Arpita Legha demonstrated not only a deep understanding of the law but also a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for my case. What impressed me most was their ability to explain complex legal concepts in a way that was easy to understand. They took the time to listen to my concerns and provided thoughtful, strategic advice that made me feel confident throughout the process. Their professionalism, combined with a personal touch, made a potentially stressful situation much more manageable. The firm’s dedication to their clients is evident in everything they do. They kept me informed every step of the way and were always available to answer any questions I had. I felt supported and valued as a client, which made a significant difference. Overall, if you are in need of legal representation, I wholeheartedly recommend Oxner Legha Law Firm. They are a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and compassionate team that truly goes above and beyond for their clients. Thank you for all your hard work!

My family used the Holland Elder Care Law team to help us when our previous attorneys suddenly closed shop without warning us and my Dad's Medicaid status was not renewed. Michael Holland and Martin Sabel did an excellent job gathering the information, filing the right forms and ultimately needed to bring the HHS of Texas to court for failing to make a timely determination of benefits. I am an attorney myself but this area of law is so convoluted and so tricky that you really need someone on your side who knows how all of this works and can navigate the waters safely. They were instrumental in restoring my dad's Medicaid benefits. I highly recommend them.

I can't thank the staff at Holland Elder Law Firm enough for all they've done to help get my mother on Medicaid. My family and I found out very quickly how hard it is to apply on your own. We were recommended to Martin Sabel and he was such a pleasure to work with. He was very sympathetic to our situation and went through this with us every step of the way. He was available to answer every question we had and had so much patience with us. There is no way this would've gotten done without their help. They really do all the difficult parts of this process. To Martin, Michael, Susan & Kathy, thank you for all the help and support. My family is so grateful to you all. If your looking for help with Medicaid, please give Holland Elder Law Firm a chance. You won't be disappointed.

We would like to express a huge thank you to the team at the Holland Law Firm, especially Martin, Kathy and Susan. When we realized we needed to apply for Medicaid for my mother, we had no idea where to start or how to proceed. We are so grateful that we were led to the team at Holland Law Firm. They were kind, professional, knowledgeable and very well organized. It is clear that they care about their clients and have a true passion for what they do. We would highly recommend them.

I was skeptical about being able to remove a Federal tax lien Voss filed on 6 different properties. Rhett gathered all necessary documents, organization, tax returns, all federal filings, and proved it was filed erroneously on me. He followed through with the IRS weekly. Once Rhett was able to reach a name in the IRS that dealt with this particular problem, he dug his heals in and was able to release lien from start to finish in less than 90 days. Way to go Rhett!!again, Andrew Thanks

I consulted with Attorney Buck regarding a tax reporting error with the IRS through the non profit organization I was working with in 2018. He took the time to listen and put me at ease with his professionalism and evident experience with issues like mine. He took over my case and handled all further communication with the IRS until it was finally resolved. Thank you so much Mr. Buck! I will refer you any time someone I know is in need of your services.

Non fake review. I also have paperwork I can load with pictures that I was a client if this were to get denied. I should have placed this review long time ago. They dropped the ball on my case I paid a lot of money for them to only lose the evidence on court day. They simply said there’s nothing we can do. In his video he explains how he likes to get people and court while there defenses are low. That is an accurate description of how they act when they can’t/ couldn’t win against the court. they take the same approach to their customers after that. If they’re willing to fix this problem without additional cost to myself I’d be glad to change the review.

Grant Scheiner was recommended to me by a friend when I found myself needing an Attorney. I was being charged with a felony and would soon be arrested. I was terrified and at a loss as to what to do. I contacted Grant. During our conversation, Grant was able to calm me down and let me know he would be by my side the whole way. During the process, Grant and Macie were able to get me a plea. The Plea reduced the charges to a misdemeanor with two years’ probation. Grant is very knowledgeable of the law, effective and very personable. I feel extremely fortunate to have had Grant and Macie on my side during my ordeal. I am incredibly grateful to both of them for their help. The Scheiner Law Group is the team you want when you need an Attorney.

My divorce was a very difficult time and I was grateful that I was represented by Lawrence Behrmann. He prepared me for every step of the process and made sure he knew what my goals were and what was most important to me. He knew when to counsel and when to listen, and provided timely advice on a personal level in a manner above and beyond what he was paid to do. He was very available and there were many problems that I encountered after office hours that he was able to counsel me through in a timely manner. He was very judicious in the use of his time, and saved me a lot of money by knowing what was important to do and what things did not need to be researched more. He was able to finalize a very contentious divorce by requesting the right information at the right time, and that information allowed me to have more time with the children. I have referred another friend to him and he had an experience similar to mine. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that needs a strong, compassionate and caring attorney.

Testimonial for Gerard Lynch from David McAllister August 29, 2024 On April 25th 2009 while working as a public school teacher I suffered a massive double stroke. After getting out of the hospital I tried to go back to work and was told I was too sick to remain with the Fort Worth Independent School District and was terminated on April 15th 2010. While talking about my situation with my family doctor she told me I should immediately file for disability. While looking for legal representation from a law firm experienced with Social Security disability I came across the Law Office of Gerard Lynch Social Security Disability Lawyer. When I called the law office I had a very helpful and reassuring three and a half hour conversation with Gerard Lynch. He called Social Security and verified that I met all the criterion for filing for disability. Gerard told me I was within weeks of qualifying but still met the requirements. He told me that it would probably take 18 to 24 months of hearings to receive disability. Gerard told me to be patient but he was certain in the end that I would win. On November 2nd 2012, nineteen months after filing I received a fully favorable decision from Social Security. Everything worked out just a Gerard assured me it would. Thanks, David McAllister

