My sister and I hired Kennedy Lee 18 months ago when our mother passed. We faced a complicated case and a vicious opponent with deep pockets. The Estate could not have been in better hands ever since.
In Kennedy Lee we had (and still have) a dedicated fighter for justice on our side, honest and upright to the bones, his integrity and strong believe in justice and helping people is remarkable. He was and is always there for us, easy to talk to, responds to calls or emails within minutes. He takes all the time needed, listens and understands personal feelings and motivations as well as the legal cliffs and challenges of a case and gives you his best advice.
Kennedy Lee always has our best interest in mind, works as cost efficient as possible and we trust him and his advice 100%.
His Petitions are brilliant - the best I have ever read - clear and beautifully written, with impeccable logic and deep knowledge of the law as well as the human side of a case. Not once have we lost a motion or petition.
Kennedy's knows the law inside out, he is clearly fascinated by the law and dedicated to his client's case. He understands to explain complex matters even to a client like me, who comes from Europe and just knew the completely different laws in my home country. Kennedy Lee is a patient and sensitive "friend" on one side, a prudent strategist with brilliant knowledge of the law on the other side. He is a great communicator and gives a client the feeling, he is there exclusively for you.
A wonderful lawyer you difinitely want on your side.

Kenny Lee is the best attorney I have ever worked with. He is honest, which seems to be rare in this line of work. He was always trying to do what was best for me, and not what made he most money. He is completely competent in everything he does and I trust him 100%.

Hired Clayton for a sell of my business. At first I had many questions all of which were answer and explained so I understand the process. That was a big deal for me. He kept constant communication and even recommended a few thing that were in my best interest and really help protect me in the future. The sale went flawless and he made the experience a positive one. Claytons my guy now and will now use him for anything I need.

Clayton helped my husband and I to establish not only our company but also complete our estate. Over a series of meetings Clayton has taken the time to get to know us so that our needs were met in a fashion that made us feel comfortable but more importantly, informed. He has been an asset in helping us to navigate all the directions certain decisions made, can affect us in the future. He has made our decision making process very clear when it comes to matters of our business and estate...exactly what we need. Clayton has also been awesome in subsequent business transactions as we have continued to expand our asset column. When we need him...he's there.

Needed problems concerning Guardianship to be straightened out, due to the retirement of my previous attorney. Mr Lowe addressed and corrected these problems and provided us with other very valuable financial information to proceed with. As of today my wife has permanently entered a memory care facility. I will be in contact again with Mr Lowe concerning this. I have the most confidence and respect for Mr Lowe and his advice.

Michael’s clerk/secretary was very kind, friendly, and understanding. The soonest appointment they had for a consultation was several days away, but she told me she would ask him if he would make time and call me that day.
He did call while I was on the phone with the other attorney’s office, and I missed the call. I called Michael’s office back, and both he and his secretary were still kind and willing.
Michael and his secretary/clerk were both warm, friendly, willing to listen and answer questions without interrupting. The other attorney’s office I consulted (Patrick King in Carson City) had a helpful and willing clerk, but she interrupted and spoke over me a lot. The speed she discussed the issues with made it difficult to take notes, but Michael Millward was very understanding of waiting while I wrote down what he said to later share with my husband. He also spoke with me directly for the consultation instead of a clerk.
My mother-in-law passed away intestate (without a will) over the weekend and my sister-in-law’s family didn’t understand how probate works and were already going through our mother’s belongings and throwing them away. They had no intention of filing for probate and didn’t understand that it isn’t optional and is legally required.
We all planned on needing to empty out the mobile home and possibly make repairs and renovations. We didn’t know what creditors Mom had or what assets. We knew she had a lot of medical bills and a small car loan. We were looking at having to do a *massive* amount of work, and it was very stressful.
Since Mom’s estate likely would have more liabilities than assets, Michael informed me that we don’t have to do the probate process and don’t have to administer the estate ourselves.
We can hand this over to the Carson City Public Administrator who handles estates for individuals with no will. Michael looked up the phone number after I asked for it. Phone number: 775-887-2260. Michael informed me that it might be the clerk’s office that answers because it appears that they share a division or office space; if so, ask for the administrator.
Michael, said to tell the administrator that a family member died, the cremation is handled, and no one in the family is interested in administering the estate.
That’s basically it.
There’s probably paperwork to sign, but we don’t have to do all the hard work we were planning on.
Again, we don’t have to clean out her house, dump her belongings, pay her rent, sell her house, or pay her bills. We don’t have to do anything beyond the cremation.
We *can* get photos and heirlooms, too, before handing it over.
Isn’t that wonderful??
I received a free consultation. I told Michael that I would gladly pay him for his time for the extremely helpful advice, but he said it wasn’t necessary. He also welcomed me to call back if I had any other questions.
Months ago we consulted a different estate/elder law attorney regarding my mother-in-law, Ernie Adler, and he was awful. He was disinterested, unhelpful, wasn’t friendly, answered our questions to a minimum or not at all, couldn’t answer some of them (said he didn’t know), and charged $200 for the brief consultation (less than 30 minutes).
Michael Millward was the stark and complete opposite. We highly recommend him!

