an NIW green card through to achieving US Naturalization last week. There were several curveballs thrown along the way and Kathryn excels in managing to resolve tricky situations and suggest viable pathways to progress forward. I would highly recommend her services for anyone needing a US Immigration attorney based in the Houston area.

Mehdi took the time to listen to us and determine we would fight against a big banking institution and ultimately, we received the outcome we wanted. Other attorneys were not willing to take on the fight so we appreciate that Mehdi had the courage to do so.

I had the opportunity to work with Mehdi on my ex-husband's immigration case, and I am compelled to share my positive experience. Despite facing significant challenges due to my ex-husband's lack of diligence and incorrigible behavior, Mehdi demonstrated remarkable patience, thoroughness, and competence throughout the process.
Mehdi's deep understanding of the inner workings of the USCIS and ICE systems was evident from the start. His ability to navigate these layered systems and provide clear guidance was instrumental in moving our case forward, even when setbacks and delays were caused by my ex-husband's irresponsibility. Both my mother-in-law and I tried to support the process as much as possible, and Mehdi's professional demeanor and steadfast dedication were greatly appreciated.
From beginning to end, Mehdi's commitment to our case never wavered. He was always available to answer questions and provide updates, ensuring that we were well-informed at every stage. His thorough approach and strategic thinking gave us confidence that we were in capable hands. Though at times he grew displeased and annoyed with the trajectory of our case, and rightfully so. He was often busy and occasionally out of office for certain stents of time. There were times of delayed emails and phone responses, where his no nonsense approach was evident in addressing the issue, the concern and to end the phone call once addressed quite frankly. If you lack patience and understanding of one’s time, especially in pressing matters, you might find these acts upsetting or off putting. For the most part, all things considered, I did not. However, If you seek "yes men" energy, exaggerated conversations and hand holding, this lawyer is probably not for you. Mehdi is compassionate and patient, yet very direct and blunt about what he needs and expects from you. I must add that I came to understand and appreciate a lawyer of his stature, especially given the intensity of the matter.
Although the outcome was impacted by factors beyond Mehdi's control, his efforts and representation were nothing short of commendable. I highly recommend Mehdi Cherkaoui to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and diligent immigration lawyer who will go above and beyond to achieve the best possible results.
Thank you, Mehdi, for your unwavering support and expertise.

I cannot thank Lindsey enough for making the divorce process as stress-free and efficient as possible. After dealing with a previous attorney who mismanaged my case, Lindsey stepped in and completely turned things around. She was responsive and completely transparent throughout the process.
I never had to chase her for updates or to file documents on important dates—she always kept me informed and handled everything with utmost professionalism. If you're looking for a divorce attorney who is thorough, responsive, and truly cares about her clients, I highly recommend Lindsey. I’m incredibly grateful for her hard work and dedication.

I am a disabled military veteran, and this agency represents my homeowners association. Every time I go into compliance with what they are asking me to do, they change what they are asking me to do. Now they are requesting me to paint my house that was approved to be the color. It is 10 years ago. I am a single parent with 2 autistic children and cannot afford this and I don’t understand why I should paint my house again after 10 years when there is nothing wrong with the color other than they don’t like it. The paint is not chipped, this is an intimidation tactic. So much for protecting veterans.

Long over due review.. I have delayed my review because I wanted to wait for my nightmare to be over! Mr. Jarett was referred to me by a friend of a friend. I was dealing with a scammer that would claim to pay off your late mortgage, sell your home even offered to gift you some of your equity. But it’s all a scam - it’s really called “equity stripping” - then you still own the home and you will never see any of your equity. Long story short! My ex signed the docs but I am a realtor and took my time to read the contract. Where they clearly stated that they didn’t have to pay off your late mortgage. It was gibberish!So thankful that I took the time to read the contract, like every page. Anyways, in comes Mr. Jarett and he took control of the situation as quickly as possible. We went to court obviously the crooks were served but they never showed up. By luck when I went to check on the house the squatters had moved out. Because, they were paying the scammers, while I was paying the mortgage and they thought they had purchased the home. I warned them not to pay the crooks anymore money. I changed the locks - they changed them. Jarett stepped in and drew up another legal document and posted it on my home. Look, this man is the best attorney I have come across because I called a minimum of 6 other attorneys who turned my case down. It’s like my drama wasn’t important enough for them to put their credentials to work. I finally sold the house last year in 2023 and this happened in 2019. Since then, I have asked him to prepared my mothers Will, my personal documents and I always refer him out to my friends that are going through a divorce, etc. Lastly, if I email him is prompt and professional as always! This is my attorney for life!