My fiancé hired Elaine Michaels as our family custody lawyer, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. From day one, she made us feel comfortable and confident. She listened to everything we wanted and worked so hard to get us not only what we asked for but even more. Elaine is super easy to talk to, which made this whole stressful process so much easier. She really took the time to explain everything to us in a way we could understand, and we never felt out of the loop. Anytime we had questions, she was there with answers and reassurance. What I love most about Elaine is how much she genuinely cares. You can tell she’s passionate about what she does, and she truly had our back the entire time. She made us feel like a priority and never made us feel like just another case. She’s also insanely good at what she does. Elaine knew exactly how to handle the complicated parts of our case, and she was always calm and in control. Her expertise really showed throughout the process, and because of her, we got the best possible outcome. I can’t recommend Elaine enough. We’ve already told friends and family about her because we know they’d be in good hands. If you need a family custody lawyer who is smart, caring, and dedicated, Elaine is the one to call. We’re so grateful for everything she’s done!

This Law Firm And The Attorney Faizon Stole Money From Me And Knowingly Paid Me The Wrong Amount of money. I never met not one Attorney while they handled my case. Faizon Told The Insurance Company That I needed to have surgery to get more money and I never received it. I Told This to Mr.Barton and He Said That I signed for the wrong Amount Anyway. The Address That is Given For Tis Firm is not Their address They Only Receive Mail There. I DIDN'T EVEN SEE THE CECK THAT INSURANCE SENT THEM AND IDID NOT SIGN IT. I'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS BEFORE AND I KNOW IM SUPPOSED TO SIGN THE CHECK. THEY NEED TO MAKE THIS RIGHT OR I WILL SEEK THE REPRESENTATION INEED TO FAIZON SAID HE KEPT MONEY FROM ME BECAUSE HE JUST HAD A BABY. THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT. I AM GOING TO SEEK REPRESENTATION SOME WHERE ELSE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT

Trey Barton Law and Faizan (lawyer) whom represented me are by far very compassionate, straightforward and honest throughout my time fighting my case of a “Slip and Fall” at a fast food restaurant! They work quickly, very transparent. Faizan definitely explained the process the whole way through which I appreciated with all my frustrations but everything paid off on the end !!! I will definitely say THANK YOU!!!! I do recommend Trey Barton and Associates by far!!!! I’m very happy and pleased with everything and outcome…….

I'm posting this review a year after my case was dismissed (11/23) because, I'm just now encountering the issue. Jim is great, his team is alright. Communicate was difficult sometimes. When I initially talked to him I felt confident and happy with what he was saying and his experience in law- that I would get the results I wanted. He did however make it seem like it would be OFF my record as I have a CDL. I've been in the plants/refineries oil n gas since then. (They never said anything about my background, I assumed the case was gone) The work is great money- Except you travel a lot and have no life. I'm looking to switch into something more local so I can have a life again, and found that the case is still on my background after I thought it would be gone. So, this unfortunately is still effecting me, as a CDL holder. And my impression was it was going to be OFF my record, and he spoke to my father as well, and my father got that impression too. So, just ask your questions thoroughly and precise. Especially about EXPUNGEMENT. (Means completely off your record, no trace of it). And research multiple lawyers too. While I was happy with the results at the time (assuming the case was off my record), I'm just disappointed now. It was a long and trying time, and now I have to wait another year to get it officially expunged. And spend MORE money. So just a honest review and heads up for CDL folk. Note: He is still a good lawyer to have in your corner, just make sure the communication and understanding of what you're getting is crystal clear.

It was a blessing to have chosen The Butler Law firm. I was so scared to lose my CDL license and felt hopeless about my future. I called Jim butler the day after I got arrested and after speaking to him I felt a sense of relief and confident that everything would be okay. Since day one, at my first and only court appearance where I got to compare other lawyers and my lawyer take their turns in front of the judge I immediately knew I had chosen the best attorney for the job. The Butler law firm has the expertise and commitment to get your life back on track!!!!

She represented me in a caring and professional manner in a probate case that was a long winding road. Ms. Ashtari's extensive knowledge in family law along with her personable demeanor made the process much easier. She was very thorough in explaining everything involved in the legal process of my case. Alina displayed a deep understanding and displayed an uncanny grasp of what was most beneficial for me. Her honesty and integrity is hard to find in today's world; especially when looking for competent legal representation. I would definitely recommend her for all legal family related matters.

With just the first consultation, Attorney Lewis gave me both a game plan and confidence to move forward with something I had been fearful to do for sometime. She is the epitome of excellence. I took her advice and it worked in my favor! I am forever grateful. Her rates are reasonable, she’s personable, she has a gift for connecting with her clients, and I would recommend her for all of your legal needs. I pray about everything and every decision. I’m so glad that God led me to Attorney Lewis, she truly has an anointing and we need more attorneys like her out there. She’s genuine and truly cares. I left the consultation with confidence and a very clear plan of my next steps. Unlike some other consultations in the past I’ve had where I left confused about my next steps, Attorney Lewis was so thorough in her explanations, it was extremely clear. No confusion. She took her time and I didn’t feel rushed. This attorneys level of professionalism and thoroughness is unmatched . This was hands down the best consultation I’ve had. I acted quickly, took the advice given and because of this, my family’s life has changed in the BEST way. Thank you so much. . We are forever grateful. I’m looking forward to working with this attorney for my future needs.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. What steps will you take to manage and distribute the estate?
    Ask about the lawyer’s approach to handling debts, taxes, and asset distribution.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