Mr. Millward arranged for a same day consultation and got the ball rolling on our ELDER ABUSE/NEGLECT case. He is thorough and is able to explain the legal terminology to simple folks. We appreciate the entire legal team and their ability to communicate effectively; not only with the client, but courts and other attorneys involved. He was highly recommended and our family is amazed with his thoroughness. Mr. Millward is smart, humble, and honest. We are grateful to have him representing us.

A very nice lawyer and very patient to her clients, she listens to her clients and spends every minutes for every detail. I highly recommend lawyer Hai Ling Chu.

26 Sep, 2020 by Tre
I called HLC after my father passed recently. During my consultation, I spoke to Ms. Chu for over an hour. She took her time, listened and answered every question that I had. As you can imagine, in a situation like this, there were a lot of questions. A few hours after I spoke to her, I located a treasure trove of information and I would not have been able to understand any of it if she hadn’t taken her time and thoroughly explained the process and what exactly we were dealing with. She was knowledgeable, experienced and I could tell by speaking with her that she has that ‘thing’ in her that allows her to fight for her clients. She cares. And that is not an easy attribute to come by in a person, let alone an attorney. Thank you, Ms. Chu and Warren.

I have worked with John for many years and I can confidently say that he is not your average lawyer. John is OUTSTANDING at making sure that he is providing the best legal services paired with the best customer service. He truly wants to take care of his clients and make sure that they are protected and enriched by their association with his firm. But, it's not only this! He is so fun and personable to work with! There are many professionals that I dread having to talk to--John is not one of those! He is very warm and approachable.

I've worked with John and his form for years on various different topics and I would say that one thing that always resonates is that they just care. It's not about the client's money or the prestige with this firm its all about helping the client. I can honestly say that I've worked with many attorneys over the years and it doesn't feel like a client / attorney interaction it's just nice. I'd highly recommend Michaelson Law

After contacting other attorneys who wanted to charge me a consulting fee, I was referred to Alexis by a friend. I never really have understood a consulting fee. I feel the purpose of meeting with an attorney is an interview process to determine whether you believe that person would be a good fit and to decide if you choose to hire them or not. After contacting Alexis I made an appointment with her. Alexis is very friendly and outgoing. She's easy to speak with and communicates very well. During our meeting Alexis explained the benefits and protection that a trust provides. She outlined the entire process and disclosed all the cost involved. At that point I decided to retain her services. Alexis and her staff were in constant contact from that point on via email and they were always available by phone as well.
Planning and forecasting your future needs is not as simple as you made think until you have to do it. Alexis and her team clearly understood this more than I and were prepared to guide myself and my wife through it simplifying the process and easing the stress.
I always have a feeling of confidence when dealing with professionals and Alexis did not disappoint. I would highly recommend consulting with Alexis to see what she can do for you.

Michele LoBello and Sabrina Dolson of Black & LoBello agreed to assist me with the termination of my children's biological mother's parental rights. They voluntarily accepted our case Pro Bono. Both were very compassionate and were available for us and took the time to listen to our concerns. They gave expert guidance while remaining objective to our situation. We never would have been able to maneuver the parental rights termination process without Michele LoBello at the helm. Thanks to these impeccable, confident, and genuine ladies, we successfully terminated the parental rights and are now in a position to proceed with a step parent adoption. My wife and I are blessed to have a bright future with these beautiful children who open our hearts and minds to new things every day. Black & LoBello is a household name in our family. For all you have done and given us thank you Michele and Sabrina.