I have been lied to and cheated by attorneys over and over again. I have never believed in justice for the little guy. Ive never seen it happen. Mr Larochelle to my delight is as concerned and kind as the day is long. I'm hoping he will be able to help me with my legal issues as he has said he would/could. The point being i trust and believe in Mr. Larochelle and that's everything you would want in any person but without trust you have nothing. Extremely admirable and rare qualities to find in anyone especially an attorney. he has my vote of confidence.

The case and conversation has nothing to do with hospitality, what an idiotic line. Did they have a bad meal last night? Why say that? Give this unprofessional law firm a very very wide birth.

Julia Rios was brought back in to Morley and was AMAZING. Follow up and getting in touch with people was very difficult at the beginning. Once she was there, she completely on top of it. Her and Gloria got me my check mailed out within a month or so of them taking over the case. Highly recommend Morley as hope Julia gets assigned to your case! She got me more money than expected.

I hired Troy to assist with a contested probate of my father's will in July 2022. Over the next few months, multiple emails were exchanged between myself and the other beneficiary discussing the estate which Troy ignored. I fired Troy in November 2022 because almost no action had been taken on the case and I had not heard from Troy in months. After firing Troy, I had to demand the return of what was left of my retainer. Troy's office responded with a bill that was almost exactly the amount of my retainer. Further inspection of the bill showed that Troy charged for reading but not responding to emails and that he had artificially inflated his hours for phone calls when compared to my call records.
Troy is an unethical shyster and a thief. Do not do business with this man.

