I reached out to Cari for legal assistance after my ex-husband served me with demands for an out-of-state visitation agreement for our teenage daughter. At the time, I had full physical/legal custody and my daughter was against the proposed travel schedule. Cari was a fierce advocate for both of us. She expertly managed a tense situation with compassion and strength. She stayed level-headed and expertly navigated negotiations no matter what the other side threw at us. From day one, I felt very taken care of and knew I could count on her to respond to all of my questions and keep me well-informed. Cari always took the time to explain the situation to me and the pros and cons of different paths we could take. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, she helped me feel empowered and secure. My daughter and I are in a better place now because of Cari and I encourage anyone in a similar situation to work with Rincker Law. I will always be grateful for Cari’s strategic abilities, attentiveness and interpersonal skills.

Joseph was very helpful with us on getting our security deposit back from our landlord. Gave us all the information we needed and what to expect when it comes to settlements and court cases if needed. He was very helpful in answering our questions we had about certain legal things we didn’t understand properly. He was very kind and he’s Law firm was helpful and very kind from the beginning when filing the settlement. He was very successful on getting our claim settlement settled with the landlords. We ended up recovering x3 more than what our security deposit was. I highly recommend Jospeh for any legal Issues you may have or if anyone you know has legal issues. He is very successful on getting the work accomplished, very kind and very responsive and always keeps you up to date with your legal issue. He gets the job done!

My husband & I had a really great experience with Brabrander Law. Andy is very knowledgeable. I learned so much about laws & our rights just by doing business with him. He really will fight for you until the end. The communication was excellent from beginning to end. Most of the communication was through phone/email which was perfect for working parents with 2 little ones. We called so many firms and carefully read all reviews for each & we are so lucky to have chosen Brabrander Law. I don’t believe we would’ve had an experience as great as this one anywhere else. Thanks Andy!!

I owned a townhouse, which I have been renting for over ten years renting. Recently, after encountering multiple issues with the tenant and rental property management company, I'd decided to not rent it ever again, but to sell it. Within a matter of days, Mark became my attorney, who was a key factor in the successful sale of my townhouse. I am completely happy and deeply satisfied with the outstanding and professional assistance that he and his staff provided to me. I will admit that I was a bit nervous, with so quickly moving from renting my property to selling it. So, I'd questioned everything. Mark and his staff responded to all my questions quickly and completely. Even, they were the first to call me, on any status updates, and tell me of good news, along the process. I felt completely at ease, every step of the way. Mark is very friendly, down to Earth, and cares about giving the kind of service that his clients deserve. Thank you so much, Mark!

We worked with Ryan Gardner and his team at Howard & Howard to redo from scratch our previous estate plan. The original plan had been created more than 10 years ago with a different firm, and although that firm came highly recommended, we were disappointed with its people, their process, and ultimately the plan. In stark contrast, Ryan and his team generously provided us with the care, expertise, and guidance we needed. The end result for us was creation of a strong estate plan that we understand so we have confidence it meets our family’s needs. Here’s what Ryan and his team gave us that the other prominent firm did not: • A robust initial call to get acquainted, to understand our goals and needs, to explain estate planning concepts in simple terms, and to identify the process and people with whom we’d be working; we couldn’t believe how much time we were given on this call. • An engagement letter so the process and pricing were formalized and understood up-front. It gave us comfort and confidence to proceed. There were no silly or hidden costs. • Accessibility to Ryan, the attorney/counselor, not a conduit, as often as needed (within reason) for follow-up questions. Brief calls were provided at no additional cost. These calls were never rushed and were always long enough to meet our needs at no additional cost. • Prompt and reliable support. Ryan’s team was dependable. Document drafts were always accurate to the finest detail, and were provided in advance so we could read (and re-read) them to establish confidence in the content and its meaning. • Practical guidance. When asked, Ryan provided examples from his personal estate plan. Hearing what he did and why helped us to understand our options and make better decisions. Working with Ryan felt to us like working with a family member or trusted friend. Securing our family’s estate seemed as important to him and his team as it was to us. What a huge sense of relief to complete this critical task with full confidence.

He was able to help us navigate through Medicare and Medicaid needs and able to keep tabs on all documentation to maintain organization. He was an excellent advisor to understanding probate when we had to settle the estate for my family member. He has also drafted POAs and wills for my family and is always keeping us in the loop when laws change so we can update language as needed and goes over the information carefully and answers all questions.

Their professionalism and dedication were evident at every step of the process. They maintained excellent communication throughout, always keeping me informed and answering all my questions promptly. What impressed me the most was how seamlessly they handled my case. They provided top-notch representation in court, and thanks to their expertise, my case was dismissed without any hassle or negative impact on my record.