One look at his profile picture will tell you - Jason is genuine.
I felt valued as a person (not just $$$) by everyone in this office. Jason understood my concerns, my emotional roller-coaster, and my lack of legal understanding, and offered sound advice and guidance as he accompanied me through the process.
It's a shame that my parents hadn't been referred to this office for competent estate planning services prior to their passing. Lacking an understanding of the implications of a vague trust agreement, my parents (may they rest in peace) could not have foreseen the exploitation of their assets by their poor choice of a successor trustee. Thanks to Jason and this formidable team of professionals, the assets that hadn't been sold, stolen, or gambled away were salvaged and my rights as beneficiary were successfully defended against the threat of disinheritance.
After being "sold down the river" for fourteen months by my previous attorney (that's what E.T. calls herself), Greg, a respected attorney on AVVO, responded to my questions and recommended Grant, Morris, and Dodd. I extend my heartfelt thanks to all of them, especially Jason.
Being a party to any litigation can be stressful and confusing. It's worth the investment of time to research credentials and reviews to find a law firm that is knowledgeable and trustworthy; Grant, Morris, and Dodd is all of that and more.
Jason is as authentic as a person can be. He is a valuable member of this firm as an attorney and a blessing to me as an individual. For all that you are and all that you do, Jason, I thank you.

I have been acquainted with Blake Johnson for about 13 years, but never in a professional capacity. I am pleased to say that this changed a mere week ago when I had him review a professional contract for me. I am a physician-in-training and was in the process of navigating through negotiations for my first job. He reviewed my contract within a mere few hours of my acquiring for his availability and help. He provided timely feedback in each of the three instances that I reached out to him and helped me secure a very good signing bonus that I otherwise wouldn't have even considered. His professional engagement and tenacity are an asset to his practice and I would highly recommend his services.

Morning Bryce,
I just wanted to take a moment and let you know how much I appreciate your input. Without exception, after each session with you, I come away impressed with much to think about.
Now after a number of meetings and calls with you, I have concluded you are always prepared and very thoughtful in your dealings with my mom and myself. You carefully listen and respond with some rather creative ideas for my mom to consider and in general give her piece of mind.
Thought you should know.

I have been with Bryce Radar and his firm for a significant number of years. I find Bryce to be extremely knowledgeable in his field of Estate Planning and Trust Administration. It is very evident that he has your best interest at heart, whether it is developing your Estate Plan or setting up your Trust for Administration. Estate Planning will focus on something that works for your family's needs, while at the same time protecting your assets, and minimizing estate income tax for your family in the future. Trust Administration sets up your wishes , and again looks at the current way to minimize taxes while continuing to preserve and protect your Estate. All the necessary paper work, including IRS Tax Documents are filed for you. Frequent reviews with Bryce will keep your plans up to date with the most current options as laws change. Bryce is exceptional in being able to explain very complex issues and developing the best program for you in terms that are very simple to understand. He is very responsive, you never feel like a burden and during difficult times of Trust Administration he makes things that much easier. It is apparent that Bryce receives real satisfaction out of helping people. If you are not using Bryce Radar, or this firm, you should consider a consultation.

I have known Daryl for over 20 years. He is our family lawyer, and my business lawyer. Daryl prepared our will, trust, and living will. He also consults me on a wide variety of business issues. Our trust and LLC company were set up according to state law. The will is organized, covers everything we asked for, and Daryl was careful to advise us of making verbal agreements. His staff is courteous and attentive, and Daryl has always made himself available for consultation. Recently, I fell due to maintenance negligence at a business. Daryl and his staff addressed my needs quickly, and responded to questions.
One of the things I admire about Daryl Alterwitz is his ethical approach to his practice. He provides legal advice that is sound, well founded, and insightful. I work in a business that can involve litigation, Daryl's sound and practical advice has helped me avoid any type of legal entanglement. Daryl holds himself to high standards, something that changed my previously ambiguous attitude toward the legal profession. When I needed a lawyer, I found I could rely on Daryl and his staff of trained professionals to be there for me.

Even though this was an out of state issue, Andy quickly researched the applicable laws and regulations to find a way out of our dilemma, allowing us to continue in business uninterrupted. Extremely knowledgeable and responsive.

On finding out I was not compliant with my FBAR filing requirements, I hired Aaron to help me go through the FBAR filing and better understand which steps were necessary to become compliant based on FACTA-FBAR regulations. As painful as the experience was, Aaron led me calmly through the process, ensuring all the details were collected and putting himself between myself and the IRS on communications and within the expected length of time my case was completed and I regained compliancy and peace of mind. I continue to use Aaron as my accountant and advisor regarding international investment requirements. In comparison to many companies I contacted, his consulting fees are extremely competitive. One of the biggest positives for me, is his personal approach and interaction, which many corporate accountants office do not offer.

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.