What a Probate Lawyer Can Do for You
A probate lawyer assists with the legal process of administering a deceased person’s estate. This often involves guiding executors (if a will exists) or beneficiaries (if no will exists) through the probate process to settle the estate according to the deceased’s wishes or applicable laws. Probate lawyers can help validate the will, distribute assets, resolve disputes among heirs, handle outstanding debts or taxes, and ensure the estate is legally and efficiently administered.
Whether you’re an executor of an estate or an heir facing probate proceedings, a probate lawyer can help you navigate the often-complex legal process to ensure the estate is settled correctly.
When Should I Hire a Probate Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a probate lawyer when you are responsible for managing the estate of a deceased individual, especially in the following situations:
- The estate has substantial assets: If the estate includes significant assets like real estate, investments, or business interests, legal assistance is often necessary to handle the distribution properly.
- The will is being contested: If there are disputes among heirs regarding the validity of the will or the division of assets, a probate lawyer can help resolve the conflict.
- The estate includes complex or unclear provisions: If the will contains complicated instructions or there are no clear beneficiaries, a lawyer can ensure that the estate is administered according to legal requirements.
- There is no will (intestate estate): When a person dies without a will, the estate is subject to intestacy laws, which determine how assets are distributed. A probate lawyer can help navigate this process.
- Debt or tax issues exist: If the estate owes significant debts or is subject to estate taxes, a probate lawyer can help ensure debts are paid appropriately and taxes are minimized.
- Probate disputes: If family members or other parties are disputing the distribution of assets or challenging the executor's actions, legal representation is crucial to defending your rights and ensuring the estate is handled properly.
Hiring a probate lawyer early in the process can help avoid costly mistakes and ensure the estate is settled efficiently.
What Does a Probate Lawyer Do?
A probate lawyer provides a wide range of legal services to help manage and settle an estate. Their tasks can include:
- Validating the will: Filing the will with the probate court and ensuring its legal validity.
- Guiding executors or administrators: Advising the person responsible for managing the estate on their duties, including inventorying assets, notifying creditors, and paying debts.
- Filing necessary paperwork: Preparing and submitting the legal documents required to initiate and complete the probate process.
- Resolving disputes: Mediating or litigating disputes among heirs or between beneficiaries and executors, including challenges to the will or disagreements over asset distribution.
- Handling debt and tax matters: Ensuring that outstanding debts, taxes, and estate taxes are properly calculated and paid from the estate’s assets.
- Distributing assets: Ensuring that assets are distributed to the beneficiaries according to the will or intestacy laws, and that all legal requirements are fulfilled.
- Closing the estate: Completing the final steps of the probate process, including filing a final accounting with the court and formally closing the estate.
How Are Probate Lawyers Paid?
Probate lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the estate and the nature of the legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: Most probate lawyers charge by the hour, with rates depending on the lawyer’s experience and the complexity of the estate. Hourly rates can range from $150 to $500 or more.
- Flat fee: For simple estates or straightforward probate tasks, some lawyers may charge a flat fee that covers all of the necessary legal work.
- Percentage of the estate: In some states, probate lawyers are allowed to charge a percentage of the estate's value as their fee. This percentage typically ranges from 2% to 5%, depending on the size of the estate and state regulations.
- Retainer fee: Some lawyers may require an upfront retainer fee, which is billed against as the probate process progresses.
It’s important to clarify the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how you will be charged and avoid unexpected costs.
How Much Does a Probate Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a probate lawyer depends on several factors, including the complexity of the estate, the type of legal issues involved, and the lawyer’s fee structure. General cost estimates include:
- Simple estates: For estates with straightforward assets and no disputes, probate legal fees can range from $2,500 to $10,000, depending on the lawyer's fees and the state's probate laws.
- Complex estates: For larger or more complicated estates with multiple properties, business interests, or disputes, probate costs can exceed $10,000 and may reach $20,000 or more.
- Hourly rates: If charged by the hour, expect rates between $150 and $500, depending on the lawyer’s expertise and geographic location.
- Percentage fees: In some cases, a probate lawyer may charge 2% to 5% of the estate’s value, particularly for larger estates or those involving complex legal matters.
Always ask for a clear estimate of fees during your initial consultation to understand the total cost of probate representation.
Top Questions to Ask a Probate Lawyer
Before hiring a probate lawyer, it’s essential to ask the right questions to ensure you’re hiring someone qualified to handle your estate needs. Key questions include:
-
What experience do you have with probate cases like mine?
Ensure the lawyer has experience with estates of similar complexity, especially if disputes or high-value assets are involved. -
How do you charge for your services?
Ask whether the lawyer charges an hourly rate, a flat fee, or a percentage of the estate, and request a cost estimate. -
What is the likely timeline for my probate case?
While it’s hard to predict exactly, an experienced lawyer can give you a general idea of how long the probate process may take based on the specifics of your estate. -
What steps will you take to manage and distribute the estate?
Ask about the lawyer’s approach to handling debts, taxes, and asset distribution. -
Will you be handling my case personally?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it’s important to know who will be working on your probate case. -
What are potential challenges we may face?
A good lawyer will be able to anticipate possible issues, such as will contests or creditor claims, and explain how they would handle them.
How to Check the Credibility of a Probate Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a reputable probate lawyer, follow these steps to check their credentials and experience:
- Verify their state bar status: Check with your state’s bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary action.
- Look for probate experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in probate law and have experience handling estates of similar complexity.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for online reviews on platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell to see what past clients have said about the lawyer’s probate experience.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their professionalism and expertise in handling probate matters.
- Look for membership in professional organizations: Membership in organizations like the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys (AAEPA) or the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) can indicate a lawyer's commitment to estate and probate law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a probate lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- A copy of the will or trust (if applicable): Bring any estate planning documents left by the deceased, including wills, trusts, or powers of attorney.
- List of assets and debts: Prepare a detailed list of the deceased’s assets (e.g., real estate, bank accounts, investments) and outstanding debts (e.g., loans, mortgages, credit cards).
- Death certificate: Bring a certified copy of the deceased person’s death certificate.
- Contact information for heirs and beneficiaries: Have a list of all individuals or entities named in the will or who are entitled to inherit under intestacy laws.
- Questions about the probate process: Write down any questions you have about the process, costs, and potential issues you might face.
- Relevant financial records: If available, bring any relevant financial documents, such as bank statements, property deeds, and tax returns.
By coming prepared, you can ensure a productive consultation and allow the lawyer to provide the best advice for your situation.