The absolute worst will go through hell and back on the internet but won’t look at your case or pick up the phone ignorant and incompetent.

Disgusting morals and lack of respect for ethics the reviews posted within the last 4 months were written by her acquaintances BEWARE she removes bad reviews then will find and stalk you AFTER doing bad business and keeping your money

Don’t know the law. Requesting payment constantly. Can’t provide 1 invoice or detailed billing after a year of payment. Failed to show up in court. Can’t follow up on motions. You need to beg for communication (so busy doing nothing) and never get it. Was not noticed about fillings and appearances I was to attend until a few days before…… Can’t get a copy of my file and it’s close to a year! Stay away!!! FRAUD!!!! Starting class action for anyone interested!

We found JTLG and Michael Goldberg through MetLife Legal and chose him based on the great reviews and experience in estate planning. Michael was a delight to work with, he was understanding, patient and thoroughly answered all our questions both specific to our needs as well as the basics. For something that we have been meaning/dreading to do for some time, Michael put our minds at ease and tailored an estate plan specifically for our family which included a trust, living will, power of attorney for property & healthcare, HIPAA authorization and deed transfer. All we can say is thank you Michael for a great experience in putting our plan documents together and all the follow up in its execution. My wife & I would highly recommend Michael for their estate planning needs. We would also like to thank Michael’s paralegal, Payton for her prompt follow up & assistance in arranging meetings especially with our financial advisor.

We retained Ms. Jackson to prepare several estate documents. In our initial meeting she explained options for what we wanted to achieve and answered our questions. When we agreed to retain her, we signed a letter of engagement that detailed her scope of work and fees. Her website provides a list of fees for specific services. When we received the drafts of our documents she very promptly and thoroughly answered our questions. Once the documents were executed, she provided us with paper originals and electronic copies. Making appointments was easy and with two locations we could meet where most convenient for us. She took sufficient time with us and didn’t make us feel rushed. She has good credentials, was knowledgeable, professional and pleasant to deal with. We were very pleased with our experience.

I cannot recommend this car accident lawyer firm enough! From the very beginning, they were incredibly attentive and truly customer-oriented. Their professionalism and dedication were evident at every step of the process. They maintained excellent communication throughout, always keeping me informed and answering all my questions promptly. What impressed me the most was how seamlessly they handled my case. They provided top-notch representation in court, and thanks to their expertise, my case was dismissed without any hassle or negative impact on my record. They made what could have been a stressful experience completely painless. If you’re looking for a legal team that genuinely cares about their clients and delivers outstanding results, this is the one. Thank you so much for everything!

I cannot praise Ms. Delaney highly enough! She is an absolutely amazing attorney, very meticulous, sharp, and detailed oriented, as well as a kind hearted and insightful individual. She is honest and straightforward, taking the time to thoroughly examine the particulars of any situation. She is always on the ball and makes one feel one has gotten the most out of an hour. I have always felt when she arrives she taken time to prepare for issues to be addressed with a diverse background and wealth of knowledge, bringing to the table insights and suggestions I had not considered. Additionally, she takes the time to fully answer any questions sent via emails, without extra charge, which is very reasonable. I have worked with Ms. Delaney for about two years now, and we have gone through the details of multiple issues related to elder law and elder care regarding my parents. With her guidance we have for example addressed the details of Medicaid applications, directing of funds to a particular individual after the sale of a house owned by a relative on Medicaid in order to shield that individual from losing coverage and benefits, as well as the particulars of low income government assistance programs. She would also make sure nursing homes would deduct funds related to parental medical care from monthly social security payments vs. the personal funds of a caregiver, for example. Questions involving social security disability, power of attorney, and the ins and outs of the role of Medicaid in assisted living vs. nursing home, details involving reverse mortgage in relation to Medicaid and ownership of assets, were addressed. Pros and cons of particular government programs, extra help from Medicare, and the ins and outs of such issues as particular types of trusts were also addressed in detail. It is hard to completely disclose all issues addressed, but suffice it to say the numerous particulars of a whole array of situations were addressed in a concise and detailed manner, thanks to Amy's depth of knowledge and experience. As a lady client, I also felt comfortable working with Amy, who has received numerous awards over the years as a renowned and exceptional woman lawyer. Furthermore, I never felt rushed during our sessions, and had the opportunity to not only meet in person but also to speak on the phone if more convenient. I cannot recommend Ms. Delaney highly enough! Her experience, abundance of knowledge and resources, her intelligence and respectful, considerate nature make her an exceptional lawyer to work with. Thank you so much Amy!

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.
